I've been thinking about a simlation game for gemini for a while, but haven't really started programming it until now. There's a ton of stuff to think about, but my general ideas are that it'll be a text-based colony-management simulation game in a multiplayer/online world.
I got most of the inspiration for it from Fondation, RimWorld, and Frostpunk (1 & 2). The biggest change that I have planned, however, is to have this in an online/multiplayer context, which is something I personally don't see a lot of in colony-management simulation games like this.
Anyways, I've begun work on it, so I'm excited to progress to a state where it's playable.

Thats sounds so nice!
Reading that I remember Ogame and I start thinking in a game like that in gemini sounds dope

@Nexy Haven't heard of Ogame, but just looked it up, and it's probably the closest to what I have planned for my game! Mine just doesn't take place in space and is more inspired by RimWorld and the like, so has more survival elements to it.
I just played a little bit of Ogame. It's pretty cool. I've also played other online games in a similar vein a long time ago, but a lot of them were mostly like fictional hacking and stuff like that.
Another game that would be really cool to make a gemini text-based version of is Endless Space 2, especially since it is turn-based.
Originally, this game I had planned was going to be more of a openworld sandbox where each player contributes to the society they are in, and there might be an assigned (or voted-in) leader, but it was a lot to conceptualize for gemini, so I decided to go more like the Ogame route. But I still would like to make this original idea at some point in the future.
I wan't so see your idea also working, sounds really fun! Do what ever is fun to you!
I also love endless space 2, sounds very hard to do something like that
well thinking again an endless space like where every day is a turn can be a good concept

@Nexy I was thinking a very similar thing. It would be cool to turn Endless Space 2 into a multiplayer world where every day is a turn that everybody goes through. Turns end at like midnight UTC, and if you don't select any actions to do for that turn, then you just automatically do nothing.
