Hello fellow pilgrims, time for another new update. Let's start with the big one:

Console versions coming!

Today I can officially announce the release date of the console version of Nowhere Prophet! You will finally be able to lean back and play with a controller on your favorite platform starting, because the game launches on the 30th of July!
In just a few weeks you can get your favorite dust-punk deck-builder on SWITCH, XBOX ONE and PLAYSTATION 4. And you can PRE-ORDER STARTING NOW! I'm terribly excited to finally see the game hit the consoles. But that's not all! I've updated the PC version again and here's what's in it this time:

Spanish translation

Thanks to the wonderful Andrs Moreno Garca Nowhere Prophet is now available in Spanish! All interface texts, cards and events have been translated. With the amount of words in the game each language is a major undertaking and Andrs has been hard at work for a while. So both of us are very happy to finally present it to you!

Unlocks update, again

With the last update I changed the unlocks requirements for convoys and classes, adding an end-of-game unlock condition. This version was in testing for a while to collect feedback and seemed fine when I released it. However your feedback quickly showed me that the conditions are still a bit too opaque and confusing. Simply put: It's too much of a feelbad to complete the game with the right prerequisites only to pick the wrong ending. This update removes the "right ending" part and adds some resource minimums instead. So here are the new end-conditions: The Banshee: complete the game as the Echo. The Breaker: complete the game as the Tower. The Tower: complete the game as the Spider. The Seer: complete the game as the Stalker. The Stalker: complete the game as the Banshee. The Spider: complete the game as the Firebrand. The Faithful: complete the game with the Traders and 20 Believer. The Forgotten: complete the game with the Horde and 50 Hope. The Horde: complete the game with the Nomads and 100 Food. The Raiders: complete the game with the Pioneers and as Slaver. The Swarm: complete the game with the Wanderers and 20 Scholar. The Traders: complete the game with the Explorers and 150 Batteries. The Pioneers: complete the game with the Swarm and 30 Altruism.

Bugfixes

As always there's been some bugfixes along the way that have made it in this build. A big thank you to everyone that sent a bugreport my way. Feel free to use the Steam forums or preferably the Nowhere Prophet Discord to get in touch.

a small secret

I've also put in some time to add a tiny secret to the game for the truly hardcore among you. If you find it let me know :)

Nowhere Prophet is a roguelike deck-building game set in a post-apocalyptic future.



Take on the role of a powerful leader and mystic. Empowered with the gifts of technopathy, the ability to sense and affect eletrical currents.

You are the last hope to a band of outcastes and refugees. Lead them across the randomly generated wastelands. Pick fights with greedy slavers and crazy machines using the turn-based card combat. But always spend your resources carefully. Can you survive long enough to reach the mysterious Crypt?

These features make Nowhere Prophet stand out

• Card-based tactical combat system
  
• Randomly generated maps and events
  
• Two decks to build: Followers and Leader!
  
• Unlock new content across multiple playthroughs
  
• Stunning and confident art style
  
• A fresh non-western post-apocalyptic world
  
• Indian infused electronica soundtrack

A roguelike deck-building game

Nowhere Prophet is a single player card game with procedurally generated maps, a high difficulty and permadeath. At it's heart are two distinct parts of gameplay: Travel and combat.


TRAVEL
During travel you navigate across a procedurally generated map. Make sure your convoy has enough resources to travel as you pick your route. On your journey you will encounter strange places and even stranger people. You will be thrust into situations that put the fate of your followers in your hands.

If you're lucky enough to gain some rewards, maybe for helping someone - or robbing them, then you can invest those to improve your decks. Recruit more followers to have more and different units to put into battle. Equip your prophet or level up and learn new skills to have access to stronger action cards in combat.

COMBAT
You will have to overcome some enemies to keep your convoy and resources together. And sometimes you may even want to pick a fight for righteousness or just for loot. Once in battle the game changes to the turn-based card game mode.

Play convoy cards to put your followers onto the field and position them so you can overcome your enemy. Or play action cards to dramatically change the battlefield. But be careful: If you're wounded you will have to find a safe place to heal. And if one of your followers takes too many wounds, they are lost forever.

A science-fiction post-apocalypse

Nowhere Prophet is set on a far off planet called Soma. Your story begins many years after the Crash, a complete technological collapse. Civilization has broken down and the lack of resources made everyone turn either bandit or madman.


In this world inspired by Indian culture you lead a convoy of outcastes. These desperate men and woman following your vision of a better future. Under your guidance they travel with you through the wastelands. Your goal is the Crypt, a mystical place that promises untainted technology and safety.

If you can survive long enough to find it.
