Oh, the thing I just boosted doesn't really say what it is outside of a content warning.

It's a short thread introducing a few -- specifically, that simulate elements of systems, with focus weighted toward /#ClimatePolicy. I've played a couple of them; they seem reasonably interesting. N.B.: the list doesn't include simulators.

It was linked to from this more recent toot, which mentions another such game: mastodon.gamedev.place/@Yakkaf

As someone who loves playing both Dwarf Fortress and RimWorld , it's been an awesome week. :hype: They finally launched the graphical version of Dwarf Fortress, so it'll get a broader audience. :love:

This video is a great description of the difference between the two.

I'm always happy when things I enjoy are made more accessible. Now more people get to love the games!

If you haven't played these, check them out!

I've been thinking for a while about how to make a transport game less overwhelming in a real-sized world. Now I'm thinking it might make sense to only manage the actions of a single vehicle in such a large world (pilot/trucker etc)?

Rimworld is a lot of fun as a game, but it starts to feel a bit constrainted and same-y from a simulation/story generation point of view after a while. (To be fair though, I haven’t explored much in the way of mods, and I’ve heard they bring a lot of variety to the game.)

The Steam version of Dwarf Fortress looks really good! Neat little icons, the UI looks a lot more discoverable, but the charm of the simple top-down view is still there too.
