fund raising Thread - Abyssal Games

for information on were to go to help use or to spread the word about our fund raising project go here: Igg.me

we are trying to raise enough money to make it feasible to keep the company going for at least 1 year...
the fund also takes into account all the expenses we will have in starting the company, includes:
- renting or buying a building or property any construction/upgrade costs
- hiring new talent to work on our games such as programmers/animators_riggers/digital modelers/digital 2D artists_conceptual/level designers_item placement/plus any other staffing we will need such as janitors and other maintenance (gardener if necessary) positions
-software and hardware needed for the offices plus furniture and appliances including vending machines and other amenities that are necessary
- paying employees over the course of a year at a salary 20k or more
- taxes/logo (possibly have it done in house)/property taxes if buying a office or property/book keeping/mail post FedEx./and other ongoing bills
- moving the people we higher to the HQ office area if necessary... company vehicle if necessary (not likely tho)
- paying for and maintaining a website
- utilities/water/sewage/refuse_garbage removal/rent if we are renting

well you mostly get the idea i hope it is a huge undertaking, i am shooting for a much higher fund pool that minimal trying to make sure that we can become a truly successful company... i have also taken into account that for us since we are going to try to make our games free we will need other financial sources than would normally be expected, this will give us time to acquire these needed assets for the continuation of the a quazi non-profit company.

all of this will mean that we will indeed be able to create free games for the masses, which is something that needs to be reintroduced to the gaming industry as a whole... to remind the industry were it came from, and that games aren't just about making money but about telling good stories in a interactive and personal way for those who play the game. i would hate to have to charge anything for the games we will produce, but it cannot be done without your help.

thank you for your time and reading this.
