Even if you don’t support Liverpool football club, if you’ve ever heard the fans sing ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’, all 50,000 of them in a chorus, you’ll have to believe me that it can pull on your insides in an emotional way. And of course, on the pitch are 24 players all hearing them. Well, on Avesta the Seedlings play together – and their Cultivators in turn are playing together!
We believe at Klang that’s how Play is best experience. Together.
Players have been craving community and cooperation in the life-sim genre. It’s no easy feat – have we mentioned we’ve been working on this, in one way or another, for almost a decade! Once you develop a feature - add in persistence [LINK to BLOG on Persistence] – you then need to scale it so it works for other players. Complexity grows exponentially - and we love it!
True emergence, the endless storylines and crazy projects, is only possibly when thousands of players get together and form a society. Scale gives us trade, friendships, alliances and social eco-systems. SEED is a social experiment! Don’t forget it. The tools have been giving to the players, the results are unknowable until they’re collaborated into life. It’s kind of like: you know the difference between say, Paris and London? Not the obvious cliches, but like, the vibe. This is emergence, it takes time + population + experience = culture.
As Monkey_Elite, one of our long term player advocates put it recently in an interview: ‘I’ve played a lot of simulation games before, like RimWorld and Dwarf Fortress, and I always ended up looking for ways to make them more social. Those games are fun alone, but they become much more meaningful when you can share the experience with others. SEED takes that idea and builds the entire game around it.’
‘You’re no longer just playing by yourself; every time you log in, other people are there, reacting to your contributions while you help shape theirs. It gives you a sense of connection, even with people you don’t really know. You’re progressing together, solving problems together, and that feels important in a game complex enough that going completely solo will eventually make you hit a wall.’
And what is found, ultimately, is a sense of belonging. Knowing the lyrics of the song, singing your team along to victory in unison, is the most beautiful thing that can happen in a virtual world such as SEED.
