How much does it cost to open a small game development studio?

Question

Game development

Good evening.
I've been thinking about opening a small game development studio for a long time.
Lots of ideas as always.
And start with a small project. Games like Angri birds of the first versions. (I'm talking about graphics and mechanics).
And now I have a question - how much does it cost to start.
For example, you can rent an office for 20 k.r. (monthly).
Equipment can be bought at the initial level of 200-300 k.r.
Three or four people team:
2d artist
Animator
Coder
According to the RFP, I also don’t know how to pay them and on what criteria.
What else is needed?
Well, in general, the question is - how much does it cost in your opinion to organize such an activity.
ATP
City St. Petersburg if anything)

Answer 1

2 million rubles monthly.

Answer 2

I don’t understand why everyone suddenly clung to the office and the purchase of equipment. What prevents you from starting with a monetization plan, a website and a remote team? Why do you need to rent an office first, buy coolers-coffee-comps? :)
In fact, you need:
1) front-end for customers-buyers (website)
2) a team of developers and designers (2-3 people for the first time, remotely)
3) a legal entity or individual entrepreneur to do business. If an individual entrepreneur does not even need an accountant, there are a lot of online accounting services.
And do you think that all this costs millions a month? )

Answer 3

The question is more related to the economy, the start-up capital is determined from the costs required until the company starts to make a profit. It's already a matter of time. Whole business plan. In short, fixed assets: premises (if rented, it does not apply to fixed assets), production equipment, household equipment (cooler, microwave, tables, first aid kits, fire extinguishers, and so on), software. Current assets: money spent on the production of a unit of product (app/game). This parameter consists of salary, rent of premises, utility payments, taxes.
ZP is worth paying% of the unit of the product, but no one will work in anticipation of an order for half a year, therefore, the percentage is not large, but taking into account the previously paid money. The rest is in the profit of the company. It’s worth starting with already with a client base, and 200 thousand is enough to start, provided that the profit is just around the corner.
An ideal option to combine a design studio / photo studio / game and application development.

Answer 4

Answer 5

If you act wisely, then you need a business plan in which all the details are described.
The size of the payroll, sources of funding and profits.
And putting together a team is not an easy task. Offhand - you do not have an accountant in the list :)
Within the framework of this service, a short and capacious answer is not possible.
If in rubles, then you need to build on the seven-digit amount.
