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
Where has all my time gone?
My work got really busy and I've been mentoring a team creating a game for the Imagine Cup. Never expected it, but all those trips to Africa doing community development have been helpful in building a game that is designed to help work on the United Nations Millennium Development Goals.
The team is in the final week (two days) of development and everything is coming along. I think this is one of the most interesting projects I have worked on in years and really follows closely the work in Africa I (my wife and a lot of good friends) have been involved with over the past five years. When we started the team we were looking at a different contest and the Imagine Cup came along after that contest was delayed. Very cool to see the fruits of many years of labor multiplying into completely new avenues of opportunity.
The game is called Project 2015. The Project 2015 website is currently a month and a half old and used for the first submission. I expect it to be updated in the next week. Stay tuned.
