General / Off-Topic A idea about crowdfunding video games

[CMDR-ss47ply]

Now to be fair I only have this Idea no details on how it could work Im not that guy I just have crazy ideas
So that being said what if as a crowd we funded a pool of money and then interviewed devolopers who we would chose in the end to make us our dream game.

You would have as many different versions of the dream game as you had crowdfunders.

I belive it would have to be a group effort perhaps amember of the group is an author ect the idea could grow or die be for a bad game is made

Maybe you haven't heard the phrase 'Design by Committee'. It's generally not seen as a term of endearment

You can always test how your idea would work - pick more-or-less any thread in DD and get it brought to an agreed conclusion. Report back when you've done it - then having test-driven the principal we can move on to the kickstarting phase

yes that would be the norm but what if say the group just had a pile of money a idea for a game how do you advertise it

...isn't that called Star Citizen?

...isn't that called Star Citizen?

No - it's even worse - it's giving a bunch of money to someone who doesn't even pretend to have a plan.

 

[CMDR-ss47ply]

no star citizen was more Chris roberts begging gamers for money this would be games begging a devloper to make a game

Why restrict the idea to just games? How about starting a restaurant where everyone goes in, hands over their money, and then has an argument over what they think the chef should cook for them?

Yes and after the meal, we would all go to the cinema where we would give all our money ...
