Glad it has released. Gave it a shot and realized why I put it down in the first place. It's a slog to play. 90% of the time I am just waiting around for research to complete.

Research? I guess I don't know what a god game is. I was picturing Black & White and I don't remember research being a component.

Yeah your "nuggets" do research which is how you progress basically. Research though is just straight up time gated with no way to increase the rate. Most research items take 5-13 minutes. At most you can cut that down by half by increasing game speed by 2x. I have played the whole game up until this point on this speed and it still feels like I need a 3x or even a 4x.

Time gated? That sounds fucking awful. Who puts time gated mechanics in a game outside of mobile garbage?

[-] AverageGoob@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I mean I get it - research takes time, but at least dress up a little with like "science points" or something rather than just a straight up time limit.

This is like Black and White mixed with Civilization.

[-] graymess@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Oh no. That sounds like my ideal game.

It can sometimes be a slow play ๐Ÿ˜Ž

The Sapling is a good alternative, if you want to watch your creations evolve.

[-] dracs@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Nice. Going to check it out :)

Great video, your voice is soothing :) subbed

Me too. There's little challenge or risk. Progression is really slow and can't really be sped up. Borderline an interactive screensaver.
