3.0 Is coming and its our biggest release ever!
Alpha testing was a huge success and 3.0 is a direct reflection of testing feedback. We're making the system easier to use, making it more fun to create, and shoving enough AI into the system to cause a singularity.
Boring feature lists below, but check out our test cyberpunk scene after the newest graphical overhaul!

We hope you're at least interested by this point!
We know IndieDB is where Indie Developers of all scales show off their goodies and as such, we will mostly use this platform to specifically interact with the developer community.
As a UGC Platform - we live and die by the quality of the games created on our platform, and this seems like a great place to start finding our new best friends!
Unity Devs/Game Developers - if you're working on a game and you're having problems getting it finished, or are just starting out and lack deep engineering expertise, consider shooting us a message. We are actively seeking partners in the indie dev community to port their existing games entirely into our platform. We would love to help you move your game into the platform and take advantage of all of the out-of-the-box features you would get!
- No Code Behaviors - Drop downs, AI Assistance and no code functions
- We are on PS5 / PSVR2 - Monetize your game on more platforms than just steam!
- VR Works out of the box - we do all the conversions in the project for you (even UIs as needed)
- Networking - Scalable real time UDP networking comes for free and requires no configuration, you can totally control how your game loads!
- Raytracing - We do all the configurations at runtime to update shaders, etc, to HDRP - your game will look better than you ever thought possible!
- Drag And Drop within Unity - If you're a unity developer, you can literally drag and drop your entire game (minus the code) straight into the platform, tied right to your account. We provide a Unity plugin that does everything for you!
There are so many more advantages to choosing the Platform to publish your game with. Additionally, we have successfully closed an angel round of funding and are leveraging those new connections to secure awesome partnerships!
An official Developer Beta Link will be coming soon. (Pre-registration for June Beta starts soon) But if you can't wait and want to know more, shoot us a message.
We would love to talk!
