A serious project is known as much by what it forbids itself as by what it promises. Here is the framework we hold ourselves to, and the orders of magnitude — non-contractual.
What is played as a hypothesis remains flagged as such, in the game as in the dossier.
Collection kept to the strict minimum; tests follow an explicit code of ethics.
Time-stamping, trademark, trade secret. Shown, never handed over.
The work and the technology are linked by value, separated by law and accounting.
Each stage opens only once the previous one is met. Nothing is presented as secured.
The project is currently being structured. No funding is secured to date.
Three simulations are being studied. These are not committed amounts: they are benchmarks, refined with the partners, under agreement.
| Simulation | Order of magnitude | Rationale | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Public-first | ≈ €600k | A standalone R&D project; the Engine treated as a reusable asset. | To be decided |
| 2 · Hybrid | ≈ €1M | Grant (experimental core) + venture capital (product) + debt (working capital). | Central option |
| 3 · Venture capital | ≈ €3M | International pre-production; hiring and publisher negotiations. | To be decided |
