Seidr Labs
An independent studio making one original game, slowly and on purpose.
About the game
Seidr Awakening is an original real-time strategy game: Norse seidr and rune-magic meeting space, alien peoples and ancient Egyptian-inspired glyph-craft. Three peoples, a twelve-mission campaign, skirmish, random maps from seed codes and, later, a ranked ladder. The same game is meant to run in browsers, on phones, in VR and, offline, on the R36S handheld.
It is early. The prototype on this site is real and playable; the rest is design and a plan, and the pages say which is which.
Credits and how it is made
- Game code: Rust, one shared core for the handheld, the browser and the future server.
- Character and building models start as AI-generated models from Meshy, then are cleaned up, retopologised and rigged for the engine.
- The narrator sample on the World page is a test recording made with AI voice generation.
- This website was built with the help of an AI assistant.
- We keep a record of the human contribution to every AI-assisted asset.
- Typefaces, served from this site: Metamorphous, Literata, and glyph subsets of Noto Sans Runic and Noto Sans Egyptian Hieroglyphs, all under the SIL Open Font License.
Trademark note
“Seidr Awakening” is a working title. It is not a registered trademark, and we have not yet finished a trademark clearance. The search (WIPO Global Brand Database, South Africa’s CIPC, the USPTO and the EUIPO, in classes 9 and 41) is scheduled before the Hesh Alpha. If it turns up a conflict, the game will be renamed, with a fallback of the form “Seidr: …”.
