Embark on an extraordinary journey in Worldless, a captivating 2D adventure platformer, prepares to launch on November 21 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch. Immerse yourself in a unique universe where the boundaries between the physical and astral planes blur, where light and dark polarities are trapped in eternal conflict. In order to best prepare you for your journey into Worldless, we’d like to share three pieces of advice.
Don’t Fear Exploration
Worldless unfolds as an interconnected world built around a central hub, offering players a plethora of diverse environments to explore. We encourage you to go out of your way and give in to your curiosity. There are no environmental hazards, fall damage, or loss of progress / game over screens. So follow your intuition and you will find that your curiosity will be rewarded with secrets, upgrades, and optional bonus encounters. In case you get lost there is a schematic map that will help you navigate and it will also point you in the direction of unexplored areas or secrets that remain.
Adapt and React
Worldless introduces an innovative combat system that blends 1v1 turn-based play with fast-paced action mechanics. As you face adversaries, strategic decision-making and dexterity become your allies. Each encounter is structured around a time limit, so make sure you understand the value of your actions for maximum effect. Watch for visual cues signaling incoming attacks and adapt to their vulnerabilities. The combat in Worldless isn't just about defeating foes, you can also try to absorb them and gain valuable skill points making you stronger.
Create Creative Strategies
Creativity takes center stage in Worldless, where thoughtful and engaged gameplay triumphs over button mashing, and repeated actions are penalised. Every action has the potential to unlock the "Perfect Timing" skill, adding an extra layer of mastery. Because Worldless doesn’t feature your traditional level-up scenario and failures aren’t met with a ‘game over’, you are free to try out various tactics without feeling punished and grow as a player as you get familiar with the encounter. Or if you feel like it, go in a different direction and return later.
Worldless is set to be released on all platforms on November 21st. To be one of the first to embark on this journey through a newborn universe filled with eternal conflict, we encourage you to pre-order now and wishlist the game.

Hey there, Joel here! Today will be the last developer blog before the launch of Worldless on the 21st of November! With the style and direction we took Worldless in, we knew it would be incredibly important to have strong animation in the game. Conveniently this has been my main discipline!
The Animation in Worldless has been a combination of hand-drawn sprites and interpolation animation, which we did in Unity. We believe to have created a unique visual style that stands out and catches the eye of anyone who sees it, while still allowing us to iterate frequently and allow for a fast production process.
We put a lot of focus on ensuring that the animation of the character matches the movements and the right visual state. Ensuring that the animations are clear and smooth is very important as they relay information to the player and will make the game more readable and improve the responsive control the player has.
It’s been a tough challenge, but we think we’ve found the right balance after a lot of testing. We wanted the game cues to be readable, but also fit within the minimalistic style that Worldless breathes throughout.
A key to making this a success has been the use of well-timed particles & visual effects, as they allowed us to reinforce the important game cues while maintaining the overall minimalistic style that we wanted for Worldless.
There is a strong cohesion between the animation, visual effects, and game design in Worldless and they really help you read and understand the game and immerse yourself in the game’s world.
It’s all about the balance between making things look incredible, and also ensuring the game reads well and visual design rules are followed. E.g. we want to telegraph to you that an attack is coming, or to feel the excitement and impact when you land a big hit.
We hope you’ve enjoyed this deep dive into the animation of Worldless and we can’t wait for you to experience the full game when it releases on November 21th!
