THE BROKEN
KING
A dark, systems-driven 3D action roguelike where ritual spaces, light, blood and combat systems are built to feel like parts of the same world. We are shaping a distinctive visual identity rather than following a genre template.

NCSTUDIO · TWO DISCIPLINES
ENGINEERING
MEETS
ART.
Code, systems and visual craft share one production language.
We treat tools, gameplay, character work, environments, performance and visual direction as connected parts of every world we build.
ART
Direction, modeling, texturing, composition and distinctive world building.
ONE IDENTITY
Technology and art developed together instead of as separate layers.

VISUAL SYSTEMS.
BUILT TO PLAY.
A closer look at the custom tools and effects behind The Broken King.
We prototype art and engineering together in Unity, then profile every system until its visual impact, gameplay response and hardware cost feel equally intentional.
UNITY CAPTURE · REAL-TIME
EXPERIMENT 01 · METABALL BLOOD
ONE ORGANIC MASS.
MANY MOVING PARTS.
Controlled influence fields let separate droplets merge into a continuous form, while a custom material gives the blood its surface and motion. The active area and update budget stay bounded, preserving the look without paying for a full fluid simulation.

UNITY CAPTURE · INTERACTIVE
EXPERIMENT 02 · INTERACTIVE FOG
ATMOSPHERE THAT
RESPONDS TO PLAY.
A constrained interaction layer lets nearby gameplay disturb density and falloff, so movement opens readable trails through the fog. By keeping sampling local and tunable, the response stays immediate and its GPU cost remains predictable.
