## Visual Asset Creation (Saturday/Sunday)
|
|
|
|
### The Approach: Reality + Cinematic Filters
|
|
|
|
**Subjects:**
|
|
- Macro shots of server hardware
|
|
- Glowing LEDs on network equipment
|
|
- 3D printer hot-end
|
|
- Monitor in dark room
|
|
|
|
**Lighting:**
|
|
- Room lights OFF
|
|
- LED wand or phone screen casting Fire (orange) or Frost (cyan) light
|
|
|
|
**Editing (Lightroom Mobile — free):**
|
|
- Color Grading: Shadows → teal/cyan, Highlights → orange/red
|
|
- Add Grain + Vignette
|
|
- Result: Cinematic "Ridley Scott" aesthetic
|
|
|
|
### Asset Checklist
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Post 1: Fire/Frost split image
|
|
- [ ] Post 2: Dark background, "20" with flame and ice crystal
|
|
- [ ] Post 3: Fire and ice collision
|
|
- [ ] Post 4: Stars + fire/frost ground spread
|
|
- [ ] Post 5: Blurred/obscured Firefrost logo
|
|
- [ ] Post 6: Twenty candles (most lit, some dark)
|
|
- [ ] Post 7: **Butter** — CEO headshot (desaturated, imperious, judging your quarterly performance)
|
|
- [ ] Post 8: Figure at open gate (Fire left, Frost right)
|
|
- [ ] Post 9: Full Firefrost logo on pure black background (CLEAN, no effects)
|
|

## Post 7 — The Consultant Update
|
|
|
|
**Original:** Jack (Chief Medical Alert Officer)
|
|
**Updated:** Butter No Nutters (CEO)
|
|
|
|
**Updated Copy:**
|
|
> Our CEO has reviewed the project.
|
|
>
|
|
> He approves.
|
|
>
|
|
> (He also approves of naps on keyboards, mandatory chin scratches, and people who choose a side.)
|
|
>
|
|
> 🐈⬛ firefrostgaming.com/discord
|
|
|
|
**Visual Treatment:**
|
|
- Frame like Fortune 500 CEO headshot
|
|
- Dead center, slight low angle (imposing)
|
|
- Desaturated, heavy shadows, high contrast
|
|
- Intense eye contact
|
|
- Cat energy: judging your quarterly performance and finding it lacking
|
|
|
|
**Save Jack for Phase 2/3** — Husky energy perfect for "Welcome to the Discord, things are moving fast" post.

## Hashtag Strategy (3-2-2 Rule)
|
|
|
|
Use 5-7 hashtags per post:
|
|
|
|
**2 Broad (The Net):**
|
|
- `#Minecraft`
|
|
- `#Gaming`
|
|
|
|
**3 Niche (The Target):**
|
|
- `#ModdedMinecraft`
|
|
- `#MinecraftServers`
|
|
- `#AllTheMods` (or relevant modpack)
|
|
|
|
**2 Branded (The Identity):**
|
|
- `#FirefrostGaming`
|
|
- `#FireOrFrost`
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Phase 2 Pacing
|
|
|
|
**April 14 (4:00 PM CDT):** Drop the Reveal (Post 9). Let it sit for 24 hours. Discord will start populating.
|
|
|
|
**April 15 (Soft Launch):** ONE post only:
|
|
> "The servers are live. The $1 door is open. 20 Sovereign seats are available. See you inside."
|
|
|
|
**Do not over-post.** Confidence, not desperation.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## The Backup Plan
|
|
|
|
**If Discord joins are lower than expected:** Do absolutely nothing.
|
|
|
|
- Do not extend the timeline
|
|
- Do not post desperate "Please join!" follow-ups
|
|
- Welcome the people who DO join as the most important Wanderers on earth
|
|
- Proceed with soft launch exactly as planned
|
|
|
|
The soft launch tests infrastructure (Stripe, Pterodactyl, Ops Manual), not audience size. Momentum builds organically once servers are live and players invite friends.
|

## The $499 Sovereign Price Point
|
|
|
|
**Leading with $499 is correct** because of the $1 anchor.
|
|
|
|
The copy juxtaposes: "There will be a $1 door... The 20 Sovereign founding seats are different."
|
|
|
|
- $499 communicates premium, serious, long-term project
|
|
- Makes $1 Awakened tier feel like an absolute steal
|
|
- Acts as psychological filter — legitimizes the realm
|
|

|
## Platform-Specific Notes
|
|
|
|
**Instagram/TikTok:** Caption ends with "Link in bio" (not the URL — they can't click it)
|
|
|
|
**Verify before Post 1:** Linktree is updated and active at linktr.ee/firefrostgaming
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Key Rules
|
|
|
|
1. **Never fake the Sovereign count** — only post real numbers
|
|
2. **Never set a fake deadline** — soft launch happens when Trinity says ready
|
|
3. **The $1 door never closes** — scarcity is Sovereign-specific only
|
|
4. **Discord is the funnel** — every post leads there
|
|
5. **Post at exactly 4:00 PM CDT** — train the algorithm and audience
|
|
6. **Don't over-explain** — mystery sells better than feature lists
