The catalogue is organised by the terrain a player needs to understand. Open a chapter, then keep the neighbouring landscape in view: grass recovery leads to movement, movement leads to shelter, and shelter leads to agreements about sharing land. These connections explain why the projects belong beside one another, while their distinct rhythms explain why they remain separate concepts.
Rain-fed slopes
Rainward begins with a herd and a choice about where to graze next. The intended loop combines observing a pasture, planning a manageable route, guiding the animals through a crossing and reviewing their condition at camp. A patch of fresh grass is only useful if the herd can reach it without spending more energy than the move is worth. The project studies that relationship through a small seasonal landscape.
Its visual direction emphasises distance: foreground grass gives a local sense of condition, streams reveal routes through the middle ground, and rain clouds suggest opportunities beyond the current camp. The player should be able to read those layers without relying entirely on a map overlay. Detailed rules remain open to prototype work, especially how much information to reveal before a move.
Sheltered winter ground
Winter Commons asks who can use a valuable valley, when they can arrive and what responsibilities come with access. Negotiation is tied to specific pasture, water and shelter rather than abstract approval points. Agreements need to be clear enough to plan around and flexible enough to respond to changed conditions. The concept is about maintaining a workable arrangement, not simply winning a conversation.
This chapter brings the camera closer to camp, with route sketches, shared landmarks and the view from a sheltered doorway. That scale supports decisions about boundaries and commitments. It also gives the land a social dimension without claiming to represent a particular real community or historical tradition.
Read a question before a promise
Both concepts have separate detail pages and related design notes. There are no announced release dates, platform commitments or store pages. The useful next step is a focused prototype that can make each project’s central choice understandable in play.
