Nomad

A town on six legs crosses a hostile land, with the Swarm at its heels.

Nomad is an early prototype of a colony sim on the move. Steer the walker toward the pass in the east, extend its platform, add legs and engines, and build on the deck: every module adds weight. Send teams to search the ruins, keep your colonists fed and rested, and watch the west, where the Swarm sends scouts ahead.

Every run generates a new world: mountain ranges, canyons, rivers, forests and ruins.

Controls

• Click the ground to set the route
• Keys 1 to 6: pick a building, then click the deck to place it
• Q: extend the platform, E: add a pair of legs (both need a workshop)
• At a ruin: F to send a team, R to leave
• Drag to orbit the camera, mouse wheel to zoom
• P or Escape: pause menu (volume, graphics quality, language)

This browser prototype was built to test the idea and the look. A fuller version is in development. Feedback is very welcome in the comments.

Une ville sur six pattes traverse une terre hostile, le Swarm à ses trousses. Menez la colonie jusqu'au col, à l'est : agrandissez la plateforme, ajoutez des pattes et des moteurs, construisez sur le pont et envoyez des équipes fouiller les ruines. Prototype jouable dans le navigateur, en français et en anglais (menu pause). Une version plus complète est en cours de développement.
