Seeking Angel Investors for a competitive online club ice hockey video game. Let's challenge EA's Goliath!
Greetings!
Are you a hockey fan? Do you love video games? Are you sick of EA's anti-consumer practices? Do you want to make a lot of money while also sustaining a healthy, collaborative, and engaging consumer base? If you said yes to any of those, then I have the perfect opportunity for you!
I am seeking Angel Investors to join me in the creation of a dream video game project. I have designed a Business Plan for a competitive ice hockey video game with the intent to challenge Electronic Art's NHL series. My business plan includes long-term key features, a mission plan, market analysis, and a sustainability plan. My business plan currently sits at about 50 pages.The game’s aim is to focus on a hyper-competitive and authentic hockey experience similar to EA NHL’s EASHL mode; however, it will not be a clone, rather a challenger to EA’s series. The game will feature 3 vs. 3 and/or 6 vs. 6 club matches. There will be significant customization of the skater, the club ("clan"), and “locker room” setting. Key mechanics will be implemented so that it rewards high levels of skill and team-based play, while also having low barriers of entry for people interested in the game (and hockey for that matter).The game will be released initially on PC with consideration of console. There will be no ties to the NHL given licensing agreements, and certain physics may not initially match that of a multi-billion dollar company. Given no ties to the NHL or its affiliates/partnerships, it allows the design team to flex their creative muscles about what can be created in terms of branding and logo designs!The goal is to develop something that is:
- Fun (must be aesthetically and mechanically pleasing at all times while not being simply a “novelty”.
- Competitive (game must focus on team-work, have balanced mechanics, have team-based rankings, and include statistic-driven satisfaction)
- Customizable (Players will be able to customize their skater that fits their personality, including skater aesthetic, locker room aesthetics, equipment aesthetics, on-ice goal scoring aesthetics, etc).
I do have a working title which I'm currently keeping under wraps publicly. I have drafted a Mission Statement to communicate our game's mission:*[CODE NAME - PROJECT BREAKAWAY] is an online virtual ice hockey video game developed by [PROJECT BREAKAWAY STUDIO TITLE] that fosters a team-first competitive environment by providing a mechanically polished and aesthetically rich gameplay experience. [CODE NAME - PROJECT BREAKAWAY] operates with a consumer-first mentality through active community engagement, a value-friendly cost structure, promoting the unique identify of the player, and champions a fully inclusive environment. [CODE NAME - PROJECT BREAKAWAY] plans to become the premiere competitive hockey video game franchise by challenging anti-consumer practices from corporate goliaths within the market.*Background on me:· I’m in my 30s, married, have a house and a good job that pays well. I’m a claims manager for an insurance company. I have experience in coaching, investigations, interviewing, presentation collaboration, and project management. I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration with a focus in Sports Management.· I enjoy traveling with my wife and gaming on my down time. I play a variety of games such as Halo, Hell Let Loose, Battlefield, and Call of Duty. I’m an avid hockey fan (Go Pens!) and I played the NHL series from 2008 to 2021, as once they started creating the new-gen versions I decided it was no longer worth the $60/year investment + buying a new system just for playing Chel. My buddies and I miss those nights and experiences dearly though, but we want a game that fits our needs, which is what Project Breakaway aims to do.If you have an interest in joining our team or collaborating on any type of potential investment, please message me for more details. Thank you for your time!
