Domestication is back!

Tribes learn to domesticate wild plants & animals, which generate Items to equip in Structures, e.g:
🌱Crop Seeds➡️Farms
🐄Domesticated Animals➡️Pastures

Each species will generate unique Items, allowing a broad range of agriculture & pastoralism

Isotropic Voronoi cells.

I was trying to get a partition that feels a bit like how fields are laid out in the English countryside, it's not too far off.

sometimes the mountains in my game get a little intense ⛰️

here's a pretty long mountain range with only 1 narrow pass along the northern coast

@hardpenguin13 sure, some points of reference in terms of mechanics might be Old World and At The Gates, though there are significant differences due to the time period here (prehistory). and this trailer shows the gameplay in quite a bit of detail

Here are three player characters and three enemies.

The game is party-turn-based
strategy, based on a dark take of the afterlife.

Would you be interested based on the art alone?
