Please Read!
This document will help you to calculate if your game idea in its current scope is viable. This is by no means a complete estimate, as it does not include any marketing, or other additional publishing costs. But it can provide you a ball park number to evaluate your project feasibility. Also, all example numbers are purely ficitional and not based on any real information

How to use:
Everything with a yellow background needs to be filled in with your data. Once filled in, the rest will be calculated automatically. The Unit calculations provide a heat map and show you from green to red the risk level of your current idea.
Make sure to read the notes by hovering over the different cells to understand more about the entry.
