Hi sswift. I'm just making a game for BFG at the moment (Retro64's loss..) but hey yeah perhaps we can cook up some synergy in the future. I don't have the time to email you some stuff right now, but let's talk in the future when you've made some money from ASB.
For reference, now I have the framework, games can be made fairly quickly. Oz took 280 hours on top of the framework (which took 250+) and HB took around 200. I keep proper logs so those figures are not estimates. HB involved a lot of talking to the artist and design work rather than coding. You can probably estimate a cost based on what you are prepared to pay * 250 hours. Perhaps ICS would take less time if it had a proper design doc so I could "paint by numbers". Also I'm getting faster each time as my code library and tricks 'n' tactics improve.
