I have done many colonies and also played a multiple of builder/simulator games. My psychopath playthrough so far has been quite fun and also stays fresh longer with the jounal I have been writing for it. Anybody else ever do that?
If you are a roleplay style person like myself, I recommend giving it a try. For mine I am keeping it to the perspective of one person unless he dies but it really has been fun so far. I would love to read if other people do a 'let's play' journal. Is the fun of a lets play, but more from a character's perspective and personality instead of just being removed from the play.
I was thinking about doing that with a clone of a Hero that one of my colony's had.
Im currently working on a collection of short stories that I write whenever a colonist dies.
So far I have completed 2 and working on a 3rd.
I basically write a short story based on either their life, or their last moments. The first one I did set the scene for a few other colonists and the second was a more Journal entry style.
That sounds quite interesting. I was sort of thinking that as well originally, writing the story as the game progresses, but went with the journal version so people can read bits at a time ^.^ Might need to google doc a short story though. Keep a tab for every colonist, and when something happens, just write in it!
I did one here: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=18413.msg201807#msg201807
I'm working on another now.
