A fantasy world colony simulator and procedural world map generator written in Rust using Macroquad.

Version: 0.1 alpha – World Generator Demo

Currently expanding on the tileset. Features animated water for ocean, river, and sea biomes.

Features

• Animated water for ocean, river, and sea biomes (water tileset demo)
• Expanding and improving biome tileset (work in progress)
• Fantasy world simulation: manage a colony in a procedurally generated world
• Procedural world generation with biomes, elevation, rivers, civilizations, and cities
• Biome sprite rendering (PNG assets, see assets/biome_sprite_map.json)
• Colony management: dig, build, and interact with the world
• Creatures, particles, and local map simulation
• Civilization and city placement, trade routes
• Debug logging for world generation steps and timing
• Multiple map views: Biome, Temperature, Vegetation, Precipitation, Elevation, Civilization

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Rust (https://rustup.rs/)

Build and Run

cargo run --release

Controls

• Switch between world map and local map with Tab
• Zoom and pan with your mouse or keyboard
• Dig and build using mouse buttons in local map mode

Assets

• Biome sprites are mapped in assets/biome_sprite_map.json and loaded from the assets/ directory.

Debugging
