The Fire is Lit
Hey Everyone,
My name is Aaron Sheshan Abraham, and I’m proud to be part of the amazing team at Unspecified Studios, working on something that’s about to change everything: Kingdom of Influence (KOI)!
What Have We Been Working On?
It all begins with fire. 🔥🏕️
We have officially set up our first tents, the humble beginnings of a future kingdom, gathered around a newly built fireplace.
This isn’t just a campsite.
It’s the spark of a civilization. The first breath of a world about to explode into life.
Alongside that, we have planted trees, brought NPCs into the fold, and are slowly shaping the living heart of KOI.
Meanwhile, Devin and Sage have been killing it with world building and animation work.
Devin also brought to life a dialogue system, laying the foundation for the stories, politics, and drama that will define the Kingdom.
And even bigger news:
We officially launched our Website 🌐
Our Discord Server 🎮 (Already 50 new citizens standing with us!)
Our Instagram Page 📸
Our YouTube Channel 🎥
(Basically, we are the new kids on the block, and people are noticing. 😎)
Special thanks to Cathy, one of the brilliant cofounders of Unspecified Studios, who has been chronicling this adventure through blogs on all our social media. Without her, the story of KOI would still be whispered in the shadows.
And it gets even better:
We are introducing a brand new NPC — The Town Drunk (because no kingdom is complete without colorful characters 🍻) and adjusting player customization so you can finally create characters closer in size to the NPCs, making the world feel that much more alive and real.
And guess what?
It’s officially Day 1 of Game Jam at Cathy’s, the birthplace of our wildest ideas!
What’s Next?
The road ahead is lit, and it is only getting hotter. 🔥
In just 4 days, we charge into D Day at Venture Studios with these plans on our war table for the future:
We will have a Playable Prototype for Beta Testers by the End of May ⚔️
Shifting KOI into Unreal or Unity with full custom built assets and characters 🎨
Crafting stunning environments: forests, valleys, mountains, kingdoms 🌄
Creating unique, mood driven music, handcrafted or AI assisted, to give KOI its own heartbeat 🎶
KOI isn’t just a game.
It’s a dream built out of canvas, stone, sweat, and fire.
It’s a story of building something from nothing, of rising from tents and fireplaces to castles and crowns.
It’s already growing into something bigger, more alive, and more legendary than we ever dared to imagine.
We would love to see you at our upcoming events — every single voice cheering us on makes a difference. 🫶
Come be part of the beginning. Build the Kingdom with us.
See you soon,
– Aaron Sheshan Abraham
