PASSAGES received Public Funding!


Good news everyone!

We are proud to announce that PASSAGES recently received public funding from the French Ministry of Culture! The funding will cover 50% of the production budget, and brûle. (www.brule.co) will cover the rest.

Back in 2021 we decided to apply for funding because we strongly believed in the potential of the game's concept. We came up with the concept and prototype of PASSAGES within our 22nd Jam during the month of May 2021, with a quite light schedule:
- 8 production days | 62 man-days total
- 9 x 2 hours "community game design" meetings on discord

This is a huge step for us because it is gonna be our first commercial release! Besides, it means that the Game-Jam methodology we slowly refined these last 3 years (collective game design & fast prototyping) can be a decent pre-production model for innovative game concepts. 

Thus, PASSAGES will soon exist as a free-to-play mobile game on android and iOS. In order to make room to the Game's new identity, we decided to remove the Jam version of the game from Passages' itch.io page, but we will maintain it forever under this link.

We will try to share with you how the production goes, how we'll have come from friends wanting to jam together to a game on the market.

Also, we will soon need your savvy asses to playtest the game and help us make it a great success! 🙏🙏

Take care!

VV
