This game looks interesting!

Any comments?

Wow, sounds awesome.

Sir · 01-12-2013

I've thought of this numerous times!

Minecraft's bigger for now, but yeah, this sounds awesome!

Mofujohn · 01-12-2013

I've always thought about a game like this. This would be amazing!

The game itself looks amazing, but this looks like it would take up a LOOOOOOT of space.

I have some negative opinions of this. It looks like it would be far too time consuming and addicting. Rather than trying to simulate life, why not just live?

I admit that it looks kind of cool, but the idea itself seems silly to me.

Minecraft is pseudo-infinite, meaning the world just keeps generating the further you walk out. Only problem is the further you get from 0,0,0 some bugs start to appear. But we're talking an extremely large distance from 0,0,0. So far in fact that notch hasn't bothered to look into it yet as no large body of players has managed to reach this far yet.

On topic, This looks awesome. The "Ultimate sandbox". I'm pretty interested.

Because dying in real life is a little more serious than dying in a videogame.

Valid point, but the idea of doing "anything" doesn't only mean dangerous things. I'm talking about the everyday life aspects they are attempting to simulate.

I'm not trying to be too negative, but I am really skeptical of the legitimacy of this project. A quick look at their development blog and I'm already pretty disappointed. Check it out here: http://universeprojects.blogspot.ca/. They claim that they are starting the game in 2D, then transitioning to 3D. I don't even understand what that means or how that would be functional/productive. Check it out for yourselves under the "What will the game look like?" section on the website.

I could be over-thinking everything, but I can see this failing.

So you're saying they are starting the game in 2D and then transitioning to 3D, and you think it will fail? First of all you don't even know what it means, just like you said. What makes you think they will fail if you don't even understand what they mean by transitioning to 3D? Its cool to be the other person that negative of something that the majority likes, but your points are stupid

Just putting my two cents in, I'm not claiming to be right. I do understand what they are doing, that's not the part I was confused about. I just don't understand why they are doing that.

It just seems sloppy and doesn't look very promising. They are more than welcome to prove me wrong!

Possibly the project could be based off of another platform. Say, get Skyrims files and just mod the hell out of it? Wouldn't take nearly as much time.

All talk, no results. Non professional looking website, and concept art looks ugly. I don't see why anyone should get remotely excited about this until it is released.

A completely infinite virtual universe of possibilities might take a while to create.
