02 / FLAGSHIP TITLE
ART OF WAR:
SETTING SUN
A sci-fi first-person shooter MMORPG in one shared galaxy. Think RuneScape's progression + Skyrim's exploration + Destiny's gunplay & loot, wrapped in a stylized retro PS1 aesthetic.
RETRO PS1 FPS MMO • LIVE BUILDS
YOUR SHIP IS YOUR HOME BASE
THE SETTING SUN AWAITS.
You start in apartment 1C on Earth, transplant a snarky robot head named B.U.R.P. into your brain, and take the helm of a battered transport called the Setting Sun. Expand your ship room by room — bridge, quarters, armory, drug lab, trophy hall, and vehicle bay — as you launch between 17+ planets with takeoff sequence transitions into open space.
B.U.R.P. Neural AI: "Testing sound transplant. Yup I can hear your thoughts and see what you see... remember that when you use the toilet please."

THE BLORK PHILOSOPHY
NOT ANOTHER
COOKIE-CUTTER STUDIO.
Blork Studios was founded with one clear mission: games should have unmistakable personality. The worlds should surprise you, the people should stick with you, and the details should feel like somebody cared enough to make them weird in just the right way.
No algorithmic checklists. No sterile corporate templates. Just bold creative risks, retro PS1 aesthetic reverence, and original sci-fi games made with a little bit of random b******t.
