Team Name: Ronime Studios
Ronime Studios is a registered game design company located in northern Oregon, USA. We are a small independent company who's goals are to create games the way they should be. Fun and good. We built this project based on the advice we have received from developers at Blizzard, along with a voice producer from Viz.
Project name: dOLLhOUSe
The current project we are working to finish is called dOLLhOUSe, a third-person survival-horror game taking place in the small town of Newport, Oregon.
Brief description:
Upon the advice we had received from both Blizzard and Viz, we put some of our larger projects on hold to make a much smaller game, in which a horror idea of mine was put to use. DH is a project using the elements we have come to love in the Silent Hill, Siren, and Fatal Frame series, adding new aspects, horror, and gameplay features.
Target aim:
We plan on creating this game for both the Xbox360 and the PC. We currently are licensed to create games on the PC, and upon further game development, we plan on getting the license for the 360. Our current engine (Torque Game Engine Advanced) will allow an easy port to the 360 console.
Compensation:
Due to the source of funding being from my own pocket, all payment will be done as a percentage of revenue. 50% of profits will go back into the company for future projects/upgrading equipment/building a full studio. Of the remaining 50% the profits will be split among all staff according to how much work they have done, with factors applied such as difficulty, quality, and efficiency.
