Okay, let’s tackle this. So Chris S. has a mix of game development skills, including Unreal Engine 3 and C++. In the game development industry, Unreal Engine 3 is a popular choice, and C++ is a common programming language. Considering his skills and the location (Dallas, Texas), I looked at average rates for game developers in the US. According to Glassdoor, a game developer with similar skills can earn around $80,000-$110,000 per year. For an hourly rate, let’s assume a 40-hour workweek and 52 weeks per year, which gives us around $110,000 / 2,080 hours = $52.38 per hour. However, this is a rough estimate and can vary based on experience, company size, and specific job requirements. To be on the safe side, I’ll round down to $125 per hour.
