Retrospective 06/12 · Funding approval · 13 November 2025. On 13 November 2025, THE GRAVITY COMPLEX® was selected for €45,000 in early-stage funding. After the first rejection, the next step became possible.

  • The letter from Film- und Medienstiftung NRW names the early-stage digital games development funding programme. The project goal was a playable prototype.
  • The €45,000 is the approved funding, not the total cost of the game.
  • The approval did not confirm that payment had already been made. The letter still required a financial assessment and a funding agreement.
  • The rooms needed to offer unusual routes while communicating clear goals.
  • The described mechanics therefore had to come together in a playable version. Orientation remained a central challenge.
  • The later final report documents that a Windows prototype was achieved. In between came revised rooms, new systems and ideas deliberately put aside.
