Upgrading

(This artifact is a work in progress, which I’ll expand over time)

💡Upgrading is a constant process of upgrading Artifacts & Explorers through their specific phases and scaling from a Micro to Iconic World.

Upgrading Artifacts

The process of evolving an Artifact from one medium (phase) to the next based on its popularity and perceived value — aka Fan Demand.

Example of Upgrading from Text to Video Games

Text → Illustration → Audio → Animation → Film → Video Games

Upgrading Explorers

Upgrading is an organic natural process that Explorers go through where they themselves choose what level of exploration they want to experience in your Open World.

Explorers “upgrade” themselves through the four phases of being an Explorer ultimately enabling you to monetize some of your Artifacts as products.
