This game is the work of a solo developer with years of experience in storytelling design, and worldbuilding. Leveraging AI in every form— from procedural content generation to rapid prototyping and voice acting. This stage is focused entirely on proving the core concept of the game which will be linked to the book that the story is based on.Some of the current game assets are placeholders and will be replaced with original high-quality art in later stages of development.Stay tuned! Posted by seekertheguardian10 on May 5th, 2025 This game is being developed by a solo creator with over a decade of experience in storytelling, worldbuilding, and interactive media. Passionate about immersive narratives and sci-fi worlds, the developer is using AI in every form possible—from concept art and writing to prototyping and asset generation—to bring this vision to life quickly and efficiently. The game is based on an upcoming original sci-fi novel titled The Guardian of the Rift, set to release in the future. The story-driven experience will eventually span over 27 explorable planets, each with its own factions, environments, and secrets. For now, development is focused on building out the first playable world, the planet of Thal`ros, as a proof of concept. Some of the current visuals, audio, and animations are temporary, AI-assisted placeholders. Once the concept is solidified, every asset will be revisited or fully replaced to meet a high production standard, hopefully by a larger development team. A free, playable demo is expected to release in 2025 or 2026, giving players an early look into this vast, evolving universe. The demo will include a mission that will portray the first 4 pages of the book, and for extended replayability multiple side missions will be added that are linked to the story. This project is both a creative endeavor and a technical experiment-proving that with modern tools and a strong vision, a single developer can build something truly ambitious. But this journey isn't one I can complete alone. Without your support, feedback, and passion for unique storytelling, this universe can't reach its full potential. Whether you're here to follow the development, share your thoughts, or just explore a new world-you are a vital part of this project. Every download, comment, and share brings this vision one step closer to reality. Together, we can shape something truly special. Thank You! #guardian #rift
