# VOID::NAV
|
|
|
|
**A single-player narrative-driven space exploration experience** where you author your own mini-series. Inspired by Windward's open-world freedom, Stellaris's strategic depth, and AI-generated storytelling in the style of The Templin Institute. Every campaign generates a unique tale of exploration, commerce, diplomacy, and conquest.
|
|
|
|
You are a young captain with an entire galaxy to explore—and a story to write. Every campaign features a unique, procedurally generated galaxy. Trade between stations, broker alliances between factions, wage war or maintain peace, and watch as the **AI Story Director** weaves your choices into an evolving narrative. Prefer a quieter life? Simply sail the stars and let your story unfold.
|
|
|
|
Conflict occurs through **FTL-style tactical resource management**—not dogfighting. When combat happens, it's a dramatic beat in your story. Click a hostile, your ship auto-engages, and you manage reactor power between Weapons / Shields / Engines / Auxiliary. The skill is in *what* you power and *when*, not how fast you click. But combat is a feature, not the focus.

|
|
|
VOID::NAV is a pnpm workspace monorepo for the game website, living design docs, and game client. V1 focuses on single-player emergent storytelling with local persistence and AI-driven narrative generation.

## Core Pillars
|
|
|
|
| Pillar | Description |
|
|
|--------|-------------|
|
|
| **AI Story Director** | Emergent narrative generation tracks your choices, alliances, conflicts, and discoveries. The AI weaves your actions into an ongoing saga. V1: real-time emergent storytelling. Future: episodic mini-series generation. |
|
|
| **Exploration & Discovery** | Procedurally generated galaxy with fog of war. Discover anomalies, derelicts, new factions. Every discovery becomes part of your story. |
|
|
| **Trade & Diplomacy** | Stellaris-inspired economic and political systems. Supply factions, broker alliances, negotiate borders. Commerce and conversation are equally viable paths. |
|
|
| **Ship Customization** | Your ship is your narrative vessel. Customize for trade, exploration, or conflict. Multiple classes from nimble scouts to powerful cruisers. |
|
|
| **Dynamic Galaxy** | Your actions shape both the world AND the story. Faction relations, territory control, and world events evolve through your choices. |
|
|
| **Solo Adventure** | A personal galaxy to explore at your own pace. Your story, your pace. The architecture supports optional co-op servers later. |
|
|

|
pnpm dev # Docs + site servers
|
|
pnpm dev:docs # Docs only (port 5173)
|
|
pnpm dev:site # Site only (port 5174)
|
|
cd apps/game && cargo run # Game client
|
|
```
|

## Builds
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pnpm build # Build all apps
|
|
pnpm check # Typecheck all packages
