How much!?!

Starting bid: $10,000 or $100,000 to buy.

I think they need to work on the eBay page a bit more if they really are serious about this.

- working gameplay (AI, collision detection, etc.)
- 6 finished high-quality racing track
- Cocos2D based Objective-C source code
- 75% of code and graphics are complete
- iPhone exclusive, not published on any platform

This, and a screenshot! hmmmm.

[jtrencsenyi]

You are right!
I will post an in-game video soon...

[mehware]

100k to buy source code and graphics to a no where near complete racing game? For real... Do you know how many units you would have to sell to recoup that... geez.

[jtrencsenyi]

It's the EBay buy-now price. The minimum bid is $10,000!

99 units if the game costs $1,099 ;)

[jtrencsenyi]

lol! :d

Ummm.. Does not Apple take 30%?

Not sure 3/4 should be called "Near-to-finish".

[mehware]

@don_k

I just LOLed

[kohjingyu]

It's the EBay buy-now price. The minimum bid is $10,000!

Don't you think you're being a little unrealistic? I mean, cocos2d is open source. You used it to build a game that's 75% complete.

Should the price really be that high? I mean, anyone with decent knowledge of Objective-C could make a game like that.

[zbob]

ahaaa! i epic lol'd.
most apps don't make a tenth of the minimum bid!

[wootbean]

who would pay $100,000..I agree with kohjingyu, that's not really realistic

[dhondon]

What would be an realistic price for this "game"?

[jak56]

well, with six tracks and a pretty unpolished AI i'd say 99 cents for the time being. it's really the publishers choice i the end.

I think dhondon meant the price of the source, lol.

[dhondon]

Now the starting bid: $20,000.00, and buy now is 40,000.00.
What???

I call that progress !

[FK1983]

I call that progress !
I call it wishful thinking :D

[dhondon]

So where is the video?

[iphoneprogrammer]

yeah this game is not worth 10k at the stage its at. Im thinking around 2-4.5k at most....finish this game up and provide the buyer with a bunch of other stuff and then this game could be worth the 10k

[jtrencsenyi]

I have deleted the e-bay offer. Thank you for your comments! We will finish the game. I will post a video soon...

I find this whole thread a bit strange. May I ask why you were trying to sell the code in the first place?

dun dun dun!

Not sure 3/4 should be called "Near-to-finish".
Amen! Personally I'd say that 3/4 of the game finished means 80% of the work is still left...

The game looks good though! :)
