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.
- The Green Machine (Aquarium worlds)
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.
