GAMEPREZ is a self-funded cloud gaming platform for a free-to-play HTML5 game sharing & ad publishing site.
My cofounder has recently become temporarily unavailable (doh) and this has put a strain on my ability to fund the developer contracts. Up until now, we have been splitting the costs 50/50 and as time progresses I have been engaging in more and more of the coding myself, reducing our overhead costs as I become more able to handle more of the development personally through diligent efforts.
I'm now looking for another cofounder to join our team and work for equity as well as make small periodic monetary investments by splitting development contracts costs with me in exchange for a significant company ownership percentage.
GAMEPREZ is like youtube for browser games, but with some additional user roles/features:
1. Gamers compete for high scores on skill-games to earn cash & other real-world rewards on free-to-play games (no charges for Gamers)
2. Promoters can upload their ads to be shown whenever Gamers assign scores to competitions - similar to fb "Offers" with a competitive aspect
3. Revenue sharing for Developers that upload high-traffic games, similar to youtube payments for high-traffic video providers
There are many other undeveloped aspects of this concept that I don't have time to discuss here, which go beyond "entertaining" games and get into other applications of "games" i.e. research/surveys, recruiting, crowdsourcing, and education (to name a few). Games are interactive visualizations in essence, and my vision is that their applicability will eventually expand to serve more than entertainment purposes, as has already been shown with scientific "games" such as "http://fold.it".
