Okay, this is getting weird. Three completely unrelated forums I visit just posted this within a day of each other. And this video is from last year's E3 I think. Did this just get posted at some large news site or something?

As far as I know it, till now the video itself hasn't been released, so this is new I think.

On topic, I don't know what to design to be honest  :nervous:

This is probably the most revolutionary, amazing, and flat-out awesome to hit the gaming world ever.  To be honest, though, I really don't think I'd be able to play it.  I'm incredibly non-creative, and the thought of all of those options, all of the things you can do, that entire universe out there, scares me a little bit. :p  Still, that was amazingly cool, and I sincerely hope that it manages to see the light of day.

Yeah read about this a while ago.

Hope it lives up to its ambitious goals.

Would be cool to see what interesting designs one can come up with. :)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Hmmm. You could recreate all the various races of Trek and Wars and make them battle it out.

Zombies, that's what I'm gonna try to make, zombies. Or Reavers, Reavers would be awesome to, though we have little info about the ships in the Firefly universe, though as far as we saw in Serenity, it's a healthy amount.

Reaver ships are easy; Take any ship you like... no matter how knackered it is. Knacker it more, paint it red, rope the corpses of your victims/loved ones to the hull and stick guns on it - preferably with spikey attachments rather than any kind of energy weapon.

Bang. Instant Reaver ship.

Will Wright doesn't usually make games I want to play (at least that's been the trend with the Sims), but I am so getting this game. The sheer fun you can have, that's the promising part.

Indeed. You could just play the creature part and never upgrade the brain, and still have fun for hours!

From looking at it though, I'm finding the post-tribal era to be pointless.  There seems to be only cities at that point, and you use a UFO to go from one city to another.  I would much rather have tons of cities per planet than every very few planets have maybe 3 cities.  Even then, no space combat, no 4X, no unified system.  The game practically stops once it meets the city phase.  I hope to god that this is not the case in the final product.

The impression I got was that the UFO was the last thing you get, not something you get as soon as you reach the city phase.

Though I do agree it looks like the fun wouldn't last once you got the UFO.

And remember, that was a technical demo, not a finished product, it just gave examples of the game, not a definitive preview of gameplay.

i like how it figures out how the critters walk, it'll be interesting to get a bunch of vasudans in there, a race of headzhunters, perhaps  :p

Well, i suppose the fun will last at least until you get the interstellar drive, before then you only have a few planets to colinise.
