[Sq7-devel] Outside Contracter?

[Adrik T. <adr...@ho...>]

Do you think Sierra will accept an outside contracter to make SQ7. They 
would use their own capital, and for payment require 30% of all profits made 
from the game. The reason I ask is because there is the potential that my 
company(United Space Empires Fans www.usefans.net the domain isn't working 
until tommorrow I'm afraid) can take the job on. Although we originally 
planned only to try to take the job of outpost 3 development since the 
former contracter StellarWave Studios went under.

We are currently working on several projects based on the Space Empires 
series of strategy games created by Malfador Machinations( www.malfador.com 
). Among them:
1) Heavily modified versions of the Space Empires games available for 
purchase from our sitre with a 70% royalty fee being kicked back to MM
2) Global Empires - a planetary-based 4x(eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, 
Xterminate) strategy game based on the Space Empires series

We are also working on several private projects of our own among them:
1) A bug-free Emulation Server for Ultima Online
2) A bug-free Emulation Server for Everquest
3) A space strategy boardgame which should be available from our website 
within a year(after negotiations with our potential producer are complete)
4) An online Roleplay gaming community for the Space Empires series.

Anyhow, let me hear your thouhts. I don't know if Sierra would be willing to 
allow us to contract the game for them. Especially since non of our projects 
are official, and some border on illegal(emulation servers).
