CROWN CITY

1. Scaling Development & Funding Building a modern open-world game is a massive undertaking. While we have a core developer and a solid technical foundation, the jump from a "playable concept" to a "polished empire" requires significant resources. The Plan: This Kickstarter is specifically designed to bridge the gap. The funds will be used to bring on specialized talent (3D artists and sound designers) to ensure the city feels alive. If we exceed our goal, we have a clear roadmap for stretch goals that allow us to scale the world without losing focus on the core mechanics. 2. Scope Creep In a crime sandbox, it’s easy to get lost in adding "one more feature." This often leads to delays. The Plan: We are prioritizing our Core Fantasy. Our developer is focused on perfecting the "survival-to-dominance" loop first. By building the game in modular phases, we ensure that the core experience is rock-solid and playable before we expand on secondary systems. 3. Technical Complexity Open-world ecosystems with "power vacuums" and AI-driven consequences are technically demanding. The Plan: We have already spent months in pre-production to ensure our engine can handle the dynamic nature of Crown City. We are committed to a "function-first" philosophy, ensuring the game is stable and optimized before adding high-fidelity polish. 4. Timeline Estimates Game development can be unpredictable. Unforeseen bugs or production delays can happen. The Plan: We have built a "buffer" into our delivery timeline. Most importantly, we promise regular, honest communication. Whether it’s a breakthrough or a setback, our backers will be the first to know through monthly dev-logs and community updates. Why Trust Us? We aren't just dreamers; we’re builders. By backing this project, you aren't just "buying a game"—you are providing the fuel needed to hire the right hands to make Crown City the living, breathing world it deserves to be.
