Orbling Conquest

The Vision

Crash-land on an uncharted planet and use your ship’s Synthesis Lab to research, train and breed Orblings. Orbling Conquest is a turn-based RPG web app covering battles, crafting, exploration and a branching story, with encounters generated through Google’s Genkit AI framework.

The Build

Built with Next.js and TypeScript on Firebase, with Tailwind CSS and Radix UI components, Zustand for state and Jest tests. It was developed in Firebase Studio in one intensive week — 311 commits between 8 and 15 June 2025.

The Technical Challenge

Keeping several interlocking game systems (battle, crafting, exploration, story, breeding) consistent inside a web app, while AI-generated encounters had to fit rules the rest of the game could rely on.
