iPhone game developer? $10,000 – $25,000 sound good?

Instead of hunting down people left and right, we figured why not post this here… We’re looking to create an OpenGL-based multi-level iPhone game which will make full use of the accelerometer. We’re talking heavy 3D graphics, a lot of OpenAL audio, and some other stuff. Think you’ve got what it takes? We’d love to get going on this. Shoot us an email at iphonegame at boygeniusreport dot com with your resume and mad coder skillz and we’ll get back to you!

    WoW, 20Gs, wish I had a iPhone to try and make a game!

    Negotiating doesn’t seem to be your strong suit. Why would someone accept $10K (the bottom end of your range) when you’ve admitted you’d be willing to pay $25K?

    Uhm…maybe because the price range depends on the complexity of the game…

    Well, I only know how to do web programming… Doh! But, I do have some pretty good ideas for some games if anybody wants to take a crack at them :) Just email me and we’ll split the 10-25k (plus, I still need a new phone… my current Nokia is resetting arbritrarily).

    Dude, am also hunting for a developer myself, the app store is big business, i heard of people that though they wouldn’t be making the $250 that’s required to get your first check, making up to $3K a day, that’s Crazy cause most of these apps are not that great, but hey they are in front of more than 10 million iphone and ipod touch users and mostly all of them are starring at them

  • FuturDreamz

    well, considering the problems that iPhone developers, notably the “Fucking NDA,” have fun with that.

  • Galvatron

    last tim i codeed a game was in JR.high schol with hypertalk and hypercard I made a magic 8-ball app with some sarcasm
    HTML isok javas a pain.

    @FuturDreamz

    You’re not too smart are you? The NDA has nothing to do with applications that can be developed, and developers can work on whatever project they’d like. It’s about the information of that project being shared as well as Apple’s SDK information. Apple’s NDA has nothing to do with a party hiring a developer. Freak.

    HAHA, I think my favorite thing on the internet is watching BG clown on the morons. Is there anything better? Seriously?

  • jrring

    Why would anyone who knows C++ and OpenGL bother working on a crappy apple platform when they can create KICK ASS games for the PC using VS2008 or Borland?

  • backbeat

    @BG: FuturDreamz has _plenty_ of company from within their low-brow peanut gallery.

    @ jrring:

    Because there is a huge consumer base and a there are people willing to buy anything… just look at the eight douchebags who bought the “I Am Rich” application before Apple took it offline.

    I have a friend that is averaging 5,000 every 2-3 weeks… so it’s worth it.

  • Galvatron

    ^he’s just bitter cause he couldn’t get any last night

  • Maikel

    Besides the game, what happened to the BGR app I heard about a few weeks ago ?

  • backbeat

    @Galvatron: Thanks for the offer, but you can put that pea-shooter away … Talk about “shrinkage”! :)

    I HEARD GAMING COMPANIES LIKE ROCK STAR ARE GOING TO BE MAKING GAMES FOR IPHONES

  • blah

    AppStore is becoming AppBore. The quality of the games being offered so far is so sub-par.

    It’ll take a few months before the real good quality games and apps make it onto the platform. I’d venture to say that by Thanksgiving day the quality of available apps will be much improved, and the “freaks” who’ve built the crappy current crop of apps will be hard pressed to meet the quality of the professionals.

    @BG, you’d be better off spending that $25K on a good design team, and give them a slice of the action (back-end residuals)
