Budget Estimate
The game has four development stages, two of which require funding. The preliminary estimate for developing the DOME version of OrbJump is $7,500 to $10,000, and the development cost for the formal version is $26,500 to $35,000.
To ensure development efficiency and quality meet expectations, I will collaborate with suppliers, allocating most of the funds to supplier compensation.
