I love how Matt's let's play formula is basically "let me explain the game to you" xD

[@smilemore1997]

It works! I enjoy it haha

[@Magicalfarty]

And explain it how he would play it xdd the best way

[@justinthompson6364]

Better than not explaining enough and leaving half the audience wondering what's going on

@@christiaannel3781 it’s not really stale, it’s a thing all engineers do. It’s half joking but also has ties in a real distaste towards the disgusting things architects create. You’re clearly not interested in the field of engineering if you think it’s just a shtick for the sake of being a shtick. Cheers mate

Yeah, Frostpunk in space is pretty swell. This is another attempt to get Matt to play Frostpunk

[@MasterKoru]

Matt, if you haven't continued playing this game, you NEED to. It is a beautiful game, seems to have an amazing storyline and great art as well as being an interesting and challenging experience. I'd say it feels sort of like the movie Interstellar in terms of drama, and it pulls off the story it's trying to tell masterfully. A well-engineered story, and the gameplay doesn't suffer in the least because of it.

[@musizlover2008]

It's like this game was partially inspired by Startopia, with the whole circular map design.

[@ramziel]

One of the favorite games of my childhood.

[@FaNT1m]

Just came looking for the name. such a fun game

[@alexlochner4143]

Reminds me a lot of Frostpunk's UI, layout, and build patterns.

[@worldspam5682]

maybe because it is knockoff frostpunk? It's may be great game, but it still frostpunk in space.

[@mujtabaalam5907]

4:20 YOOOO THIS BROUGHT BACK SO MANY MEMORIES

[@WidowedPanda7]

Is this going to be a new let's play series or one that you'll stream cause I'm intrigued to see you play more of this.

[@Tax3vader]

Would be cool to see this as a series

[@matcha1692]

This game does look really cool. Loving the story so far

[@Stephhii7]

Oh you have to make this a series. It's such a cool looking game.

Was it a government project?

[@jacobhanson606]

All these apocalypse and civilization building games make me think it’s a kind of useful subconscious resource and labor management training.

[@afsarmstrongfiresafety7460]

This bears no similarity to Ender's Game, I'm not sure why you would even suggest that, move along, NOTHING TO SEE.

[@ghostlyenigma680]

@Real Civil Engineer Thought I would let you know that each jump does permanent damage to the ship and the damage over time also increases from them as well as you will want to make sure to have a lot of alloy factories in place. You can also enter a death spiral from overwork where accidents ramp up over all the main suggestion is to save before each jump just in case. At some point, I suggest you check out another game that was released yesterday on Steam Dwarf Fortress.

[@5head11]

I would love to see more of this, I wanna see what happens with the story. I'm extremely invested lol

[@nemo-x]

4:11 There is some food in that stockpile! There is coffee in that nebula!

[@DerekHartley]

Ooh, this is probably the most intriguing game I've seen in a while. The game cycle looks solid but it's also got a good story going with it. Would love to see more of this.

[@RichieHendrixx]

Would love to see a series in this, I love survival builders

[@Infernoblade1010]

Love city/colony builders! Right up my sci-fi alley!

[@shadowproductions969]

Loving this game. It's very inspired by Frostpunk (another great game you should play on the channel, especially as it has a sequel coming out) Assuming it follows the footsteps of Frostpunk, there may be laws that have to be put in place, sacrifices and it'll get harder as it goes.

[@Ogrecrusher]

I was thinking it looked like Frostpunk.

[@ReedWillNort]

Definitely need to see more of the engineers saving humanity, ep. 2 soon?

[@LemonJuice_]

i love games with storylines and pls matt continue with this this game. It truly shows matts rivalry architects

I feel like the architects built the giant wheel thingy to look cool and then got to space and were like, "oh, you need food? Uh.... Engineering?"

Earth, Moon and everything else : (is normal) Game : "just go to the moon with your ship" Player : (goes to the Moon ; arrives to it) Game : "Great... but now, the moon is exploded, the earth is a lifeless wasteland, and the ship that supplied you is a wreck"

[@noahl.3177]

I love this game but it's SO tough. after the first few hurdles it gets easier, but I really dont want to admit the amount of times I've reloaded a save because I: forgot food; forgot iron for hull repair; forgot water for the food; forgot to build new housing; forgot electricity; forgot to send out probes for the mines; forgot about the weather moving & all my ships died; forgot to watch out for overwork; forgot--... I'm going to stop. Good game though. Very enjoyable and not stressful at all

the big problem with people saying that the water levels will rise is that they forget just how much temperature and water it would take to increase the water high enough to be of any actual concern of course it would concern the high-rise buildings in coastal cities directly adjacent to the ocean, but i suspect it will rise no more than a few inches to a few feet, lest we have to adapt to temperatures so hot that they might boil current humans alive

how to tell if you're an architect or engineer: does appearance matter more to you? architect does function matter more to you? engineer does it actually WORK? engineer does it defy logic? inconclusive is it an eyesore? engineer (but DOES work, so suck it architects)

This video saved me money. Startopia is £5 on Steam. Set in a post-rapture universe, it features no architects at all.

[@segue2ant395]

Hey if you like the story in this, check out "Seveneves" by Neal Stephenson. Everything he writes is great - a lot of it is highly-original Star-Wars style space opera - but Seveneves is set on a near-decommission International Space Station during a mission to evacuate Earth after the moon explodes. It goes to some crazy places.

[@axtro5460]

Hey Matt! You should play Black Skylands! Its a steampunk skyship type of game and you upgrade it and do different quests. Its a great indie game that could def fit you. It's available on steam.
