for the link averse and/or ignorant (eg me):

So, you're a mod team with a successful mod, you've turned down the financial aid and help of Valve in the past, and now you want to make a full-fledged AAA sequel to sell in the shops? Only problem is, Unknown Worlds, team behind Natural Selection needs $50,000 from an investor to make their dreams come true:

NSII will be a full AAA retail game, it won't be a mod. On one hand it's too bad it will cost money, but on the other, it means we can make a MUCH better game then Natural Selection. We're now actively looking for a private investor or two to help us build a demo we can shop around to publishers. If any of you have any rich uncles or friends that love games and want to be involved with something very cool in the San Francisco area, please point them here and have them contact us for a business plan. We are looking for serious investors only ($50,000 U.S. minimum). We could really use your help here!
