Unlock the City: Support the Rise of StoneGate This Fall

CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGN LAUNCHING FALL 2025 THROUGH INDIEGOGO.

Becoming Hank Luciano: StoneGate City isn’t just a story. It’s a system built in shadows. A city stitched together by crime, loyalty, betrayal—and the power moves no one talks about. Every district has a code. Every player has a past. This is where empires rise… or get buried.

THE GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES: BECOMING HANK LUCIANO – DISTRICT FILES

We’re launching the District Files as the official foundation of the StoneGate Universe — a graphic novel series told district by district, crew by crew, and move by move.

It’s where the journey begins. Before the animated film. Before the series. Before the name Hank Luciano ever meant anything.

Issue #1: BHL – BleakStone Point

The first issue takes you deep into BleakStone Point, a district known for its scars, silence, and shadows.

We follow Sincere Cross, a young dispensary driver with quiet ambition, sharp instincts, and no idea what’s coming. Before revenge. Before betrayal. Before he became the man known as Hank Luciano.

A Spark in the Desert

One day, an unusual order came in. Large quantity. No name. No address. Just coordinates. Out in the desert. No lights. No signal. Just wind, heat, and dust hanging thick in the air.

Sincere pulled up alone. Two cars faced off under the sun — his dusty sedan and a matte-black Benz, idling like it knew something he didn’t.

The man who stepped out? Not just a buyer. Not just a connect. He was family to one of the wealthiest drug lords in StoneGate City.

That one delivery didn’t just change the drop. It rewired his entire destiny. That day, in the middle of nowhere… Hank Luciano was born.

THE DISTRICT FILES SERIES

This is a graphic novel series, not a one-off. Each issue explores a new district, a new power shift, and a new piece of the city’s criminal ecosystem.

What to Expect:

- District-Based Arcs – Each novel focuses on a different zone of StoneGate City, with its own codes, politics, and dangers.

- New Crews, Factions & Ghosts – From cybercrime syndicates to street empires, every character and crew adds tension to the growing map.

- Cinematic Worldbuilding – Each page builds toward the upcoming 3D animated film and series. This is canon. This is core.

WHY THIS CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGN MATTERS

This isn’t a hobby project. This is a cinematic universe being built from the ground up. And it doesn’t happen unless this campaign succeeds.

We’ve got the blueprint, the vision, the creative team—and now we need your support to bring District Files to life.

What You're Funding:

- Graphic Novel Production – Illustration, storyboarding, design, writing, and printing.

- Distribution – Digital + collectible physical editions with alternate covers.

- Talent – Writers, visual artists, voice actors, and design specialists.

- Marketing – Campaign visibility, outreach, trailers, and early promos.

- World Expansion – Laying the foundation for future issues, the 3D film, and the cinematic series.

AND BEYOND THE BOOKS... THE FILM & SERIES

Once District Files is rolling, we begin development on the 3D animated film and eventually the cinematic series. These next chapters will be built using Unreal Engine — the same real-time technology used by:

- Disney+ (The Mandalorian)

- The Matrix Awakens

- Fortnite, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Street Fighter 6

- And major animation studios like Blur Studio and Reel FX

With it, we’ll bring StoneGate City to life — with immersive districts, photorealistic animation, and cinematic scenes that feel like the streets are breathing.

But make no mistake: Projects like this cost hundreds of thousands — even millions — to complete. Even with crowdfunding success, we’ll continue seeking support through:

- Additional campaigns (Kickstarter, Seed&Spark, etc.)

- Private investors & equity partners

- Grants, licensing, and strategic deals

This is real-world storytelling. Independent, cinematic, and culture-driven. The kind of project built for legacy—not for likes.

FALL 2025 — BE READY TO MOVE
