This is a project I've been working on since April 2024. It's probably the longest-running personal project I've ever done and has been a monumental undertaking so far.
I'm unsure how much I want to reveal about this project while I'm developing it, I want the experience to be as novel as possible once it's out. I think I'll probably stick to posting about it here on my site and the occasional YouTube video until it's closer to ready.
NIX AVREA is the codename for my first game project. The game is highly experimental and features mechanics that (as far as I know) have never been attempted. The game is centered around dynamic content, using steganographic techniques to embed binary payloads inside of asset files in order to construct the game world from a directory on the player's filesystem.
There is a ton of stuff that's already implemented for this project and I'll gradually add more to the following directories explaining in-depth some of the components:
+-- mechanics/
+-- design/
+-- narrative/
