Hello, I am developing my first game which is a serious game about renewable energies.

Basically, my idea is to sell the game usage rights(of a branded version) to a National Electricity Company (in a small European country aka Portugal).

Then use the core mechanic to produce a paid (PC) version to sell worldwide. This version will have different graphics, different in-game goals, more depth but the same core mechanic.

What do you think about this? Blink

There is no problem with this idea. What you want is to sell to the 1st company non exclusive license rights to the game you will produce for them. Since you are dealing with energy companies I suggest you also lawyer up to have a professional contract for them that will make sure you keep the rights.
