Introduce
In SimEarth: The Living Planet, players take on the role of an all-powerful planet designer. You begin with a formless planet, possessing only basic elements such as rocks, water, and atmosphere. Your task is to control the planet's evolution, from the formation of oceans and continents to the emergence of simple and complex life.
Gameplay focuses on managing environmental factors such as temperature, atmospheric pressure, rainfall, and resources. You will need to balance these elements to create a suitable environment for life to thrive. Interference with the environment can lead to unforeseen consequences, from mass extinctions to the explosive growth of new species.
The game provides many options for interfering with the evolutionary process, including adjusting the climate, creating natural disasters (such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes), or even directly interfering with the evolution of species. You can monitor the planet's evolution through statistical indicators, graphics, and visual models. The ultimate goal is to create a sustainable planet with a diverse and complex ecosystem.
SimEarth is not just a simple simulation game, but also an educational experience, helping players better understand the natural processes on Earth and the importance of environmental protection. The complexity and non-linearity of the game provide high replay value; each playthrough can lead to different results, depending on the player's decisions.
