NovaMundi 0.35 - Trailblazer

Lets talk about the new version, 0.35 Trailblazer, here are the major changes but as always there were smaller bugs fixed along the way.
A new combat unit, the Spanish Trailblazer, has replaced all other Spanish units (at least momentarily) to fit with the new visual style of the units and our latest research. These lightly armored European warriors are armed with steel spears and appear along with Panche raider groups in the mid to late days of the invasion. The Muisca units were also improved with knives added to the Explorer unit, and new animations for the Guardians staff attack.
The interaction with towns has been improved with a redesign popup listing the population, including the role of each populator (to make it easier to distinguish the ones related to the quests from the ones that are merely informative). Deer hunting was also improved with them now having proper run animations, and with some tweaks on their behavior.
The text of the intro was completely remade to reflect on our latest developments of the theme of the game, mainly adjusting the portrayal of the European force as much less of a deadly invasion force while still a dangerous threat. The texts for the dialogs of the wayfarers where they describe surrounding animals have been localized, as well as the names of the animals and their description when you find one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcBSLpU8fp4 On the media front, the interview with Congreso and Sociedad for the TV channel of the Colombian Congress was finally released on YouTube; some interesting points were discussed. Finally, just for fun, I mocked up how would Encanto town (from the Disney movie) look inside the Expedition engine, using some assets from the previous incarnation of the project which I dont rule out reviving this year in some way (as a separate game).

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.
