AUGMENTED

The BEAverse has always been more than a collection of separate stories. It is a living, interconnected universe of distant worlds, ancient histories, powerful civilizations, recurring characters, hidden forces, and events whose consequences reach across generations. This game is being created to open that universe to you in an entirely new way—not simply as a story you read, but as a world you can step into, explore, survive, and experience for yourself.

Built in Unreal Engine, the project is envisioned as a massive open-world, third-person shooter and survival experience set in a distant alien future. You will be able to travel through environments previously seen only through my writing and artwork, encounter the dangers that inhabit them, uncover pieces of their history, and experience the conflicts shaping the greater BEAverse from within.

Development begins on Nempir, a remote northern stronghold featured prominently within the Augmented and TH.I.R.T.E.E.N. storylines. It is a vast and unforgiving region shaped by brutal conditions, concealed power, buried secrets, and an ancient presence that feels older than the world itself. What begins there is intended to grow far beyond a single location, gradually transforming the people, places, creatures, technology, and history of the BEAverse into a living interactive world.

The videos below are not intended to present a polished or finished game. They document the long process of shaping it—building environments, developing gameplay systems, testing ideas, learning new techniques, solving technical problems, overcoming limitations, tracking down unexpected bugs, and enduring every Murphy’s Law moment that appears along the way. They capture the distance between imagination and execution: the setbacks, discoveries, breakthroughs, revisions, and countless small victories required to bring an enormous fictional universe to life.

This is the BEAverse under construction.

Follow the development videos below and watch as a world once confined to novels, artwork, and imagination gradually becomes a place you will be able to enter.
