Rift Ascent Is Live
Been building systems, tools, audio tech, AI infrastructure, and experimental engines nonstop โ but I also wanted to make something people could instantly jump into and experience.
So hereโs Rift Ascent.
A fast experimental browser game/project built as part of the larger ecosystem Iโve been developing under TizWildin Entertainment.

GENERATOR: RIFT ASCENT
Infinite Heat โ A canvas-based action game with prestige cycles, upgrades, co-op, and procedural audio.
๐ Built on ARC-Core โ the authoritative event-and-receipt engine. Every player action, wave, prestige cycle, upgrade, and leaderboard submission is an ARC-Core-shaped event with a SHA-256 receipt. The receipt chain is the anti-cheat layer.

ARC-Core
ARC-Core is a signal-intelligence event spine โ a deterministic kernel built to host every project its author has ever developed, in tandem and smoothly, through one universal discipline: every state change is an event, every event produces a signed receipt, and every receipt is authority-gated.

ARC-Core is a signal-intelligence event spine โ a deterministic kernel built to host every project its author has ever developed, in tandem and smoothly, through one universal discipline: every state change is an event, every event produces a signed receipt, and every receipt is authority-gated.
The design bet is simple and falsifiable: if a system โ a game, a simulator, a plugin backend, a governed-AI training loop, an archive manager, a language engine, a binary runtime, a cognition lab โ can be modeled as entities, events, authority, and receipts, then ARC-Core can serve as its spine. In theory the entire author's project ecosystem (games, engines, simulators, audio plugins, governed-AI stack, archives, languages, binary runtimes) can ride on one ARC-Core authority layer without any project owning another's truth. The seven-repo governed-AI ecosystem plus the five active consumer applications (see below) are the current concrete evidence of that bet.

Also, this is the Audio Plugin Suite I made to back it..

WHAT IT IS
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Rift Ascent is part gameplay experiment, part rendering sandbox, part rapid-development testbed.
Built solo while simultaneously developing:
- AI tooling
- music production systems
- JUCE-based audio software
- web infrastructure
- browser-based interactive systems
- cross-domain experimental projects
The goal wasnโt just โmake a game.โ
The goal was building a reusable ecosystem where:
- visuals
- gameplay
- audio
- tooling
- deployment
- experimentation
can all evolve together.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
WHY BROWSER-BASED?
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Because instant access matters.
No installs.
No launcher.
No friction.
Open link โ play immediately.
That philosophy is becoming more important as indie developers compete against massive production pipelines.

FEEDBACK WANTED
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Iโm actively iterating on:
- mechanics
- visuals
- movement feel
- performance
- progression systems
- environmental design
- audio integration
If you try it, let me know:
- what feels good
- what feels bad
- what youโd expand
- what youโd remove entirely
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
BIGGER ECOSYSTEM
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Rift Ascent is connected to a much larger solo-built ecosystem currently in development through:
Including:
- AI infrastructure
- audio tools
- experimental engines
- production utilities
- browser-native systems
- game prototypes
- interactive media experiments
Trying to prove you can still build ambitious multi-domain projects independently without a giant studio behind you.
Would love feedback from:
- indie devs
- gameplay programmers
- web engine developers
- audio people
- shader/rendering nerds
- experimental game designers
- anyone interested in browser-native games
