Are we doing right it way? Please advise.
We are team of 3 currently and we are working on a demo of a game because thinking that if you make a good demo and present it to a right publisher or investor they can help us in funding. We believe our idea is very good and quiet unique. So we are giving heartful effort and working on it with passion but we don't have complete knowledge about making game or demo. We know few things as one of us is VFX artist and another one has a good knowledge of unreal engine and rest of the thinking is done by me story, characters,dialogue, map area, mechanic for now. We know few things but we have already started working on the game whit what resources available out there. But to make a good demo so we can present to a publisher or investor I believe we need better us or a better team better knowledge so we can make the demo up to that level.
First question: is this a right approach to make a demo and show it to a investor or publisher?
Second question: we are also ready to invest in our demo game but we don't have any idea how much we should invest or what should be our budget and what should we focus on mainly we it come spending money. Currently we are looking for a animated and sketch artist?
Third question: what important thing we are missing and what think we should know and we are ready to learn?
Please response this is our truly passionate project. we want to do it and we want to learn how we can make it possible and achievable to make a demo.
