The "Lonely Robot" design catalog

-Forward-

Hello! This little corner of the site is gonna be used to document this project! I want to start off with an explenation of what this project is, and my goals with it.

The Lonely Robot (still workshoping the name) is a world building + maybe a game, that revolves around a small robot that is tasked to climb a gigantic tower so that he can find a cure to his makers illness. I'm mainly using this to improve my creature design, and environment design skills, so don't expect many human characters because I'm not really focused on that right now.

I've recently been watching a lot of speculative biology videos on youtube, and they've inspired me to try my hand at creating my own ecosystem. The lore will revolve around the tower, and it's unique bioms. Due to the towers isolation from the outside world, the inhabitants of the tower have developed unique adaptations(phsysical + behavioral) that are not seen anywhere else on the planet. I've also been inspired by games like Rainworld or Jusant and Tsutomu Nihei's manga Blame! to create a vast world that is both beautiful and dangerous.

I also maybe want to make this into a game, but I'm still not completely sure if I really want to take the time to develop it. I'm not super interested in coding it, but I still want to explore it's game design, and how I can make cool mechanics that revolve around environmental exploration, and creature interaction. It's a pain in the butt, but I still want to try my hand at it. I'll still try and explore the game design, by making little diagrams, and doodles, but I'm still hesitant at actually polishing it into an game. If I do decide to start development, I'll probably ask some other people to do the programming for me, because I don't want to go insane.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy the designs, and lore that I'll be coming up with!
