Getting Funding? and Supporting Game Projects

by Skye Gellmann · in General Discussion · 08/07/2005 (5:34 am) · 0 replies

I've been working on my game Blindscape out of a pocket money budget, and it's become apparent that I'm either gonna have to get a job, or get some funding to be able to afford it's completion. Because it is abit of an arty experimental project we feel we could be eligable for funding, but the work involved in applying doesn't seem worth my time, because i could be ACTUALLY making the game insted!

Things I need money for:
''''''''''''''''''''
*Paying Voice Actors Outright
*Buying Sound Libraries
*Any Legal Fee's
*Printing Flyers and Cards
*Misc Promo Stuff
*Websites and Paraphernalia

Not heeeps, but the game wont be very good without any of it.

Does anybody have any advice one which type of funding bodies to approach, or other ways to make revenue?

How have people gotten money to support their games in the past????
