Executive appendix
Investment Overview
The complete decision page: progress, schedule, four funding paths, use of funds, unit economics, and break-even tables.
Product proof
Development Progress
Implemented traversal, combat foundation, dialogue, quests, inventory, saves, interactive environments, locations, and the next vertical-slice sequence.
Capital plan
Funding & Economics
Four financing paths, use of funds, unit economics, break-even copy thresholds, and the assumptions that still require validation.
Positioning
A sharp visual hook, focused scope, and content-first growth plan.
Visual Hook
A street-level look built for clips, posters, and screenshots.
Clear Scope
A PC-first vertical slice focuses production on one interconnected district and its core progression loop.
Content Engine
Devlogs, media drops, and short-form clips support discovery.
Vertical Slice
The next proof point is a polished playable segment.
Why It Stands Out
Title art, city mood, chase tension, and readable side-view action lead the pitch.
Current Status
Implemented foundation, current limitations, and the next proof point.
Production History
Approximately ten months of development work have produced a playable technical and visual foundation.
Playable Build
A launchable early development build exists and supports a short run through current locations.
Early Locations
Multiple early locations exist, with broader content production still required.
Foundational Systems
Dialogue, quests, inventory, and related systems are implemented at a foundational level but require content, integration, and polish.
Combat Presentation
Combat, animation implementation, bosses, feedback, and encounter polish remain major production priorities.
Website
The public site and search structure are active.
Investment Package
Investor Preview, financial model, milestone budget, FAQ, risk register, and data-room structure are active working materials.
Investor Footage
Current movement footage is not yet strong enough to serve as the primary gameplay pitch.
Vertical Slice
A polished segment must connect movement, combat, dialogue or quests, atmosphere, and a clear production-quality bar.
Two Production Cases
A $700K PC-first lean plan and a $1.2M full-production plan make the scope trade-off explicit.
Lean production case
$700K
PC-first, phased specialist hiring, reduced content breadth, selective outsourcing, $70K marketing, and major console work deferred or partner-funded.
Full production case
$1.2M
Broader simultaneous production, the full $120K marketing plan, deeper QA and localization, console-port preparation, and a larger contingency reserve.
