I've thought about how an indy skateboarding sim would even be rad, I don't actually care about that it has to look pretty, and it would be easier and cheaper to make

There will be a new skateboarding game, it just wont be something any of you put together. Lets be real. None of you have the resources or connections to do anything other than talk about making it happen...and getting some likes and a couple bucks wont cut it.
When a developer sees money in making a skateboarding game, they will. Could be in a few months, but likely to be in a few years. Skate game is never going to match up to FIFA or an FPS title profit wise, thats why we could be waiting a long time.
A petition or kickstarter isn't going to help shit. Harsh truth of it all.

Exactly. As of now I don't think skating is really in the spotlight as it was, say, half a decade ago. Still very popular, sure, but it doesn't have the attention it once did, so there's not much profit in any sort of game that would be released. Might just be my point of view.
30m, I had no idea the bar was that high man.
Phew! That's EA for you.
I've heard more than enough underdog stories though, maybe stupid or optimistic.
Somehow I see it happening for less, no sponsors, no pros, no brands, music tracks made for the game specifically.
I think you could cut down costs drastically just ruling those things out.
Hey lil Wayne, want your own skateboarding simulation game?
He may just be the perfect benefactor. Just saying.
sponsor's pay you, so if you're thinking of how to fund something like this you might want sponsors. things can get done for shoestring budgets but technology costs and knowing how to use it is an in demand and pricey skill. so for a shoestring budget you will end up with an outdated looking game, unless you or someone you know (who will work for next to nothing) can supply something that would otherwise take up a large portion of your budget (whether equipment, knowledge, extremely intense man-hours, creative up-to-date coding skills).
