Funding Usage
$50,000 - 1 Unreal Engine 4 Blueprint Developer @25/hr for one year (rounding up) $6,000 – 1 3D Modeler/Animator @25/hr for 6 Weeks $10,000 – 1 Physical Server for an On-Premise Development Environment (cheaper than using Google cloud or AWS) $50,000 - for an Android Developer @25/hr for one year. $30,000 set aside for emergency equipment, as a just-in-case measure. $50,000 – for any additional resources. Under a one-year time frame. Potentially another Blueprint developer to assist. All are Freelance-to-Hire so I can better judge what they are capable of before Hiring them on full time. I Will eventually hire people and give them as good of Health coverage as I can. I want to be able to handle it all, so they won’t have to pay anything. All I really need is to get as far as a Crowdfund/Kickstarter in order to secure a future. Otherwise, I won’t be able to proceed. Everything quoted here is Far more than the time I was quoted to get the main aspects completed. The additional funding requested, is to secure more development time before I can release anything.

Business Plan
5 years ago, I’m not sure many people thought there’d be a Pandemic. So I’ll do My best with the following! Year one: Begin development on a Video Game, and Two Apps. Year Two: Begin alpha release of the Game and Apps to either the Client or Crowdfund Year three: Continue development on the Game and Apps, If the Apps are good, then they are Released onto the IOS/Google App Store. The game will be Pre-Released and additional funding will be secured though the Pre-Release Sale, Crowdfunding, or through additional Investors. Year Four: We will begin additional Applications or Games as we continue to grow and expand, all the while hiring whom we need to along the way. With any luck at this point, I’ll be able to open a Game Studio and/or a Film studio in Detroit, Michigan. With any additional luck, I’ll be able to Begin my expansion into Wearable Tech. Year Five: If all goes well and went well, then I’ll be a few dozen developers deep in a company that’s producing Needed applications and Video games that are visually appealing and Fun to Play. I’ll venture into Virtual Reality, thus continuing my expansion into Wearable Tech. I want to also use Microsoft’s HoloLens... because it’s REALLY Cool and would provide another means of a development Environment. I want to do all of this in Detroit. I want to put people to work, I want to teach people how to do all of this. I want to make my contribution to society in any and every way I can (Legally speaking!!!). I know the tools, I know the time, I know the cost. I can make or find a solution to Anything at this point. We are one small step from the beginning of the Golden Age of Humanity. With a slight Bump coming up in November, but we don’t like to think about that. We need Happy Thoughts!!! Good Vibes!! If that’s not enough, tell me an issue with no solution (within Reason, I won’t make weapons of war). And I can provide an initial solution, with enough “R” and a Whole lot of “D” (Research and Development), I will provide it, and with any funding, I will build it. Where I can see a Niche in the Market, I will make something for it. Or I will earn my place alongside the best. Also, I'm ready to start. I'm ready to go, I'm ready to begin the next stage of my Life.

Self Identified Competition
Microsoft Corp – They have Game Studios and make the Xbox Game Console. Electronic Arts – Video Game Conglomerate who excel at Call of Duty and Micro Transactions and the Madden Series. They like to repackage games and sell the full experience for Hundreds of Dollars. They will buy out other companies to stop them from making games that take from their Profit Margin. And pat themselves on the back with Tens of Millions they didn’t Earn though Quality. Sega – Formerly Game Consoles, now own Studios like Creative Assembly (Total war series). All have been established for 20+ years. I’m not concerned. Video games and tech are only limited by our Imagination and Perception of Reality and how things Work. Theirs is clouded by Money and the need to for more. I’ll have to be if I have any chance of Succeeding. I don’t like Nickle and Diming people for what could be achieved though better means. I don’t consider myself above others, regardless of Company titles. Mine to make sure Projects are moving, and I can contribute in some way. Theirs it to tell me what they need and I get it for them, then work together. Not choke people out of an industry, proceed to act like spoiled children and machines on Social Media, and send out Templated/Generic Responses to people with real concerns. All-in-All, what makes me different, is that that is what will get me farther than them. I’m not Greedy.
