S7 Cyberpunk: Auto-pilot
Back of the Box
Earth is done.
The oceans are rising.
The skies are unstable.
The future is leaving orbit.
Auto-Pilot is the animated prelude to the S7 Cyberpunk universe — chronicling humanity’s final hours on Earth and the perilous voyage toward Planet 7.
From the chaotic global launch to the silent descent into cybersleep, Auto-Pilot follows the settlers as they entrust their fate to the most advanced relocation system ever built… The T.U.R.D. and the fragile crew tasked with surviving it.
Hope launches.
Doubt boards with it.
And not everything that leaves Earth arrives unchanged.
When the engines cut and the T.U.R.D. reaches orbit…
The Graphic Novel begins.

Why Auto-Pilot Exists
Auto-Pilot isn’t just story.
It’s infrastructure.
As we build Seneca 7: A Cyberpunk Odyssey, we’re refining:
• Character models
• Cinematic pipelines
• Facial rigs and animation systems
• Music tone and emotional scoring
• Lighting style and rendering workflows
• Cutscene direction and pacing Instead of testing those elements in isolation, we’re building them into a full animated film.
Auto-Pilot allows us to:
• Stress test our 3D production pipeline
• Lock in the animated tone of the universe
• Develop reusable assets for in-game cinematics
• Refine our music direction and radio identity
• Establish emotional stakes before the player ever touches the planet
This is worldbuilding through production.
The anime sharpens the tools.
The tools build the game.
When Auto-Pilot ends, the settlers reach orbit.
And the very next moment in the timeline…
Is the opening page of the Graphic Novel.

They said Earth had one last chance.
They were wrong.
The launch window opens.
Engines roar.
Families say goodbye.
A planet dies quietly beneath the clouds.
Auto-Pilot engages.
Somewhere between gravity and silence, something changes.
Somewhere in deep space, hope fractures.
The future isn’t waiting on Planet 7.
It’s surviving the journey there.
