I'm trying to research the development cost of my game project that I have designed with GDD, other doc, spreadsheets, etc but could use additional input. I'd like to know the salary cost mostly of different skills and fields needed for each art, programming, ai, etc. Some of these things I can do myself but not any of the advanced AI programming.
It's a 3D action adventure game
Graphics are to be reasonably good but not aiming for AAA
Medium sized playable areas (size of about 8 fps game maps) detailed with 100-200 props per area
14 3D characters, 30 animations across most of them
40 game items
6 NPC Factions
Advanced AI generation system (6+ Faction AI behaviors, many AI behaviors responding to player action, simulated world AI)
UI/Interface for notifications and manipulating items
Combat in different forms
If anyone with experience in working on these should shed some insight on the cost and time to do any of these that would be greatly appreciated!
