Aincrad, floor by floor

No game has covered Aincrad top to bottom, floor 1 through 75. The ones that exist skip floors, or put you next to Kirito instead of in his place. We're building the one where you start on day one of the death game and live it yourself.

The person inside Aincrad is you.

No borrowed history, no place beside Kirito, and no fixed route to floor 75.

01

You arrive without canon history.

The NerveGear scans your face and name. From that point, the game records the person you become.

02

Choices become world state.

Who you fight beside, what you learn, and who you tell carry into later floors.

03

A cleared floor does not close.

Shops keep trading. People remember. Unmapped corners, skipped quests, and promises give you reasons to walk back down.

One complete floor before seventy-five partial ones.

Combat is first person and real time, built in Godot. The art aims at the anime rather than photorealism.

  1. I

    Phase 0 · vertical slice

    Floor 1, end to end

    The Town of Beginnings through the first boss clear. The floor every later one has to match.

  2. II

    Phase 1 · canon floors

    Expand through Aincrad

    Canon floors first. Then we fill the gaps without losing the branches players already made.

  3. III

    Phase 2 · the final gate

    Reach floor 75

    The death game ends here. Who's still beside you by then is the whole point.

Required work is paid. Optional work stays optional.

Enemy models, animation sets, environment kits, and music are commissioned when a floor cannot ship without them. Side quests, dialogue, props, ambient variation, tools, and documentation remain volunteer work.
