Ex nihilo (latin) means out of nothing, and that kinda is what this game is about. (It's basically the theme after all)
Ex nihilo is a city builder game, on an island, in the middle of the ocean. In our game, you obtain your own island for *free!* It's now your mission to make it into a money making machine
Every island is procedurally generated. Which means that it is 'random' in a sense. Essientialy, every island is different.
You manage your island and try and make it as wealthy as possible!
-Use WASD for camera movement
-Hold mouse1 and drag to rotate the camera
-Press E or click the button to open build menu
-While placing a building press R to rotate it 45 degress
-An interval or cycle, is usually every 30 seconds, a building uses or produces 'currency' each interval.
-Money is obviously a currency. You use it to buy stuff, you get it from tax-paying citizens.
-Power is a another currency in Ex nihilo. Every building either produces or consumes power each interval/cycle. If your power goes below 0, you lose money.
-Happiness is a currency as well. Your happiness determines how much money your citizens are willing to pay as taxes per interval.
-Your level is determined by how much XP you have earned throughout the game. *Pro-tip: hover over your level to show your progress toward the next level
-Unity (engine)
-Visual studio (programming)
-Blender (models)
-Reason (music)
-Paint.net graphics and sprites
*^ Procedural generation ^*
*^ Specialize ^*
Unfortuneatly the WebGL has a wierd error when loading the game, so the WebGL version doesn’t work at the moment. Please download the PC version or wait till the game is avaible for WebGL.
*You should know before playing the game that in it's current state the game has __a lot of balancing issues and bugs.__ We will try to fix these as soon as possible*
If you incounter any bugs or problems or just feedback in general, please leave a comment.
*Thanks and enjoy our game!*
