About the Project

State Rise: From Ashes is a strategic project dedicated to simulating the formation of statehood, the development of infrastructure, the shaping of society, and the management of complex interrelated systems. The game presents the process of state development not as a set of isolated actions, but as a unified dynamic where every decision affects the future.

Project Goal

The main goal is to create a strategy in which the player feels responsible for the decisions made and sees their consequences at all levels: from the economy and logistics to social institutions and geopolitics. The project is aimed at those who value systemic thinking and deep strategic dynamics.

Development Philosophy

• Realism
  Mechanics are based on the logic of real processes: the economy requires resources and logistics, society requires services and stability, and the state requires a balance between internal and external interests.
• Interconnectedness
  Systems do not exist in isolation — changes in one area affect others (for example, a fuel shortage reduces transport efficiency and impacts production and budget).
• Accessibility and Depth
  The game should be easy to understand at its core, yet deep in mastery. Special attention is given to optimization and transparency of mechanics.

Development Approach

All elements of the project are created manually and undergo a cycle: implementation → testing → optimization → revision → reimplementation. This approach increases stability, reduces the number of errors, and ensures a cohesive gaming experience.

Structure and Development Stages

Development progresses in stages. The current patch roadmap is structured as follows:

1. Internal systems and economy
2. Transport and infrastructure
3. Military campaigns
4. Urban planning
5. State behavior
6. Technologies and tech tree
7. Ideology and extended politics
8. Geopolitics (module in development)

Long-Term Vision

State Rise: From Ashes is designed as a long-term project: after release, active support is planned — patches, improvements, content updates, and expansions. The project evolves together with the community and is intended for gradual scaling without losing its original concept.

Documentation and Transparency

Each stage is accompanied by Devlog entries available on the official website and social media, allowing the community to follow the progress and participate in the project’s development through feedback and promotion.
