Description:
Capitalist Games is in the business of business games. Our flagship product is an online, free-to-play, browser-based game called Tycoon Online. It is a browser-based MMO (massively multiplayer online game) which requires no downloads to play.
Tycoon Online currently has about 15,000 active players, and earns revenue from a premium membership which a small percentage of players purchase. The game is roughly break-even at this point in terms of profitability.
I am working on the design of a new game which will be designed to scale to over 1 million players. It will use a virtual goods revenue model which has been much more successful in the industry, and will incorporate many new gameplay elements to make the game appeal to a wider audience, have more compelling and engaging gameplay, and have strong incentives for players to recruit friends to play.
I have already put together the expertise to design and develop the core gameplay. I am in need of business partners who can help with web and graphic design, marketing, SEO, and funding.
