Free Game Developer Service Agreement

That big studio gig looks nice until they squeeze three months of scope into one, then stiff you on the final 30% payment. They shipped the game using your critical code or assets, and now you’re fighting for thousands while eating the cost of your 80-hour work week.

Pro Contractor Tip

Do not execute the Intellectual Property Assignment clause until the final milestone payment has fully cleared your bank account, period.

Why use a written agreement?

Handshake deals are risky. As a Game Developer, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.
