I've come to the realization today that this Dundas Square project will probably never take off if it's under my lead. This is such a gigantic project requiring a team of game developers and designers -- not to mention marketers, contract makers, hand shakers, and other various people who wear business suits.
I think business suits itch... so it's not going to be me who negotiates video airtime.
And this certainly isn't a "spare time" kind of project -- mobile technology waits for no one. In fact, I made the incorrect prediction in my proposal that cellphones wouldn't be able to handle the processing required for this type of game -- how wrong I was.
In the past year, North America has seen cell phones start to handle photos, video, Flash, and Java. Even Sony is discontinuing their production of Clie handhelds outside of Japan due to cell phones.
I would still love to see this type of casual gaming in Toronto though. I'll probably still even continuing researching.
But if there's anyone out there who wants to take this idea and run with it, I say "do it."
