New page

== Hermitage ==

Hermitage - construction and management simulator, where player take control of a small mining party in the asteroid field, inspired by Dwarf Fortress and Oolite.

=== Key points of narrative ===

* Galaxy is inhabited by multiple races and faction with complex political relationships.
* Player-controlled mining operations are small-scale and do not affect universe - just a small party of men, trying to earn their living.
* On the contrary, major events in the outer galaxy can have big impact on player's campaign.

=== Key points of game mechanics ===

* Procedural generation of environment - both asteroid field and universe around it.
* Asteroids are destructible - digging them out provides both raw materials and empty space to occupy.
* Player has in-game avatar - mining party commander, who can be controlled in first-person mode.
* Other party members (8 or less at the game start) controlled through jobs distribution.

=== Key points of architecture ===

* Minimalistic game core implemented in C++ using [https://www.unrealengine.com/ Unreal Engine 4].
* Extensibility through [http://skookumscript.com/ SkookumScript].
* Reasonable target system requirements - should be fluently playable on current-gen budget laptops.

=== Key points of development model ===

* Dedicated development team concentrates on game core, providing platform for community to improve it with gameplay extensions.
* Game is distributed for free including all community extensions.
* Community modders wanting to support core development team may release some strictly non-essential content of their extensions (additional textures, model variations, music tracks, etc) as "tribute". Such content is avaliable only to players buying special "sugar daddy" DLC's.
* Income from this DLC's remains under control of core development team, but all financials are strictly public.
* In case of such model generating funds excessive for covering core development needs, surplus should be used for rewarding talented modders through public initiatives - contest awards, bounties for popular feature requests, etc.
* Upon gathering up active modding community, sources of game core are published under permissive license.
