HOnestly, with something that size I would at *least* at a 0 to the price.

Knowledge is worth more than a single product... and a power of 10 is cheap!

Subject: FLASH: Philosophy of values



If one were to bid a job that needed to use collision detection, lots of

drag and drop, tell targets to the drop targets, "bounce/angle" such as the

pong game, including slowing down the bounce over time, work-around so mc on

a mask layer can be "dragged", load movies into a moveable movie clip, the

"horizontal scrolling bar that changes direction & speed based on mouse

movement that Branden showed us" trick, plus zoom of various targets....and

one had figured out (guesstimated) that it would be about a 100 hour

project...and THEN the client says they want this to be a template, so that

they can plug in their own "subjects"... assuming one were capable of

figuring out how to make everything into "arrays" and variables that could

be replaced with different sizes and shapes of graphical pieces by the

client....


What percentage "mark-up" of the base price would be acceptable in the

client community (a large, knowledgeable company) for the fact that they

would be buying all rights to the project?  Do I double the price?  Just add

a couple hours?  Am not knowing at all....and I really hate appearing naive,

even when I am.
