Slow day today normally its past 50MB Cant do a ping test. Firewall I can't be bothered opening a port just for this.

I like the sound of that! If I spent 1k on the engine, then $500 on a template / artwork. Would that be a good ratio of spending? or am I better off with a better template or getting someone to do both?

Second thoughts here guys :P I just saw some of the work from pixelfusionpro... Its very amateur seen bugs and all sorts. On the other hand the artwork is very nice. And all the games seemed to have a reasonable amount of online players I'm guessing that horizons, is worth the extra cash then? FYI I'm talking 2-4k US$ :P I have no idea how the templates work. So how easy is it to add one to the site?

Wow thanks for all the replies and messages!!!!!! I have found someone on the market place on this site. From doinkinator (Saturday, July 3rd 2010, 4:56pm) We also offer full game development including marketing for 1500 dollars you can have a fully custom game using a custom engine designed by our dev. Team as well as a heavy marketing campain structured by our marketing department which will guarentee your 2k users your first week open. We currently own multiple custom games that bring in over 4500 a month each based off the same structure we are offering here. And his site (which is down at the moment due to development) http://www.pixelfusionpro.com/ If anyone can give me some feed back in dealing with this guy that would be a great help. I am currently noting down anyone that has messaged me so I can get in contact with you if I need any help or the above deal falls through. At this stage I am not looking for a partner but I am going to be getting a server that is most likely overkill so I may be able to offer some very cheap hosting. I really want to see how the first game goes before I try partner with anyone. But I am still keen to have good coders in my contacts list for game updates and such

Hi All, A little about me first. I'm from New Zealand. I've been playing one of the games based on MCCodes and I quite enjoy it, but I thought there are alot of things that I could do better. My project. I don't have a heck of a lot of time to learn how to proficiently code PHP. But I do have the spare $$$ to pay someone to. I will be buying a MCCode license in the next week or so. From what I have read soo far in this forum there are a number of things to consider. 1. MCCode has a number of bugs that need fixing? 2. A good template costs quite a bit but is necessary to make the game look any good. 3. Custom mods. to differentiate the game from the 1000's of others just like it. 4. advertising. 5. A decent server with decent bandwidth. ( This is my forte so won't be needing any help here) 6. DNS name I have budgeted $2000 - $4000 to get the project off the ground, is this too much or too little? Now what I want to know is: Who would be interested in working for me on this project? How would I pay you so neither of us get ripped off. I really want to make this project work fast, but I want it all done properly. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!   :love:
