I'm currently looking for somebody to invest in a group game I'm working on.
Basically, you'd just give the group a bunch of R$ and when the game releases, you'll earn 25% of all tge group's earnings until you've made double, and maybe even triple what you spent.

You need to be fairly wealthy, however. :P

Super Zombie Survival.
Our scripter won a Hall of Fame 2014 award for his game, "The Mirror Game", which shows he has a ton of experience.

Also forgot to mention, if the game somehow wins a BLOXY, the investor(s) will be nominated to get one, too.

How are we supposed to even consider an offer without playing the game. No one will pay 1k R$..

if i were to invest in a game, 1k is a complete waste.

i would invest atleast 25k, but it must be a good game.

I'm referring to the cost to view the place, prior to making your offer.
It's paid access.

@Pintex, it's like that because people aren't supposed to enter right now. I was running ads to raise hype.

It will be free on release.

What you should do, is create an Alt account or something, then Friend the 'investors' on that account. Upload the game to the account and set it to friends only, Let your investors play the game for a bit then let them decide.

@ITBV,
That'd break the game.

If anybody decides they want to invest into the game, I will contact them.
I will, of course, have the price lowered.

I'm sorry, but "super zombie survival"? That can't be the best name you come up with, I highly doubt if someone who made quality like the mirror game wants to proceed in a project with that name. It sounds like a free model game that has been copied by jaredvaldez in 2012 and even used a clickbait title.

I'm not hating on the game as I didn't play it, but I highly recommend to change the title...

@Harry
I was thinking about changing the name, and I asked the group if they wanted to, but nobody wanted it to change.

I agree, it seems like a bad business practice to have potential investors pay to look at what they're investing in. I'm pretty sure that in the real world, a business would give free tours to potential business partners, I doubt they'd make them pay for services.

I understand you wanna keep as many people out of the game as possible, and you can't put the game on another account because, as you said, it'd break. But how about this idea: Make a personal server on the group, make a new rank titled "Potential Investors" and make it so only potential investors and up can enter. Do you think that'd still work? It'd be under the same group, so assets will be fine, or are there other things in the game that require it to have its exact place ID or something?

@above in some respects, i agree. but, no one's going to play a game they haven't heard of before, so what's the problem? to be quite frank, OP isn't a well known developer, no fans trying to break down the front door.

I'm not making them pay a whole lot. When someone's interested, I talk to them, and quickly lower the price to 25R$. That's what I did with Ultraw.

Relax, I'm not making them pay 1k...

@Brados,
I was running ads to hype people up, so I raised it to 1k.

I plan on spending 20kR$ to sponsor it, so I assure you it will, in fact, have people on it.

@OP, you have the complete wrong idea.


i'm just saying i'm not going to pay to view something, you're not going to get a flow of players when you haven't advertised and just want to show me.........
