Hi, do you still remember Heart of Africa (follow-up to Seven Cities of Gold)? I always thought it deserved a modern remake, but nobody developed one, so I decided to do that myself :). While keeping the stylized depiction of the original, I added a 3D view for settlements and did my best to implement Africa as it was in the 1890s accurately: real historic geography and elevation data, diverse wildlife interactions, regional and seasonal climate, authentic clothing, etc.
You can follow the project's progress here:

The current PoC is playable directly in modern browsers without downloading or installing anything at:

So far, it's still in an early stage of development, and there is no game loop implemented yet—it's basically an Africa simulator. I intend to make the communication with the natives much more elaborate than in the original, possibly somewhat like in Chants of Sennaar. Any kind of feedback is appreciated.
