Trailer for SENTIENT STEEL featuring colourful modern city environments, fast-paced combat, and platforming.
The image reads: “I often said that writers are of two types. There is the architect, which is one type. The architect, as if designing a building, lays out the entire novel at a time. He knows how many rooms there will be or what a roof will be made of or how high it will be, or where the plumbing will run and where the electrical outlets will be in its room. All that before he drives the first nail. Everything is there in the blueprint. And then there's the gardener who digs the hole in the ground, puts in the seed and waters it with his blood and sees what comes up. The gardener knows certain things. He's not completely ignorant. He knows whether he planted an oak tree, or corn, or a cauliflower. He has some idea of the shape but a lot of it depends on the wind and the weather and how much blood he gives it and so forth. No one is purely an architect or a gardener in terms of a writer, but many writers tend to one side or the other. I'm very much more a gardener. George R.R. Martin”
Gameplay footage from SENTIENT STEEL. The video shows one of the playable characters travelling in and out of the background of a night-time scene using a ‘teleporter’, which sends the character in an arc motion to their destination.
A short, black-and-white animatic, depicting the two playable characters in SENTIENT STEEL. The pair strike a pose using their weapons in front of the camera, before it raises up above them, revealing a giant robotic claw. The claw then slashes downwards as they flee, carving a mark in the background. “Etcher” then appears below the claw mark.

This image features three digital drawings, each drawn in colour with rough black outlines. The first is a city street showing three buildings in a row, one is red, another is pink, and the last is orange. Skyscrapers can be seen in the background. The second shows a quiet side street at nighttime, a brick wall and streetlamp are in view, with residential housing behind them. The last image is wider, and shows a large blue train with two floors. It sits beneath a tall orange stone ceiling, which is held up by pillars of the same material.
Rough digital concept art from SENTIENT STEEL of a city called Skyrise, which is held high by grand turquoise pillars. The dwellings atop them are rectangular in shape, and consist of wide glass windows and blue brick. Many trees and plants are also scattered around.
