ReWand
A third-person action game about spellcasting and reincarnation: when you die, your last life returns as an ally. In production with a publisher.
Overview
ReWand is a third-person action game that started as a game jam project in December 2025 and has since grown into a larger production, built by a six-person Placeholders Studio team. The original prototype centred on responsive spellcasting and a reincarnation mechanic: whenever the player died, a clone of their previous character returned as an ally in the next life.
After the jam the concept showed enough potential to keep developing well beyond its original scope. It is now in active development with a publisher, so most gameplay, technical and production details stay private for now.
Why it matters
ReWand is my most recent project and my first chance to work on a game past the prototype stage, with a real focus on iteration, production quality and long-term development rather than a two-day sprint.
