Setting up an online flying sim
« on: September 15, 2006, 10:59:41 AM »
Thought I'd  ask as you lot as you guys probably know very game out there..;)

What exactly do you need to get started? Some software guys, a few servers and some marketing I take it.
Or maybe it's best to buy into an existing company ? I've noticed the rise in these types of games and if you do it right then there would be huge potential for any well run business.
I'm in Investment/Aquisition mode right now and I'm curious to learn more about this.

I think you need some sort of patent.

Was looking at doing something with Ubisoft, but it would be more beneficial for me to try and get involved with an up and coming Company that  has the right ideas.
If anyone knows anybody working on any projects that you think would be of interest to me then feel free to PM me or leave a message here.
Thanks.

Cool idea Hawco,  cant get Hitech to setup the game you like so go make your own game. :aok
Should be no problem,  just pickup a couple of used Dell servers on ebay and setup your garage as the office.  Then get your buddy thats good with tools and run some cat 5 into the garage.  Maybe you can get your mom to make some lemonade too :aok  Yes sir , you'll be up and running in no time.  all you'll need after that is a couple of million dollars, somebody to code your software, couple of somebodys to do your artwork, setup the ballistics and flight models, research, and about two years of work.  
We'll be waiting :aok

Dude,


Its so easy.  Just buy Warbirds.  20 or so clients plus a half bellybutton game would sell for about 1 million.


You've got to be like 12 years old or something...........

If you're serious, I would check with Oleg since he is thinking of doing something like Aces High using new BoB engine.
