musician, artist or "ideas person" is a sample of their
work, in whatever stage of completion it is. Programmers:
Don't worry if the graphics in your game look like they
came from a spectrum: We look for the potential in a game,
for example, Scorpius (that shoot-em-up to end all
shoot-em-ups possibly) started life as a 16 colour
vertically scrolling game. Look at it now through the
addition of a graphic artist and a bit of help from the
publishers. Your work could do the same - we have all the
right contacts to help you develop your work.

If you are a programmer who has the ability to write a
game, but no ideas to use then write to us anyway - we
will be able to come up with something!

Of course, all of the above (where relevant) applies to
utilities and any other type of software - all we require
is an example or description of what it does and we will
be in touch from there.

Software 42 offers a very high royalty rate - 25% of the
retail price, which is about 60% of the profits - higher
than any other company may offer. Watch out for bogus
offers of "up to xx% royalties" - notice the "up to"? Also
the xx% may be xx% of the profits, not the retail price -
make sure you know what you are getting for your work."
