Maybe I m asking something stupid but i was wondering if i can ask to a developer to create aspecific game. And in this case How much money would you have to give to ask a developer to create this game? Note that there is no desire to keep it for exclusive personal use and that the developer can use it as he wishes and in particular make money from it.

How much money would you have to give to ask a developer to create a specific game? Note that there is no desire to keep it for exclusive personal use and that the developer can use it as he wishes and in particular make money from it.
The game will be real shit then, as the developer will not invest his heart and soul into it.

But if you still wish to continue, you can try seeking someone on Fiverr.

Ok thanks, but i hope i can find a good developer to make a good game. I look for create a super hero parody with a good storyline and good models. I really think someone could be interested since marvel and dc are very popular.

it depends. if it roughly aligns with what they'd like to make anyway, then u wouldn't need to give them a whole lot of money, cause they also could make extra from patreon/substar as well. but the more it diverges from what they'd normally make, the more u'd have to pay (and the worse the results would be honestly). but yeah, if u're able to find the right person, 1k-10k dollars might be enough depending on their skill, and how specific u are with ur requests. and maybe even less, but at that point the quality would be dubious probably

like i said since marvel and dc are very popular i hope to find a developer who really want to make this game. Also he can have time for making it

Game Development (Proper) is an art, if the developer cannot express his desires and views into game, he will be just like a caged bird, never being able to reach his full potential.

I never watched marvel nor dc... nor do I really know anyone who is either of those.

But still better than hoping that one day a perfect game will get released.

i dont know where do you live but it s strange to me since avengers endgame is one of the movies with the high results on the box office in the history, if we considered the fact that disney own marvel and the popularity of superheroes in the media like tik tok or instagram

Ideas are a dime in a dozen. Giving rights to the game instead of payment is way to big of a risk to take for any developer. At best it might reduce there normal rate slightly, but I wouldnt count on it.

The reality is you are looking to hire a developer to make a game for you, and you just have to pay his rate. There is no way around that. How much it will cost in the end highly depends on the scope/size/quality/experience/time investment of the developer, but its likely way more than your willing to pay. My lowest estimate would prob be around $5k for a beginner working part time.
