It's just a lot of the work on your site looks so cool...I think that hand reaching up reminded me a lot of the one in Lineage II. Plus some of the dark elf stuff.

You can deal with people in the US without having an office there.

To be honest. The cost of living where you are at is probably lower. In this day and age it doesn't really matter where you are at. You can do almost everything online. So, unless the cost of living is less in the states, do not open an office here.You can deal with people in the US without having an office there.

I realize that opening of the office demands a lot of money .But people from North America have low trust for those whom they can not meet in person. It is not so easy to deal with people worldwide staying in Saint Petersburg , Russia.

Well, make sure you choose an area with a low cost of living then.

What area would you recommend by the way?

Perhaps Michigan or Ohio would be a good idea. but that is East coast, and most of the action in this business happens on the West Coast.

I am Candaian. I can't really offer you advice, as I don't really know. Don't move to a big city. And definately not California. Perhaps Michigan or Ohio would be a good idea. but that is East coast, and most of the action in this business happens on the West Coast.

I happily have had contract work from all over the world, but maybe I am more trusting than most or the minority.

I live in the mid-west and I don't think c.o.f. is too bad. I recently took a trip to cali, and it blew me away at how much simple things can cost. I don't live to far from Wichita, Ks. It is known as the Air Capital of the World. We are in the center of the US, and realestate is a lot cheaper than on the cost. Plus there are schools close by that teach CG and have hungry students. :P

As far as big cities go, Phoenix, AZ is probably the lowest cost of living big city. Not many game companies here either. The downfall is you have to live with the heat ;)
