Hi! You are right on most counts here :) We certainly need more serious artists to help polish things up! The game development is coming along very nicely at www.ecardmodels.com/forum - feel free to stop by!
On to your questions: > All that I would be asking for in return is (I'm sure others would > agree as well): > > • full credit for my participation in the development of the game; Everyone who particiapates will get on page 1 of the game instructions that will include how they helped and whatnot (typical credits kind of thing) and maybe a pic/bio in the last pages. > • rights to use any and/or all of my designs/artwork for my own > professional self-promotion; Self promotion yes, most defintely. But you cant resell it to anyone for anything else. > • being brought onboard the design team should the development get > picked up by a manufacturer/game company > (in which case everyone would receive some compensation for their > part); like my card model business I have no intention of selling this to anyone else. My main goal for this game is to promote card models to a broader segment of people, not to turn a profit (although I do hope for some, it would be silly not too) The core game will be purely mine, i will own all rights to the core game(s). This will be for marketing purposes mostly and I do hope to get this into brick and mortar stores to promote our hobby even further. I expect most profits on the game to be earned via model and race add ons. The designers of the races and/or models will get 80% of those profits which will be sold exclusively through my web shop. I plan on selling the races and models seperately so the creative writers can make earnings on race sales and designers earn on models sales. We have most of the game basics done and are actually working on tweaking rules and getting more interesting game play working. We currently have designers working on the models for the two core races. I hope to get more work done on add ons before game release so that designers/writers can earn some money relatively quickly if the game takes off! Thanks :D Chris > • and possibly a finalized copy of the fully-completed game > (as everyone participating in its development should receive). Everyone who particiaptes in designing the core games will get all core games free of charge.
