If the development of our game only took 4 days, it could imply a relatively limited scope in terms of features and complexity. It may also suggest a smaller development team and associated lower costs. Here is an estimate based on a quick assessment.
Developer: 1,600 € (4 days of work for a junior freelance developer).
Graphics: For graphic creation, including conceptual design and animation, we have budgeted 1,500 €.
Team Additions: Regarding other professions such as the scriptwriter and sound composer, we have allocated a total budget of 800 €.
We have estimated a total budget of 17,000 €. This amount is substantial yet relatively modest given the role of marketing. Without effective marketing, encompassing both print and digital communication strategies, we risk failing to generate profits from our game.
It is crucial not to overlook other expenses that can be significant in case of financial or legal issues.
It's important to note that these figures are simplified estimates and may vary depending on various factors. The speed of development could also mean reduced costs, but it depends on the complexity of the game and the skills of the team. It is always recommended to conduct a more detailed assessment to obtain more accurate figures.
