Odyssey
RagnarokInteractive

Odyssey Ragnarok Interactive is the new game studio 100% owned by Odyssey Ecosystem (Jean Pagliarani and Henry Esaa); JH Duo and EOS Connecting are sister branches that support it (commercial and technology). It is not a work for hire service: the studio creates, publishes and operates its own games, first on PC (Steam) and mobile (Android and iOS), then on Mac.

The plan runs on two engines. A narrative flagship based on the founders' own saga, Knots & Blades, turning an intellectual property with a published book (Kleithros, the prologue; three more being written) into a transmedia franchise (books, game, audio and collectibles). And smaller support titles for mobile and PC that bring early learning, data and cash flow.

We are looking for investors with 15,000 USD tickets. We propose three round scenarios: 60,000 USD (4 tickets), 165,000 USD (11 tickets) and 330,000 USD (22 tickets). Every figure in this document is an estimate with explicit assumptions; returns are not guaranteed.

Vision. Born in Latin America, built for the world: a studio with its own epic identity, able to create worlds that live across formats: games, books, audio and community.

Identity. The brand takes the Norse look of the logo: a rune arc, Fenrir, the longship and a world split between fire (red) and ice (blue). Ragnarok stands for the end of one cycle and the birth of another: a small studio that dares to tell big stories.

• We publish our own work. Intellectual property, data and the player relationship stay with the studio.
• Realistic scope. Projects sized for a small team, with measurable milestones and metric driven decisions.
• Multiplatform from day one. One technical pipeline for PC, Android, iOS.
• Born in Latin America, built for the world. A global studio for players everywhere, with lower costs than the US or Europe.
• Transparency with investors. Monthly reports, a KPI dashboard and visible assumptions.

• User acquisition is getting pricier: global game cost per install (CPI) rose 30% in 2025 to 0.56 USD, per Adjust as cited by Newzoo. That is why we prioritize organic growth and community.

Latin America, where we come from (sourced data)

• Latin America: 372.3 million players, 8.3 billion USD in 2025 (+6.4%); 46% of players pay, spending 48.5 USD a year on average. Mobile 4.4 B USD; PC and console about 2.0 B USD each. Forecast: 9.7 B USD in 2028. gamescom latam with Newzoo data
• The region grows faster than North America (+4.2%) and Europe (+3.6%), per the same source. gamescom latam
• Acquiring users in LATAM is cheap: Adjust reports a games CPI of 0.14 USD in LATAM versus 1.71 USD in the US (2025 data, cited by SuperScale). Ideal for early market tests.
• Google Play funds Latin American indie studios without taking equity: 150,000 to 200,000 USD per studio, 8 M USD to date, with a Colombian studio among the 2025 recipients. Google

Flagship: Knots & Blades · Kleithros, the prologue

A man wakes up locked in a sinking metal cell, beside a silver haired stranger who seems to know all his secrets, and must face his demons before the last sliver of light disappears.

Synopsis. Lukas wakes with no memory in a metal cell with a single slit of light. With him is Klaus, a porcelain faced, silver haired man who toys with an ancient coin and accuses him of being a murderer. Outside, a creature whistles and pounds the walls while the cell sinks into the earth. Through confessions about fear, guilt, family and freedom, Lukas remembers his son, Anna and a country destroyed by a tyrannical regime. Every truth brings the exit closer, but demands a price. At the end, Alexander Nasir Levy (Alex) appears: the writer behind the pen name Gregori H. Orlov and the protagonist of the saga that continues.

Three hooks

1. Two men trapped in a cell that is burying itself alive, and only one can get out.
2. An ancient coin bearing the motto "vita et mors, lux et umbra" is the price of freedom, and Charon is coming to collect it.
3. The book the protagonist writes opens a saga of conspiracies and hidden powers, where the heroes cut the knots of a web woven in the shadows.

• Genre: narrative decision thriller with mystery exploration (see The game).
• Platforms: PC (Steam) and mobile first; Mac later.
• Model: one time premium purchase, one paid installment per book of the saga, no ads. The Kleithros prologue is always free: a demo on Steam for PC and a free trial on mobile.

A transmedia IP that strengthens the investment

KleithrosPublishedThe opening book of the saga: a psychological thriller and prologue.

Dark LabyrinthsBeing writtenA future title expanding the scale and conflicts of the saga.

Whispers of ChaosBeing writtenAn upcoming installment that pushes the universe deeper into chaos.

RevelationsBeing writtenA forthcoming title where buried truths begin to demand their price.

• The saga already exists beyond the game: four books (Kleithros, Dark Labyrinths, Whispers of Chaos and Revelations). Kleithros is published as a digital edition in English, Spanish, German and Italian, at 4.99 USD on knotsandblades.com.
• Active owned channels: store, the saga's crowdfunding campaign, collectibles, audio on SoundCloud, YouTube, Instagram and Patreon.
• A collaborator program already offers booktubers a free copy and a 15% affiliate commission: the same channel can drive the game's wishlists.
• Each format feeds the others: readers discover the game, players buy books and collectibles. Less dependence on paid ads.

Support titles (pending decision: plan B, smaller games)

Support titles bring early learning, data and cash flow, and can be set in the studio's Norse aesthetic or in the saga's universe.

Engine under evaluation (not decided yet): Unity 6 with C#. Reasons: mobile maturity, an IAP ecosystem, export to Android, iOS, Windows and Mac from a single project, and a language (C#) close to the team's web and software background. Unity Personal is free while revenue plus funding stay at or below 200,000 USD over 12 months; above that, Unity Pro is required (2,310 USD per seat per year in 2026). Unity

Alternatives considered. Godot 4 (MIT license, no fees) is excellent for 2D and prototypes, with a thinner ecosystem of mobile SDKs and console support. Unreal Engine 5 is strong in high end 3D, at the cost of C++ and heavier hardware. Decision point: the flagship engine is chosen before month 9.

Reference prices as of October 15, 2026, in USD from US stores, before taxes; every figure links to its source. GPU and memory prices are very volatile in 2026: Gartner expects DRAM and SSD prices to rise 130% and PCs to cost 17% more, and IDC sees no relief before late 2027 (Gartner · IDC). In Colombia, VAT (19%) applies and import costs are quoted at purchase.

1. Complete setup per person (3 seats)

Why 3 x RTX 5090 and not RTX 5090 + RTX 6000 Ada: the whole team programs and create content in real time. The RTX 5090 (32 GB, Blackwell generation) is newer than the RTX 6000 Ada (48 GB, previous generation), costs less (the 6000 Ada card alone is 6,664) and belongs to the same GPU family players use, so profiling happens on representative hardware. Identical workstations are interchangeable if one fails. 32 GB is enough for Unity, bakes and mid sized local AI; heavier loads use cloud GPUs by the hour. No build server: with 2 people, Windows and Android builds run on the workstations (GameCI) and Apple builds on the Mac mini; it becomes justified as the team grows. Two 32" monitors per seat: the usual game development setup, one for the editor or scene and one for code, docs and profilers.

2. Shared by the team

UPS: the BR1500MS2 delivers 900 W; with the RTX 5090 at full load, draw can approach that limit, so it is validated with a real measurement before purchase and a larger model is quoted if needed. Not included with a figure (quoted before purchase and covered by contingency): motherboard, power supply, case and cooling for each workstation, chair and desk, webcam, mobile test devices, NAS and backup router.

3. Licenses

• Unity Pro: 2,310 per seat per year (Unity); budgeted under licenses.

3. Cloud and infrastructure

• Backend: Supabase Pro from 25 USD per month per organization, with 100,000 monthly active users included (Supabase); Render and Cloudflare by usage.
• 3 2 1 backups: workstations to NAS with snapshots, NAS to external cloud and repositories on GitHub.
• Redundant internet: main fiber with 4G/5G backup and UPS. Remote team on its own connection.

4. Hardware by phase (full scenario, reference prices)

5. Player requirements (provisional targets)

Target values to be validated with performance profiling. Mobile minimums aligned with Unity 6.x: Android 8.0 (API 26) and iOS 15. Unity

Pipeline per title: concept and fast prototypes, preproduction with a design document and performance budget, production in two week sprints, alpha with closed tests, beta or soft launch with metrics, launch and LiveOps. Each phase gate requires passing a KPI check.

• Cost assumptions (estimates): Unity developer 1,500 USD/month, senior 2,300, 2D artist 1,300, 3D artist 1,600, founders 650 each during the round.
• LATAM advantage: in Colombia the average game developer salary is about COP 3.4 million a month, in a 3 to 8 million range per Glassdoor as cited by Semana. In the US the median annual wage of a software developer was 135,980 USD in May 2025 (BLS). The whole studio team costs less per year than a single US developer.

Dates: to be defined.

Three scenarios, all founders' estimates. In every scenario the flagship follows the three approved phases: first the free Kleithros prologue demo on Steam, with a presence at a Steam Next Fest, then the wishlist campaign and investment search using that data, then the full game, starting with Dark Labyrinths. Seed (12 months) launches Support 1 and publishes the prologue demo. Mid (18 months) adds Support 1 LiveOps and the wishlist campaign with investment search. Full (24 months) adds Support 2 and starts the full game with Dark Labyrinths.

Full scenario by phase

• License assumption: in the full scenario funding exceeds 200,000 USD, so Unity Pro is budgeted (3 seats in year 1 and 4 in year 2). Godot would save about 16,000 USD.
• Platform fees: Steam Direct 100 USD per game (recouped after 1,000 USD in revenue), Apple Developer 99 USD per year, Google Play 25 USD once. Steamworks · Apple

• Knots & Blades (PC and mobile): one time premium purchase, no ads: one paid installment per book of the saga. The Kleithros prologue is always free: free demo on Steam for PC and free trial on mobile. Steam takes 30% in its standard tier; Apple and Google charge small developers 15% under their small business programs.
• Support titles (pending decision): a plan B with smaller games; each one's model is listed in the catalog and would be validated with prototypes. It does not apply to Knots & Blades.
• Transmedia: cross promotion with Knots & Blades books, audio and collectibles (book revenue is not included in this model unless agreed).

KPIs and industry benchmarks

Revenue scenarios (estimates, 36 months from close)

Assumptions: net installs and LTV per support title; on PC, net revenue per unit close to 50% of price after store fees, regional pricing, taxes and refunds. Flagship figures are references while its scope is finalized.

• Steam first: an early store page, steady updates and quarterly wishlist targets. A public demo at a Steam Next Fest.
• Festivals: BIG Festival inside gamescom latam (São Paulo), the largest indie competition according to its organizers; the 2026 edition ran April 30 to May 3. We aim to take the Kleithros prologue demo.
• Influencers and press: Spanish speaking streamers and booktubers from the saga's collaborator program; a bilingual press kit.
• HeyCatch style organic promotion: daily actions on Reddit, X, TikTok and LinkedIn in the founders' voice, joining conversations where the audience already is. HeyCatch costs from 79.95 USD every 4 weeks after the intro period; its own guide notes it is built for solo founders, so we treat it as a method reference.
• Community: Discord, YouTube devlogs and the saga's Patreon, closed tests with the community.
• Mobile market tests: soft launch in LATAM at low CPI before spending in expensive markets.

Why 15,000 USD

• Accessible: within reach of angels and professionals from any country, without depending on a single large fund.
• Consistent: it is the same 15,000 USD ask that Odyssey Ecosystem already presents in its investor material.
• Tangible: each ticket funds a concrete unit of work (see below) and its use can be reported.
• Spreads the risk: many small tickets spread the risk and build a community of ambassadors for the studio and the saga.

Per 15,000 USD ticket · Mid

What one ticket concretely pays for (estimate)

Participation tiers

What the investor gets (the investor chooses A, B or C; B, revenue share, is recommended)

• Option A · Equity: proposed pre money valuation of 750,000 USD. One ticket equals 1.85% (seed round), 1.64% (mid) or 1.39% (full).
• Option B · Revenue share (recommended): the investor pool receives 30% of the studio's net revenue, split per ticket, until it returns 1.5x (22,500 USD per ticket) for the first 4 tickets and 2x (30,000 USD per ticket) for the rest.
• Option C · SAFE or convertible note: 1,000,000 USD post money valuation cap and a 20% discount at the next priced round (one ticket equals 1.5% at the cap).

Return scenarios per ticket (estimates, full round)

Assumptions: revenue from the table in The Spoils; illustrative valuation using annual revenue multiples; equity is illiquid until a sale or future round. In the base case the revenue share keeps paying after month 36 until the cap is reached. Option B cap: 1.5x for tickets 1 to 4 and 2x from ticket 5; where a cell shows two figures, the first is tickets 5 to 22 and the second tickets 1 to 4.

Milestones and reporting commitments

• Monthly email with progress, spend and next milestones.
• Quarterly KPI dashboard (retention, ARPDAU, CPI, wishlists) and annual financial statements.
• Rolling close: no minimum amount and no refunds. Funds are used from the first ticket (hardware and team first); the round stays open 90 days.

Investor perks

• Your name in the Hall of Valhalla, in the credits of every studio game.
• Early access and test keys, an exclusive investor shield cosmetic and a private Discord channel.
• Invitations to closed tests and presentations with the team.

• All cost, revenue, valuation and return figures are estimates under the assumptions stated in each section.
