Considering it's just a world-gen demo, I wouldn't worry about it. I think a release .exe would have to be figured out at some point though.

I fixed it.  :) I have work at 5 PM today, but I think I can manage to throw up a new tech demo with a list of features before then.

Okay --- here it is! This is the v0.2 alpha tech demo of Cult.  :D

There are quite a lot of new things to play around with, most of them contained in the world generation process. I've made a list below:

New features:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The worldgen process is relatively quick for me, but I'm on a quad-core computer with a gig of dedicated graphics running at ~4ghz/core. It's probably going to take quite a lot longer on older computers. My laptop, which has a 9800GT and two cores running at something like 2.2ghz/core, doesn't take a horrendous amount of time, so it shouldn't be *too* bad if your rig isn't ancient.

To access creature entries and nation information about worlds you generate, you have to go to the World Atlas.

That about does it. Enjoy!

(Oh, and I highly encourage people to post pictures of amusing/freakish creatures or names generated by the program just for fun, if anybody is so inclined.)

Credits:
The excellent music is by Sentientdeth here on the B12 forums.

A NOTE: After history generation finishes, there will be a noticeable pause while the program saves the generated world to a file. Clicking around and spazzing out is not advised here, as it'll probably make the game crash. Wait until it finishes saving and a message will be displayed indicating that you can proceed to the main menu.

Is there any way to lower the resolution? I may have asked before but I forget the answer. I'm running 1333x768 and that's STILL too small. Anyway, thanks for the tech demo!

E: To clarify, Game Settings might have the answer but it's giving me a black screen.

Unfortunately for the moment, not really. Lowering it would break all kinds of stuff. I'll make sure I include an init file that allows more compatibility with different resolutions once I start making real releases.

Hmm... rats. So what kind of resolution would I have to be running to see this thing?

It currently runs at 1200x800. I could pretty easily adjust this if need be. At the moment I don't have the time, because I need to get ready for work immediately, but I'll see what I can do for you as soon as I get out tonight. Sorry for the trouble!

nice, genned the first world.
after that, what is "the next step" ? (or how to read the history generated? )

edit: nevermind, found.
also: bugtracker note: if you press enter in the atlas menu, it goes back to number one, instead of foregoing forward in submenus. intended? (running windows 7 64 bits)

Nope, that's not intended behavior, thanks for reporting. I'll fix it when I get home tonight. There will likely be a variety of other bugs to discover, since a lot of this is fairly new code and I've been the only one tinkering around with it.

if you ever need a bug tester, just count me in. i know nothing of coding, so i'm the perfect tester! XD.
that said, the only options one can do are, right now, "generate world" and world atlas, right?
then in world atlas one can: look at nations&relations of nations
and go into beastiary, and one at the time look at the beasts (sorting doesn't work, it hanged the game)

Woah, awesome job! Most impressive world-gen i seen for a long time.

First bizarre creature:Colossal Centipedes ? Brr!
Other Notes:
- Does Holy <something> Empire civ name is very common or that's just my luck ?
- By region sorting seems to do nothing and not allows to go back.

EDIT: Also trying to show only aerial creatures results in :

How fast are creatures supposed to gen? Because world and names took literally moments.
