Coming 2027

ANCIENT TERRA GAME

A procedural voxel universe. One seamless galaxy.

An open-world survival and building RPG set in an infinite, seed-generated cosmos. Mine, craft, build, and survive on spherical planets — then launch into orbit and fly to another star system without a single loading screen.

The Vision

Endless exploration, creativity, and evolution in a living cosmos shaped by your choices.

Ancient Terra Game is a procedurally generated open-world RPG set in an infinite, dynamic universe. Players explore diverse planets, build civilizations, and shape ecosystems while interacting with characters, factions, and stories.

Every planet is a real place — a spherical voxel world with its own climate, biomes, ores, and wildlife. Gather resources, craft tools and weapons, raise shelters against the night, then fuel your ship and burn for orbit. Star systems, moons, and asteroid belts are all destinations in one continuous galaxy — real-time space travel, no loading screens.

Built on our own C++ engine — not Unity, not Unreal — so the universe can be truly seamless: one seed generates everything from galaxy arms down to the grain of each block.

What We've Built

The engine and the core game are real and playable today — every system below already runs in the current build.

✓Custom Voxel Engine

  • Own C++20 engine — SDL3 + bgfx renderer
  • Spherical cube planets: 6 faces of streamed 16³ chunks
  • Real gravity, collision, caves, jumping
  • Save/load with world backup & recreate
  • Automated test suite + smoke tests

✓Seamless Galaxy

  • Seed-generated galaxies → sectors → star systems → planets & moons
  • Fly surface → orbit → system → galaxy in continuous space
  • Launch burns smelted ship fuel; land by capture sphere
  • Procedural planet/moon/star visuals from the same seed

✓Mine, Craft & Build

  • 68 blocks incl. depth-banded ore veins
  • Digging with crack overlay & debris bursts
  • Furnace smelting + workbench assembly
  • 16 colored stained-glass recipes
  • 3 texture packs: default, stylized, realistic

✓Survival & Combat

  • Health, hunger, thirst & air stats
  • Pickaxe tiers wood → obsidian
  • Swords, bow & arrows, shields, armor sets
  • Hostile mobs: wolf packs, ice wraith, sand wurm, fire elemental, mimics, skeletons & more

✓Living Wildlife

  • 31 species — farm animals, wildlife, insects, aquatic & fantasy
  • 6 sex/age variants per species
  • Herds, flocks, schools, packs & colonies
  • Walkers, flyers, swimmers with procedural animation

✓Inventory & Gear

  • 10-cell hotbar + full item catalog
  • Drag & drop, 4 armor slots
  • Tools, weapons & instruments in-hand models
  • 24-player-skin wardrobe

✓Multiplayer

  • Headless server, authoritative simulation
  • Chunk streaming + interest-following prefetch
  • Player state, gear & skin sync
  • Latency-tolerant, reconnect-safe protocol

✓World Variety

  • Planet climates, habitability & biome regions
  • Landform morphology — real terrain relief
  • Barren, frozen, volcanic & living worlds
  • Asteroid belts & mineable meteorites

✓Cinematic Teasers

  • 9 scripted showcase demos (odyssey, galaxies, worlds, animals…)
  • Non-blocking screenshot capture
  • Headless catalog & smoke-test harnesses

Roadmap to 2027

Milestones are ordered by technical risk — each phase gates on a playable result, not a calendar date.

Done

Phase 1 — Foundations

Technical contract and platform proof.

  • Planet model decided: spherical cube-based worlds
  • C++20 + SDL3 + bgfx stack running on Windows
  • Input, storage, lifecycle & smoke tests
Done

Phase 2 — Voxel Core

The editable world itself.

  • Seeded chunked terrain, streaming & meshing
  • Dig, place, collide — edits persist to disk
  • 64-bit hierarchical coordinates
Done

Phase 3 — The Galaxy

Exploration as a core engine capability.

  • Hierarchical seeded universe & catalog
  • Seamless planet ↔ system ↔ galaxy flight
  • Varied planets: climate, biomes, geology
Done

Phase 4 — Vertical Slice

A real gameplay loop, start to finish.

  • Gather → craft → build → survive → explore
  • Inventory, gear, survival stats, animals & mobs
  • Skins, texture packs, settings & menus
Done

Phase 5 — Multiplayer

Shared worlds over the network.

  • Headless server on the shared simulation
  • Authoritative edits, chunk streaming, reconnects
  • Players in different systems at once
In Progress

Phase 6 — Content Expansion

Growing the world toward the full design.

  • NPCs: merchants, guards, healers, quests
  • Farming, food & cooking; new tool classes
  • Transport: boats, mounts, balloons
  • Interactives: doors, traps, portals, furniture
Planned

Phase 7 — Everywhere

One engine, every screen.

  • Linux, macOS, Android & iOS builds
  • Localization, accessibility & quality presets
  • Save migration & crash diagnostics
Planned · 2027

Phase 8 — Launch

From engine to game in players' hands.

  • Steam page, demo & wishlists
  • Release on PC & mobile — iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Linux

What We Have To Do

The honest backlog — everything designed and still waiting for its build.

World & Environment

  • Named trees & ground cover: oak, pine, birch, palm, willow, baobab, ferns, moss
  • Aquatic & alien flora: kelp, lotus, bioluminescent plants
  • Generate decorative/organic/fantasy blocks into terrain
  • Mana & space-oxygen survival stats

Gameplay Systems

  • Farming: seeds, saplings, crops, irrigation, beehives
  • Cooking & full food roster: fruits, vegetables, rare legendaries
  • More tools (axes, shovels, hammers) & weapons (spears, explosives)
  • Anvil, crucible & purifier stations

Life & Civilization

  • NPCs: merchants, guards, healers, miners, quest givers
  • Remaining creatures: undead, fantasy, magic & alien mobs
  • Bosses: overlord, tree guardian, titan
  • Tameable animals & mounts

Transport & Interactives

  • Boats, canoes & ferries; wagons & mounts
  • Balloons, jetpacks & air transport
  • Doors, levers, ladders, traps, bridges
  • Portals, altars, signs, furniture, instruments

Platforms & Polish

  • Validate Linux, macOS, Android & iOS presets
  • Touch controls & mobile performance budgets
  • Localization & accessibility pass
  • Signed, reproducible release packages

Community & Launch

  • Steam page, press kit & demo build
  • Public test builds & feedback loop
  • Voice control & adaptive AI stories — post-launch vision
