The Path Forward for FORGE

Forge, as it is now, is a temporary means of testing the core logic and cost scaling of the nation simulator.

Phase I: Version 0.1.0 until 1.0.0

With a limited number of players. Phase I will consist of a spreadsheet-style game which will allow nations to manage their day-to-day tasks in a simple manner. During this phase we will be...

• Identify Bugs/Exploits
• Configure costs of nation assets to scale appropriately with time and nation size.
• Integrate player feedback and work on including your wants/needs.

Hope to Reach By: April 2026

Phase II: Version 1.0.0 until 2.0.0

On the surface, this will look much like Phase I. However, it is at this point that...

• Nation registration will be open to all.
• Wholesale changes to the game logic will be taking place.
• The 2D-RPG version of the game is built out in the background.

Hope to Reach By: August 2026

Phase III: Version 2.0.0 and Onward.

Finally, we've arrived at the goal set at the very beginning.

• Forge will take the form of a top down 2D pixel-art game.
• You will control your ruler, walking around the capital city of your nation and managing your nation from the within.
• Interact with your alliance-mates, friends, and enemies in customizable alliance clubrooms.

Hope to Reach By: January 2027

Keeping in Mind...

I am not a game developer by trade, just a fan of the Nation-Simulator genre. I will get to bug-reports and game-updates as-able, but this will take some time and hope my timeline reflects a realistic path forward.
