This may not be a super exciting entry, as I will be carving up SagaSim into a bunch of pieces to determine what I need to tackle individually. This list will probably change over time, and once I settle on a good project management system, I’ll turn all of them into tasks/projects in it. Gotta have something to motivate and organize here. With my blather out of the way, on to the actual breakdown.

I envision SagaSim as being made up of multiple high-level modules, and then submodules. There are two overarching components to the entire project: the world generation, from the terrain all the way down to individual characters; and the simulation, which controls the interactions of everything that’s been generated.
