Hello,
The Swiss foundation for culture propose help to finance swiss games. While Glob2 does not exactly fit inside the model (classical business model), I think that if we try we might still receive some money. The problem is that 51% of work-force should be in Switzerland. This might not be too difficult, as Luc-Olivier and I have invested a lot of time on this project.
So here are some questions:
- Leo, how much money have you invested on glob2 until now (to help building the budget)?
- What do we need to complete the game? (i.e. what do we still need, is it artwork/etc. ?)
- I am thinking about alternative way to have glob2 compatible with the rules of the financing framework. For instance, we could imagine a "commercial" derivative of glob2, focusing on the question of resource saving. This derivative could share the (open-source) codebase with glob2 but provide specific graphics, maps, and campaigns. I think that this way we have a better chance of getting the money.
What do you think?
Kind regards,
Stéphane

Swiss Games wanted - The competition is open!
Let's play together! For once, we're not looking for the latest
animated films - no, today we're opening a competition for the
development of computer games. For a long time, Fantoche has been
interested in the crossover between animation and game design. Now,
together with our partners, we have a fantastic opportunity to promote
the development of games of high artistic quality.
In collaboration with the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia, the Federal
Office of Culture and the SUISA Foundation for Music, Fantoche is
launching the first call for proposals for Swiss computer games. The
*"Call for Projects: Swiss Games"* is now open, and you can submit your
games using the application tool at *www.fantoche.ch
<http://www.fantoche.ch//2010/default-n112-sE.html>*. The *deadline for
submissions is 15 March 2011* - a playable prototype of your game must
be ready by that date.
The scheme seeks to promote unreleased projects of a high standard, with
artistic merit and strong distribution potential. We are interested in
creations of any kind from the field of computer games that are bold
enough to take a chance on innovative game concepts, tell interactive
stories, and use jaw-dropping graphics to push open doors to new visual
worlds. And if creative people from a variety of different disciplines
team up to break new ground together - all the better.
The "Call for Projects: Swiss Games" is aimed exclusively at games
developers in or from Switzerland. A jury of international experts will
award grants of up to CHF 50,000.- per project - for this first award of
grants in 2011, a framework credit arrangement for a total of CHF
300,000.- will be available. The SUISA Foundation for Music is donating
an additional CHF 15,000.- as a prize for the best original sound
composition.
The Swiss games which are awarded grants will be presented to the public
in a special exhibition at Fantoche 2011. Further details on the *"Call
for Projects: Swiss Games"*, information on the eligibility
requirements, and the competition rules can be found at *www.fantoche.ch
<http://www.fantoche.ch/2010/communiques-n142-sE.html>*.
We look forward to receiving your entries!
