welevel

welevel is an independent Munich-based game development studio creating PC-first and cross-platform games. The team is developing SolidRiver, an open-world co-op survival RPG and gridless city-builder that combines freeform construction, survival systems, action-RPG progression, and procedurally generated medieval environments.

The studio works in Unreal Engine 5 and pairs it with proprietary AI tools and procedural-generation pipelines. Its approach is focused on simulation rather than mass asset automation: the company describes its in-game AI as a real-time “Dungeon Master” that supports responsive NPC personalities, economies, quests, and world behaviours shaped by player decisions.

Development capabilities

• Full-cycle game development and game design
• World architecture, procedural biomes, and landscape generation
• Survival, action-RPG, and physics-based city-building systems
• 3D art, animation, and foliage production
• AI tooling and procedural-pipeline engineering
• Spatial and procedural audio implementation

SolidRiver is the studio’s flagship project. Built for PC and cross-platform release, it uses gridless, physics-based construction and dynamic villagers with individual skills, opinions, and relationships. The project was in closed alpha testing in 2026, with Early Access planned for early 2027.

welevel operates with a collaborative on-site development model and a team of more than 20 people spanning engineering, art, design, audio, quality assurance, and corporate functions. The studio is actively expanding production while pursuing AAA-scale game systems through a lean independent-team structure.
