In regards to the proposal, we are hard at work on putting the finishing touches on the full proposal. An abridged version will be sent over to Sega initially with overall design concepts. With any luck, we are shooting to present the full version of the proposal with hardware and software prototypes in person at Sega in Tokyo. If you aren’t part of the Facebook group, please join! We have been using the Facebook group as a think tank of sorts, utilizing polls and user feedback to drive design iterations. Please join and make your ideas heard! We are aiming to have the proposal finished in the next few weeks.
Once the proposal is finished, we will be sending it to Sega for initial review. As said in multiple interviews, our team has made contact with Sega. We have spoken with various influencers at Sega and have had one on one conversations with an executive at Sega Sammy. Those who we have spoken to are very receptive to our project. While many err on the side of caution due to the nature of the project, we have still been invited to send our proposal over to have it personally reviewed and get it in front of all of the decision-makers at Sega.
Stay tuned and keep the dream alive!
