Anyone that declares that he himself is recklessly brave doing anything is a self-promoting ass.
You don’t understand this is No Man’s Sky meets Spore with a touch of Daikatana.

Games are very difficult software to create. The only reason publishers like EA or Ubisoft can get away with pumping theirs out at an rapid (and unhealthy) pace is because they have a massive team

You have to understand that telling other people how brave and cool you are makes them think you’re an idiot though, right?

Here's an idea: Just make Conway's Game of Life but with absurdly good graphics.

Oh, is the developer Peter Molyneux's protoge?

Hes not praising himself, I was recklessly brave going into the lions den, isnt prasiing yourself, its admonishing yourself, like you took on some insane challenge without thinking

I believe it's supposed to be more of a spiritual successor to The Sims.

I'd buy that.

Am I the only one that interpreted it as him calling himself foolish?

"Now, I understand why so few companies have attempted to develop a life simulation game. The challenge isn't just additive the more you try to build—it's exponential. At a certain point, finding bugs in this vast world we've created feels like playing tag with invisible ghosts."
He's not bragging; it's honesty. I'm thankful he is sharing the experience. I know totally what he's talking about. I remember trying to make a simulation of reality in the wc3 map editor in elementary school. Add the weather so the plants grow. Tie growth variables also in to deer eating them. wolves eat the deer. So everything needs hunger variables. But already we start having the 'exponential growth' he is talking about: because what about the Weather and the Deer? And the Weather and Wolves? Add aspect of the world for one type of object (weather for plants), and suddenly you have to figure out how or whether it relates to everything else you have (Deer and Wolves). Now let's say we add villagers and Structures. Every time we add something, we have more nodes to consider the interrelations of.
It's easy when there are few systems and few types of things (like a cardgame of creatures with atk and def), but it escalates quick and does exactly what he's saying the more systems you try to accurately include and farther toward 'full life sim'.
So im just a noob, but I see clearly this is what he is conveying to us. (probably cuz i tried a similar path in elementary school. if i remember correctly i ran in to this same issue, scale was too big too big project and i switched to something else. it exponentialed quick; just like he says)
edit: i bet he wasnt brave as much as did not forsee the exponentialness aspect and wanting to aim high caused him to fall in to it

Depending on the monetization scheme that might be a nice change of pace.
I wonder which game mechanics of the sims titles are patented as of today.

To be fair, at least No Man's Sky followed thru with all the updates down the line. Should've launched like that, but at least they added it all for free after the terrible launch

You have to have a certain amount of bravery and humility to program because failure is with you at every step of the way. I know. I do this shit as a hobby.

Seems more like Sims 3-style, but if you cranked up the graphics up to 11.
