GoalWorld Studio · Canon. Code. Cinema.

One universe.
Three mediums.

An independent studio building The Neural Wars — a hard sci-fi saga you can read, a football game you can play, and an AI film you can watch take shape.

Coming soon: Book 2, Earth’s New Song (in production). Follow @nicopez on X for updates →

Featured canon

The rain falls in sevens.

In Neo-Citania every mind is optimized, measured and connected to the Link. Mileo Chen signs off on perfect mental health for people he has never met — until the grid pauses at 03:14 and he hears eight million minds being counted.

Free Chapter 1 preview — no wallet, no signup.

Next in the saga: Earth’s New Song

Book 1 (Fractured Code) is G2 signed off and in release preparation; Book 2 (Earth’s New Song) is in production. Follow the studio to hear the moment each volume drops.
