That sounds like the gamecube F-zero game, but even more 80s and made in the modern day.

I know right?  Most of those games are so lonely without multiplayer and so vulnerable to griefers/assholes with multiplayer.  Playing co-op Don't Starve with my siblings was so much more fun than playing it solo, and even the little companions they've added like Glommer and Chester made a huge tonal difference.

Someone should make a DF/Rimworld-like where you play in first or third person.  And you designate actions the way you would normally put down blocks in mindcraft (but at a range).  So instead of building things you build a theoretical building and then your minions perform the much longer task of actually making it.

There's Voxel Turf, which has been described as "Minecraft + GTA + Cities Skylines", where people can move into your houses and work at the industries you build, but that's not really "survival" unless you count the dog-eat-dog world of voxellated corporate takeovers.

Alternatively, Rise of Ages. I haven't seen how much the mooks actually do around town, but you can invite people to populate your tribe.

I think the millennaire minecraft mod tries to do that (on top of adding different varieties of villages via cultures) but of course it is minecraft. Also, it tends not to play well with other mods on account of most mods being built around the player doing everything.

Incidentally, it would be interesting to see a minecraft mod where all the tech progression is through villagers whose needs have to be satisfied. Like Anno on a reduced scale. Would need certain features to avoid problems that I can already foresee, though.

Care to elaborate on that last bit?

Nostalgia time. Forsaken's gated Minecraft server.

The world would "age up" when we as a community met certain criteria, unlocking a new tier of recipes. We started with a hunter-gatherer society and basically subsisted on raw nutmeg for a while. I think we had to gather x food or wood or something, whereupon we unlocked tool use. Once we built X houses and got farms going, we unlocked iron or something.

The problems I expect to see? Well, I expect such a mod to work like FactoryTech: the villagers are machines that, instead of operating on RF (and processing items), they operate with items. So a villager would need food, drink/hydration, shelter (bedding), maybe even clothing or tools. But FactoryTech was obnoxious because of the rate that components failed as well as supplying all the machines. To solve this, you could instead assign an area/storage where items are stored that will satisfy villager needs, and the villagers can be set to take from that area when they need to restock. That is, restock their 'need' items and not their processing items (which would be fed as "normal" to their processing stations). But then this means villagers don't perform their process 100% of the time, so now you need a system that villagers can clock in and out of their processing, and enough villagers to fill in those shifts.

Terraria has the various NPCs, but I'm guessing you want something more in-depth and/or randomized. That would be pretty cool.

hmm, there's fallout 4, still a goodie in this department.

but yeah, this is something i'd like to see too. i suppose if they improved thrall ai, conan exiles could fit here too.

[TiredOlGoat]

Tonally, I do like the idea of a first/third person game where you are just one player, building and creating things, and NPCs move in and help/have their own agendas, all taking place over a period of time. Something like Unreal World, but where your actions effect the greater world; people use your roads, look into your land if you offer to sell it/make it communal/abandon it, etc...

But mostly, and this is a bit silly...

Graphically/atmospherically, I miss pastel colours and weird garish 80's fantasy. Where in Heroes of Might and Magic I/II, or Realmz/Spiderweb Software's earlier work, you felt like you could just randomly stumble across most anything. Crystals growing out of purple forests, vampires that made stupid 'bluh' noises, public-domain-y sound effects...

I feel like most fantasy tries to draw from the same popular-ish roots. World of Blizzardcrafthammer. And that's just fine, if those are things you like! But I have no interest in medieval power armour and ridiculous fantasy swords; I'd like to explore abandoned forts growing out of red-and-orange trees, look up at the alien sky, and feel a sense of peace. Perhaps it was because the market was oversaturated with 'weird' fantasy in the early 90s, in large part due to a lot of shareware. But I miss the environment, terribly.

An in-depth life sim would be cool.

Well, there's Outside, which was recently updated to the newest version...

Yeah well unfortunately the character creation doesn't allow for a whole lot of player choice.
