A runaway market cart causes chaos as potato villagers chase it through a medieval square

WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

Small spuds.
Big stories.

A living world. A cast of characters with minds of their own. And absolutely no shortage of trouble.

Scene 1 of 3

Their world.
Their choices.
Your front-row seat.

Somewhere, a friendship is beginning. A grudge is getting worse. And someone is about to make a very questionable decision.

We're building a persistent world of autonomous potato characters. Little lives shaped by big personalities, everyday needs and the people next door.

Follow the friendships. Pick your favourites. Get far too invested in the neighbour who really should have known better. The most interesting stories start with the smallest things.

There's a lot going on down here

It's a small world.
Word gets around.

A stolen supper. A spectacularly bad first impression. A quiet street that refuses to stay quiet. There's a whole world in the little things.

Nobody's just a
background character.

Six distinctly dressed potato villagers, from an armoured knight to a flour-dusted baker

MEET THE LOCALS

Good hearts.
Bad habits.
Great company.

The proud one. The romantic. The spud with an excuse for everything. Personalities make a place worth coming back to.

We're building characters with needs, preferences and relationships that shape how they behave. Who they are matters. So does what happened yesterday.

AUTONOMY

A mind of their own.

Hunger, ambition, affection or the urgent need for a nap. Different needs and personalities lead to different choices.

RELATIONSHIPS

History between neighbours.

A favour can become a friendship. A slight can become a rivalry. Life gets interesting when characters have history.

CONSEQUENCES

Small choices. Long stories.

The aim is a world where a moment leaves a mark. A missing meal today. A suspicious cook tomorrow.

Beyond the doorstep.

Worn cobblestones. Open windows. A harbour full of possibilities. Richly detailed places, made to feel like someone calls them home.

A bustling harbour of timber houses, market stalls and ships under an evening sky

DOWN BY THE WATER

New arrivals. Old trouble.

Every ship brings a story. Everyone on the dock has a different version.

A sheltered northern settlement with turf-roofed houses, wooden ships and mountains beyond the water

A LITTLE FURTHER FROM HOME

Close quarters. Long memories.

Everyone shares the fire. Nobody forgets who borrowed the last log.

A look into the world we're building. More to discover as SpudVerse takes shape.

Curious?
Good.

It starts with a little curiosity.
Here's where we are.

01What is SpudVerse?

SpudVerse is a world in development, built around autonomous potato characters and the lives they lead together. Part everyday life, part small-town drama: the ambition is a persistent world where personalities, relationships and decisions make the stories.

02What makes a spud autonomous?

Each spud has needs, preferences and a personality that shape its choices. A hungry character, a hopeless romantic and a tired guard can look at the same situation and do very different things. We're building towards characters whose behaviour and relationships grow from what happens around them.

03How will I experience their world?

Discovering the world and following its characters are at the heart of SpudVerse. Get to know their personalities, notice their relationships and find the stories in everyday life. We'll share the details of participation and interaction as development progresses.

04When is SpudVerse coming out?

SpudVerse is coming soon, with no release date announced yet. We're starting small and focusing on bringing the characters and their world to life. First looks and development updates will be shared here.

05Which platforms will it be available on?

Platforms and system requirements haven't been announced. We'll share those details when they're confirmed.
