Nano Nick and First Thought
I founded a start-up in video game development. Our primary goal was to design and build a game development platform, that would allow game development across platforms, easily and rapidly without loosing valuable assets built over time. We also worked on game titles. The company folded under the pressure of financing.
Taken from the Executive summary of the Business Plan
First Thought is a one-and-a-half year-old company which makes both development tools and content for electronic games. It has been seed funded and is now looking for a … round of funding to bring it to cash positive. The use of proceeds will be to develop six to eight micro-games, an epic role-playing adventure, and a suite of development tools.
The Gamelets serve as a short turnaround, technical and marketing test-bed which provides an initial income stream as well. The epic game is built around a character called Nano Nick, designed by First Thought and critiqued by industry professionals. The development environment, known as FARM, is a simulation, graphics and I/O engine with a visual and scripting interface.
By being both a technology and content company, First Thought’s technology team enjoys the fruits of immediate feedback from its artists. Concurrently, artistic content benefits from early access to unique tools. The company will market both the stories and the tools, making it less of a “hits” business and allowing it to maximize market opportunities. Break-even is planned for thirty months out, but could be considerably sooner.
Nano Nick!
