Comment on A Game Dev Incubator (commune?) in the US?

What area do you live? Maybe start it off small and work up if it works out. Do you know what's it like to have roommates? It's a challenge to live with a diverse background of people. It sounds great if you lived in the Silicon Valley area, if not it maybe hard for others to just go to a random city with no benefit from the city.

The house is in the country in West Virginia, so no city whatsoever :)

Silicon valley would be ideal, but can any indie actually afford to live there? I was paying $1800 / mo when I worked for Maxis in Redwood City.

I think it's possible to get something going with the right people in a home. The problem here is location, maybe hard to get others to join you in a location other than the Bay Area.

I suppose I'd be in good shape if I knew someone in the Bay Area that would oblige, but unfortunately I don't. Still, I don't think I should give up on the idea just yet.
