Gameplay is not engaging, but I think you have a winning idea here, there's not enough Sim Earth games out there.So keep working for a postcompo build with better gameplay. You must think about action and feedback, you press a button, something happens SNAP, out loud. Maybe you can use the idea of build monoliths or other divine items like UFOs, arks, that influence the population. Population should grow automatically, so technology and pollution, but with those items the scientist would influence the destiny of earth indirectly."},{"author_name":"omaha","author_uid":"5229","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 8:31pm","epoch":1387311960,"text":"I like the concept, but it's not really fun or interesting enough to keep you in there - maybe either make the multipliers bigger (so game progresses faster) or have a bit more that you can put input into?"},{"author_name":"Pixelulsar","author_uid":"10737","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 8:45pm","epoch":1387312800,"text":"It looks nice, I liked the effects for zooming in and out on the earth.
