WorldGame

States fail when space, time, and throughput stop scaling — not from unrest or politics.

WorldGame is a materialist, logistics-first world simulation set in the Late Middle Ages (1300–1500, no gunpowder). Power is limited by physics and geography, not opinion. You grow settlements into states by designing production networks and transport capacity that scale across space and time. Success comes from building systems that remain legible and resilient under pressure.

The project is currently in the design specification and pre-alpha stage. All game systems are defined as design documents, YAML schemas, and reference tables, with a working engine prototype and 3D client.

Design Pillars

Logistics as Ceiling

Transport capacity limits power, not money. Road throughput, river barges, and warehouse buffers define what your state can sustain.

Production Chains

Multi-step production from raw extraction to finished goods. Deterministic formulas — no random rolls, no hidden modifiers. Every output is traceable.

Spatial Growth

Begin with 100 settlers and a caravan. Build a subsistence village, then structured towns, then interconnected regions. Over-extension is mechanical, not political.

Deterministic Simulation

Integer math, seeded randomness, reproducible outcomes. Stock-and-flow mechanics for all population and economic behavior — no individual agents.
