WANNA BE A GOD?

Your time is coming. Guide a fledgling civilization through the obstacles of life. From humble beginnings, watch as they evolve and advance throughout the ages under your wing. Influence their decisions and punish the unfaithful with a wide range of godly abilities. Interact with objects, create disasters, and launch clueless creatures into orbit. This is your world, and nothing can stop you from having fun.

Our goal is to bring back the features you know and love from classic god games and spice them up with fresh ideas, a modern physics engine, and stylized visuals developed by a few of our very own industry heroes.

NATURE AS YOU KNOW IT

In The Universim, nature is just as wonderful and unpredictable as ever. Every planet comes with a few surprises that are sure to challenge your civilization. From tornadoes that consume everything in their path, to thunderous earthquakes that threaten to split your civilization in two. If you treat nature poorly, it might just show you how brutal and unforgiving it can be. Each planet you encounter will have a unique underbelly. Some planets are tranquil and filled to the brim with resources, while others are barren and dangerous. Be careful out there!

Something as simple as the cycle between night and day can play an important role. Wild animal attacks are more common at night, as are frequent temperature drops. Daytime offers a little more safety from the harshness of the world. With the inclusion of a full, four-season cycle, a planet’s biomes can change drastically, making it extremely difficult for Nuggets to survive brutal winters without proper preparation ahead of time.

THE STORY OF A SPECIES

Meet the Nuggets, a fragile and whacky species that relies on your leadership to build, research, and advance. Help them, and they will soon begin writing their own history in the stars. Every Nugget is a unique individual with a distinct set of characteristics. Just like any other living creature, Nuggets must have access to a few vital resources in order to survive. This includes water to drink, food to eat, and recreational activities to increase their happiness and quality of life. Recreational activities may include blowing stuff up. You’ve been warned.

As you spend time with the Nuggets, You will see that they behave like natural, living beings. They have their own thoughts and needs - and they even have the ability to make their own decisions at times. We want to give you a feeling that you’re interacting with a living organism, almost like you’re messing around with a rather chaotic ant farm.

Discover Wild Life

Discover planets with Drones and Rovers, equip rockets with right technologies. Depends on the planet factors such as planet distance, temperature and etc you’ll need to equip your Discovery Machines with the right tools. Put more solar panels to keep your rover, that can take probs on the planets and give you idea of how much resources lays in ground of that planet, to charge it batteries faster during the day time. Equip your rockets with bigger gas tanks to make it travel longer and to give a chance for Astronauts Nuggets to come back home.

ORGANIC GAMEPLAY

Planets in The Universim aren’t just made up of a bunch of neatly-arranged objects; everything is linked together and plays a unique role in each planet’s ecosystem. Every tree your civilization cuts down, every resource they mine and every animal they hunt will affect the world they’re living in. A lack of trees and high levels of pollution will raise the global temperature over time, while reckless hunting or fishing might cause the extinction of some species. It’s your mission to manage how the Nuggets collect and utilize resources. What mark will you leave on the ecosystems that existed millions of years before your arrival? Will you use every available resource and expand at an unprecedented pace, or will you methodically create a more sustainable way of life for your civilization?

These are living, breathing worlds where everything is interconnected. We aim to provide you with an unique experience unlike any of the god games you have played before. Every decision you or your civilization makes will have consequences.

CHANGE IS INEVITABLE

Your journey begins with a blank slate. There will only be two Nuggets at first, Adahy and Elu. They are the first of their kind, a spark of life that will change the world forever. As Nuggets progress, their technology evolves alongside them. You will watch as crude stone huts transform into architectural wonders and the fires that once protected your civilization are replaced by the magic of electricity.

LEAVE YOUR MARK

What kind of god will you be? Will your civilization become heavily dependent on natural resources, consuming fluffy bunnies and nonrenewable resources in equal measure? Or will you guide them towards a more sustainable future that relies on agricultural proficiency, responsible hunting, and green energy? You have the tools to change everything, and your actions have far-reaching implications.

A UNIQUE JOURNEY EVERY TIME YOU PLAY

Our procedural world generation is built around the gameplay, and not the other way around. We make sure that fun is always the number one priority. While procedural generation guarantees a lot of replayability, it doesn’t automatically make the experience worthwhile. That’s why we’ve invested a lot of time into not only creating unique and beautiful planets, but also giving each one its own set of challenging characteristics. Every star in the sky points the way to a procedurally-generated planet just waiting to be colonized. With the right technology, any planet can be yours. You can terraform lifeless planets into stunning utopias or simply suck every last drop of natural resources from it before moving on. We want to make sure that you’ll have fun with each planet that you encounter.

Pitchfork Patch V0.0.36 Is Now Live

Phew, Creators!


It has been a while since we last spoke! Our team has been slaving away on some exciting stuff, and we hope you’re going to love it. Before we jump in, if you’ve been enjoying the game so far and would like to give us your thoughts, please hit us with a Steam review. It helps so much! If the overall score remains positive, we loosen the shackles on our developers a tiny bit to make it more comfortable. Spread the word!





There’s been a lot of progress behind-the-scenes, so it’s a great time to run through some snazzy changes heading your way soon. 


In preparation for the Space Era, we are completely reworking our planet generation algorithms (and boy, is it exciting!). We have cut loading times down by a whopping 90%, making transition times between planets take mere seconds. Performance has been bumped up, too, which allows us to make planets slightly bigger and have 2-3 times more objects on each planet. Some additions include a new mountain formation system, new object distribution logic, and more! Most importantly, we reworked Nugget pathfinding once again, which should (theoretically) eliminate any issues with Nuggets getting stuck and/or doing nothing. 



They will be smarter with how they plan their routes and find a path to their objectives. It’s still under R&D, but we may soon be able to have dynamically-created bridges over water sources and even tunnels through mountains. All of this has been in heavy development for quite some time, and we’re happy to say that we’re around the 90% mark. Expect to see a new planet soon! We don’t want to spoil too much with screenshots, but take a little peek:



We will talk more about alien planets in later updates. Be ready! Sign-up here if you don't want miss it!


Now, let’s discuss what’s new in this patch


Riots



Nuggets will no longer endure great hardships in silence, especially if it has something to do with your management skills. If global Happiness drops too low, you’ll certainly hear about it. If crime shoots up, you’d better be ready to see some riots. There may be fires and some damage to local businesses. Riots can be quelled by either allowing them to run their course (which can lead to a lot of damage), arresting rioters, or, quite literally, squashing the uprising with a few powers. Exile Orators can now rile up your citizens by dramatically decreasing their Happiness, making them a bigger threat. 



Stone Age Town Hall



We’ve heard you! You don’t always want to hold your Nuggets’ hands, even when they’re still young and dumb. Maybe you just want to sit back and watch the world evolve on its own. In this update, we have added the Stone Age Town Hall to allow Elders to fulfill the essential needs (food and water) of Nuggets. They will also handle auto-assignment of workers in buildings, giving you more time to perform your other godly duties.



Temple 2.0



Temples now work a bit differently, plus look a lot cooler. Every Temple (beginning in the Stone Age) comes equipped with an unsentimental grinder. Ever found yourself lacking sufficient Creator Points when a Tornado or Meteor Shower is hurtling towards your civilization? Eviscerate all of those worries, along with your least-favorite Nugget. It not only generates a chunk of Creator Points, it can also help feed your other citizens! The reviews have been excellent so far. Everyone who benefits from it has given it a 5-star rating, and there haven’t been any complaints from those who were sacrificed. 



However, if that sort of thing doesn’t tickle your fancy, you could always take the benevolent path. By creating a peaceful civilization and avoiding sacrifices, Temples will start passively generating increasingly higher amounts of Creators Points. Now you can choose to be good or evil, and your civilization will change to reflect your alignment. Being evil will make buildings look a lot creepier, and Nugget Happiness may be affected. You’ll get more believers, though, whether they like it or not. 



Advanced Air Defense System



Upgraded Defense Towers! This system is linked with a Satellite network to allow your civilization to monitor the local air space and defend it from extraterrestrial threats, be it meteors, debris, or uninvited guests. It also looks really, really cool. 







Twitch Integration


Many of you have been wanting new ways to share your awesome gameplay moments with others and engage with viewers. The Universim now has some awesome Twitch Integration features, allowing viewers to spawn their own Nuggets (avatars) in the world by typing #CreateNugget in the chat panel. 


Action Points

We have also introduced Nugget “Action Points”, which a chat member’s Nugget passively acquires over time. These points allow them to start a few different events in-game. Chat Nuggets will have special icons and the viewer’s name above their heads. Streamers can also configure the system to reward those who cheer with extra action points.


#CheckBalance

By typing #CheckBalance into the chat, you’ll be able to see how many Action Points your Avatar has. 


#Commands

Typing #Commands in the chat will show you all the active and available commands for viewers to use. There’s a cooldown between each use of a command. 


Certain actions were designed to challenge Streamers and some to help them. 


#StartFamily

Avatar Nuggets will be able to form their own families. Typing #StartFamily in the chat will instruct your Avatar Nugget to find a partner, form a family with them, and mate.


#StartFire

An Avatar Nugget will try to start a fire in the streamer’s city. Streamers can deal with these misbehaving Nuggets by sending police to arrest them (they can be released later). Alternatively, this could be the perfect opportunity for streamers to test those fancy new grinder systems on Temples.


#Suicide

If you no longer have the desire to be a part of the mess unfolding within the streamer’s city, you can quit the game peacefully.


#Steal

Your Nugget will try to steal from the streamer’s resource stockpile. Avatar Nuggets will receive additional Action Points after bold actions like this.


Public Events Voting



Instead of the system automatically deciding which disaster to unleash on an unsuspecting city, viewers will be able to vote. Periodically, a voting panel will appear that everyone in chat can participate in. This panel contains 3 random items, and the most-voted option will be activated. These can be useful for streamers (bonus Creator Points) or… unhelpful, like summoning an evil UFO. 


The Universim’s Twitch Integration system is highly configurable, and streamers can enable, disable, rename, and modify the Action Point cost of any command. The streamer can also control the items that appear in the voting panel, as well as how frequently the voting panel appears. 

This is the initial release of the system, so expect more awesome stuff to come (and maybe a few bugs). Help us spread the word! Contact your favorite streamers to test it out. Let them know they can reach out to us via Twitter (http://twitter.com/crytivo) if they would like to request a free review copy of The Universim. You can help us make this feature even better by reporting bugs or sharing your ideas with our dev team on our Official Discord channel here: https://discord.gg/eReCRFZ



If the system becomes popular enough, we’re planning to extend it, giving you the tools to track your Avatar’s actions. You’ll be able to form your own Exile Villages, with the option to declare war on or form a coalition with streamers. Avatars can also potentially participate in democratic societies formed by other Avatar Nuggets, choose leaders, and much more. We think it’s a great feature, but we’d like to hear your thoughts! Let us know in the comments!

For now, you can still construct this massive building to show off, but it won’t have any functionality. In time, it’ll reveal its secrets.
