It has been five weeks since the last update. A new version, v0.33.0, was published. Audio Gecko continues working on improving the audio of the game; the UI effects are almost completely covered, and we began experimenting with spot ambiances with the towns. New Unit models We decided to take the leap and remake the appearance of all the units; we are looking forward to abandoning the previous bulky anatomies replacing them with more anatomically correct bodies with more details and higher texture quality.
We still need to add more variety to them, and we are still working in the Spanish units as well as integration of these new units into the game (as well as improving the workflow to integrate new fragments and variations more easily)
The DevTeam at DevCom 2021 We participated in DevCom 2021 (pitching a separate game we are planning for 2022). However, we also did a dev team stream, talking about the (updated) history of NovaMundi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzd-mwVm810 Some of the topics we discussed included:

The many shifts in the theme for the project and their effect on the ongoing development.
The current work in many facets of the game, as we approach the end of Early Access.
The feedback we have received from the Early Access phase from streamers such as Nookrium and their communities, and how we have integrated it into the game. (including the work we have done to make the game feel more alive)
Classifying NovaMundi as part of a genre. RTS? Survival? Strategy RPG? Roguelike?
WarTales we noticed it.
Playing the current version of the game, some tips from the experts!
New roles for upcoming non-combat units.
Recent changes in exploration and navigation such as time compression.

What is NovaMundi?

NovaMundi is a procedural exploration RPG with survival elements in which you lead a group of native warriors and explorers who traverse the vast and dangerous territories of the Andean mountains.

The many populations of the Muisca territory stand divided and are constantly threatened by the nearby Panche and Muzo people. In this scenario, a run-down group of Spanish explorers has reached their land and seeks to profit from these divisions and conflicts to make alliances and ultimately gain control of it.

Procedural roguelite in the Andean mountains

NovaMundi uses procedural generation to create a new map every time. Mountains and rivers will make it difficult to travel the lands of the Muisca, no matter how many times you’ve explored them. When your party dies, it’s time to explore again.

On the way, you’ll meet the natives and participate in their struggles, explore caves; holy sites for the Muisca now unpredictable due to the upheaval caused by the Spanish invaders in the land. All this while you fight hunger, disease, beasts, and humans.

Key Features

Runs packed with content: Focus on the main quest to unite the Muisca confederation against the European invaders, help the natives in their jobs, explore procedurally generated caves fighting beasts and mythical creatures from the Muisca culture, search for exotic animals from the Andean mountains in the paramos, jungles, and swamps of the region and much more. You’ll need several runs to experience it all!
A unique setting: NovaMundi takes place during the Spanish conquest of South America in the XVI century. Meet one of the cultures that originated the legend of “El Dorado”: the Muisca.
Perks to tailor your experience: Is the game too hard? Too easy? Maybe you’d like to freshen the experience… NovaMundi has a perk system that allows you to tailor your experience to your wants and needs instead of an arbitrary difficulty system. Maybe you don’t want to play with diseases, or you’d like the challenge of only being able to use one kind of troop, or starting without any gold. Maybe you’re a fan of Andean wildlife and would like to recruit the help of jaguars and spectacled bears. You can do it with perks.
Real-time battles with big warbands and big consequences: While combat is not the focus of the game, NovaMundi has a satisfying combat system in which you can battle many different units against big enemy groups. Battle several dozen Muisca warriors of several classes, archers, and beasts against Panche raiders and Spanish invaders. Face archers against melee fighters and protect your frontline using guardians. Each individual is unique; if wounded they will need several days to heal, and if they die… There is no escape from the cold embrace of death.
