I do believe if you play these games or even just a few that might be corollaries or even complete contrasts to Kerbal, that you will actually have a greater appreciation for Kerbal and the gaming space it occupies esp. relative to defining titles as listed by OP very much so by the space they take up which allows Kerbal to live in its beautiful niche.
I think I have weird taste. KSP, Banished, Prison Architect, Dawn of Man to name a few I've enjoyed in recent times. Stranded Deep was really interesting but I bought early access, expecting more of a survival simulator with a hint of being Tom Hanks in Castaway and Les Stroud in Survivor Man, but it turned into some weird thing with giant bosses to battle and a gyrocopter that didn't make sense. NHL Hockey if I'm playing multiplayer. Been playing that one since the 90's, also played hockey in life. Nowadays online we can play one position on the ice alongside other human players and work together just as you would in real life, and that was a childhood dream of mine to be able to do that. I'd really like to try the new Flight Simulator. And when it comes to the virtual reality experience, I'd go with simulator style car racing. You can buy a car seat with the wheel, shifter, pedals all mounted on a moving apparatus that allows you feel g-forces, bumps, slides, impacts. Things like that.
So I get you your a Simcity (sim) gamer from what I can garner and if you're into Flight simulator it has one of the deepest communities and I would suggest you google "excel flight simulator" and prepare to have your mind blown... then also realize crypto can do that even more better ;).
Hey man, there's only so much room on my list. I considered listing like 100 games in honorable mentions.
That said, I honestly haven't played Kerbal, despite hearing tons of great things about it. (On the to do list it goes :D)
It's not an easy game. Failing is part of the fun. The community jokes about spending an hour playing, only to realize you forgot to put solar panels on the craft and your mission is doomed.
I checked it out on YouTube, I saw vehicles, experiments, stations, etc. It looked both simple and complex at the same time, lol.
KSP community would benefit tremendously if they came to Hive. I mean, there's even a loophole that allows people to monetize game mods they create, simply by monetizing the blog posts and updates, while asking consumers willing to support these projects to stake tokens and upvote rather than donating. Then if that mod developer vanishes, oh well, those supporting it still have their money and can support something else. Oops. There I go again pulling multi million dollar business ideas out of my butt and just leaving them on the ground.
Well said. I imagine many indie games could benefit well by coming to Hive. Monetizing game mods/game posts is a totally reasonable biz model for 'em. As is consumers staking/upvoting. :)
I value ideas highly, this one included. It's interesting though, how many billion-dollar ideas often remain sitting in someone's head, (or a random comment thread,) for years, until someone decides to bring it to life. :)
