Goals

Paid Beta — December 2026

Hard target. Everything must be in place by end of year to open a paid beta.

Business Model

• $3 CAD/month subscription for beta access
• Web-only — no app store presence required
• Revenue target: cover operations costs
• Post-beta transitions to a free-to-play vs subscriber model (separate design)

Core Requirements

• Complete core gameplay loop (auto-battle, progression, idle rewards)
• Account system with persistent saves
• Payment infrastructure (Stripe)

Content

• 3 sequential themed regions
• Each region contains hundreds of procedurally generated levels (Wave Function Collapse pipeline)
• Progression is level depth — players push deeper through increasingly difficult content
• Regions unlock sequentially (complete one to access the next)
