Black and White was such a fun game.
If any game needed to be revived that's one of them.
It's weird that this and populous just died out. IMHO they could have just kept going like so many other sims did.
An ACTUAL use for an ai model, too, imo.
Not to make the game but for the creature. Maybe the villagers behaviour too. You could have the villagers talk to each other so they seem real, and have the creature learn as you interact with it.
The best part is that since there are ZERO stakes here it doesn't matter if the thing hallucinates and starts doing insane shit, in fact, it could be preferable this way.
All the artists and designers and coders would still have jobs building the game, it would just be built around the absolute fucking abomination most people would end up nurturing.
huh that looks like a fun game
