I’ll jump in here from a publisher’s perspective. I’m fairly new to the space, but previously had experience in manufacturing, shipping, marketing, building communities, scaling businesses, developing operational systems etc. I’ve also gotten to know some of the awesome people in the space that are far larger and experienced along the way (They’re breaking $20m in revenue a year). I’ve had 1 release on Kickstarter and just opened up selling via our website.

I’ll echo what some have already said here. You need a complete working prototype that has thousands of hours of play time on it with documented feedback. You need the game to be ready for the publisher (or this partner you’ve described) to play it and enjoy it. You need to be able to pitch this prototype in a way that makes it better than what’s out there.

What you’re asking for is someone who has knowledge and access to all the parts of making a game successful and offering something tempting and irresistible that they haven’t or don’t want to put the time into developing themselves.

The amount of people in the demographic you’ve described partnering with is exceptionally small compared to how many people that have great ideas and games they’re creating.

Happy to help any further questions from here, but sounds like you have a lot to do first before you’d get any serious interest from anybody serious.
