Farm Sim
Farm life sims are a subgenre of life simulation games which fuse social simulation, dating sim and farm simulation elements. The games generally feature a protagonist going out to a rural setting and taking upon a farm, oftentimes because of an inheritance from a deceased relative, or because of urban boredom. The player-character grows crops and raises livestock to make money, and can interact with a wide cast of characters who are inhabitants of the town, and work toward the main plot's objective, if one exists. The game plots often featured dying ghost towns that must be revitalized by the player's actions. The genre origins were in the original ''Story of Seasons'' series (previously called Harvest Moon in English) which was almost the sole series in its genre up until ''Stardew Valley'', a successful indie game inspired by it, popularized farm life sims as a distinct genre.Nintendo LifeHow Stardew Valley Grew The Farm Sim While Harvest Moon Went To Seed , Nintendo Life acc ...

Life Simulation Game
Life simulation games form a subgenre of simulation video games in which the player lives or controls one or more virtual characters (human or otherwise). Such a game can revolve around "individuals and relationships, or it could be a simulation of an ecosystem". Other terms include artificial life game and simulated life game (SLG). Definition Life simulation games are about "maintaining and growing a virtual life", where players are given the power to control the lives of autonomous people or creatures. Artificial life games are related to computer science research in artificial life. But "because they're intended for entertainment rather than research, commercial A-life games implement only a subset of what A-life research investigates." This broad genre includes god games which focus on managing tribal worshipers, as well as digital pet, artificial pets that focus on one or several animals. It also includes genetic artificial life games, where players manage populations of c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
