Basic Theory


So time to talk again though I should do this more. The theory behind the concept of this game is to create an artificial ego system which players are able to interact and participate in a way which is constantly changing and evolving using some metaphysical belief and abstract concepts within this. While yes this makes it sound like a game which will be hard for players to fallow its actually structured in an expansive nature with the help of programs like Houdini and articy draft. below will add some photos to show the abstract evolution of what is hopefully to be achieved over time but this is not something that is ever expected to stop growing if the momentum is established.

while much of this is taken from many different places would like to point out some finer things to consider when looking at the chart or the world blue print. First off is that with the chart it starts from the bottom up, and everything moving up is containing inside it also that which came before hand. meaning that if the world itself is at the artisan level for example than all the servant information is also valid. The information is also meant to flow in a way which connects what is above and below each layer in a holistic way while also connecting some groups together through other means like lets say the king and warrior connected through action.

the best way to explain it is that this chart kinda works like the kabbalah tree of life. Also contains the concept of chakras, spiritual types, game play styles, metaphysical progression etc. this is by no means meant to be exactly what it is believed in the real world since this is for game proposes and is with that intent meant to be a framing device for game concepts to be worked with. This will be explained further as things go forward.

In December trying to get a stream going where i can work on this while talking about what it is being worked on and updates to more talks about the theory but for now its a start. just trying to push myself to continue forwards with letting people see even though im the only one here at the moment. Till the next post.

Here's a peaceful little forest scene for this #screenshotsaturday, from the beginning of the game.

Heya! I wanted to show some gameplay progress i made so far. I hope you like it ^^

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.

Hi everyone! I started to create some environment props for my new video game, here is a cozy house in the forest. I'm planning to switch from Unity to Unreal... Let's see what new challenges I have to face. Made in Blender and Substance Painter.

Why walk when you can jump?

Very ambitious construction going on in Planet Zoo on Plays today. We're tryin'. LIVE: www.twitch.tv/dreamhackplays
