Oh, I believe him. I just seriously doubt that it is a good idea.
I remember his excitement over his revolutionary idea "you don't have any control over the dog in this one" - which was just worse in every way.
There is somewhat similar game, where you do not have direct control of your units at all. And it is RTS. It's name is Majesty. And especially the first game is absolutely fantastic!
I mean, there's also dwarf fortress with a little bit more scope and behavior complexity
To think about - nearly any city builder.
All I want him to do is figure out the rights issues and do re-releases of the Black and White games. Populus, Dungeon Keeper and Magic Carpet games. Remasters would be nice, but just get them working 16:9 on modern windows would do.
I'm still waiting for Godus to come out of early access with all the great features and promises kept!
Any day now.
I've seen this one
I met Peter at E3 one year before the release of Black and White two. He offered to give us (then two kids) a pre build copy of the game before it even came out. His secretary ripped it out of our hands on the way out the door and gave us some lame swag instead.
Guy has always had his head in the clouds. Love his games though.
Science-based dragon MMO
He has made great games, but as others have said he is a proffesional bullshitter.
