THE GRAVITY COMPLEX® · DEVLOG
The first idea
Retrospective 01/12 · The beginnings · February 2024. My devlog dates the beginning to 8 February 2024. At that time, I initially imagined a VR game with spatial puzzles.
EVENT 01 The starting point |

- I wanted to bring my experience in 3D and architecture into a game world of my own. Players would be able to explore and change spaces.
- Monument Valley was an early reference point. Impossible geometry and the question of how spatial illusions feel during play were other influences.
- Graphics, sound and a distinctive game mechanic were already part of the earliest ideas.
CONTEXT What grew out of it |
- Perspective and platform were still undecided at the beginning. The original VR idea later evolved into a third-person game.
- Gravity became the central tool: a wall can serve as a floor and reveal new routes.
- The next step was to turn the many possibilities into a concrete concept. The first notes are a starting point, not a description of the features available today.
