A place in the wilderness.
A life at the edge of an empire.

01 / The intended world
The forest is
the starting point.
The Urseetal, around 150 A.D. A Germanic community making a life in the wilderness as the Roman frontier draws closer.
Black Forest: Agri Decumates is our historical survival/RPG in development. The intended experience follows the relationship between people, landscape and the everyday work of survival during the Roman Iron Age.
We're building its world with an interest in historical and ecological detail. The current images show early environment work; they do not demonstrate a completed survival or role-playing experience.
02 / A world taking shape
From the environment workbench.
Existing development captures.
Terrain, vegetation and lighting remain unfinished.

Closer to the forest floor.

These studies explore how tree cover, shoreline and ground detail fit together. They use unfinished terrain and some stand-in vegetation; future playtests will provide more representative images.
03 / In development
An early chapter.
A long view.
The project is currently developing its landscape and visual atmosphere in Unreal Engine 5.8. The broader survival/RPG systems are the design direction, rather than a finished feature set.
The setting connects woodland, water and the lives of a Germanic community near the Roman frontier. Everyday survival and the relationship to that landscape guide the design.
