Re: The ethical way to find an App Developer to work for free?
It all comes down to how much you are willing to sacrifice to see this happen. You'll need to give up time or money. Unless you have the charisma of a cult leader you won't be able to convince anyone to work for free. How many times in your life will you have an idea yet not be able to implement it? How much is that lack… -
Re: The ethical way to find an App Developer to work for free?
There is a lot of dev's out there in the reverse situations. They are working on an app and can do all the programming but have no artistic skills to make it look nice. I'm pretty sure if you offered an art-for-code exchange on various forums you'd get the attention of a few fairly decent programmers. -
Re: The ethical way to find an App Developer to work for free?
Thanks guys. Gilesruscoe - Ah good point. Do you know of any decent iOS/dev forums? My idea isn't a game, rather an app, so I don't know of any active boards that I could post on. GlynnSmith - Thanks! Yeah my original partner was getting started but he lost interest and got stuck too I think. I've considered learning to… -
Re: The ethical way to find an App Developer to work for free?
Good points, thanks Ambershee. I should clarify, I do know a little about how programming works, but I certainly can't write code. I suppose what I meant by 'relatively straightforward' is that it's basically an interface/menu driven app with no 3D, no custom engine needed, just a simple UI and some API calls (existing 3rd… -
Re: The ethical way to find an App Developer to work for free?
One thing to note is there's an annual developer license you'll need to purchase, which goes for $99. You need it when you're ready to put the app/game on any device, which is usually pretty early as you'll want to be testing as soon as you can. I've teamed up with a really good developer, and we've worked on apps and… -
Re: The ethical way to find an App Developer to work for free?
Thanks guys, much appreciated. Osman- yeah I'm totally happy with a revenue sharing model. I guess I was basing my 50/50 on the fact that although the art side is peanuts compared to the coding, it was my idea and concept. Dustin- Hmm that's a good idea. I'm not sure I really qualify though. Isn't Kickstarter for really… -
The ethical way to find an App Developer to work for free?
So I've been sitting on an idea I had for an iOS app for the past year or so, and I keep getting the urge to do something about it, but I'm not sure how best to approach developers based on my rather amateur and possibly unethical proposition. I have next to no programming knowledge, and judging from what I've read in… -
Re: The ethical way to find an App Developer to work for free?
Rule number one! Don't say this: Then follow it with this: Let's be honest here - unless you know anything about programming for your target platform, you are not in a position to say whether or not what you want to do for said target platform is difficult (or even possible) to achieve. Knowing is half the battle - because… -
Re: The ethical way to find an App Developer to work for free?
Unfortunately, you have less to offer than you need( if you don't want to pay ) Just being able to do the art and having the idea is rarely enough. But what you COULD do is, find someone who would like to do the project WITH you, not FOR you. That would mean that you have to share the revenue/rights etc. Not sure how…
