“In the heart of London’s Portobello Market lies a secret that could shatter his world for good.“

London warps into Arcanum—a haunting mirror of the city he thought he knew, where buildings whisper secrets and friends become living archetypes.

REALTIME 3D WORLDS
Generative world creation in gaming, grounded in real-world location.
Using diffusion models, we generate detailed 3D tiled cityscapes from geographical map data — not from templates or prebuilt assets, but from model driven reconstruction – rendered in real-time, shaped by both data and imagination, with identical real-time weather, and traffic.
