▶ Sin Star - Trailer (2026) - 🇵🇭🎉🥳🤗❤️

A science-fantasy RPG in development, created by Louiery R. Sincioco (Sin).

A city built around an ancient relay. A young traveler whose voice can disturb the foundations of reality. A party brought together by displacement, unanswered questions, and a growing responsibility to protect one another. Sin Star I follows Arin from Neris toward a conflict that reaches beyond the worlds he knows.

This is the first game to use the SMILE 2.0 Game Engine. Its native game, character and battle presentations, maps, illustrated script, storyboard, and production sources now live together in this repository. The SMILE 2.0 language, compiler, runtime, and Studio remain a separate project.

What you can explore today

Characters: animated presentations and level-growth tables for the developing cast.
Maps & Towns: a visual browser of all 17 permanent Studio maps, with Arin, Orin, Zara, and Mira exploring through the shared navigation, camera, and party systems.
Battle System: Studio's shared party-order system against Kael, with Auto Battle, cinematic cameras, attacks, magic, healing, statistics, and session EXP rewards.
Battle Simulations: four-hero encounters with Vrax, Kael, and a dragon, including elemental effects and Mira's healing.
Story and production: an illustrated script, scene-by-scene storyboard, character references, and linked video work.

The game is an active work in progress. The longer-term direction spans three worlds; the current maps and demonstrations are playable development material, not a completed campaign. The trailer and storyboard show the narrative vision; the screenshots below come from the native engine.

Meet the main characters

Background

Arin's journey begins in Neris, wearing inexpensive surplus armor rather than the uniform of a military past. His unusual resonance with the Axiom draws distant attention and turns a local mystery into a much larger journey.

A princess and healer who leaves Neris under a limited investigative mandate, with relief duties handed over. Her care for others must coexist with difficult questions about the institutions she represents.

A lightning-wielding protector introduced during the evacuation of Veyra. His home village and East Valley connect him to a history of diverted supplies and suppressed accountability, giving his journey a deeply personal stake.

A sentient, fully mechanical red robot who joins the unfolding evacuation story. Zara's intelligence and identity are her own; she has no personal connection to the artificial combat faction behind the ship attack.

A Kynari courier with distinctive spatial and scent-based engineering skills. Wearable translation lets his companions understand him; it does not create his intelligence. He brings a perspective that complements Zara's.

A mysterious swordsman who detects Arin's remote resonance while visiting Earth. His long history with the experiment behind their reality makes him both a formidable opponent and a central figure in the story's unanswered questions.

A cosmic supervisory power whose authority over the experiment threatens the lives within it. The party's struggle with Aevos asks whether preserving a world must mean accepting the power that controls it.

Storyboard

Four moments from the illustrated story, from a rescue beneath Neris to a confrontation at the Origin. Click any picture to watch its corresponding animated scene on YouTube. These cinematic concept clips explore the story in development.

Mira shields an injured Arin from collapsing machinery in the flooded waterworks — **A stranger who comes back.** When a conduit collapses in the waterworks, Mira raises a water shield over the injured Arin. With a surveyor still trapped nearby, their first meeting becomes a shared refusal to leave someone behind.

Orin returns to stand beside Arin while Mira treats evacuees at Veyra terminal — **Survival before victory.** As raiders attack Veyra's evacuation terminal, Orin gives up the last lift to stand beside Arin. Mira tends the wounded while a Kynari engineer restores the rail; their goal is to get people out alive.

Milo reunites with his route partner as the party visits a Kynari community hall — **A community with its own voice.** Milo reunites with his rescued route partner as the companions enter a Kynari hall. Its architecture, language, and customs reveal a people whose intelligence exists independently of the translators their visitors need.

Kael intercepts Aevos's strike with a cracking protective field around the party — **Protection at a personal cost.** Kael steps between Aevos's strike and the party. His protective field fractures, making his first act as an ally a costly choice to protect the lives in front of him.

Battles in motion

These are actual native-renderer frames from the current battle simulations. Each encounter shows a separate turn for Arin, Orin, Zara, and Mira. Orin's Thor Attack and Mira's Heal Party are sampled during their action phases.

Towns

All 17 permanent maps are accessible from Maps & Towns. Neris Metropolis is shown at night; the other towns use their authored day views in the shared Studio renderer.

Technical Background

Sin Star I connects creative direction with hands-on language, engine, and tools development. The game is written in SMILE and compiled to a native Windows executable. It reuses Studio's rendering, character animation, effects, terrain, and navigation modules, while the game owns its title flow, map selection, and combat rules.

The repository exposes the working materials behind the presentation: gameplay sources, authored maps, asset preparation scripts, battle rules, regression fixtures, and narrative production documents. The game history was retained when it moved from the engine repository into this dedicated home.

Build and play locally

Use Windows, the installed Visual Studio 2026 native toolchain, and PowerShell 7. Place this checkout beside the existing SMILE 2.0 toolchain checkout:

D:\SMILE 2.0\                 Engine, compiler, shared libraries, Studio
D:\SMILE 2.0 - Sin Star I\    This game and its story production folder

From the game root:

.\Build.ps1
.\bin\Release\SinStarI.exe

You can also open SinStarI.slnx in Visual Studio with the existing SMILE extension. The build reuses the locally installed compiler, Studio asset preparation, and existing authoring inputs. Some licensed/private character sources are local development inputs and are not redistributed in Git; a fresh checkout alone does not supply them. The build does not install packages or download dependencies.

In Maps & Towns, select a thumbnail or use the arrow keys and Enter. In a map: WASD moves the party, R switches walk/run, Tab follows the party, Ctrl+Tab changes the leader, and Esc returns to the gallery. The shared camera controls also remain available.

In Battle System, choose Fight, Order, or Auto for the party. Enter confirms orders or requests new orders after the current round, Space pauses, C returns the camera, and right-click restarts while retaining session EXP. Backtick cycles Studio's inspector and header-free views. Esc closes a nested menu or statistics view before returning to the title; the < Title button is available with the header visible when menus and edits are settled. The game uses the same battle implementation as Studio, with game navigation and music around it.

For the native map regression and refreshed town photographs:

.\Maps\Test-Maps.ps1

The illustrated script and storyboard remain in their original folder. Local video files are intentionally excluded from Git; the trailer and verified online clips are linked instead.
