The Story

In the year 3099, earth had a major crisis of resources, pollution, and unjust economy. Governments controlled by megatechs invested in creating the ultimate artificial intelligence with a personality to increase their reach in the galaxy.

SAT-V (Super Adaptive Tech), the latest version of artificial intelligence research was designed to overcome perils with unparalleled ingenuity as well as firepower.

Burdened with the task of finding a goldilocks planet of bountiful resources, SAT-V got a mysterious signal of an unknown origin on the outskirts of Titan.

Reaching the destination, SAT-V encountered a portal, a gaping hole in the fabric of spacetime. Without hesitation, it took the first step in the human history and made the perilous jump.

After the spacetime jump, SAT-V had a startling revelation: an unknown entity emerged from SAT-V’s cerebral nexus and took the leading role of her virtual personalities. Providing little information about its origin, the entity gave SAT-V various tasks to reach the final destination, where humanity will be rewarded by supreme beings mentioned as Celestes.

Thus starts the Trail Of Celestes…

See you folks in the next cycle where the story continues ! :)

Beaten Covid and severe depression with game development

Sep 11 2022 News 1 comment

2 years ago, I had to close my yoga classes because of the pandemic. In that period, I got sick (Covid) and have fallen into the clutches of severe depression. That is when I decided to focus my ‘chi’ to game programming.

(Edit: If you want to check out or Wishlist/Buy my game, here is the Steam link : Store.steampowered.com )

Unreal Engine 4 was fun to learn and I have put goals to create the game of my dreams on PC (Timewell: Trail of Celestes). The process changed my life view: everything is within our reach as long as we constantly step forward.

I organized the whole creation process by cutting it into smaller tasks. The story, visual elements, game mechanics, environmental design, sound effects, musical score and user interface. And I have realized that the internet was full of amazing souls who were willing to teach freely.

When it was darkest, a beloved friend of mine came to my rescue with his craft and UI designs. Countless hours of brainstorming led us to an ever-evolving design of a game. When it was finished, the relief came as the pride and joy of accomplishing one of the hardest things in my life.
