A political simulator, city builder and 4X game set in an earth running out of resources.
Welcome to the development blog of Depleted Earth: Nation States, where you can follow the progress of DE:NS.
So what is Depleted Earth? It is a political simulator, city builder and 4X game set in an earth running low on resources. There are no set objectives, instead you try to survive as long as possible and build your ideal civilization.
So have a look around, share and comment. See you next time.
So far I have built a prototype interface for the game, and wrote a list of planned features. A lot of the design work behind the mechanics has also been completed already.
This is the interface so far, with the map on the top left, tile placing options below that and the main policies tabs on the left. Of those, the Administration and Trade tabs have been started, although there is currently no functionality.
And here is the current planned features list, which will also be available elsewhere on this website. As you can see, some of these have already been put in the prototype interface. More will be added to this list in the future.
