Looking for investor for my nearly finished game

**gjerek** · 07-18-2011 02:55 AM

For the past few months my team was developing facebook game, which is slowly entering into finishing stages.

I don't want to go into a lot of details (on forum), but basicly game is worms like with only mutliplayer option.

At the moment we're looking for investor who will help us out to get started and will in exchange get share of the game or we will make something for your needs (web only ).

I am looking for investment for around $30.000 to maximum $50.000 (will depend how big share of game you get) to buy servers which will be able to run this on the scale as I am preparing, and to pay for sounds/graphics/stuff that is still missing and needs to be done.
If you are interested please contact me here on forum, and we can sort out details and I can show you the work that has been done until now.

Because some ppl were asking about me, I will write something so you can get to know me better.

I am 26year old from Slovenia, I started my own company few months ago. I am programming since like forever, for past 10 years I was working with my friend mostly PHP/Flash (AS). But after 10 years I kinda got tired of working for other ppl (and paying culture in my country is really really at lowest). So I decided I am going into world wide game production.
The game I am asking investment is nearly done and already can be played, even store is done and you can already spend facebook credits on it. But I fear everything will drop if I release it on current servers and current location.

If you have any more questions and want to test the game (what's done so far) say it and I will send it on private msg.

Still looking for investor, I made enough I can publish you some screen shots, but you will have to send me PM, because forum doesn't let me post link...

There are few screen shots from game with descriptions under pictures.
What I am offering:
$30.000 investment 10% share of the game
$50.000 investment 20% share of the game

With current trend and 20b$ worth business per year I hope my game can get very very tiny share of this money

Hi, is your game worth 250,000 USD??? It's a bit too much, isn't it???

svt, if you go check out facebook games, and how much they are worth, my game has potential to be worth alot more in a year.

There is indeed a lot of potential in games for facebook, but 10% is a very small share for the amount of investment. Yes you are the creator but i find it hard for someone to be willing to invest that king of money for 10%. As i said it is an interesting idea but there are no guarantees that it is going to work. Just because facebook is very popular doesn't mean that your game will become a hit. just my 2 cents

**Mogul2011** · 10-24-2011 02:08 PM

Lets say your game brings a revenue of 5k a month. that's only 500 dollars for the investor...why would anyone be willing to invest that kind of money for such a slim revenue. Even though you are the one with the idea, without money an idea is nothing, and if you are really willing to see your idea become reality you will have to make some sacrifices. You should be looking at 30 to 40% at least for any investor to even start looking at your business.

depends on a game, it isn't understandable from message what the game is... but 10 % it's just not fair if only you're not going to invest the same money or more, but I have my doubts that you're.

Ok to give some more updates here, I borrowed money from family to buy all neccessary equipment (servers, hosting at datacenter, ...). Game is really closing to the end now. Still have some bugs I need to fix and some other things that needs to be changed. But I am already slowly promoting it and at this very moment game has registred 5340 users and growing every day, some are spending money already but not as i expected.

But I think translating to languages I have most users from, will improve things a bit.

I think I will slowly focus just on adding missions and stuff, because from only multiplayer game I ended now with singleplayer mode too (bots, training, missions)...

Game is located on this URL: game.penguinwars.net (and http in front because forum doesn't allow me to post URLs, Facebook required).

Any comments will be apreciated

Samen I did invest alot of money I will not go into numbers here but it was really alot

It's my first game I ever tried to make and I have many ideas for future of this game and some other games I want to make.

As i said the idea is good but very risky...As you said yourself there is still a lot to be done...10% is impossible

**gjerek** · 10-24-2011 05:35 PM

Well if someone is interested mail me I can tell you how much money I invested and how much time, and we can deal from there. Tho at this moment I am not really looking for investor anymore, more like a partner that could help me spread the game. Because as stated in previous post I got money that I could buy all equipment that was needed.
