real investor

[rogercbryan]

Honestly, if he spent 500k in investing on the game engine itself, and he developed parts of the engine as well, then he has invested not only his money, but he has invested his time, dedication, and passion into the project, that it would be very easy for the investor to see - from the project itself. And the investor will see it through a demo - the problem isn't saying that his business idea is a game engine. Its the fact that the general software industry is used to low-risk investment, with a high ROI, now merge this pattern with the case of "the wrong investor" so the solution to the problem is finding a retired video game executive, that knows a video game company that is in great need for a game engine. Now, this company might acquire the technology, but he's making double the cash that you invested into his project. That's what they do, acquire the technology, and pay double with stipulations, such as bringing him on the team, or bringing his friends/workers on the team.

Finally, you have to understand making a game engine isn't one of those... 5k investment kind of project. Game Engines cost anywhere between 100k to 500k to a million. Take this into consideration: Modern Warfare 2 costed Infinity Ward and Activision almost $40 to $50 million to produce. Almost quarter half of that comes from a modified Quake Engine. The launch budget was a whooping $200 million, Modern Warfare 2 went on to become the best selling video game of all time with a staggering $550 million. Do the math.

Now, as of this writing, MW2 must be selling anywhere between 3 to 5 million copies and its been on the market for what? 5 months? And what are the investors doing at this time? Anywhere between a vacation, investment in another multimillion-dollar start-up, or corporation, a mansion, a home...you name it.

You quoted me but didn't address what I said...

Just so everyone knows, I mentioned that I have 3 different ventures, 2 small ones and one very large one.

You missed the mark. Yes, I did address your comment. You called Dragon a liar, I told you otherwise. Tsk. Tsk.

Quite embarrassing. Sorry.

First of all, I am not a Liar. I am an aggressive business person. I have recently moved my driving business up north to Grande Prarie Alberta and business is exploding. My Laptop business be be making a launch by June 1 under the name of DarkStorm Computers, so keep an eye out for that venture. Last but not least, my game development project might soon have a Innovation Grant from the cansdian government due to its recently proved capabilities. So for someone to call me a Liar when they are trying to judge my integrity and capabilities via a Forum on the internet. This makes me wonder if they are actually the ones who are not capable of operating a successful venture. Although I would like to thank Carlos foor the following comment:

I still fail to see where I called you a liar... I did say you are full of it. I would like to see the books on your $500K investment. You might think that based on your time and development that your project is worth $500K but to have put $500K in real capital into this project would mean you have a level of competence that has not been shown in this post. Would you be so kind as to outline your capital expenditures to show us you really put $500K into the project? This is a normal question that a normal investor would ask. I'm wagering to say as I did in my previous posts that you did not invest $500K in actual capital... you may be valuing your project based on your opinion at $500K but in reality you may have only invested $20,000 in real capital into it. There is a HUGE difference...

Again... I did not call anyone a liar as of yet... I think perceptions are wrong and there is a lot of immaturity based on your inability to eloquently face your proponents.. but other then that I'd just like to see the numbers... Tell us what you spent the $500K on, where you got the capital from, what your current debt situation is, and how you are currently capitalized. You may also want to outline how you will spend the new investment, what your repayment plans are, and how you plan to capitalize on this project in the future... again all normal questions an investor would ask.

Before you respond with:
"it's none of your business"
or
"I don't have to prove anything to you"
or
"It's confidential"

Let me remind you that its you reputation on the line and not mine... So show me the numbers!
