If I was running a game studio (humor)...
Today I had a conversation with a coworker about how I could afford to run a game studio if I were to try to make one today. My primary plan of action would be to find some extremely low cost-of-living areas in which to settle, like Superior, WI. Apparently there are 2000 square foot houses there for less than half a million dollars. In fact, they seem to cost about $200,000 there.
That doesn’t really cover the cost of an office, so for that I think I’d have to go with pre-fab wooden sheds. Wood burning stoves would provide much-needed heat, and a 40-year-old gas generator would power the company laptop, assuming the generator does not explode.
I’ve always referred to my future game studio as Trainwreck Interactive, because I love trains, and I find the idea of willingly interacting with a crashing train amusing. This idea of a game company in WI got me thinking – what would a time reporting sheet look like for such a company?
