About the studio
Strategy games,
made a new way
ZeroVault Games started in April 2026 as an independent game project by Đỗ Quang Đăng. I work on Ashen Vector daily, developing its concepts, algorithms and gameplay logic with AI-assisted coding and hands-on playtesting.
AI helps us move faster on repetitive work, so our time goes where it matters most: gameplay design, balance, and listening to players.
AI-assisted production
AI tools support concept art, modeling, code and automated testing, letting a small team ship a large amount of work.
Humans decide
Every design, balance change and piece of content is edited, playtested and approved by the team before release.
Transparency
We openly share how AI is used in each product and document where our assets come from.

Ashen Vector M1
First public playtest build for PC and Android.
Next milestone
Regular Ashen Vector updates, then our next project.
Ashen Vector & Claude
How we build
with Claude
What Ashen Vector is, and exactly where Anthropic’s Claude fits into how ZeroVault makes it.
The game
Ashen Vector is a real-time strategy game for PC and Android. You build a base, mine alloy, and command infantry, armor, aircraft and naval fleets against an AI opponent on maps such as Cinder Basin and Storm Coast.
It is built in Unity 6 on a deterministic simulation (combat, economy, navigation, aviation and AI) kept separate from rendering, so every battle can be replayed and tested automatically. The game runs fully offline, needs no account, and ships in English and Vietnamese.
What’s next
Ashen Vector is in active development and will keep receiving regular updates: new units, maps and balance passes based on playtest feedback.
- More game modes beyond today’s skirmish against the AI.
- Online modes so players can face each other, alongside the offline game. (planned)
Claude API
Today the game itself makes no calls to Claude or any other online AI service, and no player data is sent anywhere. Claude is used on the development side only.
Our planned first use of Claude API is an internal tool for our development and QA team. It would review playtest feedback and bug reports alongside relevant design documents and test notes, suggest possible causes and regression tests, and flag inconsistencies for a developer to review. We would evaluate it on resolved issues before extending it to localization and documentation. This is a planned workflow; we are not yet presenting it as a deployed API integration.
Claude Code in the repository
Claude Code helps read code, propose changes and explain logic in the Unity project. I review its suggestions and test changes during development.
Verified, not guessed
The project includes tests for game mechanics and gameplay scenarios. I use build and test results to check changes made with AI assistance before including them in a release.
People make the calls
Design, balance and every release are decided, playtested and approved by people. Claude is one of several AI tools we use, and asset sources are logged in our provenance records.
