Requesting a game from a developer involves clear communication of your vision and requirements. First, you need to establish a comprehensive project brief detailing what type of game you want and what you want in it. This should include the game's concept, genre, target audience, platform (PC, console, mobile, AR/VR, etc.), graphical style, gameplay mechanics, and any unique features. If you're unsure about certain technical aspects, a good developer can help guide these decisions.
Once the brief is ready, you can approach developers or development studios with your proposal. Be sure to review their game development services and portfolio to ensure their style and skills align with your project. If they're interested, they will likely provide a project quote or proposal, outlining the cost, timeline, and development process.
Always ensure that the details of the agreement are put in writing in a formal contract, including the scope of work, milestones, payment terms, and intellectual property rights. Remember, creating a game is a collaborative process and open, ongoing communication with the developer is essential.
