The cost of translating my final project into an iOS format?

#1 Post by crimsonnight » Fri Nov 02, 2012 8:26 am

I have a short-ish project built in Ren'Py and once finished I will be looking for a coder to translate it into an iOS format so that I can release it across Apple products. I've heard there are sites where programmers can bid to work on a project? Does anyone have an idea of the rough cost it would take to get the code translated? Cheers,

I may be completely wrong here, but as far as I know, there is currently no way/plans to port Ren'Py to iphone for various reasons. That would mean getting an iphone developer to create an entire VN framework, or utilising an existing one and attempting to port your Ren'Py script into it. As far as I can see, this would probably be a reasonably costly effort.

Check out Convenience Wars, Rakit Studios' first VN title!

No that's the current state of things as far as I'm aware, think you're spot on :) I know it'll be a lot of work but any ideas of a rough cost?
