There's even a new Severance level 😂 (jk!)

Who is the shadowy figure?

We've said: visuals are placeholder.

Screenshot of action in the game "SABOTAGE." A delivery robot (player character) is grinding the rail of an electric blue track that travels over water in a canyon, as sparks fly from the wheel + tire, mining car NPCs approach the player and are visible on the other side of the tracks (left side of screen) too. The visuals are all prototype, early placeholder models; simpler shapes, basic colors and placeholder textures. The game UI is visible in the edges of the screen: pause button, coin balance, level, energy, timer, controls for Jump & Boost. The SABOTAGE logo (oval shaped, rounded letters with a purple gradient and white stroke outline) is visible in the lower left corner. Skylight Studios Logo (a sky blue slanted rectangle - aka parallelogram - with the studio name in white letters overlaid) is in the upper right corner. Copyright 2025 Skylight Studios is overlaid as well Screenshot of action in the game "SABOTAGE." A delivery robot (player character) stands in a moody, sepia toned underground bunker looking environment. This is the bad Severance joke made in the main post. It looks like a big, long, wide, rectangular tunnel. There is a boost speed pad visible in the background, and just beyond that... a ramp down into the underworld of Sabotage. Maybe not quite as sinister as that, but - you know: MARKETING! The visuals are all prototype, early placeholder models; simpler shapes, basic colors and placeholder textures.

White background with black silhouette of the player character, which is a higher fidelity and more complex shapes than the current in-game place holder model. Key elements of the anatomy are a single wheel / tire on the botttom. The torso floats above and has to arms that look very mechanical, but roughly similar to a human torso or anatomy. An antenna protrudes from the right shoulder. The head looks much more "robotic" in that the shapes & countour are decidely helmet like, with some visible flatter surfaces and angles.

Guess we don't need to ask the Po-Bots how their #bulking regimen is going... 😲

Come check out SABOTAGE!

Getting into the demo is much easier than getting past these 2.

Screenshot taken in the "Gym" exploration / workshop section of the game, Sabotage. The player character - a robot, with a single wheel tire, two armed torso and wearing purple headphones - is standing on a flat gray plain, with a grid pattern texture, and the character has their back to camera. In front of the player: 2 ginormous (that's a word, right?) police bots dwarf the player. They are much larger than anything seen in the prototype thus far, standing probably 4 or 5 times taller than we do. They have a single, glowing red bar for an eye. Tiny little black antenna is centered on their head. Physically, they are a large, very dark in color. They give off big-time monolith vibes. Fun shapes for exploration are visible in the background, but I don't know if I can past these two bouncers in my way, if I'm honest. Sabotage game logo is in the lower left corner. Skylight Studios logo is in the lower right corner. Player XP and coin balance UI is in the upper left.

Happy Groundhog Day! 😉

TFW your friend Sabotages your delivery with the anchor.

Invite someone to jump in the playtest with you. Games are more fun together. We make it easy to play "with" someone.

Async PRANKS - FTW!

Screenshot of action in the game "SABOTAGE" A delivery robot (player character) has a really heavy and cumbersome delivery in the form of a large metal safe on their back. As if life wasn't hard enough, the poor robot is also dragging a very large boat anchor behind them. A time in the upper right corner of the screen indicates how much longer the robot will have to suffer the additional challenge. Smuggler robots are a competitive bunch. They like to mess with each other. Overlay text on the right side of the image says "Don't Drive Angry" in an homage to Groundhog Day. (That movie slaps). The visuals are all prototype placeholder models; simpler shapes, basic colors and placeholder textures. The game UI is visible: pause, coin balance, level, energy, timer, controls for Jump & Boost. The SABOTAGE logo is overlaid in the lower left corner.

Smuggler robot in SABOTAGE game stares up at some new robot buildings that have sprung up in the city. Shall we say INFESTED? Yes, let's say that! These buggers are everywhere! SABOTAGE is still in prototype or greybox explorations, but the buildings are big, black & white cubes with carbon mesh elements, large circular elements in the corners. A big satellite dish is mounted on top of one of the cube buildings. The robot is has a kind of human-ish torso: head, body and 2 arms, but the lower half is a single tire+wheel combo. Game UI is shown in the screenshot as well: pause, coin balance, level, energy, timer, controls for Jump & Boost. The SABOTAGE logo is visible in upper right corner.

Screenshot of action in the game "SABOTAGE" A delivery robot (player character) has a painting on their back and surveys a busy street ahead, planning their route through traffic. That painting looks a lot like the Mona Lisa. Best not to ask questions though. This is a typical day in the life of a smuggler robot. NPC delivery bot vehicles are coming toward and driving away as they shuttle delivery boxes. The visuals are all prototype. Models are basic & placeholder; simpler shapes, basic colors and placeholder textures. The game UI is visible: pause, coin balance, level, energy, timer, controls for Jump & Boost. The SABOTAGE logo is visible in the upper right corner. Our prototype is in playtest now and focus is on tuning fun and getting feedback while we work on visual development / explorations in parallel, in the background.

A non-traditional side view of gameplay in Sabotage. Instead of standard 3rd person, over the shoulder, we have a side view of our single-wheeled robot smuggler racing across a bridge, hauling a super simple delivery: an upright piano. Sparks fly from the robot's wheel. A boost pad is visible on the ground, with some sparkling VFX rising up from the acceleration point. Game UI is visible on screen, with a timer and the purple SABOTAGE logo in the upper right corner.

Screenshot of action in the game "SABOTAGE" A delivery robot (player character) has an armored style case on their back and sparks fly from the single tire / wheel of the robot as they lean in to the acceleration across a bridge and prep to run the gauntlet of authoritarian police bots directly ahead. This is a typical day in the life of a smuggler robot. Yellow speed boost pads glow on the surface of the road, with some magic turbo sparkle vfx floating above. The visuals are all prototype placeholder models; simpler shapes, basic colors and placeholder textures. The game UI is visible: pause, coin balance, level, energy, timer, controls for Jump & Boost.

Screenshot of a "gym" level from the game SABOTAGE. A smuggler robot stands high up on a greybox ridge, looking down on a valley filled with gaming goodness. Lots of small stations are shown, where we test a range of mechanics, motion, and feel. You can see police bots, electric grind rails (skate / grind test), ramps of various shapes and sizes, boost pads and various elements of differentiated elevation. All of it useful for exploring platformer and driving fun. Helps us find a little bit of juice. It's a safe space to explore prior to integration into the levels that everyone sees in a standard play session.

Screenshot of gameplay from the blockout prototype playtest for Sabotage. Lots of placeholder imagery. The level is a functional blockout with primitive shapes and basic colors that insinuate a futuristic city. The player's character in center of screen is a Robot (also a functional / blockout model) that has 3 parts to their anatomy: big white head, big grey wheel underneath (for speedy drifty goodness), and robot is wearing some cool purple headphones - cause we need to whistle while we work. The robot is speeding through the scene - smoke comes off their tires and a tire track is getting pasted on the ground - smuggling (carrying) a stack of piping hot pizzas to somebody who wanted something that is not available on the standard menu from BigCo in BigTown.
