Inside Kioomon Origins and GIANTY’s Approach

When Kiooverse set out to create their first title in the Kiooverse universe, they needed more than a prototype. They needed a polished, scalable MVP that would prove their gameplay vision and handle technical stress without falling apart.

Enter GIANTY. With two decades of game development expertise, GIANTY took on the challenge – delivering Kioomon Origins, a roguelike action-survival game where players control Nyx, a magical warrior battling endless waves of enemies and bosses in an enclosed arena.

Project Goals

Kiooverse needed a lean yet engaging MVP to validate core gameplay. But the MVP wasn’t just about testing mechanics. It was about testing ideas and letting the community guide the future of the game

The objectives were clear:

• Focus on core gameplay feel and stability 
• Collect community feedback and use that insight to shape the full version of Kioomon Origins

The Challenge & Solution

Challenges

The MVP had a tight scope: validate the core loop –  XP-based stat growth, boss fights every 5 levels, and endless survival without adding unnecessary features.
But the project came with its own set of challenges:

• A hard 3-month deadline

• Strict polygon budgets: Nyx (5000), Boss (3000), Enemy (1000).

Solution from GIANTY

From game design and programming to asset creation and project management, GIANTY took full ownership of the MVP pipeline to ensure seamless communication and efficient client alignment. This streamlined approach enabled us to quickly propose a well-defined scope tailored to the client’s core objectives.

• Core gameplay: Single-player with XP-driven stat growth and boss encounters every 5 levels (no complex skill, no skill trees or item drops). 
• Optimized Assets: Produced reusable 3D models for Nyx, enemy mobs, and the boss – all within strict polygon limits without sacrificing visual fidelity, ready for use in future development phases.
• Smart Tools: Developed a debug tool that allowed real-time parameter tuning, greatly accelerating balancing and testing.
• We suggested WebGL to deliver 3D gameplay directly in-browser for both mobile and PC during the MVP stage. The solution ran smoothly, supporting up to 400 enemies without lag under optimized conditions.
• We also used AI-generated music and sound to save costs while ensuring a polished and engaging MVP experience for players.

What we delivered

The final MVP included:

• Gameplay: Single-player roguelike, endless waves, bosses every 5 levels.
• Map: 1 flat static 3D arena with minimal decor.
• Characters:
  • Nyx: 1 model, 6 animations
  • Weapon: 1 model with 7 cosmetic elemental variants
  • Special ability: 1 with VFX
• Enemies:
  • Mob: 1 model, 5 animations, simple rush AI
  • Boss: 1 model, 5 animations, 1 VFX skill, timed AI
• Combat: Auto-attack + 1 active skill, visual-only elemental effects.
• UI/UX: Minimal (Play, Restart, Exit), text-only tutorial.
• Art & Audio: Player/mob/boss models, basic UI, royalty-free SFX, 1 music track.

Milestone reached in community test campaign: Top players have clocked 4+ hours of gameplay, with all top 5 surpassing 3,000 kills — a true engagement from the community.
