Development journal / Year 4 · The city sandbox
Why Nexus City comes first
One compact world lets the team connect a city, countryside and daily systems before the world expands.
Progress story · Current status and direction
RamQuest currently centers on Nexus City: one futuristic city with a countryside around it. The compact sandbox keeps home, work, commerce, civic spaces and resource gathering close enough for one choice to affect another.
Nexus City already provides the foundation for alpha scenarios through its Civic Quarter, cafe, bank, Career Center and Market District. The Grove and Sky Nexus remain planned locations rather than places players can visit today.
The long-term goal is a much larger map with more than twelve cities across distinct zones. Proving the right combination of systems in RamQuest comes first, before that broader beta-scale expansion.
