Hello, my name is 阅尘Atlas. Thank you for playing or looking at my game, "Travelers".
The story of this game began in 2014. As a student major in game development, I played Lucas Pope's "Paper, Please" which is the Grand Prize of IGF 2014. Solo-development, unordinary topic, inspiration from LudumDare, mechanism-driven, 20+ year industry experience, this game and its developer bring so many labels that inspire me. I felt that I could answer a question that I’ve been asked countless times since I was a child but I had never been able
to answer seriously, "Who is your idol?"
In May 2019, I created a Unity project called "travellers". Since then, I used my free time to start building and exploring a simulation game about travel using "set collection" as its core mechanic. Time flies. In 2021, "travellers" became "旅者Travelers". It is no longer what I imagined in 2019, but it has become its own complete form as a game. It is time to let it meet more players...
"旅者Travelers" is the beginning of my journey, not the end. —— 阅尘Atlas in 2021
