Katana Inu’s Unreal Engine action game is the primary product, creative focus and acquisition destination. Lead with combat, skill and the world. The UE 5.8 upgrade is team-reported; publish technical claims only after build verification.
Develop a story experience from the flagship universe. Validate demand with a short narrative slice before funding a full campaign.
Launcher and mobile-friendly arcade experiences introduce the IP to different tastes and session lengths. They support the flagship rather than becoming twenty competing priorities.
Show readable combat, mastery and fair competition. Route high-intent PC players to the flagship store page and onboarding.
Offer an instant browser session through runners, precision arcade and survival concepts. Invite interested players into the wider universe after a successful session.
Use character stories, concept art and narrative tests to learn which parts of the universe deserve a deeper game.
Creator-led combat clips and playable arcade challenges introduce one recognizable character or mechanic.
Deliver a first enjoyable match quickly. Keep gameplay access independent of token purchases and optional ownership features.
Run weekly challenges, community play nights and creator rematches. Reward participation with cosmetic recognition; measure return play rather than giveaway entries.
Audit flagship onboarding, performance and match completion. Instrument consent-aware acquisition attribution. Test three combat messages with a small creator cohort; release one arcade bridge experiment.
Run weekly creator-versus-community matches. Compare retention by acquisition source and device. Pilot university tournaments with local organizers only after server and moderation readiness.
Expand only channels with retained players and acceptable acquisition cost. Publish a gameplay-led press kit. Decide whether the arcade bridge and narrative slice merit further funding.
Recruit small and mid-sized creators with relevant action-game audiences. Pay for clearly disclosed deliverables, unique attribution links and follow-up sessions. Never present unconfirmed creators as partners.
Improve the store page, trailer opening and playable onboarding before scaling ads. Test intent and short-form creative separately. Judge campaigns by cost per retained player, not cheap clicks.
Pitch a concrete playable update and real footage. Start with English plus one region selected by player data. Test German, Turkish, Arabic and Brazilian Portuguese localization in small cohorts before expanding.
Proposed allocation of a test marketing budget: flagship creative, creator tests, onboarding and qualified player acquisition.
Community operations, repeat-play events, measurement and localization experiments.
One arcade or mobile funnel experiment at a time. The original $70,000 monthly ad proposal is historical input, not an approved commitment. Release spend in stages after evidence.
Track landing → store → install → tutorial → first completed match. Report funnel conversion by channel, geography and device.
Track D1/D7/D30 by install cohort, match completion and cost per D7-retained player. Establish a 30-day baseline before approving numeric scale thresholds.
Scale only when retention meets the pre-agreed baseline, unit cost fits the approved cap and service quality holds. Stop weak experiments; do not transfer unrelated arcade engagement into flagship success claims.
Explore short arena battles and lane-based tactics through original characters, art and rules. Test one core loop before committing a full production team.
Use exploration and survival prototypes to learn whether players want more of the world. Story development follows demonstrated demand and production capacity.
Low-friction browser and mobile formats reach players outside competitive PC gaming. Measure voluntary flagship interest; audience overlap is a hypothesis, not a promise.
