Need a Partner/Programmer 50-50 profit share
Let me first Introduce myself, my name is Matt Bodenheimer, I am Software salesman with small company in Melbourne, FL. I am writing this letter today in hopes to hear from Entrepreneurs. I have an idea to make to write a Text Based Football game. Now the first thing you are going to tell me is “there is now money in those games matt…” That is so wrong. I have spoke to 4 Developers, and spoke to them in confidence that they would tell me their sales numbers if I put them on a chart with no order. So below you will find the 4 games and there sales not in any order.
1) OOTP2 (Out of the Park Baseball) 1500 * 30 = $45,000
2) FOF2 (Front Office Football 2) 4300 * 30 = $ 129,000
3) Championship Manager (Soccer) 1800 * 30 = $54,000
4) Baseball Mogul 2000 2400 *30 = $72,000
Now I know that surprised you, More and more text games are coming each year, People are just sick of the Big Outfits like EA Sports, not Patching there games and giving 0 customer Support. I know a little VB and am learning everyday more and more, but I am not a programmer I am a Salesman and a Marketing man. I know what sells and I know how to sell it. I am blessed in that area. I also have plans for a ultimate text based Football game, I also feel I don’t have the time in order to learn vb or v c++ good enough, before this genre of games runs dry. I have worked for Sierra with FBPRO 98 and with Microsoft with NFL Fever 2001 before it was cancelled, so I know the timetables and the length. I will not go into detail of my idea; the last time I did a company stole my idea and sold it (Tried to battle it in court, I lost L). All I will say is this. If you fit the below requirements.
1) Love Sports (This is a must you might be the best Programmer in the world but if you don’t love sports, it will hurt your in the long run)
2) A programmer with a complete knowledge of the VB language.
3) Most have time to take on a project of the magnitude (I will talk more about this with each applicant.)
4) Must be on the same page with me in terms of what we both want out of the project.
5) Must be accessible (VIA ICQ OR AIM OR SOMETHING, I am always on and since we wont be in the same room, we most communicate extremely well)
6) CANT QUIT (I understand if a life crisis comes up or we don’t get along, but if you just get tired of it that’s BS)
In return you will get this from me
1) 100% Support
2) A website for the game and message board to attract potential customers and ideas
3) 50-50 of all profit and decision making
4) I will handle the pressing of cd’s and distribution
5) I will design the game but am very willing to adjust it to make you happy
6) I will personally guarantee that you will make a profit. (I will make sure you get paid, and paid 1st)
FOR Example
You would get all the profit until X amount of dollars are made, so for instance if we only sold 500 copies (Which would be horrid) we would make a total of 15,0000 after 1500 in expenses roughly that leaves 13,500 we might say that the 1st 10,000 is yours well in the 1st 500 copies you would make 10,000 me 5,000
The reason I am explaining pay so much is cause that is what is important to you guys, I want you to get paid. Please feel free to contact me if you have any other Questions.
This is just the start of a major project I am looking to bring on a Partner/Programmer within 30 days, and start the project in 45 to 60.
Thanks,
Matt Bodenheimer
