A video game set in Australia
vertic
vertic is a video game in active development, built around the everyday landscapes, architecture and natural light of Australia.
The setting
Australia is the foundation of the game
The world of vertic is grounded directly in Australian landscapes and everyday environments. Its places are meant to feel lived in, not borrowed as scenery.
The project focuses on authentic regional light, architecture and native geography rather than postcard clichés.
The game world
Built from real places
Three confirmed foundations shape how the world looks and feels.
Environment
Authentic landscapes
Regional terrain and everyday settings are modelled on how Australian places actually look and feel underfoot.
Flora
Native vegetation
Eucalyptus, scrub and grasses are placed to reflect regional growth rather than generic fantasy foliage.
Light
Natural daylight
Lighting follows the clear, hard-edged sun and believable shade of Australian days.
