Funding and collaboration
Completing production of Totana 1578
A substantial part of the project has already been developed with our own resources. The next phase requires funding, teams and collaboration to turn that foundation into the finished work.
We are currently in contact with organisations and institutions in Spain and Ireland connected with culture, tourism, language promotion, local development, the creative industries and accessibility, with the aim of exploring support and funding options for the remaining production.
Work already completed
Technical and playable foundation
The main systems, mission engine, internal tools, numerous puzzles and VCS integration are already part of the project.
Narrative foundation
We are completing the script of the book that provides the narrative foundation and converting its content into situations, decisions, documents, characters and other playable elements.
Production planning
The structure of the game allows us to define the teams, content, environments and resources needed to complete production.
What requires funding
Teams and content
Building and coordinating teams; producing environments, playable documents, 2D and 3D art, interface and animation.
Sound, languages and testing
Music, voices, soundscape, translation and linguistic adaptation, integration, balancing and testing.
Accessibility and release
Further development of VCS, accessibility resources, communications, outreach and release preparation.
Collaborations in progress
We are exploring collaboration with public, cultural, tourism and language-promotion bodies in Spain and Ireland. These discussions are ongoing and should not be understood as confirmed support.
A potential collaboration with ONCE concerning the development and application of VCS is also under negotiation. The proposal includes funding and specialist resources to advance both the accessibility of Totana 1578 and the evolution of the system itself.
Crowdfunding remains a possibility for a later phase, but it is currently on hold and there is no active campaign.
