Devlog #1: Building a fantasy RPG powered by your real life

Your real life is the adventure.

Syloria started with a simple idea: what if the things I already wanted to do in real life could feel like progress in a fantasy RPG?

Instead of completing quests by tapping buttons, you complete them by actually doing things. Train to grow your Strength. Read to develop your Wisdom. Walk, run and explore to progress your Adventure.

Those actions earn XP and become part of your journey through Syloria, a forgotten realm fractured by an event known as the Shattering.

Over the past few months, that idea has grown into a working mobile game. There’s now character creation, workout tracking, reading and step progression, quests, discoveries, unlockable Frontiers and an evolving story centred around your companion, Lumen.

Syloria is currently approaching its first external beta on iOS, with Android planned too. The first testers will help shape what the game becomes from here.

There’s still a lot I want to build, but getting Syloria into the hands of real players is the next big milestone.

Build yourself. Restore a world. 🌙
