The Universim - city/planet/universe building sim

[Decius 360]

Hey everyone,

I have been looking for new Indie games a lot lately. Allas my search was usually ended with disappointment..
untill I came across this one: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/crytivogames/the-universim I feel it looks promising!

It comes down to a Sim Universe, kind of like Spore but totally different. You start on a planet, grow a civilization, use resources, develop technologies, space exploration and space expansion if your civilization. From the looks of their promotion I think the community might like it, just take a look at the kick-starter. I've been trying to get this to the news-feed as the kick-starter is only 8 days left as of this post and still needs a lot of funding.

What do you guys think of this project?

That game looks amazing, not the simulation game I would normally play, but it looks fun, and challenging enough to destroy many afternoons.

I think the features on the planet, such as the trees and buildings are a bit big in comparison to the size of the planet. I think that the smallest habitable planet should hold at least 16 distinct cities that don't immediately border each-other. This looks as if a typical region in SimCity would be an ecumenopolis in UniverseSim. I don't mind being able to see the curvature of the planet from the view of a city but I do mind being able to have a small neighborhood take up a hemisphere or even a continent.

Universim is what Spore (third to fifth stages) should have been.

 

It is very ambitious, but I wish best of luck, as they need much help.
