Zomia is a roguelike loosely based on the ancient history of the Zomia region, centered on Yunnan, in what is now far southwest China. The area borders Tibet, northeast India, Burma, Laos, and Vietnam and is a naturally spectacular setting. This is the author's first roguelike.
Because the current goal is to release something for 2016 ARRP and time is short, the decision has been made to simply focus on dungeon mechanics and ignore the town and wilderness, despite those both being quite well started. Therefore the 2016 ARRP version will be more of a playable dungeon with critters in more of the standard fantasy genre than later game versions, which should be more historically accurate with much more backstory/town mechanics/above-ground exploration.
A development log is available.
