mode 7 shooter cost?

[Vance Raehart]

i need to know a cost cause I'm gonna start a kickstarter project. i wont say what yet, but ill just say something motivated me to do this!




something like this above

racing game a i know but look below

simple rotating left and right

strafing

lock on.

NOTE: im not in the mood for stupid answers atm, thats more than your paycheck, more than 300 bucks. YOU CAN AFFORD THAT

NO ****! thats why im doing a kickstart. im sry but im kinda stressed from other things

at least tell me how much a mode 7 would cost?

With programming, a lot of the price depends on the details - and you don't give much details for us to even start assuming the costs.


For example "simple rotating left and right":


There is nothing "simple" in rotating.


Base RM knows only four directions and if you use that, you rotate only by 90°.


It's difficult to tell from the video above, but I think that uses rotation in something like 15°-steps, which would require 16 directions.


However, a lot of modern 3D-Games use 1° steps these days for "true" 360°-turning.


The cost in programming will depend on which turn modes you want - it would be rather cheap if you stick with 4-directions, but that would make a very bad racing game.


Creating an RM-Script that allows for flawless 360° turning and mode-7- graphics will probably require a lot of work, estimated several hundreds or a few thousands dollars - and that doesn't yet include any graphics.


So you need to provide more details like these before anyone can give you an estimate.


Another point: there have been several topics on this forum on successfull Kickstarter Campaigns, and I suggest that you read them before continuing. ALL successfull Kickstarters require that you already have something to show before asking for the money - if you don't have anything to show but are just promising to work with the money you get from kickstarter, your chances are rather bad. Your best Chances for Kickstarter (in my opinion) are if your game is at least 50% complete before you ask for money to make the rest of the game.
