# Egregoria
Egregoria is an indie city builder, mostly inspired by Cities:Skylines.
Each individual has its own thought model, meaning every action has its importance and influences the environment.
Egregoria is focused on the socio-economical aspect of a city, with a logistics element.
The game is still in early development, but you can already play it and give some feedback through
[issues](https://github.com/Uriopass/Egregoria/issues) or on [discord](https://discord.gg/CAaZhUJ).
By being open source, the hope is to get more people involved in the development of the game.
Mod support is wanted but the design has not been found yet.
## How to play
A small tutorial is available on the [github wiki]((https://github.com/Uriopass/Egregoria/wiki/Introduction-Guide)) to get you started.
## Devblog
I keep a blog about Egregoria's development [here](http://douady.paris/blog/index.html).
## Building the project
### Git LFS
This project uses Git LFS to track assets, therefore if you want to build your own copy you will need to install [Git LFS](https://git-lfs.github.com/).
Once installed, you should be able to clone the repo and fetch the assets:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Uriopass/Egregoria
cd Egregoria
git lfs pull
```
### Windows/Mac
I personally use Windows 10 and Mac OS 10.11, and it compiles fine once the [rust toolchain is installed](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install).
```bash
cargo run --release
```
Don't forget to add the `--release` flag, otherwise the game will be very slow.
Don't forget to pull the lfs files, otherwise the game will crash with a file not found error.
### Ubuntu/Debian on x11
There are a few libraries to install that some of my dependencies need:
```
sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev libudev-dev pkg-config libx11-dev
cargo run --release
```
Don't forget to add the `--release` flag, otherwise the game will be very slow.
Don't forget to pull the lfs files, otherwise the game will crash with a file not found error.
A GitHub Action tests the builds on Ubuntu.
## Why Egregoria ?
An Egregor is an autonomous psychic entity made up of, and influencing, the thoughts of a group of people.
It represents emergence at its purest form, where individuals come together to become a collective force.
