Frequently Asked Questions
Use a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before sharing any game details. This legally binds the developer to confidentiality. You can also outline ownership rights in the contract to ensure all intellectual property belongs to you once the project is complete.
Common mistakes include hiring solely on price, skipping portfolio checks, unclear project scope, and not setting milestones. Always verify experience in your game genre and ensure there’s a clear communication plan.
Check their portfolio for similar projects, request playable demos, and ask genre-specific questions in the interview. Developers with hands-on experience in your target genre will better understand the mechanics and audience expectations.
It depends on the project size. Small indie games can sometimes be handled by one skilled developer, while complex games require a full team including designers, programmers, and testers for efficiency and quality.
Set aside at least 20–30% of your development budget for post-launch support, bug fixes, updates, and new features. This ensures your game remains relevant and competitive over time.
