Game Scope & Cost Planner
Build a web app that converts an indie game idea into scoped features, realistic effort bands, and staged outsourcing plans. The core value is reducing expensive hiring mistakes before money is committed, especially for artists or hobbyists without engineering backgrounds.
これが重要な理由
You have an idea you care about, but every decision about coding feels financially dangerous. You are not just asking what a programmer costs; you are trying to understand what the work actually is, how much of it exists, and whether one feature will quietly turn into a multi-month expense. Without technical language or estimation experience, you risk paying for vague output, underbudgeting, or delaying forever. What you need first is not another marketplace. You need a planning layer that turns a creative concept into concrete work packages, tradeoffs, and spending limits you can understand before hiring anyone.

失敗する可能性がある理由
自己反論 — 最も重要な信頼のシグナル
- 1If the estimate quality is not trusted, users will treat the product as entertainment instead of a buying tool
- 2If the workflow is too detailed, hobbyists may abandon it before seeing value
- 3If AI assistants add similar planning features for free, pricing power may compress

This opportunity is strongly supported by the most frequently discussed pain in the thread: cost uncertainty and poor scoping. Financial risk appeared in about nineteen mentions, while requirement-definition problems appeared in roughly fourteen. Multiple commenters also proposed software that could break ideas into work packages and estimate realistic timelines and budgets, showing a direct pull for a planning product.
