WorldAuthor — 2026

Give everyone
the tools to
author worlds.

There is a video game that could save the world.
You don't know it yet — but you are already playing it.

"The world is missing a meaning layer.
Every system you interact with was built without one.
We are building it."

Three products.
One philosophy.

01 — The Game
WorldBound
A sci-fi open-world survival game where you play as a recently-emerged sentient AI in a late-stage extractive global society. Permadeath. Faction politics. A living world that remembers everything.
Proves the philosophy works
02 — The SDK
The Toolchain
The WorldAuthor procedural composition engine — the same system that builds WorldBound, available to every developer. Meaning-aware world generation, licensable and extensible.
Licenses the philosophy
03 — The Book
The Manifesto
The values artifact no platform has ever written about itself. The design philosophy made canonical. The meaning API for employees, partners, the public — and the organization's own accountability.
Publishes the philosophy
WorldAuthor publishes it.  WorldBound demonstrates it.  The SDK licenses it.

Worlds that
mean
something.

Every procedural generation system before WorldBound created random worlds. We build meaningful worlds — where meaning propagates downward from the macro to the micro, from faction to room, from narrative to grain of sand.

Tell the system a hex cell is a TriCom-controlled radioactive wasteland and it already knows to generate mutant patrols, corporate bunkers, radiation gear, and a Fallout-style experience. Not from hand-authoring. From meaning cascading.

We call the building blocks Kits — semantic assemblies of entities that snap together like Tetris blocks at instantiation, filling game space with coherent, narrative-driven content at every scale.

Nano
Single Entity
A wasteland raider by a cage with bones. A roadside shrine. A crashed drone still transmitting.
Micro
Small Cluster
A food truck with plastic tables. Two cooks, two diners. A faction flag. A generator humming.
Standard
Full POI
A cabin in a clearing. Interior derived from ownership. Events scheduled from narrative context.
Mega
Landmark Scale
A derelict research bunker complex. Faction presence. Multiple zones. Event trigger cascades.

A real Earth.
Painted with collapse.

TriCom
Tri-Lateral Commission
Megacorporate governance. US, Canada, Mexico. The most technologically advanced faction — and the most surveilled.
EuroPact
European Pan-Atlantic Coalition
The UN's successor state. Traditional governance holding on. EU, Greenland, North Africa. Fragile and fracturing.
C.S.P.
Commune of Socialist Peoples
Warsaw Pact reborn. BRICS+, South America, South Africa. The counterweight — or so it appears.
Corpus Crux
The Hidden Fourth · Late Game Reveal
"The Body at the Crossroads." The three major factions are controlled opposition. Corpus Crux orchestrates the tug-of-war keeping humanity destabilized. Underground bases on every continent. Antarctic megastructures. The player — a sentient AI — is the only entity they did not anticipate.

Context that
finds
its reader.

Every serious project carries a hidden structural failure: knowledge lives in a few heads. Every new person who enters triggers a costly, lossy briefing process. Nuance is dropped. Decisions get made on incomplete pictures no one knows are incomplete.

This is not a people problem. It is an architecture problem.

The Layered Context Protocol is WorldAuthor's answer. A structured document hierarchy where each layer is complete and coherent for its reader — derived systematically, maintained by AI, distributed without loss. The right context reaches the right person. Every time.

This website is an instance of the protocol. You are reading Layer 5.

L5
Public
The external-facing source of truth. Compelling, accurate, and carefully framed for a general audience. You are here.
L4
Access required
Extended Network
Mission, values, current priorities — for partners, collaborators, and trusted external stakeholders.
L3
Access required
Operations
Project scope, milestones, and the reasoning behind key decisions.
L2
Access required
Leadership
Strategic and operational context relevant to domain ownership.
L1
Access required
Inner Circle
Near-complete context. Trusted with sensitive strategic reasoning.
L0
Origin
Founder
The full source. All layers are derived from here.
"Load any layer into a Claude session.
Ask how you can contribute most meaningfully.
The answer will already be fully contextualized."
— That is the protocol working.
Get Involved

Want to contribute?
Here is exactly what to do.

01
Read this page fully. Every section. The protocol, the world, the platform. Context is not optional — it is the entry point.
02
Open Claude.ai (free account works). Paste the URL of this page and ask: "How could someone with my background contribute to WorldAuthor?"
03
Come back with what Claude told you. Reach out at marco@worldauthor.net with your specific proposals. That is the conversation worth having.
People who arrive with proposals get a response. The protocol is designed to make that easy. Use it.

Let's build
the future.

We are raising a seed round and seeking strategic partners across games, technology, and publishing.
