Current development

From metal to automation

Later eras and new systems are being prototyped in the project. Scope, visuals and balance keep evolving; these features are not part of 0.0.2 yet.

Energy chain in development

One energy source, several steps of production.

  1. 01Charcoal
  2. 02Heat · Tervyss
  3. 03Motion · Makavyr
  4. 04Electricity · Ektiven

Energy supplies power. Data controls devices. Transport moves resources. These three roles work together through suitable connections.

01

Energy & machines

Charcoal becomes heat, heat becomes motion, and motion becomes electricity. Physical connections link your machines.

Build a supply chain beyond individual workstations. A charcoal furnace provides Tervyss to a hot-air engine. The engine produces Makavyr for a forming press or generator; the generator supplies Ektiven for electrical devices.

Heat pipes, drive shafts and electrical cables use their own ports. Storage and available power determine which consumers you can supply.

Versux · Your routines

Write programs on a console and control devices over data connections. Switching a lamp on after dark is an early use case.

Versux is the in-game programming language. An editor and an executable language core are present in the project. A powered console with basic software can address connected devices and react to events.

A lamp can be switched through its data connection. A daylight sensor supplies readings for your own rules. Larger programs and more devices remain part of ongoing development.

Tablet · Access on the move

Connect wirelessly to a suitable console. Versux, Devices and Storage apps bring your network to the tablet screen.

A console equipped with a data radio adapter can be reached within 20 metres in the current prototype. Edit programs, inspect connected devices and access a reachable Vorysken hub through the Storage app.

Programs run on the console. Radio and data lines carry commands and information; moving materials also requires the appropriate transport connections.

Vorysken · Connect your supplies

A hub manages modular storage. Transport lines carry resources from production into your inventory network.

Vorysken brings a hub, storage housings and modules together into shared stock management. Items and material quantities have separate capacities. Deposit and withdrawal orders run in the background.

An initial loop connects a resource cultivation machine to storage. Distributors provide access to more housings and devices. Automatic crafting and broader networks are further development goals.

The direction

Progress, one step at a time.

The current plan spans ten eras. It is a flexible development framework; later eras are not complete gameplay chapters yet.

  1. Eras 1–2

    Publicly playable

    Survival, materials and your first settlement in Prototype 0.0.2.

  2. Eras 3–8

    In development

    Metalworking, cultivation, supply, energy and early automation exist as prototypes at varying levels of depth.

  3. Eras 9–10

    Long-term direction

    Larger Versux programs, advanced technology and spaceflight. No fully developed playable eras yet.

Before you play

Are the new systems in the download?

Public Prototype 0.0.2 covers Eras 1 and 2. The energy, Versux, tablet and Vorysken systems shown here describe the later project state.

When is the next version coming?

No release date has been announced for the new features described here. New public versions will be available on itch.io.

Can I use an older save?

A new world is recommended for Prototype 0.0.2. Save compatibility with future versions is not guaranteed yet.

Start with your first camp.
