How the game’s generated worlds, physical ship and long-distance travel fit together, what works now, and what still needs attention.
Before there is a polished game world, the systems that connect it have to exist. ProjectWander's prototype focuses on generated places, a physical ship and travel between different scales. Building interesting reasons to use those systems is ongoing work.
SYSTEM NOTES / THE CURRENT BUILD
Procedural worlds
A generated planet has to work both as something you approach from space and somewhere you can spend time on the ground. ProjectWander already generates deterministic planets and star systems alongside local terrain and environmental content.
The next part is less about the existence of terrain and more about what happens there: stronger environments, richer discovery and a reason to explore beyond the first landing.
Traversal and flight
The ship connects the two main ways of experiencing the game. On foot, the player is close to the terrain and whatever is there to find. In flight, that same location becomes a place to leave or return to.
The working loop includes entering the ship, taking off, flying, landing and exiting. That connection matters more to the project than treating the spacecraft as a separate mission or an animated transition.
System and interstellar travel
Surface exploration, local-system cruise and travel between stars involve different kinds of distance. ProjectWander includes local-system movement and explicit interstellar travel as part of its prototype.
Those foundations still need pacing, interesting destinations and game systems that give travel purpose. The goal isn't simply to make the map bigger; it's to make arriving somewhere feel earned.
