Do you have any examples or readings about this that isn't spam from DeVry? Would like to know more.

I hope you aren't thinking about trying to do this on your own. One of the reasons software engineers can command such a high salary is because we know the right questions to ask. You don't.

This is going to sound harsh, but I'm just being honest. Your business plan, market research, and documentation? It's all firewood. You did it all without any engineering knowledge. You can't credibly claim that your business plan accurately reports costs and feasible deadlines, or that your game is even possible to create (especially given your budget constraints.) As far as an experienced investor is concerned you have accomplished nothing.

It's like you have a business plan to build a skyscraper, but you've never run it by an architect. Investing in your business would be amazingly stupid.
