I help my grandsons do their homework on Mondays and Wednesdays and make my own resources as I go along to suit what we are studying. I've come up with an idea for a game to help them with something and I'm wondering if it's good enough to go to market.
I know we've discussed how to publish books, get an invention off the ground etc but what about a game idea? Anybody done anything like this and what's the process?
Do I approach a games company? Are there games companies that specialise in particular games? Do I patent(?) the idea first then approach them? Do I make up a bodgie game first to show them the idea in practice.
Mine is an educational game (literacy/grammar) and would be suitable for schools and home tutors-once kids know the rules they can play amongst themselves. The general concept of the game can also be adapted into a maths game so I've actually got an idea for 2 games.
