# Foster: Leyfront Tactics

> Turn-based tactical RPG meets character collector on an alien frontier

Genre: Tactical RPG | Platforms: web

Command crash survivors, ley-powered mechs, and explore five biomes on a naturally magical planet. Build your squad, master three combat philosophies, and chart humanity's path to the stars.

## Features

- **Turn-Based Combat System** — Turn-Based combat where every unit's speed determines turn order. Position your squad across front and back rows, unleash skills, and chain ultimates for devastating combos.
- **Character Collection** — Recruit from over 50 unique pilots and equip them with over 60 "frames," giant mechs - plus hundreds of weapons, cores, drives, and relics. Every pull expands your tactical possibilities.
- **Five Explorable Biomes** — Traverse grasslands, deserts, swamps, jungles, and tundra — each with unique terrain modifiers, enemy types, and environmental hazards that reshape your strategy.
- **Three Combat Philosophies** — Mecha, Magic, or Cyber — each path offers distinct equipment, mechanics, and an affinity triangle that rewards smart team composition.
- **Deep Equipment System** — Fuse cores, find relics, and swap out equipment across characters. Experiment with different equipment across frames and pilots to create builds that match your playstyle.
- **World Exploration** — Navigate node-based world maps, complete star objectives, unlock boss encounters, and uncover the lore of a planet where magic is natural law.

## Asset showcases

### Pilot Portraits: Unique Characters

Every pilot in Foster has a distinct portrait reflecting their personality, faction alignment, and combat role. A unique workflow and visual model produced the entire roster with a consistent anime-tactical art style, from hardened veterans to enigmatic scouts.

### 80+ Mech Frames

From light scout units to heavy artillery platforms, every frame was generated through Layer's workflows and a custom style model with consistent mechanical design language -- the "frontier military instrumentation" aesthetic that defines Foster's visual identity.

### 100+ Frame Cosmetics

A full cosmetic variant system lets players purchase or discover unique liveries for every frame in their hangar. Each cosmetic was generated through Layer with detailed descriptions guiding the visual output, from bone-painted war trophies to ceremonial gold refit patterns. Each cosmetic variant comes with its own unique idle animation.

### Enemy Creatures - 100+ Biome-Specific Sprites

All enemy visuals were batch-generated through Layer's API, workflows, and custom models, enabling rapid iteration on creature designs. Each enemy's visual design telegraphs its combat behavior and biome origin: Crystalline beasts in the tundra, venomous flora in the jungle, armored drakes in the desert.
