Project 2015

I've had a few meetings about the Imagine Cup game. It seems like the best option would be to develop the game under some sort of non-profit. We would finish the game by trying to get grants or just using free time, then launch it on something like Xbox live or as a pure PC game. Take the "profits" and turn them back seed funding to continue the work on the game and to build other humanitarian interest games. That is the plan.

We need to create a development plan to use on any grant requests so we can show what any grant money would be used for. This is also necessary in developing the game. I have started on this and a business plan for the game. My regular work is coming into a dead line so I think the next month will be insane so I don't think I will get very far on this. I'll continue to work on it when I have extra time.

Imagine Cup Results

We learned that we did not make the finals for the Imagine Cup. Most of the games that were selected seemed to whitewash the Millenium goals and I do think that our game, given more development, could help make a big difference in people's lives.

My goal is to somehow continue development on it and finish creating a training tool for people planning on working in impoverished communities. I'm not sure how to get that done, but I've planned a couple of meetings with some of my contacts in the game industry to see what people have to say.
