    Default Introversion job offer for prototyping Mobile Defcon

    In a nutshell, 3 months of work for £6000 to prototype their game on a handheld (DS/PSP most likely)

    Introduction

    An opportunity has arisen for a new version of DEFCON to be created for a mobile platform . In order to de-risk the project Introversion requires the development of a prototype that will demonstrate the game running on a simulation of the target platform.

    Once we have acquired the prototype we will further investigate the commercial viability of the title. Should we choose to proceed, we will be looking to create the full version of mobile DEFCON. Whilst we would be keen to offer this work to the developer who created the prototype, this work would not be guaranteed at this stage.

    Technical Requirement

    We require a Windows or Mac OS executable that simulates single player DEFCON mobile running on the target platform. This prototype would simulate the screen size and resolution of the target platform, as well as the physical input system. The new platform will provide additional data sets to DEFCON and the prototype will simulate these inputs. The game would need to be interactive, but we would not expect full functionality within the prototype.

    ...

    Timescales

    Our initial plans suggest that the prototype will require approximately 3 months of full time work.

    We are aiming to have a complete prototype finished by the end of September 2007.

    Remuneration

    The budget for the project is £6000, payable in two initial instalments of £1500 and a completion bonus of £3000.

    This isn't beta testing. You have to port the game to a handheld using their source base. Please read the full article that was linked.

    so what im reading is, they want a game made for a handheld system, and an emulator to run it on a PC/Mac?

    Read the full article.
    They already have the game coded in C++
    They need it prototyped for a handheld system because they have no experience in it.
    Introversion are a really good indie software group that made it big.

    They basically want an idea on how it could run on a handheld. To show this, the prototype should be able to run on the PC but in a constrained fashion to mimic a handheld. Not an emulator, just a simulation.
