RigidGems Museum

[About This Game]

RigidGems Museum is a collection game where you mine rough stones, cut them, collect them, and display them to create your own digital gemstone museum.

The game features 59 mineral types, 527 cut designs, and more than 500 cuts used with permission from real-world cut designers and rights holders. You can mine rough stones from locations around the world, apply a wide variety of cuts, and observe how each gemstone changes with light, color, and shape.

The game also includes fantasy-style inclusions such as flowers, planets, and galaxies. RigidGems Museum is not intended to be a strict gemological appraisal simulator. Instead, it combines real-time gemstone rendering with beautiful game-specific collection elements.

Finished gemstones can be placed freely in your gallery. With display items and glass cases, you can build your own museum-like exhibition space.

The game also explores mineral effects such as ammolite-like structural color. Real-time play-of-color rendering allows certain stones to shift in color depending on viewing angle and lighting, creating a visual effect rarely seen in gemstone games.

At its core, RigidGems Museum is a calm, non-competitive collection experience where you can gather beautiful minerals and cuts, display them, and enjoy them at your own pace.

[More Than 500 Real-World Designer Cuts]

One of the major features of RigidGems Museum is its collection of more than 500 cut designs used with permission from real-world cut designers and rights holders.

The full version greatly expands the game into an experience centered on the diversity of gemstone cuts. Players do not simply process gemstones. They can compare, collect, and display a wide range of cuts while gradually building their own digital museum.

In addition to familiar shapes such as round, oval, cushion, and emerald cuts, the game includes many complex designer cuts with distinctive facet structures. Depending on the mineral type, color, transparency, and cut design, even the same stone can show a very different character.

[Ammolite and Play-of-Color Rendering]

Ammolite has been added as a mineral through an update.

Ammolite is a distinctive organic gemstone known for vivid colors such as red, green, blue, and gold that appear depending on viewing angle and lighting. In RigidGems Museum, this angle-dependent color change is rendered in real time, allowing ammolite to stand apart from transparent gemstones with its own unique brilliance and presence.

Ammolite can be obtained as an item, and it can also be mined and cut. Minerals with structural color or play-of-color require a different kind of visual treatment from ordinary transparent gemstones, making them one of the game’s distinctive graphical features.

[Fantasy-Style Inclusions]

RigidGems Museum includes inclusion elements that appear inside gemstones.

Some inclusions are not direct recreations of natural inclusions found in real minerals. Instead, they are expressed as fantasy-style motifs such as flowers, planets, and galaxies. These are not part of a gemological appraisal simulation, but game-specific discovery, collection, and visual enjoyment elements.

Even with the same mineral and cut, the type of inclusion inside the stone can greatly change its impression. You can search for beautiful, rare, or mysterious stones and display them as part of your own collection.

[Gallery and Display]

Cut gemstones can be placed in galleries to create your own exhibition space.

You can arrange stones for comparison, build a display around rare gems, or create themed galleries based on color, shape, or atmosphere. Updates have added display items and glass cases, making it possible to create a more museum-like space.

RigidGems Museum is not a game about efficiency or competition. It is a quiet collection experience centered on gathering minerals, trying different cuts, and enjoying beautiful stones at your own pace.

[Who Is This Game For?]

RigidGems Museum may appeal to players who enjoy:

・Gemstones, minerals, and cut designs
・Collecting and comparing beautiful stones
・Collection systems and gallery building
・Calm experiences centered on observing beautiful objects
・Crafting and simulation elements at their own pace
・Collecting gemstones with fantasy-style inclusions
・Mineral effects that change color depending on angle, such as ammolite, opal, or labradorite
・Real-time ray tracing performance testing
・Checking rendering load not only in fixed benchmarks, but also from any viewpoint, object, or scene during gameplay

This game focuses on discovery, collection, observation, and display rather than competition.

[Graphics and System Behavior]

RigidGems Museum runs on an independently developed real-time rendering engine.

This game is not limited to DXR-compatible GPUs. The engine includes its own ray tracing process, so the game can also run on GPUs without RT cores. If DXR is available, DXR rendering can be selected, but depending on your environment, turning DXR off may result in smoother performance.

GPU generation and performance do not automatically change the visual quality itself. A more powerful GPU can provide higher resolutions and smoother frame rates, but the game does not support AI upscaling features such as DLSS.

If the game feels heavy, reducing resolution, graphics settings, or switching the post-effect depth-of-field blur to a lighter setting may improve performance.

[For Advanced Users: RT Display and Benchmark Features]

In addition to the main game, RigidGems Museum includes a benchmark mode for checking real-time ray tracing performance.

During normal gameplay, you can also enable the information display with the i key to view GPU name, resolution, FPS, trace/sec, and rays/pixel in real time. Instead of only using fixed benchmark scenes, you can directly observe how rendering load changes in any scene, viewpoint, or object within the game.

This feature is intended as an additional tool for hardware enthusiasts and technically minded players. It is not required for normal gameplay.
