- Introducing Open Robot: Genesis - 1 September 2025
Hello everyone,I wanted to share a quick update on the development of Open Robot: Genesis. It’s been quite a journey building this game, and I'm getting closer to sharing it with more people.Open Robot: Genesis is a third-person adventure where you play as Theo, fighting to protect his daughter and team in a world facing technological collapse. The game combines action combat with a story-driven quest system set within an open world.I’m currently working towards getting the game into the hands of some players for initial feedback. I'm planning to launch a small Playtest Event in the coming days. It will be a limited opportunity, perhaps more in the near future, hoping to gather valuable insights to help shape the game moving forward. Following this, I will be releasing a demo soon after.Open Robot: Genesis is a passion project and I want to deliver a quality experience that you will enj…
