Hello you guys know me as Cinmay in the community. I am working for a small 
multimedia company in Bergen city, Norway.

We are thinking about making an mmorpg. Currently we are working on a 
prototype/test project. The purpose is to show management and the investors 
that we are capable of making something that moves. As all investors they 
respond to movement, colors and shiny things ;)

We will not launch this project if we don't get enough money from our 
investors. I want to make it a serious project with realistic targets.

We are not aiming for “world of warcraft” but more in the mid range. 

The first draft for the story, setting and art concept is ready but I can't 
shear it with you yet. Sorry :(

I would like your input.

I know it is very difficult to give input when you don't know anything about 
the concept and features of the game but I am only looking for a rough 
estimate. A number to give to our investors to give them an idea about what 
the cost might be without doing a pre project, That comes later. 

We will use Crystalspace and Blender to develop the game.

I purposely didn't include any $ numbers. I am sorry but I can't give to many 
details away this early in the project.

We have a small development department in India and have some experience 
working with them. 

So far this is what I believe is the people we will need:

People:
Norway
Project leader 1
Art director 1
Lead Graphics designer 1 (Must be experienced with blender)
Lead Programmer 1 (Must be experienced with cs)
Game writers 2
Quality assurance 1
Server setup and maintenance 1 
Total 8

India
Coordinator 1 (a person from Norway who will handle communication)
Office administrator 1
Programmers 5 (inexperienced)
Graphics designers 8 (inexperienced)
Total 14
A huge problem is getting experience people in India so they will have to be 
trained.

Project total 22

This is the best we can hope for. We will probably not get enough money to 
afford all thees people. 

Additional costs are administration, music, sound effects, servers, marketing, 
misc (computers etc) 

Did I miss anything?
