 It's already been generations since everything changed. It was the warming, now comes the real part. The [[Meric]] is a web that has no center, no fixed shape, and in its blood flows the freedom to find oneself.

-=== But ===

-Le ''but'' du jeu est triple:
+The "goal" of the game is threefold:
-* En priorité, '''choisir un endroit où vivre''' (déjà habité ou non), quitte à s'installer seul.e au milieu d’un territoire dévasté par le réchauffement climatique et la faillite des États.
+* In priority, '''find a place to call home''' (already inhabited or not), even if it means settling alone in the middle of a territory devastated by global warming and the bankruptcy of the States.
-* De manière ''secondaire'', '''conquérir son autonomie''' par l'apprentissage (obtention de [[Niveaux d'autonomie|niveaux d'autonomie]]) pour agir pleinement dans dans le monde.
+* In a ''secondary'' way, '''conquering one's autonomy''' through learning (obtaining [[Levels of autonomy|levels of autonomy]]) to act fully in the world.

+* ''[[The Sum:About/2#Survival|Survive]]'', if only long enough to accomplish the first goal.
-=== Fin du jeu ===
+=== End of game ===
-Le jeu peut potentiellement se terminer à tout moment et en tout lieu. Il dépend donc de la volonté et de la capacité du [[Personnage joueur|personnage joueur]] à terminer la partie. Lorsque le joueur a choisi un lieu pour y habiter de manière permanente, la partie valide un certain nombre de conditions pour que la partie se termine. Certaines condition cachées peuvent faire en sorte qu'une [[Fausses fins|fausse fin]] soit déclenchée, c'est-à-dire une fin de jeu qui conduit à la mort (donc à l'échec de la partie) ou à une impasse (une poursuite de la partie dans des conditions aggravées). Lors d'une fin ''réussie'', un texte circonstanciel décrivant le futur immédiat du personnage principal est alors présenté et un certain nombre de [[Certificats (fin de jeu)|certificats]] de fin de partie sont remis à titre de récompenses.
+The game can potentially end at any time and any place. It therefore depends on the willingness and ability of the [[Player character|player character]] to end the game. Once the player has chosen a place to live permanently, the game validates a number of conditions for the game to end. Some hidden conditions may cause a "[[False endings|false endings]]" to be triggered, i.e., an ending that leads to death (i.e., a game failure) or to a stalemate (i.e., a continuation of the game under worsened conditions). In the case of a ''successful'' ending, a circumstantial text describing the immediate future of the main character is presented and a number of ''[[Certificates (end game)|end game certificates]]'' are given as rewards.
-* Lieu inhabité
+==== End of game conditions ====
-*# L'endroit n'est pas considéré mortel (irradié ou trop toxique).
+* Inhabited location
-*# Le [[Personnage joueur|personnage joueur]] dispose d'un équipement de survie de base : de bons vêtements, un lit, un couteau et de quoi faire un feu (des matières combustibles, un briquet ou suffisamment de connaissances en [[Survie]] pour partir un feu sans briquet)
+*# Those who are already here have given their permission.
-*# Le [[Personnage joueur|personnage joueur]] a suffisamment de connaissances en [[Survie]].
+*# There are no hostile individuals or groups in the area.
-=== Contenus généraux ===
+* Ghost town
-On trouve dans le jeu une collection de quelque [[Nous Aurons:Contenus#Communautés|25 villes]] idéales (de la sincérité à la satire) inspirées de l'[[Wikipédia:fr:Anarchisme|anarchisme]], toutes colorées et quelque peu dépaysantes. Elles sont redevables et parfois attribuables à la société d’Annares (lune anarchiste) de l’œuvre d’Ursula K. Le Guin: « [[Wikipédia:fr:Les Dépossédés (roman, 1974)|Les Dépossédés]] ».
+*# The place is not considered deadly (irradiated or too toxic).
-=== Interprétation ===
+=== General content ===
-En tant qu'œuvre de fiction, [[Nous Aurons:À propos|Nous Aurons]] chercher à offrir une narration différente d'autres œuvres connues, comme [[Wikipédia:fr:Les Dépossédés (roman, 1974)|Les Dépossédés]], [[Wikipédia:Le Dernier Homme (roman)|Le Dernier Homme]] ou [[Wikipédia:fr:1984 (roman)|1984]]. Il cherche principalement à dresser le portrait d'une ''décentralisation globale'', [[Wikipédia:fr:Antiautoritarisme|antiautoritaire]], voire [[Wikipédia:fr:Biocentrisme|biocentriste]]. Il se place donc en contre-exemple à l'[[Wikipédia:fr:Anthropocentrisme|Anthropocentrisme]].
+The game features a collection of some ideal [[The Sum:Contents#Communities|25 cities]] inspired by [[Wikipedia:Anarchism|anarchism]], all colorful and somewhat exotic. They are indebted to, and sometimes attributable to, the Annares society (anarchist moon) of Ursula K. Le Guin's [[Wikipedia:The Dispossessed|The Dispossessed]].
-=== Financement ===
+=== Interpretation ===
-La production du jeu ''Nous Aurons'', sa version anglaise ''The Sum'', mais également certaines présentations publiques (performances en ligne) du projet portant le titre ''Nous campions loin des endroits où la mort nous attendait'' ont été réalisés grâce au soutien du [https://www.calq.gouv.qc.ca/ Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec] ainsi que du [https://conseildesarts.ca/ Conseil des arts du Canada].
+As a work of fiction, [[The Sum:About|The Sum]] seeks to offer a different narrative from other well-known fiction works, such as [[Wikipedia:The Dispossessed|The Dispossessed]], [[Wikipedia:Oryx and Crake|Oryx and Crake]] or [[Wikipedia:Nineteen Eighty-Four|Nineteen Eighty-Four]]. it mainly seeks to portray a ''global decentralization'', [[Wikipedia:en:Anti-authoritarianism|anti-authoritarianism]], or [[Wikipedia:en:Biocentrism (ethics)|biocentrism]]. It is therefore a counterexample to [[Wikipedia:Anthropocentrism|Anthropocentrism]].
