This project is in early development, currently in the prototyping phase.
Architects of Giants is a聽cooperative third-person survival base-building聽game in which players embark on an epic survival journey aboard a colossal walking Giant. In this adventure, Team up online and form your unique squad of squirrels engineers, tasked with constructing and guiding a聽massive wood and iron Giant聽across treacherous landscapes during a grand pilgrimage to save a dying world.
As squirrel Architects, players will聽glide through the skies,聽scale towering limbs, and utilize their聽grappling hook聽to explore the environment. They will strategically build and maintain their colossal companion by collecting resources from beneath this moving giant, managing its engine, and making critical decisions: should they upgrade limbs for better mobility, enhance senses for greater environmental awareness, or create climbing aids for easier traversal?
The world of AOG is going through an聽ecological catastrophe: plants are dying and animals are mutated by a mysterious聽corruption. The Architects are on a聽redemption journey聽to restore life to the world and cleanse the miasma after realising their careless industrial development impacted the entire ecosystem.
From the secluded safety of their forest, they must journey out into the wider and wilder world, on a quest to bring the beating Heartfruit to dying Keytrees. The only vessel strong enough to carry this precious cargo, and keep it alive, is a Giant. The Architects must use their inventive engineering skills, and a unique array of organic and inorganic parts collected from their surroundings, to construct a Giant and place the Heartfruit in its chest before they can set off.
To survive this epic journey, the Architects must continuously聽adapt their Giant to the challenging terrain,聽nourish the Giant and its Heart, and聽defend against the corrupted flora and fauna聽that would thwart them. Along the way, players will find blueprints hidden in the natural environment and gather the resources to upgrade their Giant.
