CollapsingWorldGuildmaster

CollapsingWorldGuildmaster is an endless action sandbox set in a shattered, chaotic world that seems unfit for habitation. You explore its procedurally generated landscape, encounter scattered creatures and people trapped there with you, and piece together a hidden story written by one of the world’s inhabitants. Some creatures carry strange messages from unknown sources, and some seem infused with something beyond themselves.

Explore the world

The world is 3D and highly vertical. You run, jump, wallrun, glide and dash between objectives, using physics-based traversal to get around; some adventurers can fly, glide, dash repeatedly through the air, or run and jump off walls. The landscape is infinite and grows stranger the farther you explore.

You can try to find the world’s scattered inhabitants and watch them interact, testing their chaotic, unpredictable abilities. Not every ability is useful on its own, but some can be put to use with creativity. Combat is physics-based, and secret powers can be unlocked to make the journey easier.

Character growth

Equipment, inventory and skills use a limited slot-based system. For example, you can subdue a creature with a strong jump and wear it as a backpack to gain some of that ability, or equip a creature that teleports away on your arm to use its skill. Progression also includes gradual leveling and experience: every character in the world can grow, and each develops in a different way in every playthrough.

Messages and story

The story is hidden in encrypted messages and chapters scattered through the world. You decrypt them and piece together a novel’s worth of hand-written prose, embedded in the artificial world by a character trapped there. You can also encrypt messages of your own.

Guildmaster plans

Planned features include establishing a home base, building training courses and tests with your own objectives, and gathering adventurers to explore the world for you. You will be able to manage relationships with and between creatures, design and manufacture standard equipment, and assign quests for adventurers to find the resources needed to make it. Planned missions include rescuing adventurers in emergencies or after they have fallen. The story is also planned to reveal the nature of the world and your own history, and let you decide what you want for the future.
