3876 AD: Corruption
May 2025
Our team will take a short break and start establishing OpenSplit on Fiverr as a full-stack web development agency.
From now on you can apply for our services there.
We have completed the game engine for Dark Delver, including the sound system and a clear game loop, the project is now on hold until August; At the moment OpenSplit is just one person (me), and since my own projects do not yet generate any revenue, I have to make a living through freelancing.
In the meantime, I'm now making a much smaller game which I will try to create in about two months using AI assistance. This is also a great opportunity for OpenSplit to start integrating AI-assisted programming into its workflow, helping us to create greater experiences even faster. If you'd like to support my work, you can always help me out with monthly funding on my OpenSplit Official member page or scroll below to fund the games directly.
The game will be very minimalistic in style and gameplay but will make up for it with an immersive atmosphere and good storywriting. Enter the Brianna Wilderness, far away from Jodvik's central city districts, find yourself in a mutated landscape torn apart by centuries of warfare. Do you have what it takes to survive?
3876 AD: Dark Delver
March 2025
Making steady progress with the engine and the game concept as of recently. Here is a showcase of the different things that are already in the game plus some more info about the gameplay and the story. Also, check out my videos on the OpenSplit YouTube Channel for more content about the lore and history.
Basic level loading and object interactions have been added. The player can now look at terminal screens and open/close doors. The next steps are an inventory system, picking up and carrying objects, a robust savegame mechanic and, of course, sounds and music!
Navigation: Make local and long-range scans of your surroundings. This will cost you a lot of power and the more dense the hazardous dark space in the region, the more power will be required. Engage your engines and reach many points of interest even the most distant of stars. Your way back home is still far away.
Generator: Produce as much energy as entire cities with a sophisticated on-board generator. Your ship is heavily damaged and there is a lot to tweak here. Repair, amplify and upgrade the generator to get even more power. From the most basic ship equipment and even your powerful energy weapons, your reserves will drain no time.
Electrolyzer: You are an immortal super soldier, but without breathable air even the mightiest have trouble sustaining themselves. Mass quantities of Hydrogen and Oxygen are also required to build fuel and power cells which will provide your ship with the energy and propulsion it needs to complete your mission.
Gatherer: A lot of equipment has broken down or needs a retro-fit. Use this mining vessel to gather water, metals and silicates. Points of interests will provide you with ample amounts of resources, but beware of dark space. A mass of rogue modification drones which will consume all surrounding matter.
Conveyor: The raw resources are dumped in the Engineering section of the ship. Carry the resources to various processors and build much-needed equipment and materials such as metal and silicate parts, fuel and power cell containers as well as medical equipment.
December 2024
Earlier this year the final concept and a core game mechanic for Dark Delver have been created. Starting January 2025 regular work on Dark Delver will begin, aiming for a release as early as fall 2026. Rough guidelines on the scope of the game have also been established.
This is the Earth Military mining vessel Baldur 67-5 and your main base of operation. Stranded billions of light-years away from Earth, adrift in space with only a flimsy space suit as protection, this autonomous vessel came along just in the nick of time.
You will enter the role of the immortal war hero Kuno Lee'Larson on his quest to eradicate the corruption of dark space in this sector. Steer the space ship from within and manage the various systems, survive and find out what happened.
Use the massive ship and its highly advanced tools to mine resources, establish planetary outposts as you upgrade your spaceship and venture into more dangerous regions. Traveling ever closer the epicenter of the dark space corruption and to your ticket back home.
Eventually you will meet the Orcons, once humans like you, they have been revived form the dead and are now fused within their mechanized combat suits. This isolationist faction is, in fact, the cause of the corruption, as their very technology used for space travel is responsible for it.
In satisfying incremental fashion you can advance the methods of managing your ship systems gradually. By upgrading your tools and technologies you will eventually overcome everything this ruthless world can throw at you, or will you?
- Summer 2022 - Fall 2024
My time spent, mostly involved working on opensplit.com but on the side I had also begun expanding the engine I wanted to create for my game. In time this would eventually become the OpenSplit SDK application now available here.
Satisfied with the engine I was going to be using, I started to focus more on the story and game mechanics as well as the artistic direction I want to lean into. On the side I had also created the official soundtrack for the game.
- Early Development, Fall 2022
Around the time when I started to get the second version of opensplit.com running properly I began integrating ThreeJS to have 3D previews. That was basically also the time when I decided to create a marketplace for models and sounds along the way, it just seemed very natural to go in this direction.
Earliest version ca. April 2022
After learning a bit of Python and using the things I had learned in web so far I started to create some form of game engine. I wanted to continue using JavaScript as I was now very familiar with it. I opted to create a small app that would allow me to do just that.

3876 AD: Origins Story
Image Generated With Stable Diffusion 1.5
At the very end of the 37th century the stories of our old world have long since been forgotten. Over centuries, interplanetary warfare fought with giant machines of destruction had reshaped the surface of Earth. From devastating weaponry to genetic engineering, the world was transformed into an alien place sprawling with artificial life. In a pursuit for ever more destructive power, humans had merged with microscopic combat automatons called modification drones. While enhancing both the body and the mind on a genetic level, humanities new form had also brought about the calamity of corruption.
Driven by this artificial curse, various militant Earth and Moon factions would engage in endless wars of attrition. The corruption of the modification drones had now permeated all matter and all organic life, converging in the very atmosphere and forming an eery black fog looming over the landscape. Even in death, the endless cycle of violence would continue on. Using high tech materials gathered from the many blood-soaked battlefields, the modification drones would revive even the fallen, forever fusing them within mechanized combat suits. With their humanity now lost, those who had resurrected would band together and form an isolationist faction called the Orcons.
During the following centuries of eternal warfare, a group of elite super soldiers and scientists would eventually found the Earth Military and establish themselves as the sole victor of the conflict. In the end all of mankind had been transformed into genetically enhanced weapons of war. A natural death does no longer exist in this world. As an ever-watchful guardian, an eternal light of hope, the Earth Military would prevail, ushering in a new age at the dawn of the year 3876 AD; an era where humanity lives in a legend, that never ends.

Kuno Lee'Larson
Earth Military Commander
The origins of him are unknown, as is usual for the people living after 3876 AD in general. He is one of the founders of the Earth Military. His past was most likely full of misery and death as he is heralded as ancient war hero. It took Larson many decades until he had become resistant to the destructive programming of the modification drones. His awakening had paved the way for this new world to unfold.
Ancient Spirit 564
Orcon Fleet Commander
As most Orcons, after Ancient Spirit 564 had been resurrected by the modification drones he had lost all memories of his former self. His mechanized combat suit fully fused with his body, he was one of the first who had experienced this new fate. Orcons do not have much structure in their society and live both on Earth and in the farthest corners of space. The words of those who hold the title of "Ancient" carry some weight despite all of that.
Cal'Ahdan
Moon Alliance Commander
During the creation of the Earth Military, Jaro has worked alongside Larson as he managed to unify the factions on the Moon, creating a powerful alliance in the process. Once his duties to the Earth Military came to an end his path as a commander for the Moon Alliance was clear as he ventured out into space to explore new frontiers and establish exoplanetary colonies.
Kaya Va'Shar
Earth Military Elite
Fighting at the front during the creation of the Earth Military Kaya is one of the most renowned warriors throughout mankind. Her ability to control the modification drones rivals even those of Larson. After the decisive victory of the Earth Military over all other factions she returned to her home in the Devan Forest where she reigns over the many medieval-like settlements, while keeping the corruption of the modification drones at bay.
Artificial Lifeform "GT"
Earth Military Scientist
GT has provided invaluable research data to the Earth Military and was instrumental in helping Larson understand the state of the world after regaining control over his mind. In an odd twist of events Larson is supposed to be the creator of this artificial being although he has no recollection of it. GT's existence is mysterious and unexplainable, his uniqueness above all. He spends his time in Jodvik, the main capital of Earth, researching gravity, time and space.
Aoi'Zahra
Moon Alliance Administrator
After the unification on the Moon, Zahra was quick to become the main administrator of the western moon provinces. These regions on the moon are crucial to the space exploration efforts of the Moon Alliance, being in charge of deep space mining operations. Frequent bouts with the Orcons as well as the Earth Military over "territorial misunderstandings", have shaped her to be a formidable war ship captain and combat tactician.
Kar'Oh
Earth Military Mercenary
A fierce hybrid-human from the Bahl-Tribe, Kar'Oh is a towering, toxin-resistant warrior bred for war. Silent and stealthy, he excels in reconnaissance but also brutal combat. Loyal to Larson and the Earth Military, his primal strength and resilience made him key in the Ardaman assault and the fight against the plight of the modification drones. Kar'Oh embodies the legacy of Earth's ancient bio-experiments, now fighting to protect mankind’s future.
