Factions

Build your company. Then build it in the world.

An online game about building companies. Players bring ideas to the Mainframe machine, which does the computer work, and raise their companies inside a shared 3D world. The best of them get built for real.

How it works

An idea becomes a company.
The best become real.

  1. Bring an idea

    You build through the Mainframe machine: a self-improving system of AI agents that does the computer work on an idea itself, and sends only the work that truly needs a person to the right one.

  2. Raise it in the world

    Plug your company into Mainframe and it builds that company's version inside the world: a place of its own, with the company's real work on its walls.

  3. The best get built for real

    The strongest companies get physical versions. The machine breaks each build into real-world tasks only people can do, and hands them out to that company's faction.

A faction is the players behind one company.

The centre of the world

A temple for the machine

The world is built around a marble temple, and at its centre stands the Core. Walk up to it and you start an agent.

Every agent works at a desk in the temple. When one needs you, its drone turns red, flies to wherever you are and waits for your answer.

The Core: a glowing gold orb inside brass armillary rings, under a coffered marble dome. A prompt reads: Talk to the Mainframe, start an agent.
The temple at night. A red drone hovers near the Core, waiting with a question for the player.
An agent that needs you flies over.

The world, today

The first companies are already standing

Kingdom Live venue games. Its warehouse's 17 LED walls play Kingdom Live's real scenes.
Inside a bright aircraft hangar with a polished floor: a small white plane, and the company's pages on wall screens.
CurrentAerials An aerial company's hangar: the aircraft on the floor, and computers you walk up to and use.
Inside a dark cinema hall: rows of seats face a big screen playing an animated film, under a lit eightball sign.
Eightball A film studio with a cinema inside, playing every film the company has made.
A white armoured figure on a floating stone platform at sea, building a long ramp of wooden panels into the sky.
The freebuild arena Walls, floors, ramps and edits, built in real time on a platform over the sea.
Over the world at golden hour: the temple, the Kingdom Quest venue, the town and the sea.

Where it stands

Early, and honest about it

Standing today

  • A walkable 3D world, with an Unreal Engine 5.8 client and a web client
  • The temple of the Mainframe machine, where agents work at their desks
  • The first company HQs: Kingdom, CurrentAerials and Eightball
  • The freebuild arena

Not yet

  • Other players, and online play
  • Factions and their mechanics
  • Real-world tasks for the best companies
  • A client for every OS. The Unreal client is Windows-only for now; the web client runs anywhere.

The world is being built now.

Online play and the first factions come next.
