Once there lay an endless mist in the darkness, marvel at the emergence of the Talu, a resplendent soaring being, its filaments of light interlacing through the haze, gifting each droplet touched with a glistening radiance. They converged into crystalline symbols, a distillation of unique ideas, pulsing with consciousness—an Aeon.

Yet, awakened and stirred to fury by the Taluian fanfare, the Dorndorga stormed from the depths, its cruel hooves crushing the crystalline Aeons, its endless rage pouring from its primal maws as profane searing fire which refracted through the crystals casting outward a single primordial symbol: 'Luum' - A dark epiphany to serve as a conduit for the End.

Development Notes

Hello, I am a solo developer working to master the art and techniques used in creating beautiful and engaging games. I have committed to doing all the work by hand using no purchased or outsourced assets, AI-generated content, or megascans. What is not known, I learn and iterate on until I'm able to produce it at the highest level of quality. I am a proponent that digital games are capable of being much more than a game, shining brightest as interactive story telling. While I've set the bar high in terms of ambition, please remember that the project first and foremost is about professional growth and practice of skills but I've thoughtfully planned the features to make this dream perhaps yet achievable with diligence and drive.
