Background

Where other games give you a recipe,
Diffland gives you a canvas.

A vast-scale sandbox game where you explore a realistic, AI-generated world and invent its technology from first principles.

A New Kind of Sandbox

Diffland is built on three core pillars that combine to create a deeply emergent and endlessly replayable experience. Your world, your rules, your discoveries.

Explore an Uncharted World

Navigate a seamless, near-infinite landscape that looks and feels like real satellite imagery. The world is a puzzle you must learn to read.

Invent from First Principles

With the Axiom Core, you ditch the recipe book. Design new materials and technology on a free-form canvas using a symbolic language. Your creativity is the only limit.

Build a Living Factory

Train AI 'Artisans' that don't just produce goods—they learn, adapt, and can even discover unique technologies on their own, making your factory truly one-of-a-kind.

The World is Your Ore Vein.

Resource gathering in Diffland isn't about finding glowing nodes. You use an advanced 'frame pointer' to select any region of the terrain for analysis. An AI vision model scans the satellite imagery to identify and extract valuable resources hidden within.

  • Scan Anything: Every pixel of the world holds potential. Analyze forests, rock formations, and strange anomalies.
  • Dynamic World: Extraction physically alters the map. Your actions leave a permanent, personal mark on your version of the world.
  • Limitless Materials: This system allows for a near-infinite variety of resources to be discovered as the game evolves.

The End of the Crafting List.

The Axiom Core is a revolutionary crafting interface. Instead of picking from a static list, you arrange materials and symbols on a polyvalent canvas to express your intent. The game's AI interprets your design to generate emergent outcomes, from new alloys to complex components.

  • Free-form Canvas: Place and connect elements with total freedom.
  • Symbolic Language: Use operators for heat, pressure, flow, and more.
  • AI-Powered Experts: Guide the AI's interpretation to unlock new possibilities.

Your Factory is Your Apprentice.

Move beyond simple automation. In Diffland, advanced factories operate in two modes. Use 'Simple Mode' for predictable, efficient production, or activate 'Research Mode' to empower your factory's AI to learn, adapt, and innovate.

  • Adaptive Blueprinting: Factories learn to substitute materials, securing your supply chain.
  • Emergent Discovery: In Research Mode, your factory has a chance to invent entirely new blueprints and technologies as a bonus.
