Explore & Navigate

🚧 In progress.

For the player: venture into the unknown, chart geography, and find peoples, resources, and opportunities others haven’t.

How memes make it live: you turn the unknown into location & lore memes — and the map in your head is an edge NPCs structurally lack (their knowledge is local and decays).

To design

Section titled “To design”
  • Travel and the navigation model (the precomputed waypoint graph; routes; hazards).
  • The fog of the unknown: what’s hidden, and how exploration reveals it.
  • How discovery of places/resources becomes durable location & lore memes you can use or sell.
  • Scale: local wayfinding → regional travel → expeditions into the truly uncharted.
