I would also even suggest a sort of compromise on the events. The first time you see an event, you have no idea what the result of each option would do. As you encounter an event subsequent times, the choices you have made before are able to show you what they resulted in. That way it's sort of like you're learning as you go through different iterations of building out your city.

[@veevoir]

To be honest - that is what I expected after first run in the game, when in the screens at the end of the run all those choices were shown. Assumed that means they are "unlocked", that now AI knows the potential outcome for those choices. Maybe it is not implemented yet, one can hope.

[@baronjutter]

I hope the devs listen to your feedback. There's a good game in here, but they really need to take your extremely correct QoL and gameplay suggestions on board.

[@DaaClaptain]

You think raptor would make the greatest game ever by now with what a expert he is. To scared to actually put his theories to the test i guess.

[@adrianke77]

@@DaaClaptain right, because commenting is the same as creating. It's weird how you're not an incredibly successful youtuber with all your accurate comments. Too scared I guess.

[@Muenni]

@@adrianke77 This would only make sense if you actually considered their comment to be accurate AND they were at least trying to become a successful youtuber.

Thats because they are. They are basically board games minus the other players... Its funny how the indie developers were supposed to save gaming. But they went even lazier then the big developers.

My own Rapture... yeah that would be so awesome. Im still mad survive the abyss was more or less cancelled. This game looks cool though, definately putting it on the list

[@myleswillis]

Looks cool, Day/night cycle and some weather would look good.

[@ianmoone3021]

I dont remember subbing to you, but i dont regret it

[@Cuthawolf]

I bounced off this one pretty hard, but seeing Splatty explain it makes it seem a little better. Might give it a second chance.

[@lordnelson7524]

Some thing about not knowing outcomes: If I understand the story right, you are not playing as an all-knowing AI - yet. You are an AI running simulations to trial and error itself into becoming all-knowing.

[@l0rf]

Good catch... but it would still be very useful to know what outcomes are predicted to occur. Could be a difficulty setting. Easiest is the precise effect on the numbers hardest is no info, with some uncertainty in between for medium.

[@veevoir]

It would make sense though that you should be shown potential outcome of event choice that you did in previous runs. Exactly because AI is learning.

[@littlekong7685]

@@veevoir Yes, having a better than chance idea of an outcome you have already experienced would be thematic and helpful.

[@sirstroam]

At 18:56 you see there are some numbers that float on by but it was so easy to miss I had to skip back multiple times. Something that might solve that and be thematically good is a log in the style of a stock market report. I also agree that like AI does IRL, the choice should have a predictions of the outcomes paired with a confidence interval.

[@Wolfineer_]

Game intented to be played in quick runs of a few minutes, splatty: "I want to slowly and methodically min-max play" XD I do agree on a few points, especially that event choices should be revealed if previously chosen as the simulation would already know the predicted outcome.

[@Mtaalas]

That style's from Metropolis... 100% sure about that. If you haven't seen the original movie from 1927, go watch it and then you can also see the reimagining by Osamu Tezuka :)

[@johnmiller8975]

Yes Art Deco to the max BTW they have found all the lost footage from metropolis the last piece was in Brazil i think, so make sure you get the latest cut

[@Alexandragon1]

This game looks promising! Thx for the video!

[@SergMuller]

I'am semi-addicted to a barebones game stemming from the same idea, it's called Tile Cities. A side project from Ostriv developer, probably a visualization for one of his future Ostriv game mechanics. There's not much going on, but the tension is real!

[@madking1485]

You sold me on bioshock and art deco!

[@timflanagan1919]

This feels like it should be a board game instead

[@VIP-ry6vv]

Interesting that this game and iron hive are both next fest. Very similar concept but different enough for both to be interesting

[@ExtraTrstl]

Thanks, Splatt.

[@olegoleg258]

Note that you haven't actively pursued the tech upgrades, nor have you tried to talk to people, instead going in the opposite direction. You've vasically engaged with only half of the game rather than doing any of the quest lines more or less

[@dirtywhitellama]

Looks like it could turn out pretty neat if they get the polish and content in there. Definitely not there yet. Good luck finishing up the move, hope that all wraps up well for you!

[@Kevbo2040]

Wait a minute, Splat changed the name of this video? Because when he first uploaded it, he definitely called it the "Rapture-Utopia builder" in the title. 🤔

[@libiroli]

From this month YT allows multiple titles for each video. So creators can do A-B testing

[@andrewbarnard3229]

This one scratched an itch for me. Looking forward to updates.

[@cd2028]

I don't like the idea of card game video games but I have played some and they where fun. Just have to actually get into them. I'm just put off because card games in real life are great. Just seems like digital version are just missing something

[@Jak00Z]

thanks

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

Looks like another fun game for me to lose at over and over, but then that describes most games for me. :D

[@igorthelight]

Watch tutorials on games you like. Looks like you just have fun without diving deep into how games work and just see "things play out". Nothing bad in that but that way it's hard to get better at games ;-)

[@razorka1293]

cool

[@SkylerLinux]

This game much like Reins learned, is that numbers in games like this aren't good. I as the player really want all my numbers to be going up, and I always want to play the most optimal play possible. It's worse having some because I want to make super optimal moves that I shouldn't know. So it really needs to keep them hidden, so that I'm not trying to play the Optimal play but what feels good and fun. Because I should be kept from the boring optimal moves, but encouraged to play fun and interesting. Also yes if this is sort of a Deck Builder, then I'd like more deck building options

[@Kazek152]

Hey Spaltter Can You play Seablip?

[@ericblood7215]

Tomahawk

[@UmaROMC]

The result of putting up street lights is that they ALL got broken, SOMEHOW? My brother, we make those lamps STRONG. Unless they were literally shooting them out, no way, and if crime was SO DAMNED BAD that people are at the point of shooting out streetllights, that is NOT COVERED BY "the crime reports are not good". I swear to god, some of these devs need a kick in the shins

Normally I enjoy your commentary Splat but in this case with a game that should be played quicker v.s. commented on let's pick up the pace please.

[@boogieboo5085]

Thumbs up for the content and video, but card deck-based games aren't my thing. I dislike them almost as much as anything with zombies in it.

[@marks7502]

the events seem to be booby traps. it sounds good but it ends up being bad. why bother choosing

[@ImperialEarthEmpire]

oh man, a card game? i dont mind card game becoz i love the genre too but cant they just make a normal city building game?

[@irkanorphyn]

Cards... the only card game I like is Yohane Numazuma Mirage

[@pencilpauli9442]

Can you ignore factions? I'd prefer to not have elites.

[@buddhabound_]

Thanks for not using AI on your video thumbnails. A lot of content makers are doing this now, and it really ruins the ability to get a sense of the game's theme or style when the first thing you see is AI generated bullshit that has nothing to do with the game. I appreciate you not using that garbage on your videos, and so I thought I should let you know so you have feedback from people who actually watch your videos and whether we like what you're doing or not.

[@everybot-it]

Did they copy Iron Hive or was this one first??

[@Nivek0]

Looks like a very basic shallow game unfortunately.

Card game city builders might be one of the worst genre combinations.

Only we can place buildings in cardinal direction. I love how you speak, u use "fancy" words that you don't understand and make absolutely no sense in this context. Keep it simple kid.

If you're going to criticize peoples' use of language, you had best make sure yours is correct. And the other commenter is correct, cardinal directions makes perfect sense in this context.
