REASONS TO INVEST

Our Sports Physics Engine technology uses physics simulation to deliver incredibly dynamic, emergent gameplay for a highly realistic and variable user experience. *The launch of 2 products in our pipeline is an anticipated event that has not happened at this time. This is not a guarantee of future performance.

We have already established a disruptive foothold in the $203 billion global video game market with our first game, Football Simulator, and we have two major new games coming up in our pipeline.*

After 5,000+ customers bought our first game on Steam, we signed agreements with Nvidia, Bubba Dutch, and Microsoft (to bring our games to Xbox), and have been in communication with companies including Reliance Jio, Otherside, 2K Games, and Bytedance.

the pitch

At Refactor Games, we create high-quality independent video games with cutting-edge, real-time interactive software and tools. Our co-founder Nathan Burba has a track record of major success in VR gaming with his previous company Survios, and now he brings his technical expertise and robust network to the traditional video game market. The success of our first game has enabled us to work with major industry players, and we believe that we are now ready to grow. 





Overview


Building Independent Games with Realistic Graphics and Innovative Gameplay

*Image is a computer-generated demo version. Product is still currently under development and not currently available to the public.


We specialize in moddable, high-quality independent versions of mainstream games built using our Emergent Gameplay technology. As our games gain popularity, they generate buzz, which we then use to sign development, distribution, and licensing deals with multiple major players in the multi-billion dollar video game industry. We then generate robust revenue across multiple platforms while building a strong community of people who love our products. 


Our CEO Nathan Burba has an incredible track record of producing high-quality video games.



The Problem & Our solution


Harnessing Simulated Physics for Emergent Gameplay


Many popular games that are currently on the market work by recycling the same formulas using canned animations, which can lead to a stale experience for users and limits their choice and agency during gameplay. 


*Images are computer-generated demo versions. Product is still currently under development and not currently available to the public.



We believe that our Sports Physics Engine is a revolutionary core technology that creates a completely unique experience every time you play the game. Rather than hiring animators to pre-program outcomes, our Emergent Gameplay uses real physics simulations to dynamically generate scenarios, opening up what we believe is unprecedented freedom and possibility during gameplay. Our games are also moddable, allowing users to create additional unique experiences while building thriving communities.

Serving a Major Niche in a Massive Industry

The global video game market was valued at $203.12 billion in 2020, and is expected to grow to $545.98 billion by 2028 (Source). With each game that we develop, we aim to target a market that yields at least $1 billion in yearly revenue. Our first game, Football Simulator, targets the sports game market, and our upcoming games Battleground Mars and Journeyman, respectively, target the online shooter and fantasy action RPG markets. 


*The above graphic contains images of our open beta product, which is currently not available for general use.


Since we released Football Simulator, we have gained over 5,000 early customers and over 9,000 wishlists, and we were featured in PC Gamer. Our partnership with Ethereal Engine, an open source game engine, provides free backend technology and support for all of our games. 


Here is some footage from our upcoming games Battleground Mars and Journeyman:

An Opportunity to Join a Highly Experienced Team

*The above graphic contains images of our open beta product, which is currently not available for general use.


After the success of Football Simulator, we have been flooded with inbound business requests, and plan to expand our senior engineering talent and business teams to develop more independent games and expand into new market segments. With our founder and CEO’s previous success building one of the largest VR gaming company in Los Angeles by raising over $70 million, many key industry relationships in place, and a community of thousands of enthusiastic customers, we are ready for major growth.

FAQS
Crowdfunding

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.

With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.

At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.

Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.

StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.

For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.

For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.

Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.

Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.

Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.
