Wish I had funding.. :( So, I have to do what I can afford out of my
own pocket for now.

My Talent pool is myself and one other programmer. Its really hard
to find programmers willing to work on a project without funding.
The best that I can do for now, Is offer a percentage of the company
if we ever get the project done.

Our time line is when ever we get it done, But I should like to see
a working system in about 2 or 3 years from now.  Its hard and slow
work when you can only work on the project part time, weekends and a
few hours in the evenings.

I'm or I should say.. The 6 of us that makes up our company are the
designers.. We've been working on the design for years now.. and
just now starting to code parts of the game.

Thanks,
