  Cyber-Womb and Cracked Ego: Designing Locus Equation's Inner Voices

  Six voices. One protagonist. Today, we want to show you how we created the inner voices of the protagonist in Locus Equation—the voices that will accompany them throughout the entire adventure. The protagonist is not human, but an anthropod: a synthetic life form created by a highly advanced AI named Cell as part of the diplomatic project MIR (Mutual Interspecific Restoration), intended to put a definitive end to the exhausting and senseless wars across the inter-locus system. A little context: anthropods are printed on a bioprinter. Ninety-six percent of their consciousness is housed in an organic substrate, while the remaining four percent resides on a qubit chip directly linked to the brain. In the story, the AI that created the protagonist receives a mysterious distress signal and dispatches a capsule carrying the hero. To unravel the mystery behind that signal, the protagonist is aided—and sometimes challenged—by six inner sub-personalities. Below, each final portrait is preceded by development sheets from the concept process, so you can see how the ideas evolved from the first sketch to the current design. 1. RAZUM — intellect As the name suggests, RAZUM champions intellect and rationality and can, at times, become a little—or more than a little—pedantic. How strong that tendency becomes depends on how often the player chooses RAZUM's lines. Our first three explorations will not make it into the final build. We wanted to connect the two hemispheres like magnetic fields—the strange arcs of iron filings you might remember from physics class—but we overcomplicated the idea. Just a little. :) The artist wrestled with it until we realised that the problem was not the execution, but the concept itself. When we rebooted the idea, the solution turned out to have been right under our noses: RAZUM is a mental labyrinth, where golden sparks of ideas race through cool blue corridors. That is how we arrived at the final palette. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45645122/ff104a03fa4c16be...

  The Planet of Endless Evening: 20 Settlers, 19 Years of Silence

  Why did a highly advanced AI of the future create the protagonist? Why did she send the Droplet with him to an unknown planet in the most distant locus of the Galaxy? And why did the Droplet crash? How did twenty settlers end up on this same world, and why have they been unable to contact the outside world for 19 years? And the most important question: how — and for what reason — do you help people who no longer believe in rescue and have resigned themselves to a slow death far from the developed world?In fall 2026, you will step into the role of an agent of the MIR diplomatic mission (Mutual Interspecific Restoration). On this difficult journey, six sub-personalities will accompany you—RAZUM (intelligence), ABYSS (depression and pessimism), OBRAZ (creativity and faith in this world), EGO, GAMMA (emotion and kindness), and NUTRO (guts and assertiveness). Each of them argues, advises, and tries to influence your decisions. You will broker negotiations among colonists, repair broken chains of trust, and unravel the mystery of a tropical planet of unending dusk.Add Locus Equation to your wishlist so you don’t miss the next update with fresh screenshots and development progress!
