I chose the City Sample Demo because it already looks amazing, and since the class lessons were in using the Take Recorder instead of environment building, this seemed like a win for my time spent and potentially having something cool for my portfolio.

As we’ve covered, the ability of a game to simulate the actual world is extremely limited and, thus, misleading. Labyrinth shows a clear example of an alternative – simulating the pressures, the desires, and the fears of historical actors, which can be much more illuminating. Why make that game at all?

Although in most games, at least usually one or two systems are kind of fully-cooked; in this one… probably the most polished and complete thing about the game is one of the minigames (the business simulator was pretty impressive).

The truth is that games like Crusader Kings and Europa Universalis are really more like simulations than they are like games, and one important fact about 4X games is that they are g-a-m-e-s games.
