Startopia

Simulation

Developer My Little Planet Ltd, Mucky Foot Productions Ltd

Startopia is a video game by Mucky Foot Productions (formed by ex-Bullfrog employees) and published by Eidos in June 2001, in which the player administers various space stations with the task of developing them into popular hubs. The game has a comical overtone, with lighthearted humour and cartoonish aliens. The game was re-released on GOG.com in September 2012 and was added to the Steam catalogue in October 2013.… From Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0)

    We are fifteen hours in, and I’m having a lovely time playing Startopia while I wait for the UK to wake up. We’ve got a good little group in, but would love some more company! 💖 Twitch.tv/iamhuld And don’t forget to tell your friends and family to donate! gofund.me/fbdcf4f8

    Fixed-rate logic, and store velocities (or similar) so the graphics can interpolate to whatever display rate it wants. The extreme of this was StarTopia that ran the game at 12Hz, but rendered at whatever - you really couldn't tell. Every time I've worked with delta time in gameplay - TROUBLE!

    Playing a game called Galacticare, which is kind of Two Point Hospital and a game I played obsessively many years ago called Startopia. Really liking it.

    In the game "StarTopia" there was a species of alien you could eventually attract to your starbase that just liked pleasure and would poop money. Anyway this is how I often envision the United States, and oddly enough I say that positively. I DON'T want us to be Kasvagorians. Only Gem Slugs.

    Startopia is an old-ass (and very British, ymmv if that affects things) starbase building game which has influences from a wide variety of real-time sim games, including juggling different alien species under one roof. I don't think its quite as in-depth as Tropico's factions, but IS 0 away team bs

    I'm thinking more God Game like Theme Hospital or Startopia.

    I still enjoy playing StarTopia 25 years later. Of course, if you don't like the game, you can always torture it... www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfRt...

    Startopia was my favorite game for years! Just ahead of Theme Hospital. I should check that out.

    Startopia is a space base building game. Kind of like Galacticare but less medical. Colonization is a Civ game about colonizing America

    It can be a brutal game when things start to go wrong, but I've also played it through a few times. Wish we could get a more light hearted version, to satisfy the Startopia itch 😁

    46. Startopia - The unluckier half of British dev Bullfrog, Mucky Foot wanged out this excellent Space Station management simulator as their second game. Smart interconnected systems with lots of fun little bits, economy, construction, security, biosphere. Dungeon Keeper 3.

    I worked with a lot of the crew on that game. It has a long lineage back through StarTopia and Theme Park :-)

    Startopia - this game is a hoot and it can currently be bought for $6.99 on steam. Can’t think of a better use of 7 bucks

    It's not the best or deepest management game but Startopia is one of the most charming of them. Running a space station full a bunch of cartoony aliens all with specific wants and needs. This is one those games that will suck me in for 6 or 7 hours at a time, even now.

    oh yeah i was going to follow this up with evidence also in case you don't know the game. Startopia by mucky foot, which was a company formed out of ex-bullfrog staff sans The Great Molyneux, and it is 10000% a bullfrog game

    Look it's tempting to say "Dungeon Keeper" or "Evil Genius" or "Startopia" or "Freelancer" but I know all of those are nostalgia baited poisoned chalices. But I know what game needs a second shot and given enough money would do gangbusters Republic: The Revolution. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republi...

    I did per-object impostors on a game called StarTopia back in 2001 and it worked really well even on those crappy old cards. But it was a bunch of work, and I'm not sure how well it would work with modern PBR rendering pipelines. Maybe one day I'll try it again.

    Bullfrog games are the absolute best balance of fun and experimentation. I still have my boxed copies of Dungeon Keeper 1 and 2, absolutely lost my shit when Dad agreed to let me get DK2. I highly recommend Mucky Foot’s 2001 game Startopia as well. That’s an all timer for me.

    I worked with some of those folks at Muckyfoot many years ago, on a game called StarTopia, which we called "Theme Hospital In Space". It's great to see they carried on making the same game over and over and over. Because it's awesome!

    A #WIP of the #Startopia Siren V2 that may become final I wanted to do something like this because in the #game Staropia, sex is a laser. This is a VERY obscure reference, and I am sure I will get confused looks, but I think it looks artistic. Sex is a laser, Karen, just go with it lol

    I'm guardedly optimistic about the thought of someone making a new #Startopia next year. I've been playing the original version recently thanks to #GOG and it still holds up. We'll see what they do with it. https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2019/08/19/starbase-startopia-announced/
