This site is *extremely* work in progress. It'll be something eventually!!!...i hope
Pancake Anomaly is built for a 1920x1080 display!
It may not work correctly on other resolutions or devices.
Sporegate is a little something I've been working on bit by bit since around the 29th-ish of September, 2025. The basic idea of Sporegate is that it's kind of a fusion of Spore and Stargate.
There's a bit of lore so far, enough that I think it warrants its own dedicated page rather than existing solely on the projects page.
Much like Stargate, there exists a vast network of Sporegates; interplanetary wormhole-based transportation devices capable of transporting creatures and matter across vast distances throughout the galaxy in a matter of seconds. There are two major things that differenciate the Sporegates from the gates from Stargate; the first one being the dialling mechanism is based on degrees of rotation around and distance (in parsecs) from the galactic core. The dialling interfaces use a rotating knob and typically either a keypad or a lever to select the distance of the desired gate.
The other major difference that makes Sporegates different is that the entire Milky Way network is composed of gates of various designs rather than one singular design of gate for the entire network. This is because as opposed to the gatebuilders being one incredibly technologically advanced race, in Sporegate the gate network was built by many different races working together.
The Magiyanii are an intelligent race from the planet Magiyania, vaguely humanoid proportioned with a mix of traits akin to that of avians and insects. Shorter than the average human, covered mostly in feathers, with a large beak and two large black bulbous eyes.
The technology of the Magiyanii largely resembles that of 20th century Earth, around the 1960s to 1970s. Wood-stocked gunpowder-based weaponry, nixie tube numerical displays.
Magiyania is a very warm planet, large deserts with hot and humid purple woodlands and jungles toward the equator. The planet is surrounded by a ring system, which makes spaceflight exceptionally difficult when combined with the Magiyanii's very primitive spaceflight technology.
On Magiyania, their Sporegate was displayed in various museums over thousands of years as a peculiar historic artifact. It wasn't until an alien probe came through the gate to examine the lifeforms of Magiyania that the Magiyanii realised what the Sporegate actually was; irrefutable proof of alien life and their ticket to explore the stars.
The Terrans (Great Terran Empire) were the descendents of humans from Earth. They designed and built the first Sporegates and they pioneered most of the advanced technologies that are now commonplace in the Milky Way galaxy. Their empire spanned most of the galaxy and lasted for two million years. The Terrans were destroyed 100,000 years prior to when the main story takes place, what killed them remains unknown but it is known that whatever agent brought down the Terrans, did so by driving them to a state of murderous insanity.
Terran technology is coveted by all in the Milky Way, it is unfathomably advanced and very powerful for anyone with the ability to make heads or tails of what it is and how to use it. The Terrans' technology is however, incredibly uncomfortable for most to look at. The construction being mostly organic, mostly asphalt-black. A common material used in Terran technology is a coarse but incredibly strong almost concrete-like material grown from genetically engineered microorganisms into any shape the Terrans would have desired, I suppose it's a bit like space yeast concrete..? A lighter version of the material also existed for spacecraft use.
The only civilisation in Sporegate to have any measure of success with time travel experimentation were the Terrans, and they abandoned it shortly after getting their first time machines to work. It is generally belived that all of the Terrans came to the same conclusion that time travel was far too risky for them to continue experimenting with, but it is possible that one or two may have continued for a short time afterward...
