Greetings! ^^

Greetings!

My name is Enrique Lescure, and I am involved in The Earth Organisation for Sustainability (EOS). I do also take a keen interest in Game Design. A few years ago, I tested Spore together with my then girlfriend. I found it thoroughly disappointing, since it only followed several levels, and the species were generated not by the environment, but customised by the player.

I would like to experience something similar to the Old SimEarth, but with a realistic 3D landscape, which can be earth-like or alien, tectonic plates, gradual evolution due to population isolation, and a real-time time clock allowing the player both to direct climactic conditions or to go down on individual level and cause mutations.

I hope to be able to contribute intellectually.

With kind regards

Welcome, Lux!

I was also dreaming of a realistic spore ever since I played it for the first time. Dont get me wrong, it was a fun game, but a bad simulator (if you can even call it that). SimEarth was awesome, if only they ever released a newer version...

Also, intellectual contributions are very useful and welcome.

Thank you for your welcome ^^

Have any of you by any chance had a chance to encounter any Paradox games? Paradox truly revolutionised RTS gaming, and I am sure some of their concepts can help with the construction of such a game that simulates evolution.

Europa Universalis, HoI, CK, Victoria, all masterpieces.

If you are a strategy fan, I suggest that you check out the current concept for the society/industrial stage and the tech editor, since we are currently discussing that (the tech editor).

Can you link me the topic please? ^^
