Tech Doc Feedback

 * readability - thanks for the link from the image for the plan


 * target platform - well, Phil, what is it?; for specific hardware (e.g. graphics tablets) ask experts; artists *will* expect iMacs, true; on the other hadn, looks like poopware for the programmers at these prices; you can cut prices for such as mikes by using eBay (seriously, you can.); why more of one console than of the other?; be absolutely sure that your C++ dev kit will do the job; not convinced of your argument for writing your own engine; you can cut costs by buying older versions of 3DSMax;


 * Staffing - when you see a plan with 16 simultaneous tasks doesn't it make you wonder if this is too many at the same time?; Do your best to make sure this is a realistic calculation, not just a set of pretty blobs; have you allowed for holidays?;


 * costing - remember that the salary is often around 70% if the cost of employing someone, there is employer's NI contribution, office overheads, etc; would you really pay a website developer £22kpa? Always ask yourself: if I reduce or raise the number by 50% what difference doe sit make? this will help you fine tune the numbers; remember that it is cheaper to employ staff in some places (e.g. Dundee) than others (e.g. Brighton.); the £500k for translation and voice actors looks like a wild guess; do the prices include VAT? (businesses turning voer more than c£36k are VAT exempt); actually, total software csts appear quite reaonable, f you ever get beyond £100k stop; drop the costly ads


 * payback - you don't get anywhere near the box price back into your pockets, expect to lose 90% ...

Summary - this is a good attempt; continue and get it done.

Final feedback: An improvement from the original, but a few problems here and there. Would also be nice if you used a spelling and grammer checker.
