Distant Flux: System Initializing
Distant Flux Games, LLC
MoreIn a distant universe, mindless hordes of mana-warped monsters assault all worlds in known space. With a powerful progression System, civilization stands firm, but casualties are high. The System has thus enacted protocol TERMINAL, allowing factions to connect expendable combat drones to remote pilots from other, non-magical universes, bypassing [REDACTED]. Mission Parameters A small scavenger faction accepted a System quest to establish a forward base on a tomb world. Pilot a drone to help the faction grow, survive, and ultimately exterminate all the monsters. To facilitate remote drone control, the System provides a text-based, mouse-driven shell to input drone commands across the orthogonal universe connection. Should the drone be destroyed, a copy will be spawned at the base’s System pylon, though loss of items and mana may be inevitable. Note that due to relativistic phenomena, time effectively stops in the remote universe while the pilot makes decisions. Details Explore a hand-designed open world, with diverse biomes, locations, resources, anomalies, treasures, and dangers. Delve into post-apocalyptic magitech ruins, hunting monsters and old world relics to boost your faction's base, and absorbing various kinds of mana to fuel your progression. Earn faction prestige while helping research new tech, craft new items, construct upgrades, and gather resources. Spend the prestige on gear, consumables, and progression from the faction shop, or influence faction project queue orders. Disrupt and exterminate a monster ecosystem that mindlessly attacks anything, including each other. Monsters will grow stronger over time, and monster bosses will attempt to construct new spawners. While your base starts in a less dangerous sector, it won’t stay that way forever. Blast monsters with mana-powered energy weapons and railguns, or equip powerful catalysts to bolster your innate spells. The world includes nine magic types plus physical damage, and also includes features such as force field, stamina, over-time status conditions, lifesteal, armor-piercing, calorie burn, stealth, magical vs physical detection, and more. Exploit them all to defeat your enemies. Subjective time is simultaneous turn-based. Remember that while you’re doing things, the world is doing things too, and assume that whatever you can do, entities in the world can do too. Outcomes are both deterministic and emergent. If you make the same decisions, you may expect the same results, but there are an immense number of possible decisions, and each can have ripple effects through the world.
