DEVLOG-4: Building the Backbone, Forging the Fun, and Hardening the Pipeline
Building the Backbone, Forging the Fun, and Hardening the Pipeline (October 2025)We've finished the main map, stitched in helper scenes and core helper mechanics (the game's backbone), and we're deep in production on signature game mechanics-the “one more run” loop that'll make our Web3 title sing. In parallel, the design team is sculpting one of the main characters. We also navigated two security incidents-Microsoft's CVE-2025-55315 and a recent npm supply-chain attack-and shipped mitigations within hours, costing us 1-3 days but keeping us on track. [1]
DEVLOG-3: New Worlds, Rare Loot, and a Team Rhythm That Scales
Building a living game world means moving many parts in lockstep: artists delivering performant environments, engineers translating design into reliable systems, and designers assembling it all into playable moments. This month, our pipeline hit three milestones: (1) new asset packages for an undisclosed planet surface, community hubs, and mystical spaces; (2) a rare items & collectibles system now in active development; and (3) a tight team cadence of daily check-ins and bi-weekly sprints to keep every feature flowing from prototype to production with minimal friction [1][2].
DEVLOG-2: From Concept to Prototype
Inside our asset pipeline, algorithm-first engineering, and Unity-powered collaboration-and why they put us on track for a fully playable prototype by Q4 2025.
DEVLOG-1: An Initial Dive into Orion's Gate Studio's Development Pipeline
Great games are equal parts art, engineering, and economics. At Orion's Gate Studio we weave these strands together with a carefully curated tech stack that spans front-end design, back-end micro-services and on-chain tokenomics. The result is a pipeline that lets designers iterate rapidly, engineers scale confidently, and players own a real stake in the worlds we build. Below we break down each layer of that pipeline and share the open-source best practices that inspire our approach.
