Il y a 12 000 ans, les premiers humains chassaient, cueillaient, baguenaudaient, érigeaient des mégalithes, commençaient à développer l’agriculture et l’artisanat, et se faisaient déjà la guerre, évidemment. Ce que la protohistoire évoque non sans difficulté vu le peu de traces de cette époque. Mais ce que ce nouveau city-builder vous permet par contre de jouer avec facilité, en développant donc un village et en le faisant évoluer au fil des âges, en commençant par l’âge de pierre pour aller jusqu’à l’âge de fer.
Pour plus d’informations sur l’intéressant et original Dawn of Man, sorti de l’âge de la bêta il y a peu, voyez cette page sur Steam ou le site officiel.
Ancien communiqué
We are announcing our new title, Dawn of Man!
The game is a spiritual successor to our previous title Planetbase, but set in a period of time starting about 12,000 years ago, when the last glacial period ended and human populations started to grow.
You will begin controlling a small hunter-gatherer camp, then expand and evolve until the dawn of history. You will have to face the same challenges our ancestors did, thousands of years ago.
Features
Dawn of Man features mechanics that are somewhat inspired by Planetbase but with quite a few differences (we are coding the game from scratch).
– You will be able to research new techs, to take your people from the Paleolithic up to the Iron Age.
– You will be able to micromanage them in detail (this is optional, you will still be able to do overall planning of the settlement).
– The game will be quite a bit longer, about twice the size of Planetbase.
– The environment plays a big role, you will have to learn how to deal with the different animals in order to hunt, domesticate, or defend against them.
– Combat is still not the main focus in the game, but plays an increased role, you will have to fortify your village and defend it against attacks.
