Cyberside Equation

We are a few weeks into Phase 2 and I have wanted to write this short blog to entertain you a little bit with an idea of the Cyberside equation, which is getting very close to be complete in Q4 2025. 

So, we have announced five games using an IP through our licensing model. Kickstarter is delayed, but it is still on its way to being launched in June. Volume four of the comic is to be released on time, July 1st. What is left? It looks like I know how to tackle the TV/Film segment as well, which will materialise in Q4 in yet another announcement. There will be a few other minor deals that will finish assembling the skeleton. 

Then, muscle and muscle are partnerships. We are having a good start working with our friends at Palamedes PR, again, five game development studios at this point, and we will be assembling relationships and deals around expertise, distribution, representation, finance and media in the next 3-4 months quite extensively, it’s yet one of another priority for 2025.

This might sound a little bit opportunistic, but we have two things to keep in mind here. First, IP building allows quite a lot of manoeuvrability in making very good product deals for your partners first, while Velvet can focus on long-term goals and more creative products. Second, we are not in a hurry with anything, and managing your time is a significant leverage for any business. 

Minorly and tactically, there are a few months of promotions, advertisement, and growth, and every time we approach those campaigns, we get better and get more partners to help us with them. Each of the following weeks will expose additional content for games in development, including gameplay videos, notes on how they are innovating in their fields and contributing to the Cyberside universe. Starting from July, we are launching a creative contest with prizes for writers and creators who are willing to give it a shot and do something in the Cyberside. 

As I have mentioned, it will be a very packed summer of 2025, full of work, experiments, building partnerships and trying our best to drive Cyberside home. As this will be happening, we will be preparing other parts of the Velvet Curtain Cycle to follow.
