FAQ: Outsourcing for Indie Developers

What's a reasonable budget for indie game outsourcing?

Budgets vary widely, but many indie developers successfully outsource specific tasks for $5,000-$50,000. Start with your most time-consuming or skill-gap areas like art or animation.

Should indie developers outsource the whole game or just parts?

Most successful indie projects outsource specific components (art, audio, testing) rather than the entire game. This keeps you in creative control while filling skill gaps.

How do I protect my indie game idea when outsourcing?

Use NDAs (most professional studios will sign them), avoid sharing your complete game design document upfront, and build trust through small initial projects.

What payment terms work best for indie developers?

Look for milestone-based payments, which reduce risk for both parties. Some studios offer flexible terms like 30/40/30 splits across project phases.
