10K and thinking of hiring 15-25 people :) He's just having a laugh - you're all reacting like he could be serious.

in the country where i live, a systems programmer earns about $3200 a year!!! And that's like the top flight programmers. The average income for an office worker is about $1800 a year.

DataBandit, where do you live? Man! Maybe we can do a little business in about 6 months to a year! I like those numbers! Sounds Like Outsource Heaven! I'm in a start-up that is ready to pop soon, there's a good chance I will be looking to assemble a much larger team. India, perhaps? Sure could use the contact person on that! I'm serious, it may be to our mutual benefit to keep in touch. I have multiple close connections in China, so that's another route. I aim to create a lot of jobs before I am through.

I live in Bangladesh.

Databandit, can you send me an E-mail please? My company might be interested in working with you. My E-mail is alex@xinginteractive.nl.

Well, right now, things are becoming really bad. We have put the company up for registration and now, the people who promised the capital are not giving it. Me and my partner are putting up our own money to get a domain and server. We will publish games online and not normal publishing, we will only put the games on our server and people can download the demo or buy and download the real version. We will not charge people to put up games on our server. However, we will be taking 10% of the money made. Once we have a substantial amount of capital, we will fund games.

PS: Please don't flame because my partner and I are in some serious financial problems here, and I want to have a so I can quit my job.

How much have you budgeted for marketing?

Well,
the guy offered a capital of $50,000 actually, and we had 5,000 just for marketing. but now, as I said above, it's gone

*shrugs* that is unfortunate to hear, however without a solid business plan it is probably the best idea for them to hold on to their investments for a little bit.

Seems like a possibly viable business plan to me.
