This kickstarter could give us the ressources to have our team full time on this, allowing us to** bring the game quicker to you.**
Kickstarter would also provides undeniable proof that people are excited about our idea. This "proof of interest" is our strongest asset when applying for public funding or speaking to investors. It transforms us from "a team with a dream" to "a team with a proven, supported vision." Think of this not just as a purchase, but as a vote of confidence.
We decided to launch during this early production phase because we might never have an opportunity to have so much visibility through steam's **horse game fevstial, and during this phase we can change the scope and ambition of the game thanks do your support. **So we thought we'd give it a try, it's never the right moment so sometimes you just gotta go for it !

Think of it like we've got all the blueprints approved, the concept art is on the walls. The Foundation is Built: story, and art direction are designed and approved. Core mechanics such as riding, character controls and camera, dialog, and horse genetics exist. We know how the game works, what the story is, and what it should look like. No more guessing.
!all clips below are placeholder characters and assets, we are replacing gradually everything with out own hand made 3D art and it takes time!
Reproduction and foal growing up test, very raw, very ugly please bare with us
Playable Prototypes Exist, we have key "bits of gameplay" that need to be assembled together. Art, environments, and menus are getting made weekly. It’s slowly looking less like a tech demo. Our main job now is to mare more prototype chunks and test them even more assembling them together with the art. This means a ton of bug fixing, making sure systems talk to each other, and optimizing so it runs smooth.
**We’ll launch into Early Access **once this assembling, also called Pre production phase is done and we have something that’s fun, stable, and ready for you to break and give us notes on.
