Canada Media Fund – Funding announcement for Time Leaper – September 2024
We are beyond excited to announce that we have received prototyping funding from the Canada New Media Fund for our new project, Time Leaper. This marks a significant milestone for our studio, increasing our production line and company productivity significantly. We also would love to give a shoutout to Shred Capital who has helped us navigate the application process.
“Time Leaper” is an immersive single-player time-travel game that challenges players to navigate through different time periods in order to survive and repair a Quantum Portal and return to their own reality. Set in multiple timelines, players must utilize strategic thinking and resource management to survive.
While most games concentrate on one or two genres of gameplay, Time Leaper works to create continuous new experiences for players by “leaping” between time periods, each with distinct environments, challenges and resources. A player may choose between starting in the wild west, in the dark medieval ages or in the 1950’s, with survival in each timeline requiring gathering essentials to fulfill basic needs, while also searching for materials to repair the Quantum Portal. As players progress, they can unlock new abilities, upgrades, and technologies to increase their chances of survival. While each time period has its risks and rewards, a player must think strategically about what game style to tackle first. They are warned that timelines interact and intersect and by choosing what portal to explore first, a player then sets the “butterfly effect” into motion. What does that mean? A player will only find out the consequences of their actions when they enter another timeline which has been irrevocably changed based on their choices, successes and failures in previous timelines.
