Ive been working on a video game idea for a while, how would i..................

How would i present this idea to a company. For 5 years ive been jotting down notes for game ideas(just for fun). And as its piled up i have an entire world, with a great plotline and a very interesting idea. Im just wondering how i would go about presenting this to a company. And all of the technical stuff. Its just a dream i know, but i really hope one day this game could be made.

I'm sorry but you and everyone that plays videogames have a good idea for a videogame..but it doesn't work like that... game designers don't even work on games they want too... The Big Wigs call the shots as to what they want to work on, you won't be able to just walk into a company and give them your idea and bam its done, the only advice i can give you is, work your way up in the game industry doing something, being the video game idea person doesn't exist.. so if you really want this, you'll make it happen

If you are really serious, you should patent the idea before someone steals it away from you. Then present it to companies.GAMESHARQ

somebody get microsoft on the line...

:P

Im very serious. If told my idea to a couple close friends and they think it would be amazing. How would i patent it?

Create your own games development company. Thats probably the easiest way.Big_Bad_Sad

You probably have to get a job working at a video game company, and in order to do that, you need training in a related field, whether it be graphics, animation, programming, etc.

If you are serious about your idea, you might pursue your dream and after a lot of hard work and determination, one day see it realized.

Keep working on your idea. Don't stop now.

wasnt the creator of ALien Hominid just some guy who sent it into newgrounds?ProtestTheJOEL

Well, they say the way to sucess starts with an idea... or something like that. I'm no professional advisor in this matter, but maybe go to college and get a degree in game design?

EDIT: I know how you feel, by the way. I have an AWESOME idea for a Metroid game, but, alas,I have to wait 5 years till' I go to college...

somebody get microsoft on the line...

You'd have to try to set up a meeting with whoever handles that stuff at a game company. In the very unlikely chance they agree to see you, you would pitch your idea and they'd most likely reject it, and then you'd desperately try to get more people to hear your pitch, and the cycle that ends with you in gay porn begins.

I'd copyright the idea first before shopping it to companies. Otherwise they will steal it mercilessly. Otherwise just start contacting PR departments.Vandalvideo

Wrong, look at games like Haze and lair, they had brilliant concepts but piss-poor execution.

Yeah try to make a flash version of the game.
