This meeting can be in person or on the phone. I need someone who has created or been part of the creation of successful games and who understands both the technical and business issues involved in game design. Also, the person should be creative, visually inspired, and able to build on my vision and run with it.
If we can come to a common vision, and if the application is feasible, I would want the person to be able to take the lead in creating a prototype game that I would be able to present to potential clients.
