HOW THE
ECONOMY
WORKS
Play. Earn. Get real value back.
Support us β€” support yourself. A studio that wins only when its players win too. Free to play. Skill-based pay. Loyalty-rewarded. Anti-pay-to-win on every line that matters.

The Principle
THE
ONE
RULE
For every euro the community spends, a meaningful share flows straight back to players β€” as prize money, rewards, free items, merch, and value.
We keep enough to build the game and grow toward a full AAA standalone title; the rest returns to you.

Smart, not greedy. A studio that wins only when its players win too.

What makes us exceptional
THE
EXCEPTIONAL 5
Five things no other tactical FPS β€” UEFN or standalone β€” actually does.
πŸ’°
WE GIVE BACK INSTEAD OF KEEPING IT ALL β€” most studios keep everything. We keep enough to build the game; a meaningful share goes back to the community as prize money, rewards, coaching pay, free items. No other tactical FPS publishes this openly, let alone commits to it.
πŸŽ“
GOATs ARE PAID β€” NOT SOLD β€” other communities make top players sell coaching at $50/hr. We pay our GOATs $20–100 per session/video/mentor month to teach the community. Top talent becomes the studio's payroll, not the community's invoice.
🐐
100 LIFETIME FOUNDER SLOTS FOR ZERO EUROS β€” Warframe charged $250 for Founder. We give 100 of 300 slots to FREE GOAT players. The best skill/stream/scrim players earn permanent shareholder status without ever paying a cent.
πŸ—Ώ
YOUR STATUE IN THE MAP Β· YOUR VOTE IN THE STUDIO β€” Founders co-direct the company itself, not just maps. Real shareholder pool. Physical legacy etched into Sakura Eclipse. This is unprecedented in indie FPS.
πŸ›‘οΈ
PERKS OFF IN COMPETITION β€” every paid perk auto-disables in scrims + tournaments. Pure skill decides every trophy + every dollar of prize money. We protect competitive integrity harder than most "pro" tactical games.
