Story generators are unique game systems that can create a much wider range of emotions than traditional video games ever could. In addition to the joy of victory, the bitterness of defeat, the wonder of exploration, and the pleasure of harmony, the semi-autonomous creatures in story generators can give players complex feelings related to empathy toward other creatures. These can be pride in successes, fear of loss, empathy for grief, sentimentality, and so on.



For the emotions to become more alive and vibrant, the events that evoke them must surprise the player. This is achieved through unexpected combinations and interactions, which can be accomplished if semi-autonomous actors function in curious and unpredictable ways. In other words, you need chaos, and you need complexity. We can say that story generators are complex, deterministic, and chaotic systems.

That's why we tried to include a lot of different systems in the game: crime and punishment, personal property (you can't take away aristocrats' jewelry, but they can donate it to a church, for example, or give it to a loved one), the institution of religion, social classes, rituals, and so on. There are many different factors at play here in Norland that make up vital aspects to the game.

Since we’ll play as a family of aristocrats, they have the opportunity to work a few hours a day (or not at all), rather than constantly as in other colony simulations. This way, they have the opportunity to build relationships among themselves more visibly, engage in intrigue, learn, and have fun. In this respect, their interaction is closer to the Sims. But the Sims lacks what makes Rimworld's stories so compelling: drama.



Drama is realized through the pressures of the systems at hand: the conflicts, the scarcity of resources, the danger of a sudden and unexpected death. To put it bluntly: drama is realized through survival.

But what can add drama to the lives of aristocrats? Death by starvation or fatigue does not threaten them. The solution is logical - their lives are threatened by other actors. This could be the same aristocrats but from other families, intra-family competition, or a threat from characters of other classes, such as a slave revolt.

The social mechanics we mentioned above also work for conflicts: the reason for killing one character by another can be envy (originating from the mechanics of property or inheritance of power), religious differences, criminal impunity, etc. There are many different ways that these stories could end in conflict and death, and it’s the unpredictability of these reasons that make Norland’s storytelling powers so engaging.

Thus, the dramatic survival of a family of aristocrats in an aggressive, complex social environment makes for a potent and compelling generator.

What's up Depthians!

A quick little hotfix that addresses some small issues with the new camera system, we also added nicer transitions when swapping camera views.
If you do not like the transitions you can set the camera transition time to 0 from View & Control.


In the current stable update, we have incremental garbage collection turned off. This may have affected some PC builds differently due to different configurations of hardware (GPU/CPU).

We are trying to find out which method will be best for the player base by having IGC off or on.
In this current beta build we will reinstate IGC, as we are interested in whether the game is more stable with IGC off or on. For example: Is the game crashing more often with IGC on? Is the game freezing less with IGC on compared to the current stable?

If you see more crashes, firstly please ensure you are not running any mods no matter how insignificant you think it may be. You can then create a bug ticket here attach the log file from your FTD profile to the ticket:
Default is: C:\Users\yourprofile\Documents\From The Depths\Logs

Your player.log file from:
C:\Users\yourprofile\AppData\LocalLow\Brilliant Skies\From_The_Depths

The crash dump from:
C:\Users\yourprofile\AppData\local\CrashDumps

Please also include a description of what you were doing when it crashed thanks!

• Incremental garbage collection has been turned back on

• Junction has had orientations fixed (made the same as the mesh) and removed from build menu.

• Camera control code was overhauled to fix a number of issues. New transitions between camera modes can be disabled in the options menu by setting the \" transition time\" to 0."

We're excited to share the trailer with you which shows you some of the early development footage. We hope you enjoy it! As the game progresses we will update the trailer and release more footage.

The Turret Systems having been progressing well. Currently there are 8 different systems, each with their own special role to play. For air targets, the Missile Turret targets drones and launches heat seeking missiles. Incoming mortars and missiles can be picked out of the sky by the gatling guns of the Anti-Missile Turret.

Ground Targeting Turret Systems specialize in different ranges from the long range Sniper Turret to the short range Shotgun Turret. Some Turrets degrade the enemy's shields while others are more effective against armour. Although each Turret is quite basic at first, use the Tech Tree to upgrade different systems on each Turret class to bring them to their greatest lethality.

The temporal anomaly crisis has resulted in some truly horrific partnerships, but none so far has compared to the explosive entry of Captain Tilly into the Alpha Quadrant. Having quickly recruited both Ardra and a version of Kes possessed by Ilari warlord Tieran, Tilly laid waste to the entirety of the Beta Penthe system, freeing all of the prisoners on Rura Penthe and causing devastation to a key Klingon system. All of the galaxy agrees: the Witch of Wurna Minor and her allies must be stopped before any more lives are lost.
