What is ScareCrow Digital?
ScareCrow Digital is a company that aims at creating great video games for consoles or PC. We want to be accessible to the public. We'd like to provide as much work experience as possible to newcomers by associating with different schools teaching 3D Animation, Computer Graphics and Computer Programming.
Breaking into the video game industry is not easy, but we believe that the right idea at the right place and at the right time could be all it takes to generate a substantial success.
What shall we do with the raised funds?
First, it will allow us to repay the licenses we acquired. In order to start development on our first game, we had to purchase some licenses, and some of those were pretty expensive. We will use a part of the money to repay ourselves for those licenses, and to acquire more.
Secondly, we all know that life is expensive. Because we just started with ScareCrow, we're not making any money from this venture yet. So, we have to work full-time at other places. A part of the raised funds will allow us to work a little bit less, but still have enough money to survive. This will allow us to put more time in our company and develop our games faster.
Last but not the least, we also have to buy powerful computers. Because we are five associates, that means five PCs, ending up into quite a sum.
About RocketHub
1. RocketHub is not an investment or charity. It is an exchange: funds from fans for rewards from me.
2. It's an All & More funding mechanism: if I don't reach my financial goal I get to keep what I raise. But if I do reach my goal, I get access to exciting opportunities.
