Procedural Generation

Gateworlds is a nomadic colony sim about exploring a wild frontier through mystical portals. Manage your settlement and lead expeditions to explore other lands, while defending your settlers from the many threats that abound in the strange and wonderful Gateworlds.Lead your settlersEach settler is an individual with their own skills, traits, relationships, and desires. If you can keep them all happy, loyal, and injury-free, the group will thrive. That won't be easy, however: the Gateworlds are a challenging place to live.Explore new worldsTravel through a mystical gate to procedurally-generated new worlds. Explore mountains and deserts, floodplains and mangroves... but keep an eye on the time, as the gate won't stay open forever. If it closes before all your settlers have returned, you'll have to choose which group to follow, and which to abandon to their fate. Maybe you'll find them again later. Maybe something else will find them first.Manage your settlementNo sprawling towns here! Periodic relocation makes most frontier settlements lean and functional. Sleeping quarters, workstations, and a defensive wall are the only necessities, though most settlers will appreciate any further comforts available. Grow crops, hunt game, and process the resources you need to craft and maintain everyone's equipment. It pays to be ready when the gate opens again.Face hostile conditions and dangerous creaturesUnder your direction, your settlers will brave bitter cold and blistering heat, deal with wildfires and floods, and defend themselves and their supplies from terrifying predators and formidable herbivores. And just as your settlers can travel through the gate, some of these creatures may decide to come the other way...This adventure is yours to shapeWill you move carefully, or plunge headlong into the unknown? Will you band together with other settlers, keep your distance, or plunder their settlements? Will you follow bloodthirsty Balatoc, god of blood? Tolerant Levia? Flexible Ydrig? Will you sacrifice everything to appease the Void, or spurn the gods and go it alone? Guide your settlement to write the story of a handful of settlers and their adventures across the strange frontier of the Gateworlds.
