"We're creating a video game, similar to an RPG, that is capable of supporting millions of players, in the same game world, at the same time. The very first players who enter the game will notice the planet they appear on is completely devoid of human infrastructure; they appear on a planet that has developed only plant-life and animals. Now, the perspective of the game will be 1st/3rd person in that the player will control a single character in the game and will control only their character's actions in the world. There will be no NPCs in the world, every character is a real player.
The game will simulate human needs in that player's characters will need to eat and drink. Characters will need to find shelter and need to avoid being too cold or too hot. Characters will need to defend themselves and their belongings from animals and other players. Characters will be able to invent their own tools, skills, buildings, and even weapons, to assist them in meeting their needs."
What do you think of this? Will it actually work? I mean it seems quite hard to sustain such a massive server. Wouldn't it also get too buggy if you try combining so many gameplay elements? It almost seems fake to me, but I hope its real. The idea of a "humanity simulation" sounds amazing and I'd totally play it for ages (especially with friends!)
