Play a Living God in the HOUND Project
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to play God? To be able to observe as a higher being as the world below you struggles with or against each other? Well with the HOUND Project you can witness the process of what originally took 400 million years to begin, in only minutes. Creating a world unique only to you, indulge in a game where you are able to create your own living, eating and breathing things and watch as they take on humanities greatest challenge: struggling for survival in the name of natural selection.
In a minimalistic sandbox, HOUND projects’ “system” will provide players the ability to do the following:
Design organic like Creatures- anything from a bacteria to a chimp.
Manage evolutionary strategies- Imagine a hybrid of fungus and a ship! Anything is possible, just let your imagination roam free.
Manipulate artificial intelligence directly- It took millions of years for living things to evolve on Earth. With the help of AI, this can be reduced to just minutes.
You can be God, or someone above God. You can simply tell the AI what you want, push The Big Red Button and get an exceptional world full of living things. As you play, the AI will observe you and will become as good as you are, so the challenge of the game is completely natural, individual and is always there for you. Kind of like the matrix, it’s hard to explain, so it will be something to see for your own eyes.
The game is made by a solo developer and will become available in early September. The demo version of the systems’ environment is available right now on the projects’ official website. Staying indie, HOUND will launch a crowdfunding company on Indiegogo in mid May, so stay tuned!
