Hey Optix, thought I would just message you directly about the launcher. Do you have an idea on how much time you spent working on it?
Optix - Last Monday at 12:55 PM
Urmm thats hard to say , i use toggl tho so let me go look
So far on toggl 3.04 days thats about 73 hours thats not fully correct tho as most of the time i forget to turn on toggl but thats also not including the rest that still needs to be done to finish it off when the server stuff is ready.

sorry man, super delayed response. So what do you think a fair price would be for it then?
Optix - Last Monday at 3:19 PM
In really not good with prices lol
sync0s - Last Monday at 3:20 PM
Lol me neither man, but is there an amount that you would probably feel happy with considering how much work you put into it?
Optix - Last Monday at 3:21 PM
Not really, I’m sure chad offered a price at the start but I really can’t remember what it was
sync0s - Last Monday at 3:21 PM
lol yeah I'd have to ask him what it was
Well I'll just lead out with a number and you let me know if it's not good lol
how about 250gbp

I did have it on steam messages on phone but logged out last week and now there not there, I’m trying to remember what it was, it’s was something stupidly good that’s why I agreed but I was super busy at the time as well. I think I remember what it was I’m not sure he said it in dollars tho so was more, but meh, so do you want it as a one time thing or would you like improvements, fixes changes etc for free afterwards obvs would be a higher initial cost but would be worth it in the long run, so atm the base is pretty much done just need to convert the server backend api to a gui version so you can toggle options and change things etc, I finished the notifications for the client, I need to make it launch the game and join the server automatically from the launcher so if you want have to give users the server pass and what not it can be all configured on the backend and then the client will request it if they have access and what not, so if you could make the php script return banned if they are banned I can make the server reject there connection and all that fancy stuff
Still a few things todo yet but again it’s really dependent on having the platform to build it off atm so soon as that’s ready and you send me the details I can get straight to it
sync0s - Last Monday at 3:39 PM
I just fired a number man, go higher if needed, but yeah definitely will probably do improvements in the future and I will pay you for those. Honestly I think that banned users are just another user group so that should be an easy thing to do.
Yeah definitely. I'm only asking cause Chad told me that you said to him that you don't have time to work on it anymore and that you offered to sell what you have
Optix - Last Monday at 3:41 PM
I didn’t at the time, but I finished those projects off, so I’m back to working on it all again when your ends all ready
sync0s - Last Monday at 3:43 PM
Ok, I've just been focusing on getting it all put together and haven't spent any time deciding where I wanted to host the ftp. Still debating with myself. I'll figure that by the middle of the week for sure and let you know.
Just to be fair, how about I pay you for what you've done so far, if you can think of a fair amount
Optix - Last Monday at 3:45 PM
I’m more than happy for you to pay me at the end when the initial version is all done for you, I’m really not one for fucking people over and I don’t want any money until your happy, I’m not anton lol
sync0s - Last Monday at 3:46 PM
haha alright. I don't think you're like that anyway but whatever you feel comfortable with
Just start thinking of a number lol
Optix - Last Monday at 3:48 PM
Would be easier to just discuss an hourly rate tbh but again I don’t want to take money until you are happy with it all
At the end of the day your paying for what you asked for, and You will get what you asked for, at that point I will take money, I just hate leaving people feeling like they’ve been scammed lol
sync0s - Last Monday at 3:51 PM
lol that's cause you're a decent person. Hourly rate is fine with, but I'll want to keep a closer eye on the number of hours being put into it just to make sure it doesn't balloon into a huge expense if you know what i mean
fine with me^
Optix - Last Monday at 3:52 PM
Yeah, good point maybe it is better just as normal then
I have no clue do it how you wanna do it hahaha
sync0s - Last Monday at 3:54 PM
lol either way works for me man, I do prefer the hourly method cause it's probably most fair for both of us, but I micromanage it more cause hours can get a little expensive quickly lol. Honestly it's your preference. I do hourly with Jonzie and then flat fees with every other dev so I don't mind either way
Just like how you don't want to rip me off, I don't want to make you feel like you got ripped either man
but no need to make a decision now, just let me know what you decide when you do :)
Optix - Last Monday at 3:56 PM
Allrighty will do
