VOID REAVER

Total investments are limited to a maximum of €230 000, i.e., 2 300 bonds of €100 each.

Investments are subject to the condition that the total raised reaches a minimum funding of €120 000. This minimum also includes contributions, in addition to investments. If this amount is not reached by the end of the campaign, all investors and contributors are fully refunded, and no fees are charged by Gamevestor. Investing involves risks of illiquidity or total or partial loss of invested capital.

• Low financial risk: The studio consists of a small team of experienced developers. Cost contingencies, even significant ones, should be easily manageable. This risk decreases with project size across funding goals.
  Financial risk is most often linked to the Studio's structure and its overall financial health. A Studio with many permanent employees has far fewer solutions to recover from unexpected cost increases than a team of freelancers. Gamevestor also verifies if the Studio's potential other projects are already well funded.
• Moderate production risk: Our team's proven track record with console ports mitigates standard development risks. The risk level is primarily sensitive to project scale; specifically, the inclusion of multiplayer (Objective 2) represents a significant technical milestone that we will manage with the same rigor as our previous ports.
  Production risk, linked to the product and the team designing it, is very high at the start of production and increasingly lower as development progresses. Innovating gameplay or finding the right game design balances are challenges any production can encounter. It is rare to correctly anticipate the effort needed to produce a game and within what timeframes. The team's experience and the project's development stage are key to mitigating this risk.

Mitigation of production risk with Milestones

The Publisher and Studio commit to the following deliveries to demonstrate their progress in the development and operations of VOID REAVER. The SPV keeps investors' funds secure in bank accounts, and commits to paying the Publisher a portion of funds raised during the campaign if Gamevestor, having evaluated the deliverables, effectively validates the Milestone.

Thus, in case of a Publisher or Studio problem preventing Milestone validation for more than 6 months, investors could decide to stop funding and obtain a partial refund of sums not yet paid to the Publisher ; or even, in case of probable Publisher or Studio abuse, have the SPV sue the Publisher for recovery of sums already paid. Gamevestor commits to advising investors on the best course of action and, as chairman of the SPV, to execute the decision they take.
