Q&A

How long have you been planning to work on Terra?

Terra has been in my mind for years, and I finally have the opportunity to bring it to life.

I've always been fascinated by the idea of exploring vast worlds and creating unique experiences. An open world adventure allows players to immerse themselves in a rich and expansive environment.

Terra will feature a beautiful low-poly art style that I love and will allow me to showcase my creativity. Additionally, the open world nature of the game will provide players with endless possibilities and opportunities for exploration and development.
