Concept

Earthsim content aims to highlight the connections across disciplines and demonstrate a unified holistic systems view of the universe.

Game Content

• Prebuilt game levels you progress through.
• Build your own levels and share them with others.
• Game Versions:
  • The Green Machine (Aquarium worlds)
    • Simulate the world as a tile of landscape in an aquarium.
    • The world is a single piece of bedrock
  • Islands (floating islands in the sky that can interact to form puzzles)
    • Build multiple floating islands that share a greater aquarium atmosphere
    • Islands are created by erupting a volcano that releases lava that cools to form the bedrock that a game level progresses on
    • Water, earth and lava can fall from one island to another carrying heat with it.
  • Planet Crafter (Planetoid worlds)
    • Simulate the world as a ball in space.
    • Planets are small.. Small enough to simulate everything on them for game.
  • Multi player: Team up with others to manage larger levels and shared planet management.

Learning Content

The Original Earthsim featured three types of in house generated content:

• Encyclopedia Interactive: entries on on plants, animals and geological formations throughout the known universe,
• News: short pieces on discoveries that guide the viewer to and through those discoveries
• Documentaries: Longer pieces that tie smaller elements together into a bigger user driven hierarchical path through the experience, a guided learning game experience.

As the new game develops we will look into adding learning content back and creating a new updated free version of Earthsim.
