Re: Getting a game funded?
Yeah these days you’ll never get full project funding without a prototype. This goes for everyone, including established industry names. However, depending on where you’re based, it may be possible to get funding to build a prototype and develop the best pitch. We’ve done that a couple of times in the UK. For this, the… -
Getting a game funded?
Hi!During the past 2 to 3 years, I've started working in the games industry, I've started to know more about pipelines and processes and got to know a little bit of everything that is about making a game.I'd like to use this knowledge one day to come up with my own game.

Re: Getting a game funded?
So, I've been through this process many times, and chances are that even with a demo you won't get funded.

Re: Getting a game funded?
it's likely not enough. just bein an "idea guy" doesnt get you money, well unless you can sell REALLY well. otherwise you have to show that you are able to pull it off. You certainly should show something that can reflect the final output. anything thats prototype clearly has to show its prototype. But it should sell the…
