TWO ROBOTS // DEPLOYMENT OPS

SIGNAL 01 // THE DEPLOYMENT BRIEF

$750K. HERE IS WHERE EVERY DOLLAR GOES.

▶ ORIENTATION // OPERATIONAL DETAIL

This is not a high-level ask. This is an operational brief. Five budget lines. Five strategic decisions. Every dollar in this round was allocated because of a specific problem we identified and a specific solution we chose.

But before the numbers, one thing needs to be said clearly: this capital does not build the game. The game is built. For 18 months we ran Two Robots: Unleashed through our own launcher with invited playtesters only. We kept it completely off Steam. We were not ready for public reviews and we knew it. That discipline is why our Steam debut in July arrives with a clean slate and a tight loop rather than a rough first impression and a mixed review page.

The $750K funds the team, the final engineering sprint, and the creator seeding campaign that lights the match on a product that is already burning. Read this page and you will understand not just what we are building but how we are going to deploy every dollar without wasting one we do not have to spend.

← /investor-corner // THE INVESTMENT CASE

SIGNAL 02 // CAPITAL DEPLOYMENT // FIVE VECTORS

NOT A WISH LIST. A PRECISION STRIKE.

Most $750K seed rounds go to runway. Ours goes to five specific things, in a specific order, for specific reasons. Each line item was stress-tested against the market realities on the /intro page and the product realities on the /what-is-tru page.

VECTOR 01 // AUDIENCE ACQUISITION

CREATOR AND COMMUNITY SEEDING

$250K // 33%

▶ THE HYPOTHESIS

We do not need millions of players to validate the creator distribution model. We need one clip. One stream. One piece of footage that makes a viewer say I need to try that game. The gravity gun scrap fight in orbital space is that clip. The hypothesis: seed the right creator with early access, capture the genuine reaction, and let the audience pull the game in. We are not buying placement. We are earning discovery.

▶ THE EXPERIMENT LADDER // THREE PHASES

PHASE 01 // MICRO-VALIDATION // $25K

TEST THE CLIP BEFORE THE CREATOR

Before we pay for a major creator partnership, we validate the clip itself. Phase 1 allocates $25K to 5–8 mid-tier creators (50K–500K followers) in two categories: FPS-adjacent streamers and competitive card game YouTubers. Each creator receives early access with no payment — just the game. We capture organic reactions. We measure: did they stream it unprompted? Did their audience ask to play? Did the clip travel beyond the stream? This phase costs less than a single Jynxzi hour and tells us which content format travels best before we scale the bet.

TARGET
5–8 CREATORS // MID-TIER

BUDGET
$25K // PRODUCTION + ACCESS

SUCCESS SIGNAL
1+ ORGANIC CLIP > 50K VIEWS

PHASE 02 // CATEGORY VALIDATION // $75K

FIND THE CATEGORY THAT CATCHES FIRE

Phase 1 tells us which content format and which creator category responded. Phase 2 doubles down on the winner. If the FPS clip traveled — we go deeper into FPS with 3–4 mid-large creators (500K–2M followers) across Twitch and YouTube. If the card game community responded — we seed the top 3 competitive card game creators. We are not hedging both simultaneously. We follow the signal. Phase 2 budget: $75K across creator partnerships, clip production, and community server seeding on Discord. Success here means: a waitlist. Not downloads — a waitlist. Players who want in before we are ready to let them in.

TARGET
3–4 CREATORS // MID-LARGE

BUDGET
$75K // PARTNERSHIPS + DISCORD

SUCCESS SIGNAL
ACTIVE WAITLIST // 5,000+ ENTRIES

PHASE 03 // SCALE EVENT // $150K

THE MOMENT JYNXZI PICKS UP THE GRAVITY GUN

Phase 3 is the scale event. One Tier-1 creator. One moment. Jynxzi (18M+ Twitch followers, R6 Siege specialist) or TenZ (2M+ Twitch followers, former T1 Valorant pro) receives full access to the spectator arena — not a preview, the finished product. The gravity gun fight. The scrap competition. The Biobot hunt. The clip that makes a first-person audience say they have never seen a card game like this. Phase 3 does not happen until Phase 1 and 2 have validated the content format. We do not put $150K on a creator partnership before we know what we are asking them to stream. 28% of Discord viewers launch a game within an hour of watching it streamed. At Jynxzi's scale, that math becomes a waitlist problem, not a discovery problem.

TARGET
1–2 TIER-1 // 2M–20M FOLLOWERS

BUDGET
$150K // PARTNERSHIP + PRODUCTION

SUCCESS SIGNAL
WAITLIST OVERFLOW // SERVER CAPACITY TEST

▶ PARALLEL TRACK // CARD GAMING COMMUNITY

The FPS creator seeding runs in parallel with a separate card gaming creator track. Creators 3–10 in our pipeline are competitive card game YouTubers and streamers who reach the MTG, Hearthstone, and Pokemon TCG community. This audience already understands what a deep card game economy means. They do not need the spectator arena to understand TRU's value — they need the faction identity, the AI balancer, the provenance economy. Two different entry points. One game. The card gamers become the core competitive community. The FPS audience becomes the spectator layer. Both feeding each other.

▶ WHY NOT SKIP PHASES 1 AND 2

A $150K creator partnership is a significant bet. If the clip does not land — if the gravity gun fight does not make an FPS audience say I need to try this — we have spent $150K learning that lesson the hard way. Phases 1 and 2 cost $100K combined and teach us everything we need to know before we make the Phase 3 bet. The $150K for Jynxzi is not the plan. It is the reward for phases 1 and 2 working. This is capital discipline, not timidity.

Rationale: We are not buying ads. We are seeding the people whose audiences trust them. One clip. One stream. The funnel builds itself.

VECTOR 02 // PRODUCT COMPLETION

SPECTATE MODE BUILD-OUT

$200K // 27%

Gravity gun mechanics perfected — scrap physics, competitive pickup, orbital arena feel.

Lab crafting system connected — the full chain from spectator to Biobot card closed.

Production-quality polish — the version Jynxzi streams has to be undeniable on camera.

Rationale: The card battler is 70% done. The spectator arena is 15%. This line item closes the loop that makes TRU a product and not a demo.

VECTOR 03 // INFRASTRUCTURE

GODOT ENGINE ARCHITECTURE

$150K // 20%

Custom threading models for the persistent world topology — 100K concurrent players in one shard.

Vulkan pipeline optimization — the target is 60fps and under 100ms latency on a GTX 1650 Ti from 2019.

W4 Games strategic relationship — the company behind Godot is watching. We want to be worthy of that attention.

Rationale: The technical moat is real but it has to be finished. This line item hires the engine architects who make 100K CCU possible.

VECTOR 04 // COMPETITIVE LAYER

LIVE EVENTS AND TOURNAMENT INFRASTRUCTURE

$100K // 13%

Prize pool mechanics — real stakes, real payouts, real competitive economy.

Clan war infrastructure — the territorial economy that makes the world worth fighting over.

Event layer tooling — the systems that let us run recurring competitive events without manual overhead.

Rationale: The spectator arena only matters if the card games inside it have real stakes. This line item builds the stakes.

VECTOR 05 // OPERATIONS

RESERVE AND COMPLIANCE

$50K // 7%

Legal and compliance — operating agreement finalization, cap table formalization, Clare Advisors valuation.

Runway buffer — 30 days of additional runway in case any vector takes longer than projected.

Team retention — the 15 global contractors who built this get paid on time, every time.

Rationale: The smallest line item. The most important safety net.

▶ TOTAL DEPLOYMENT // 12-MONTH RUNWAY

$750K

Every dollar above is a strategic decision, not a budget estimate. The allocation was built to answer the question: what is the minimum capital required to make TRU undeniable? This is that answer.

// V1 first. Polish second. Platform third. Every step in that order.

▶ AI LAYER // HOW IT COMPOUNDS

The AI card balancer and onboarding coach ship with V1. These are not roadmap promises. As the playerbase grows, the balancer has more data to train on. The onboarding coach learns which explanations land fastest. The AI systems in TRU get better as the game gets bigger — the opposite of human content teams, which get more expensive. By the time we hit the platform layer in 2027+, we have two years of live player data running through AI systems that were designed to scale. That is the compounding asset other studios cannot buy.

SIGNAL 05 // BURN RATE // CURRENT VS TARGET

WHERE THE MONEY IS NOW. WHERE IT GOES.

CURRENT MONTHLY BURN

$17,000

Half-salaries. Conviction. Seven years of this.

▶

TARGET MONTHLY BURN

$28,000

Full salaries. Full-time. The version that ships.

The team already built the demo on half-salaries. The biggest risk to this project is not technical — it is losing the people who proved the technology works. This round pays them what they are worth so they can stop moonlighting and ship full-time. The $750K is not ambition money. It is retention money.
