Design Icon

Creative Design

Our design strategy is based on designing experiences that push players cognitively while nevertheless being emotionally interesting. We think that simple game rules and environmental narrative have great power.

Level Architecture

Creating rational and passable impossible environments that challenge physical rules.

Puzzle Mechanics

Design multi-layered tasks with an eye on experimenting instead of direct instruction.

Visual Storytelling

Storytelling via architectural decisions, contextual elements, and visual analogues.

User Experience

Designing interfaces that stay understandable even in a game environment run under different guidelines.

Our Design Philosophy:

"The best games, in our opinion, help players to see the surroundings differently. Every task in Gravity Shift aims to test players' presumptions on object behavior in space and increase their awareness of spatial linkages."
Art Icon

Visual Arts

Our art team creates visually spectacular environments that support and improve gameplay by fusing modern technology with classic artistic ideas. Our expertise is developing coherent visual languages for abstract ideas.

Dimensional Aesthetics

Every dimension expresses its gravitational characteristics and narrative relevance through a distinct visual identity.

Particle Systems

Dynamic visual effects responding to gravitational changes and provide gameplay feedback.

Lighting Design

Environmental lighting that directs player focus and accentuates the unearthly character of every scene.

Material Innovation

Previous Projects & Concepts

An exhibition of our experimental gaming ideas and creative process.

Gravity Well (2022)

Game Jam Prototype

Gravity Shift's original prototype inspired the development of Designed for the GMTK Game Jam in 48 hours, this little yet powerful game unveiled our basic gravity manipulation system.

Key Features:

  • Dice-based gravity direction system
  • 5 unique puzzle chambers
  • Minimalist visual design
  • Physics-based object interaction

Impact & Recognition:

  • Ranked in top 10% of over 6,000 submissions
  • Featured in multiple indie game showcases
  • Secured initial funding for full development
  • Inspired the expanded universe of Gravity Shift

Lessons Learned:

This project let us realize how important accurate visual feedback is for changes in spatial orientation. Players required instantaneous knowledge of how gravity changes their movement, which drove our creation of the gravitational field visualization system applied in Gravity Shift.

Elemental Convergence

Concept Project

An ambitious idea for a puzzle-platformer whereby players address environmental problems by manipulating classical elements (fire, water, earth, air). This project created many of our fundamental design ideas even though it is never totally realized.

Conceptual Framework:

  • Four interconnected elemental realms
  • Transformation-based puzzle mechanics
  • Environmental storytelling through elemental interactions
  • Dynamic weather and seasonal systems

Design Innovations:

  • Developed the "Convergence Theory" of puzzle design
  • Created modular level architecture system
  • Established our environmental narrative methodology
  • Pioneered our approach to teaching through experimentation

Legacy in Current Work:

Many ideas from Elemental Convergence find expression in Gravity Shift. Our five dimensions emerged from the concept of several linked worlds, and the transformation mechanics developed into our gravity control mechanism. The emphasis of the project on environmental storytelling clearly affected our method of narrative design.

Quantum Echoes

Experimental Prototype

An experimental investigation of puzzle game time modification mechanisms. This prototype looked at how time mechanics may produce original gaming difficulties and narrative possibilities..

Experimental Mechanics:

  • Time rewind with persistent object states
  • Temporal echo creation and manipulation
  • Causality-based puzzle solutions
  • Non-linear narrative progression

Technical Challenges:

  • Memory management for temporal state storage
  • Consistent physics simulation across time states
  • User interface design for temporal mechanics
  • Performance optimization for complex state tracking

Research Outcomes:

Although Quantum Echoes never became a full game, our capacity to control the multi-dimensional physics of Gravity Shift directly resulted from our study of sophisticated state management and user mental models. The project strengthened our conviction that creative mechanics had to be matched with unambiguous visual communication.
