TALE OF TALES game demo project

BUDGET

The main cost of the project is the time we need for the development of the demo. We have calculated the absolute minimum that we need to survive during the development period, being 160 Euros per day per person. Other requirements of development include an extra workstation PC and motion capturing. We did not add to this bill, the preliminary work that had already been done before April 1, 2002.
The Jan van Eyck Academy in Maastricht has accepted our proposal, so the project is now taking place under their wings. The Flemish Government and VIZO are also sponsoring the project. And Entropy8Zuper!, our own web design initiative, is currently supporting the project as well. The latter sadly cuts into our time, making the project, in effect, more expensive.
Thirty percent of the budget has not yet been covered. Please contact us if you have any information concerning additional funding: corporate@tale-of-tales.com.
This budget has been updated to correspond with the new schedule (January 2003).
