I'm trying to make a game like rimworld

[Ryuuzoku]

Hey guys, I am currently trying to make a game like RimWorld for my thesis. It might not be visually optimized or intriguing but I am trying to make a version of colony building games that are more micro centric. I have a survey that I would like anyone to fill, I would be very happy if there are anyone who are willing to help. Here is the link to the survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CKP5G5N

Cheers,
Ryuuzoku

I took the survey. Good luck with your game!

I think Rimworld is a good game to imitate/draw inspiration from for a student project. Not sure how far you've gone in conceptualizing your game, but I'm interested in hearing what makes it different from RW. Focusing on
a]having just a few characters and giving them more of a standard RPG progression system (like leveling up and getting perks)
or
b]the "tower defense" aspect.
could be good ways to make your game differ from RW. Maybe make it a "fantasy" setting with magic instead of guns. Have aliens instead of normal Earth animals. I forgot to mention in your survey, the main weakness of RW is that it lacks goals.
I have a lot of little ideas, but maybe you have it all planned out already. Can you give more details?

Took the survey, and I'll just say it again...

I'm awaiting a great insect colony builder this idea hasn't been made righteous since the days of SimAnt. (Empires of the Undergrowth is too dull and limited to ants) If it were in depth like Rim World as far as random events, psychological traits, physical traits, seed generated maps.etc
Just saying I would quite literally fall in love with this game..

I'm glad I'm not the only one who played SimAnt! That game was actually really fun despite my insect phobia.
