Re: creativity
That is not a very savvy business plan.
My immediate concerns are:
1) The work involved between Server Side / Client Side / Graphics is not an equal split, so how are you going to split the revenue?
2) Who will manage the money?
2a) How much of the revenue goes towards expenses?
2b) How much of the revenue is re-invested?
3) Who will pay for all the expenses upfront?
4) Are you going to register as a LLC?
5) Are you going to work remotely or locally?
The list goes on.
My point is, if your serious about forming a team, you need to spend a lot of time to establish the business side of things first. I personally have tried this many times as a young programmer and they never ended well for many different reasons. It basically comes down to outlining exactly how you want to run the team, defining exactly the responsibilities for everyone involved, and what they can expect in return -- and what not to expect if there is no return.
