- Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed
This total transformation mod (not following Fallout lore) aims to bring to life anarchist utopias after Global meltdown. It takes place in eastern part of former Canada and United-States. The game is a bilingual (french & english) single player non-linear RPG. It can be called a radical camping simulator or a positive post-apocalyptic game. The world has been challenged by the Sum of all heavily anticipated catastrophies. Humans survived and organised themselves according to a mix of anarchistic, aboriginal, technological and nomadic ways of living, mostly driven by anarchist ideas (anti-domination, direct democracy, freedom and autonomy). In-game, "Sum" refers to the sum of all catastrophies, a cult, a currency and mispellings of words "son" and "sun". The Sum (french version : Nous Aurons) is an art project created by the french-canadian artist Hugo Nadeau (www.hugonadeau.com).

Hi everyone. It's me, Tim (I mean, Hugo of course). And today I want to talk about : The BÊTA! Things are progressing immensely. I am not especially confident it will be out for Christmas ; crunch is good, but rushing things is not. Regardless, we are getting closer each minute! Basically a two persons' job at the moment (Benjamin J. Allard and me), I'm programming the quests as he is getting the voices ready to be integrated. I calculated that close to half of all the unique characters have a voice, and more will follow after the bêta. I chose to follow a systematic approach, so hard to tell exactly how many quests are done at this point, but all the dialogues are added already as well as the unique characters, in place with names and portraits. After that comes scripting and testing. I might call a few of you to test along with me, stay tuned!

Bonjour à tous. C'est moi, Tim (je veux dire Hugo bien sûr). Aujourd'hui, je veux vous parler de : La version BÊTA! Les choses progressent! Je ne suis pas très confiant quant à sa sortie pour Noël ; être empressé, c'est super, mais se garocher, ça non. Quoi qu'il en soit, nous nous rapprochons à chaque minute! C'est essentiellement un travail à deux pour le moment (Benjamin J. Allard et moi), je programme les quêtes pendant qu'il prépare les voix à être intégrées. J'ai calculé que près de la moitié des personnages uniques ont une voix, et d'autres suivront après la bêta. J'ai choisi de suivre une approche systématique, donc difficile de dire exactement combien de quêtes sont faites à ce stade, mais tous les dialogues sont déjà ajoutés ainsi que les personnages uniques, en place avec les noms et les portraits. Après cela, il y a les scripts et le testage. Il se peut que j'appelle quelques-uns d'entre vous à tester avec moi, restez à l'écoute!
Here proudly comes the new version of The Sum, 1.7.1a!
This will be the final preparation update before the BETA, which will include at last most if not all game's quests.
This new version fixes many bugs, more notoriously related to fleeing villagers and item's passive bonuses. It adds random encounter traders, a series of new options in "config.lua" (like no-tutorial mode, starting items, hunger mechanics) and many more things!
★★★★★★★★★★★
Arrive fièrement la nouvelle version de Nous Aurons, 1.7.1a!
Il s'agit de la dernière mise à jour de préparation avant le BETA, qui inclura enfin la plupart, sinon la totalité, des quêtes du jeu!
Cette nouvelle version corrige de nombreux bugs, notamment ceux liés à la fuite des habitant.e.s et aux bonus passifs des items. Elle ajoute des marchands dans des rencontres aléatoires, une série de nouvelles options dans "config.lua" (comme le mode sans tutoriel, des items de départ, les ajustements à la mécanique de faim) et bien d'autres choses encore!
All the characters speak French and the weapon ammos seem mixed up is this where the game is so far?
Hi Zipper3!
In fact, a third of the game's characters speak french, a third english and a third both. You must have been simply in french speaking communities at this point, but beleive me, there are many english speakers to find out there. The weapon ammos are not mixed up, they are just simplified (2mm, 5mm, 9mm, etc.). There might be some errors in bullet assignation here and there though, I could use a hand in finding those errors if you encounter them! Don't hesitate to report bugs in the link in the page's pinned article. This is as far as the game is yet yes, currently I am working on the beta release that will include the quests and all final locations.
Nice, how complete is the mod by now?
I look forward to future releases!
Hi!
The game is in Alpha and on its way to be released in its beta state, with all its much needed quests! All have been written and translated, but not yet scripted. Some key locations of the game are also missing (Lead & Golden arches), but I plan on creating them in the next week. I will after that jump on quest scripting to officially complete the first beta verson :D
Hello hello!
A quick update about the coming version. My work on it is reaching its end. Yesterday, I completed the addition of two forms of random maps traders: independent sellers and also Capital's franchise stores called "All Caps". You can review their locations here: En.wikipedia2197.org. This will be useful to get ammunitions or some food on the road without being absolutely obliged to hunt or fish. And also to remove junk items from the game as these trader's inventories will respawn at each visit.
I am now taking care of implementing new triggers to make villagers flee when having been killed several times, without completely stopping to attack and becoming friendly again. And this will be mostly it for the new 1.7.1a version. Thank you, once again, for your patience and interest in the project!

Bonjour bonjour!
Une petite mise à jour concernant la prochaine version. Mon travail sur elle touche à sa fin. Hier, j'ai terminé l'ajout de deux formes de vendeurs dans les cartes aléatoires : les vendeurs indépendants et aussi le magasin franchisé de Capital appelé "All Caps". Vous pouvez consulter leurs emplacements ici : Fr.wikipedia2197.org. Ce sera utile pour obtenir de la nourriture et des munitions sur la route sans être absolument obligé.e de chasser ou de pêcher. Et aussi pour éliminer les objets inutiles du jeu, comme les inventaires de ces vendeurs se remettent à zéro à chaque visite.
Je m'occupe maintenant d'implémenter de nouveaux
triggers pour faire fuir les villageois qui ont été tués
plusieurs fois, sans les faire complètement arrêter d'attaquer et redevenir amicaux. Et ce sera tout pour la nouvelle version 1.7.1a. Merci, encore une fois, pour votre patience et votre intérêt pour le projet!

the sum keeps saying 'cannot open file: improver_data\improver.cfg" any idea on how to fix it
Did you put the game into c:/TheSum? Did you launch the file ft improver.exe or one of the two shortcuts?
