🔺 PHASE 1 – FOUNDATION OF THE ASCENT Goal: €3,000 Your support will bring to life the foundation of Freemasonry: The Ascent, a narrative-driven concept game exploring mystery, occult symbolism, and inner liberation. This first phase allows us to turn a bold idea into a tangible base to present to publishers and the gaming community. 🎯 WHAT YOUR CONTRIBUTION WILL FUND: 🎨 6 Original Concept Art Pieces Key environments, hidden symbols, and central characters. Each illustration will capture the esoteric and dystopian atmosphere of the game world. 📖 Complete Narrative Bible A professional document outlining the mythology, archetypes, branching storylines, and multiple endings. It will guide the writing and design team through development. 🎮 Playable Demo (Prototype) An early exploratory level in Unreal or Unity. No combat—just immersion: sound design, environmental storytelling, and a first taste of the game’s tone and mechanics. 🧾 BUDGET BREAKDOWN: Item Estimated Cost Concept art (6 pieces) €800 Narrative bible (30 pages) €600 Demo prototype (Unreal/Unity) €1,200 Technical fees & project review €400 🔍 Every phase will be documented and shared with backers: early sketches, behind-the-scenes, design notes, and polls for creative input. 🧠 WHY START HERE: Because indie games need solid ground, not empty promises. This phase builds a shared vision and lets us seek out publishers, grants, and future collaborators with a concrete package. 🫱 HOW TO SUPPORT: 💸 [paypal.me/freemasonrygame] Every donation will be publicly acknowledged and give you access to exclusive content (concepts, design files, narrative notes).
