2025 Annual Operations Plan


Acknowledgment of 2024 Challenges

In 2024, Tenebrous Tales Interactive (TTI) encountered delays in achieving its AOP milestones due to the emergence of multiple teaching opportunities and job opportunities to assist a couple of start-ups and non-profit organizations. These commitments limited the available time to finalize TTI projects as initially planned. However, significant progress was made on the development side, including a newer frontend with the ability to scale. All of which set a strong foundation for concluding development in 2025.

This document outlines the strategic roadmap for TTI’s objectives in 2025, incorporating key learnings from the previous year to pave the way for a smoother development process.
