The discussion revolves around the challenges and considerations of colonizing an Earth-like planet with a population of 2 million people. Participants explore the logistics of what tools, factories, and industries would be necessary to establish a new civilization, particularly in the context of a game design scenario. The conversation touches on theoretical and speculative aspects of engineering, technology, and societal structures in a colonization effort.
Participants express a mix of skepticism and optimism regarding the feasibility of colonization, with some asserting that current technology is insufficient while others believe advancements could make it possible in the near future. The discussion remains unresolved with multiple competing views on the topic.
Participants note the limitations of current technology and the speculative nature of the discussion, particularly regarding the production capabilities and societal structures that would be necessary for successful colonization.
Honestly if you do this, this year there are like nine 4x games coming out with a sci fi theme. So if you want to stick out with a low budget, you really got to come up with something fresh that works. Same old thing is not going to cut it. Paradoxically that means having a team :) which is expensive. I am afraid by the time I could possibly finish something like this, the space theme is completely worn out. With like 20 types of different 4x games.
