$100k -$500k for graphics and $10k for the AI coding? I wouldn't want to play that game, and I guess most others here wouldn't either.  |
is it because that's a lot, and thus no one here would want to play such a mainstream-style game, or because that's not very much at all, and no one here would want to play such a poor quality game?
sorry for my naivety, but I really have no metric here...
I think that I play games like Dwarf Fortress more than most other games, and it, in terms of man-hours, is probably under 100k. (assuming 55k a year per person for full-time. I think there's two guys working on it for a few years, and they by no means do it full-time).
