Its simple make a good game that Im interested in and I will buy it. Thats how I 'fund' game developers.
But come to think of it in some ways with unfinished products being sold we are putting money up front  |
also true...
i think it could get interesting, you would obviously have to get a lawyer to represent the fan base as a group of investors.
there would need to be some sort of contract which states
1. you have X years to produce the game and distribute it
2. if the game dies on the operating table we get 100% refund of our cash investment back
(number 2 would serve as incentive for them to get the game produced... as it would cost them much more to table the game or to shut the project down than it would be to simply finish it.
