Greetings Bay 12, and well wishes to all.  I figured on announcing this project here earlier rather than later, since I'd like an informal place to store links and thoughts for it, and though it's just in it's infancy, I hope and think it can grow quickly.

Site 17 is a survival horror roguelike-in-progress inspired by Nethack and DF, set in the SCP Universe.  You play the role of the last surviving member of Mobile Task Force Rho-8, sent in to investigate Foundation Site 17 after [REDACTED] caused the site to [REDACTED] which of course is likely to result in an XK-Class end-of-the-world scenario.  Details like how to save the world from [REDACTED] and why this is happening will be exposited in the briefing.

The game uses the libtcod library and is built from the tutorial engine seen here at Roguebasin, which provided a fun way to learn Python and develop a functional little roguelike at the same time.  This is hardly a game yet (if you try combat you'll see what I mean), and no actual SCPs are in there yet. 

Hordes of maddened SCP staff will be easier to wade through when firearms are in, at least until they carry guns too.  I'd like to try and include an actual SCP before the next demo release.  Tonight saw persistent dungeon levels implemented, but it currently needs skill tracking, equipment, repopulate methods, combat formulas and a speed/timing system.  I'll be working on these in whichever order I figure them out.

Jotaf's engine is pretty flexible and it's easy to switch around object components, which is good for all the SCPs that mutate people.  Setting up a system for player equipment seems to me like the next proper step, but I'm not a very experienced programmer and would appreciate the counsel of my betters if I suggest or do something dull or half-witted.

Anyway, I recently figured out how to neatly compile the scripts, so please feel free to check out the demo posted up top!  The source is included, the program is totally open-source and everyone here is welcome to it, though I would like to reserve the position of Editor-Tyrant for Life over the official build.  Also, there are a couple BSD licenses involved in the source, so please keep the license files along with any redistributions you make.

Thanks for reading, and watch out for 173.

The Baguirmi Sultanate was a Kingdom situated in the center of Africa, southeast of the Kanem-Bornu Empire.  During the early 1800's, Baguirmi was a dilapidated and backwards state facing tremendous pressure from the better established Ouaddai Kingdom.  It was not Ouaddai, however, but Bornu, that returned to oust Baguirmi from Massenya and burn it to the ground, forcing the last sultan of the kingdom to seek refuge as a French protectorate.

Main Goals:  Build up an army and modernize it as quickly as possible.  Baguirmi is stuck in the Middle Ages when it comes to technology and is surrounded by hostile nations, so we'll need to be careful in the beginning.  We must crush the Ouaddai and Bornu Kingdoms to ensure we do not make a repeat of history.

Ultimate Goals:  Sweep east through Africa, oust the infidel Christian Ethiope king from power and threaten Egypt for dominance of the Red Sea. land.  Become a great power and protect the faithful of Africa from European aggression by forming a pan-Muslim empire throughout the continent.  (this would not be easy, to understate.)

The Emirate of Bukkhara was an independent Uzbek state established in 1785 that slowly rose from the city of Bukkhara to control the surrounding territory, including the ancient city of Samarkand, bustling trade center and the resting place and legacy of the great and powerful Timur.  Bukkhara is ruled by the ruthless Nasrullah Khan, who is said to have ascended to power by the murder of his four brothers and was known for executing dignitaries.  Historically, Nasrullah Khan initiated military campaigns against the Khanate of Kokand that ended in miserable failure, and died a notorious and ill-regarded figure after thirty-four years of rule.  Bukhara would later be devoured by Russia and incorporated into the Krai of Turkestan.

Main Goals:  Succeeding where Nasrullah failed by taking control of Kokand and the Khivan Khanate, restoring the Uzbek people to a position of prominence.  Fending off the hungry advances of Russia, China and Persia while modernizing the nation.

Ultimate Goals:  Acquiring a swath of territory to rival that claimed by the great Timurid dynasty, that our ancestors may rest easily in their tombs knowing we have reclaimed their greatness.

The Herero are African herdsmen who were primarily occupied with their squabbles with the Nama tribes, who brought guns and European trade along with them.  They granted parcels of land to German settlers, who set up farms in Herero territory and eventually subsumed the entire region as the colony of German South-West Africa.  Over the years many thousands of Herero would be slain by German soldiers comitting what is referred to as genocide.

Main Goals:  Suck up to Great Britain and hope to survive until Westernization.  Our technology is laughable, our income non-existent, and we lack a standing army at the start.  Tribal government is not good for rulers, so we'll be trying to engineer a massive rebellion as quickly as possible.  We have a good stretch of coastline and if we can stay on good terms with the English there's a chance we'll survive with an oversized navy.

Ultimate Goals:  Unify as much of Africa as possible, driving Europe from the continent completely.  This will be very hard by my reckoning.

Today, the Kingdom of Morocco is ruled by the same dynasty that governed Morocco through one of their most trying periods.  While Algiers and Tripoli fell to European expansion relatively quickly, Morocco managed to stay independent until instability and military weakness allowed the Europeans to impose themselves into the realm.  The Treaty of Fez made Morocco a protectorate in 1912, divided between France and Spain, and for many years the people of Morocco would suffer the suppression of basic human rights until regaining independence in 1956.

Main Goals:  Survive.  Morocco's mighty Black Guard will help fend off Europe's appetite, but it won't be enough.  We'll need a humongous navy and the merciful grace of Allah to survive long enough to reclaim our lands from the cross-worshipers.

Ultimate Goals:  Take possession of the better part of Africa before Europe does.  We're in a better position than most to do this, but it will be a race, and raising infamy will be very risky until we're able to clash with France and Spain on even terms.

The Saudis of the Najd were the ones who ultimately took control of the Arabian peninsula and the holy city of Mecca, but in 1836, the Saudis are still in tribal warfare with the Emirate of Ha'il, rulers of the Highland of Arabia.  The Sultunate of Nejd would not come into power as such until 1921, when the house of Saud finally emerged victorious from the long and bitter war.

Main Goals:  Surviving, unlike the real Ha'il Emirate - this will be accomplished by defeating all Arabian nationalists.  We may unify Arabia ourselves to seal our dominance over the land, but dealing with Egypt may prove difficult if their fancy new military manages to defeat the Ottoman Empire.  And we must back the mongrel armies of Europe should they dare to land their soldiers on Muslim shores.

Ultimate Goals:  Conquer the entirety of Arabia and begin a colonial empire in Africa.  Judea and Palestine must be taken into safety as well, for they are holy lands.

The Papal States suffered greatly as a result of the French Revolution.  Having lost Avignon and the Legations to Napoleon's forces, with much of Europe falling away from the Holy Church, the Papacy has seen better days.  What little political power the Holy See retains is kept under thumb by the impositions of post-revolutionary France, and Rome has become quite old-fashioned with Pope Gregory's reactionary ways.  But as the head of the Church, we command respect among all Catholic nations, nay - We demand it.

Main Goals:  Transform Rome from a backwards state with the last Jewish Ghetto in Europe to a booming center of commerce and industry.  Spread the Word of the Lord to the uncivilized heathens of Africa and Asia.  Adhere to Christian principles and declare only just wars to re-establish the Papal States as a nation of esteem.  Resist the unification efforts of other Italians.

Ultimate Goals:  Spread the Papal States to the reaches of the former Roman Empire and wrest the holy land from the clutches of the Mohammedan heretics, that all members of the Church may travel there in safety.

Sulu, also known as the Sultanate of Sulu Dar al-Islam, is an island nation based on the island of Jolo in the South Phillipines.  In 1836, Sulu's reach extends to several smaller islands and the northeast of Borneo, where Sulu's vassal Bulungan is situated.  Historically, the Suluese were defeated and annexed by the Spanish, who conquered the Sultanate in 1837 with a devastating surprise attack.  Sulu remained in Spanish control until 1899 when it was ceded to the United States of America, and the Sultan was gradually stripped of even ceremonial power.

Main Goals:  Conquer Borneo, Aceh and Japan as quickly as possible.  With the superior literacy of the Japanese we'll be well of the way to Westernizing.  We'll need to make nice with the Spanish and the Dutch especially until Sulu is powerful enough for it to not matter.

Ultimate Goals:  Unify as much of Indonesia as possible under the Suluese banner and form a vast navy to repel the Dutch and Spanish from the region.  With clever brinkmanship and western naval units we'll be able to win the war with irregulars.

The Swiss Confederation, at this time a loose collection of cooperative republics lead by Bern as the federal canton, established under the Congress of Vienna following Napoleon's defeat.  There the powers of Europe agreed to respect Swiss neutrality for all time.  Since then, the Confederation has avoided war and focused on internal development in friendly isolation from the hazards of contemporary Europe.  Each of the cantons of Switzerland are a sovereign state with complete autonomy and, historically, would remain that way until 1848, when a new Constitution was drafted and the cantons were unified into one federal republic.

Main Goals:  Building up our nation will prove to be a challenge.  Swiss neutrality will only be respected as long as we stay out of war, and the King of Prussia will be only too happy to pursue his claim on Neuchâtel if we let down our Guard.

Ultimate Goals:  Conquer Germany and France.  We accept both cultures and will be able to field an unstoppable army once we do so.  We'll spread freedom to the oppressed nations of the world, 'cause to heck with neutrality!

The United States of America are far more loosely conjoined than they will be, but they are still one nation, for the time being.  The USA have many ambitions towards the western frontier and haven't really much in the way stopping them.  Currently they are involved in the Second Seminole War, and the hawks in Congress are keen to lend a hand to the slaver republic of Texas now fighting for independence against Santa Anna's Mexican Empire, but America's finances swim in dire straits from the enormous cost of the Seminole conflict, and will need some time to recuperate her economy.

Main Goals:  Expand the Union.  There are cores on a few Indian states, and they're no match for us militarily, once we get the manpower to field more regiments.  Preserve the Union.  There has been too much talk of secession these days over such a thing as petty as the right to own slaves.  (The mod adds nation data to every state, which means nationalist rebels; the U.S. is much less prone to shift in government than it is to completely falling to pieces).  Allowing the Civil War to take place will be considered failure of a tertiary objective.  We'll abolish slavery and we'll do it without bloodshed, by George!

Ultimate Goals:  Fulfill our Manifest Destiny, or pursue an entirely different course through history, like eating Canada, liberating nations around the world, forging a colonial Empire.  Maybe a WC attempt.  The USA's a guaranteed superpower late-game if they're all in one piece, so I'd go for pretty much anything that doesn't play out like something from a textbook (I'll likely make very wacky decisions to keep it fun).  Allowing the Constitution to be repealed (i.e. government switch to monarchy/dictatorship from a rebellion) is considered a most dishonorable outcome.

Rapa Nui is a tiny island nation far west of the coast of Ecuador.  The people of Rapa Nui live a pastoral existence sustained by farming chickens and are governed by the warrior-caste of their religion, a regional form of ritual ancestor worship known as the "Bird Man Cult."  European explorers ventured into the island by 1760, bringing the Christian faith, along with a host of diseases.  The two-thousand inhabitants of the island are constantly fighting in civil feuds that threaten this already fragile population.

Main Goals:  Stay alive, somehow.  Medicine is top priority, as any OPM is subject to crippling outbreaks of disease.  Rapa Nui hasn't enough population to field a single brigade, and the province has the lowest life rating in the game, and so the tiny number of people they have can only diminish.  Playing this game would be next to impossible and pretty boring and I'm regretting even suggesting it.

Ultimate Goals:  Please, do not make me pick this.

General 'Kaguro' Fotthoriteb, male.  A powerhouse with a heart of gold, ruled by his impulses.
Colonel 'Argembarger' Mebzuthnelas, male.  Cheery and patient, but rather inward.
Major 'Mzbundifund' Kelmishos, male.  Flimsy and moody, but something of a genius.
Sergeant 'fivex' Loloklanggud, male.  Clumsy but tough, hates toads.
Quartermaster 'Felcis' Nokgollikot, female.  Conniving and spiteful and stubborn, but focused.
Chaplain Inod Konavuz, female.  Utter space case.  A bit daft.
Commandant 'Sethis' Kolstinthad, male.  Verbose and friendly, though horribly unintuitive.
