    I think I may be investing $700 now, give or take 30-40 dollars

    I need the following things:
    -A bunch of images and animations ($400)
    -Some sound effects and music ($100)
    -A trailer for the game ($50)
    -Screenshots for the app ($70)
    -A GS PRO user to take out the GS splash screen ($30-$40?)
    -My own splash screen ($30)

    wow, what are you making Arton? :)

    For that price I would happily make the trailer and screenshots for you. I would even give you a $20 discount. =P

    Time is the biggest investment you can spend, it is worth the most, you dont get it back

    I disagree with this statement.

    1) You can mess with time. It's relative. If you want to speed time up, just circle around the solar system at near light speeds. Anything not moving at that speed will age much faster than you. It's basically time traveling into the future.

    2) Indefinite lifespans may not science fiction. Medical research is improving. It may be possible to stop and then reverse the aging process.

    3) Sometimes, there's nothing better to do. I don't like how people view video games as a waste of time. People need to relax. Being able to better manage stress can increase your health, lengthening your lifespan, and giving you more time.

    For example, is flossing your teeth worth the time investment? For me, yes... and I've done the calculations. Flossing can increase your lifespan, as people who floss usually live longer... up to six years longer. So, the 30-90 seconds every night, over the course of a lifetime, is still less than the time gained by flossing.

    You can get time back.

    4) With the money gained through mobile development, you can do something that improves your life. Invest a few hundred hours in game development could lead to a business... where you ultimately pay people to work for you... and then you can better enjoy your time. That's not actually getting more time, but it's maximizing the quality of it.

    I think I want to do the screnshots on my own just to keep the style of them with the game the same. When I said I needed money for the screenshots I meant that I needed to buy graphics for them. Also please don't email me asking to do my graphics for this game. I already decided which graphics I'm going to purchase and I want to stay with that. I don't really care about the price because these artworks are awesome!

    As for the trailer, I decided early on that toastkitten will make it for me.

    I hope the investment is worth it, but if not that's fine too

    I can't wait to see how it looks with my new artwork.

    A game means so much more to you if you actually put money into it.

    I don't think I'd want to use version 1.0 of this new technology, but the general idea is to improve the quality of life. Getting old is brutal. If it can be fixed, why shouldn't it? Over population? There's an entire universe out there.

    For some reason, I'm just getting the following mental image of you:
