Cost Estimate
Hi everyone,
My company recently developed a children's app using .NET MAUI. It was a slow and expensive process. Plans for an new app are in the works, and the goal is to build a hybrid app this time, leveraging the company's Articulate 360 subscription.
As part of a proof of concept exercise, a developer recently used Articulate 360 and Java to recreate several games that were featured in the original, native app. They were exported in a SCORM format and the games actually functioned better than their native counterparts. They also took FAR less time and money to complete.
I'm trying to estimate the cost of developing the new hybrid app, and I need someone who has both a developer background and Articulate 360 knowledge. I'm on the content creation end, and this is not my area of expertise.
I realize I may be casting a line in the wrong place, but if anyone out there could offer advice, including a better place to search for answers, I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you!
Thanks, Andrew. Makes sense! Sounds like I need to speak directly with a developer or a developer outsourcing agency, so I can fully describe what we're looking for and answer any questions they may have. Thank you for your reply!

What Andrew mentions is correct - it takes a lot to make an educated guess of the cost of making an game. Our company (preludens) creates games using Articulate Storyline - we are open to talk and discuss what you need and give an estimate. We'll also share the outcome here for learning purposes!
Thanks Jan! I'm interested in speaking with you. What is the best way for me to contact you?

I suspect this is the right place, but without knowing the scope of the content or even what the other successful "games" you mention look like, I can't see how you'll get too accurate an answer. A game could take an hour for one experienced dev, or it could take a team of six a year.
