Where can a guy with a video game idea but no programming exoerience go to get published?

I have an idea for a series of card games. Most card game submission reviewers say they are great games, but are a marketing nightmare.

So I went to work on rhe marketing and thought the following....

My card games either make sense as a new harder version of a card game, or have no idea of what's going on. If that's the case, why don"t we offer the regular card games they are based on for free.

So how do you make money on card games if you give it for free? By placing commercials in between natural breaks between hands.

Then you unlock the new card game variations with new 3 dimensional cards, and other card sets.

Then if you do good in those, you get 2 rewards. One is a physical version of the card deck.

Second is that part of the ads pay for free to enter card game tournaments, both with the standard deck, and for those who earn it, alternate decks. The winners could win an early copy of an Xbox Gen 6 system or Xbux to spend on games and DLC.

This does 2 things. One it gives a free way to earn Achiement points and for experts only DLC. And second. Because we prescreened the fact we give the new deck to card game experts, the one category that almost unilaterally love my game, yet they are, we'll probably get near Universal praise for this.

Does Xbox allow for free advergaming with fourth party sponsors that are not "hard wired" to the content?

Does it really matter whether Xbox gets their licensing percentage off of ROM sales or off of advertising revenue?

Is there an Indie programmer who likes both my game variations and the marketing scheme enough to want to be a partner in this?

Can Xbox have a list of Microsoft owned, third party and indie studios that are actively looking for new ideas to implement into games?

You'll find virtually no one takes unsolicited ideas for fear of being sued.

You're gonna have to assemble your own team to make your game, or you're going to have to get into a position where you have an agent or a job that allows you to submit ideas within the existing structures

If you visit the Forums for unity or unreal, you will find developer is looking for projects

Hi there Zachman101,

Thanks for the reply. Xbox One Backwards Compatibility is enable by the DLC Publishers. The publishers will have to give the green light to get their titles into the program. The video games that are already part of remastered collections or will be re-released
in the future may not be on the Xbox One Backwards Compatibility. I recommend reaching out to the game publisher for more information.

Hope this helps.

Miscoroft has the XNA program, where indie developers can publish their games

You could also publish the game on XBLA, but you need a publisher for this.

They can also publish the game to the creator program and get it out there and onto the xbox
