Paying for game development ?

Hi !

I would like the game Korsar (Loot) to be playable on boardgame arena. Is it possible to speed-up the process by paying (in BTC or other crypto) someone to dev this game in particular ? Rules are fairly easy and should be easy to code.

Best,

Seymoura

What about the license for the game ? Do you hold the right for it ?

As so many games are available here i thought that this was not a problem x). Creator is Reiner Knizia and you already have some of his games here (lately LAMA).

That means nothing. Licenses must be granted on a per game basis, so it would require publisher (and not game designer) approval.

I can see on the dev studio that this one was specifically rejected by Amigo. Maybe that's outdated, you could try to ask admins about that

Will you contact the admins or should I do it ? And how ?
And there are dozens of publishers, so why should we get AMIGO's approval only ?

No idea, I'm just saying what I saw on the license status page. The game was listed as "refused" under this publisher specifically.
