		is YC suited for game devs?

		Well, is it? I have an idea for a game and have most of the codebase done. I am an avid reader of YC news and notice that a lot of the posters are into either enterprise software, or social networking/web 2.0 applications. I am a yc hopeful...but wondering if I should be looking elsewhere. What do you think?

We'd consider a game co.

It can't hurt to apply. I think you'd need to have some kind of hook to set you apart from other game developers to have a serious shot at it.

If most of the code is finished, why bother with YC? Go straight to a VC after you get something to show them.

Most of the codebase done and no prototypes?
