thank you for the tips.

It is interesting to see other projects in work. The project I am looking after will be part of program to develop leadership, decision making EI related skills. The game will not be available in the market for purchase (bummer).

In this sense it is not in competition with any other game. In fact if another game meets our requirement I would happy to license it. If BZ2 licensing issue would allow and if a mod could do the work. I will be happy to fund its development. We are not in the 'gaming' business. Its developing learning experiences that interests us and we think that games like BZ2 has a lot to offer here.

No one in my firm has any experience with developing games and I was hopping that folks here could sensitize me to issues that would be of importance.

Hello all,

I need a game developed that is similar to battlezone 2 (though more complex). Think of this game as the dady of BZ2 where BZ2 types games are embedded within a larger RTS game. The game play though is RTS/FPS with the treatment identical to BZ2 rather than other games such as savage etc.

The game is a part of a program to develop decision making, problem solving, communication skills and leadership qualities.

The project is a go there are no two aways about it. The problem is I have NO EXPERIENCE in this field.

I was wondering if you folks could help me understand, how to evaluate potential vendors and issues that I should consider.

I am in conversation with couple of small development studios in Eastern Europe or 1 man shows in the US   (albeit with a few titles under his belt mostly in arcade or roller coaster type games. He promises to put together a team)

I need just the multiplayer element, no single player, music etc. Graphics just a notch better than BZ2 and not cutting edge. If need be the game could be limited to a single terrain type (snow, desert whatever)

I am being quoted %150-$250k, is this realistic?

What kind design studios I should be talking to. I cannot spend the kind of money big publishers do. The game is for a niche training/ learning market and $150-$250k is about the budget. Possible?

would appreciate all help I can get.

regards

ah one more thing, could some one review this engine for me?
