I think Tynan should make a city builder sim next!

[eugeneb]

So many city builders out there with new ones coming out every now and then but all are the same thing: mine/plant resource A + build houses; nap while money comes in; convert resource A into B, build more houses, basic school, basic hospital; nap again; repeat this pattern. It's tempting to just skip naps, enter some cheat code for infinite money and just play with laying out your perfect city.

I've always been dreaming about a city builder built around Rimworld formula. You know, the one with challenges and an actual game underneath it all, rather than repeating the "build houses and farms" grind. Where you are forced to adapt to your environment, where game is throwing challenges at you and you have to learn from mistakes to overcome these challenges. E.g. one such challenge could be a simulated economy and simulated other cities that are going for the same sources of income you would want to go. Perhaps changing or degrading environment. Or something else. Something you can play with and feel good about figuring it out and beating it the same way you feel good about beating cold snap followed by bug infestation followed by psychic ship and then toxic fallout. Just on the larger, city level, rather than personal level like in Rimworld.

Yes I Agree On Having A New Warcrime Simulator

Hey we still don't know what Tynan is up to in his drawing board (or notebook...) if he's planning to make a game like a city builder or a war simulator... He didn't even post em' about it so don't get hyped yet...

Though i still hope it still takes place in rimworld's universe... Like in urbworlds or in medieval worlds...

Wait I thought Rimworld already is war crime simulator? 
One of my earliest Rimworkd memories is how shockingly easy and logical war crimes are. That was back when I was young and innocent of course. Like even if you are trying to role play a regular normal person, you probably won't be patching up and releasing pirates that came to kill you. Anyway you probably know how this story goes: how one thing leads to another and you need money for glitterworkd med or bionic eye and your prisoners volunteer to become organ donors while their remains get recycled as husky food.

Nah. Tynan is now making a completely violence free stardew-valley like game where you play a 5 year old girl who is a veterinarian, taking care of little bunnies. No silver or raiders, just little hearts that you get from saving the little bunnies, because all you really need in life is love. <3

Edit: And rock paper shitmagazine would still make an article about the lack of transgendered bunnies in the fucking thing.

I hope she is at least a vatgrown veterinarian then. Aside from that, I am also interested to know more about the "little hearts you get from saving little bunnies" part...

(Yes I played Rimworld way beyond healthy levels)

@ReZpawner

Kinda boring concept...

Sarcasm aside... I think the game won't do very well... Especially when it's going to be compared to Stardew Valley or My Time at Portia...

There is something, about surviving by thriving in cannibalism or making human leather chairs or getting a prisoner to harvest his lungs to fix up your favorite colonist's lung from asthma or giving him a new heart from a raider that you just organ murdered, in Rimworld and it's the only game that tells you these stuff...

At least we got to see a Centipede not trying to kill you in that game if Tynan somehow makes that come into reality...
