Ok, your next question: who is handling the marketing / publishing?
I've talked to several digital agencies and haven't settled on one yet. The front runner is a company called Game Marketing Genie, but the deal is not signed. Every agency I've spoken to has told me: wait until you have a game developed, let us evaluate that game, and then we'll create a marketing plan for you. All of them have quoted budget numbers that I can do.
Again, this is new for me, so I've gotten help. Rob Hassett has been incredible helping me with the legal documents. Rob is the General Counsel for the Georgia Game Developer's Association. Andrew Greenberg, president of the GGDA, has also been helping me. There have been others, especially Karen Williams at hiccup interactive, Kimberly M. Starks at Blue Scorpion Reputation Management, Joe Cassavaugh, and many others have been super-helpful as well. But be clear: these and the other who are helping me are really great, and their help has been invaluable, and only the mistakes are mine.
Ok, hope this helps. Please hmu with any other questions you may have. Thank you!!!
All the best,
Marcus
