What you're backing

An original IP built to become a transmedia franchise

We're building the game first — a premium action-RPG for wide, global appeal, set in Nelethar, an original high-fantasy world with Balkan and South Slavic roots, 14 years in the making. From there the IP is built to spin out across media: comics, an animated series, novels, board games and beyond. The game proves the world; the franchise is the upside.

We're evolving the action-RPG genre through integral game design and storytelling.

Early-stage development — not the final look. These are tech builds. Art, lighting and animation are still in progress.
Earlier tech build Earlier tech build of Godforged: flat grey stone ruins, basic lighting
Current tech build Current tech build of Godforged: richer lighting, atmosphere and effects

Same engine, a few months apart — richer environments, lighting, effects and readability. Still early; the final game will go further.
