Use of Proceeds

We are seeking to raise a minimum of $10,000 and up to $106,998 in this offering through Regulation Crowdfunding. After the offering, funds will be used as follows:

Salaries: The net proceeds will pay for three individuals to work. These individuals are a deployment engineer, community manager, and our director, all taking a modest salary.

Office Equipment Needs: We require high-end computer hardware to deploy games. As a result, we will make needed purchases to ensure we stay competitive.

Working Capital: We are obligated to fund various expenses on behalf of our clients, such as development and acquisition costs, software licensing costs, deployment fees, and more. While we absorb these costs back after launch, we still need to have the cash available to incur them.

Other: The company does not intend to use the proceeds of this raise to pay back the loan payable-owner indicated on the balance sheet.
