An Initial Seed Funding like an Epic Mega Grant, would be used to validate the game by enabling us to explore future gameplay possibilities we have planned when it comes to mechanics and puzzle components. To make sure we can actually deliver a complete experience before asking for further funding. This would help us come closer to a Minimal Viable Product for the Prototype and lay much of the ground work needed for future levels of the game.  

​

Currently the prototype doesn't really reflect the vision of the game, both in Tone where its almost too atmospheric and lonesome, but also in its perspective and mechanics. 

We wish to change it to Third Person, to broaden the audience by enabling easier platforming and more complex movement options. Since there is a strong focus on story, this hopefully makes the player feel more connected to the character itself as well. 
We also want to introduce a companion character that joins the player, that can be used in puzzle solving but also brighten the tone a bit, and act as a bit of a guide. We essentially want to make the game more Zelda-like, possibly with combat as well if we can balance it with puzzle solving.

We believe in supporting the community as much as possible and to give back to those help us, and we aim to do so by releasing Plugins we build throughout the development to the community, such as the Time Manipulation Plugin, if we manage to acquire full funding!
