The game I am building

I’m Michael, the solo developer behind Hedgehog Studios. I’m building Orvaldar for the freedom to earn a living, get to know a place and set off on an adventure when you choose. My ambition is a boundless fantasy world that keeps moving around you, without a chosen one or a compulsory main quest.

I plan turn-based combat with the tension of chess: where you stand, when you act and how you use an ally should matter more than fast reactions. Peaceful work and dangerous journeys should both leave their mark.

My early C garden preview lets you explore two rooms and meet four residents. The living world, tactical combat and 1,000-floor tower remain planned.

Art and downloads

All pictures are original pixel art from the game, free to use for coverage of Orvaldar.

• Key art: the tower Valdreth (640×360 PNG)
• Key art: the watching eye (640×360 PNG)
• Wordmark (430×59 PNG, transparent)

The pictures are pixel art at their native size. Please scale them only by whole numbers (2×, 3×, 4×) with nearest-neighbour scaling so the pixels stay sharp.
