RUNNER/STAGE 01BACK TO GAME ↗

THE PEOPLE.
THE MATERIALS.

RUNNER is a short, independent jungle action demo built with GPT-6 Astra. This web visual preview uses real-time gameplay, commando sprites, enemy infantry, gun turrets and opening scenery rendered from the approved Blender film scene. Later scenery and unsupported player poses retain the lightweight Canvas artwork.

Picture & game

The forest and cliff artwork was generated with OpenAI image generation for RUNNER. These are generated scenic images with baked lighting. The game, original drawn commandos, bridge and fortress art, interface, and synthesized gameplay effects were authored for this project.

Blender picture assets

Character scans: Body scan by Artec 3D / Artec Group Inc., and Infinite head scan by Lee Perry-Smith / Infinite-Realities, supplied under CC BY 3.0. RUNNER fits and animates these assets, then renders them into sprite atlases. Other foundations include MakeHuman Community CC0 assets.

Enemy uniforms adapt the existing cargo trousers, boots and tactical equipment to private rigs. Sealed helmets, weapons and detailed gun turrets derive from original RUNNER geometry. Enemy walking and aiming are newly adapted for live gameplay.

Environment materials and models: Poly Haven, CC0; Palm TreeZ v3 by Yughues / Nobiax, CC0. The scene also contains original RUNNER geometry, lighting and generated scenic imagery.

Full authors, source links, licenses and modification notices

Cloth checkpoint pennants and weathered bridge beacons are original procedural RUNNER props rendered under the approved scene lighting. Both bridge crossings use the native RUNNER metal deck and truss module.

Music

Fireline is the original RUNNER orchestral cue. This music-only loop accompanies sound effects generated during play.

Recorded orchestral samples: VSCO 2 Community Edition, Versilian Studios / Sam Gossner and Ivy Audio / Simon Dalzell. Sample cutting: Elan Hickler / Soundemote. The samples are supplied under CC0 1.0 Universal.
