Antimatter - Presentation of the game
Geoffroypi:
As mentionned on the previous topic here is a presentation of the project in a forum format.
This is the original post I made on Bay12 forum so it is quite messy (I have added up manything on top so it doesn't feel organised or documented and it feels really outadated when i mention the scope of the game. But I will polish this page from time to time.
For more informations I recommend you to read my last kickstarter page and all the updates I made or the bay12 topic
Bay12 topic : http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=176315.0
Former kickstarter : https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/geopi/war-industry-a-sandbox-city-builder-with-physics/description
This game has some « Worms » features as the whole environment is destructible and there is ballistic. It is also familiar with « forts » , « factorio » (on economy) and « Kerbal Space Program » (rocket design and physics), Noita (Liquid system has some similarities but I included a pressure system allowing for more behaviours )
The game is a slow paced city builder where you build your colony on a distant planet, extract natural ressources and manufacture ressources. Physics is simulated and you can also send rockets to asteroides (and planets) to colonise them, and you will be able to build space stations.
There are many native civilisations to interact with, there is a diplomacy system and a dialogue/quest system allowing complexe interaction and specific story arcs.
The only active opponent is an adversary faction that has made a colony as well and will pursue the same goal as you.
The game is focused on mass destruction weapons so I took most of my insipiration with earth situation during the cold war.
Don't hesitate to ask anything about the project and give me your feedback, I silently read this forum since its creation, must be my third account I create since I always forget my login hehe, I think this project might interest some of you.
Picture is worth a thousand words so here some screens :
An undergroung area of the world
An asteroid
A colonised asteroid
A native city
These idiots worship the "last root of a dying tree" making sacrifice to feed the tree. They are not aware it is this worm that ate the roots of the tree (killing it in the process)
Some diplomacy
Giant worms come from the desert
A native hive
Another Hive
A volcano during an eruption, my liquid simulator simulate every pixels, with pressure, a temperature (with radiation and conduction effect given the environmen), viscosity. Avery pixel reacts to its neigbhor. Lava put grass and wood in flame, turn water into mist, losing heat in the process. Once the lava is cold enough, it ll turn into stone.
Diplomacy with the natives and the adversary
Ressources list
Rocket Design
A rocket
Modular construction of space station
Game Technology tree
Politics is much easier when you ar a dictator
An underground temple with a stargate leading to another planet
Player city evolution
Also I just uploaded a video :
Warer:
You absolute madlad, things like this give me hope.
idefelipe:
Honestly, it looks amazing and funny. Now I need to read ALL the thread you posted to be updated with this game.
I would, definitively, support it.
I have not still read anything, but it is supposed to find other civilizations (in the space or in your planet) and this kind of things, am I right? And, after seen the video, it shows that the "screen" can move laterally.. is there any limit? (maybe the perimeter of the planet or something?)
Thanks for sharing and developing.
Kaiser:
Gorgeous graphics there, It remembers me Worms Armageddon which I played for over 15yrs.
Hope the substance will be equally good with diplomacy, tech and so on.
Wish you the best with your project.

And thank you for your kind words.
Yes there is a limit but worlds can be quite large, it is optimised to support extremely large worlds. The largest is a handdrawn world of 15 000 X 1500 tiles. And you can naviguate seamlessly in any direction and zoom. I don't think I will make an infinite world due to a specific gamedesign decision and how it ll affect the rest of the gameplay but I seriously consider making an infinite underground.
Also your question give me precious hint on how to better present my game. Civilisations are spreaded among the planets in the galaxy, and you can visit them. It ll be possible to interact with them. Cities are generated with specific parameters like wealth, size, tech level culture, sub culture etc...

Thank you Kaiser, my game started as a wormlike actually ^^ and the folder of my developement project in my hard drive is still called "Wormlike game" hahaha
Yes, the goal is to go as deep into the simulation, while allowing very permissive modding.
