Hell yeah!
We founded with Muhweli our own little game company.
I've been blogging about the game we were developing before we made the papers.
And now we have receive a grant from Microsoft/Nokia/Helsinki university of technology
to develop it further.
The grant program is 3 years long and very deeply founded and open internationaly. So for those who have a mobile software company, don't hesitate to apply. The only string attached is a 6 month exclusivity.

We almost got a cardiac arrest as we submited our game to the publication process Sunday night and we received the grant notification monday (which we were not expecting anymore) and the thing is the grant's main condition is that the software is unpublished. So big panic, cancel publication and all is safe and warm and nice.

Also I ordered from a friend a simplistic website for our company and here is the layout he made yesterday, I think it is awesome.

I think It's soon time to start buying sponsored thread space from Teamliquid ;D!

You should take a look at the new Steam Greenlight. Might be interesting for a new developer.

Yup It is definitely a possibility once we clear up the 6 month exclusivity. I must check if it is only exclusivity for mobile platforms. Anyway, the bigger goal will be Windows 8 store, if we could be ready for the launch.

@CNSnow Thanks!

Good luck man! I'm looking into making my own start-up (not game-related) this Fall so this is pretty inspirational that you were able to get the investment from Microsoft and Nokia. Very cool!

On this game, 4.
This is pretty much the ideal number. Not too many to manage but still enough to cover most of the specialization needs.

The most important is the programmer/gfx designer pair.
Then comes the game designer and finally if you know someone with sound production skills, it will always be a plus as this is maybe the trickiest to find within the team. Sound can be outsourced and usually you will find what you need from sound databases or at least close enough to get you started.

Python is good, don't worry about the platform, the important is to get prototypes out fast and plenty
