Playable prototype
The game has an existing Godot prototype. A public review build is not linked on this site yet.
A clear next step.
A focused scope.
An existing prototype, an established art direction and a five-level vertical slice in preparation.
PROJECT STATUS
IN DEVELOPMENTVisual direction & production references
Wax & Ink is the selected style. Character studies, environment references and modular asset planning support the next production stage.
Five-level vertical slice
The next milestone brings five distinct environments into a coherent, polished playable slice. These levels are not presented as complete.
PC & Android performance
PC and mid-range Android devices are the targets. Device testing and measured performance are still required; no final specifications are announced.
THE VERTICAL SLICE
Five environments.
One cohesive world.
Explore the planned scope. Each environment shares the core mechanics and production language.
STONE / TIMBER / ASH
Settlement
Timber, stone and the traces of everyday life.
A residential edge of the same lost civilisation. Modular walls, roof shapes and everyday objects establish a reusable foundation.
PLANNED FOR THE VERTICAL SLICEROOT / BARK / EARTH
Forest
Bare roots, dead trees and an open silhouette language.
An environment shaped by negative space. Bare branches, roots and rock formations carry the mood while keeping routes legible.
PLANNED FOR THE VERTICAL SLICEROCK / IRON / DUST
Mines
Rock, supports and compressed underground spaces.
A tighter visual rhythm built from rock faces, supports and rails. Shared materials link the underground space back to the settlement.
PLANNED FOR THE VERTICAL SLICERUST / BRICK / SOOT
Industrial city
Cold machinery, brickwork and rusted infrastructure.
Larger silhouettes and mechanical forms expand the visual scale. Pipes and cold machinery suggest industry without adding new gameplay systems.
PLANNED FOR THE VERTICAL SLICESTONE / WAX / SILENCE
Temple
Stone vaults, sculptural forms and restrained ornament.
A quieter composition of vertical stone forms and carefully placed detail. The same material rules keep it part of a single world.
PLANNED FOR THE VERTICAL SLICEPRODUCTION PRIORITIES
Where support
moves us forward.
Turn the existing foundation into a polished, testable experience.
- Game-ready characters and modular environment assets.
- Level integration, gameplay clarity and interaction feedback.
- Animation, visual effects and audio polish.
- Playtesting, quality assurance and device performance validation.
These are priorities for the next stage, not a priced funding allocation. Funding amount and scope will be discussed directly.
HOW WE ARE APPROACHING PRODUCTION
Reuse with purpose
Shared modules, material families and a consistent shape language keep the five environments part of one production system.
Design for the camera
Characters and hazards need to read from the actual game view, including on smaller screens. Close-up art is only one part of that work.
Validate in the build
Art targets become useful when integrated, playable and tested. The next stage needs performance evidence as well as visual polish.
PROJECT REVIEW
Let’s discuss
the next milestone.
Contact Davit to discuss the prototype, production needs and potential funding. A downloadable build and gameplay video will be added when they are prepared for review.
