Primitive Society Simulator is a historical society-building game that lets players guide a prehistoric tribe from a simple communal existence to a stratified civilization. It begins in an egalitarian “primitive communist” stage, where resources, labor, and tools are shared, and there is little distinction between individuals. As the tribe develops agriculture, metalworking, and trade, it begins to produce surpluses, allowing some members to specialize as craftsmen, warriors, or leaders.

This specialization gradually introduces inequality: leaders accumulate authority, private property appears, and social ranks emerge. The game models this shift through systems like organization hierarchies, diplomacy, and class-based housing. Over time, patriarchal families, inheritance, and noble titles develop, solidifying class divisions. In this way, Primitive Society Simulator portrays the long historical transformation from communal, cooperative tribes into societies defined by hierarchy, property, and power.

>The recent update completely transformed the game's atmosphere—from a charming, cozy adventure into a dark, intense war management experience
Can confirm this. Especially with introduction of slavery and execution to keep them from rebelling. Warfare is much better than the original. But its still a work in progress. Just got a major update of nobles, different soldier classes, new household items, new storage system and house designations. Now villagers can own the house they sleep in and this is reserved for males only apparently.
>Is the game well optimized?
My 16-years-old PC could run it with no problems so probably yours too. Just replaced my processor and the villagers move hyper fast now. Check system requirements.

DOES THIS GAME HAVE DYNAMIC PRICES

>>45512
No. Goods are owned communally. Between tribes they barter or trade with seashells.

>>45529
i am dissapointed. makes sense though

>>44815
that's actually really interesting anon, thanks for sharing. I've always been interested in "historical materialist" type games.



 

I asked Chatgpt to help me with with modernising the concept art of the characters from Resident Evil Dead Aim.
Se we got Bruce McGivern, Fongling and Morpheus D. Duvall.

>Metroid Prime 4 is open world with a motorcycle
Literally everything is open world slop now. Even a series that named the genre where you explore intricate interconnected levels.

There is a lot of bandwagoning happening. It’s really not the that bad. Mckenzie is about as annoying as Otacon from MGS to me. The desert portion feels tacked on a bit because it’s basically used to collect gems for a later part of the game. That might be annoying for some players but I collected them while traveling to different locations so it wasn’t a big deal. I think people were expecting more modern elements like an actual open world rather than a hub, but I knew that was never going to happen while the game was being held back by the switch 1. If your expectations aren’t that high and you like metroid it’s a good time. People are complaining about the story but I would still rank it higher than Other M despite it being paper thin.

>>45256
expectations seem to have been a bit overflown, but also there seems to be a general sense of bitterness towards nintendo because the switch 2 is a bit expensive and they still don't have a definite "killer game" that justifies the entry price

>>45256
>>45260
Also scathing reviews of other Nintendo sequels (TotK) have been doing number recently so some people are probably trying to bottle that lightning.


>>45256
Switch 1 had proper open world games like Xeno X and BotW/TotK though. How was it held back?

I've had this idea in my mind for a few years to make a strategy game about organizing labor unions and worker-owned cooperatives, but I'm not really sure how to make it FUN and RADICALIZING for both KIDS and ADULTS. thoughts?

classic video up there with richard spencer getting punched in the face

I like the idea of quicktime dialogue events like they were used in Katana Zero, even though those were not the central point of the game. Trying to convince someone a union is worth their time when they're trying to go back from their lunch break of they're in the parking lot about to go home could be treated in a similar way.

>>39437
this seems like a cartoony base building game so I'm not sure how the playstyle would translate to union organizing

>In 1983 the video game industry crashed, plunging from an estimated global market value of $42 billion in 1982 to only $14 billion in 1985. It was catastrophic for what had seemed an unstoppable industry and, like most economic crashes, spawned many myths about its causes and outcomes.

>The popular imagination blames the crash on a combination of poor-quality games (most famously, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial), the rise of home computers, and the increasing number of video game consoles for consumers to choose from. These myths have largely been accepted and perpetuated by historians, social media personalities and popular culture.


>Fast forward to 2025 and the video game industry seems to be going through another crash. Just this year alone, according to the website GamingLayoffs.com, the industry collectively has laid off 3,563 game developers. Gaming website Kotaku reports that Virtuous Ltd, the studio behind one of the biggest successes of the year with The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered, is laying off three hundred employees.


>What the crash of 1983 and the ongoing crash of 2025 have in common is that in both cases, most media, historians and social media influencers have muddied the waters on the cause and source of the crisis.


>In a way, the gaming industry is a canary in the capitalist coal mine. Video games are a sort of luxury goods – nobody ever died from not being able to play Donkey Kong Country or failing to grab the latest Call of Duty game. What this means in practice is that the capitalists who own and run the industry can be as greedy and rapacious as possible, above and beyond what they think they can get away with in more “serious” industries.


>Going back to 1983, Atari’s home version of Pac-Man – considered one of the worst games ever made – still managed to sell a total of seven million copies. Subjectively that’s an eye watering sum of units to sell; objectively it was the highest selling game the Atari console would ever sell. But despite this, Pac-Man for the Atari 2600 console reveals one of the unspoken truths about capitalism: it’s not enough to be successful. While Pac-Man sold seven million units, the corporate executives had banked on selling twelve million – that target would have required every single Atari

>collapse of the western video game industry
didn't happen,give me one studio who collapsed

>>45190
several small studios collapsed, but you're right, that's less of a collapse, and more like a concentration of capital towards the top

>>45190
Massive layoffs since 2021

>>45209
that's just the covid/post covid boom in the market no longer being relevant,so they fire people to compensate with the hirings that happened back then

>>45034
I think you'd have a lot more indie developers under socialism. If you didn't have to work to eat every day until you die, there'd be more of a reason to dabble in programming and learn something.



 

In this thread we discuss dinosaurs and games that prominently featured dinosaurs. What's your favorite dinosaur game leftypol?

Body is apparently too short? What the hell more am I supposed to put here?

jurassic park arcade 1993

>>45347
My favorite dinosaur game is Jurassic Park Operation Genesis, did anyone else here play that game?

I 'member playing Nanosaur on a Mac in elementary school. I think you play as a laser armed, jetpack equippred raptor sent back in time to retrieve dinosaur eggs. Sadly I never finished it.

I also used to have the first Fossil Fighters on the DS. It's basically Pokemon but with various prehistoric animals. Even has its own dopey team rocket equivalent that eventually gets replaced by a world destroying threat.

there is an insane amount of dinosaur and prehistoric games within roblox

>>45479
Care to recommend some?



 

Are gacha games another part of why a lot of young men are reactionaries? It seems like gacha gaming in general seems to be something that is supported in a lot of right-wing nations and even in China the gamers who like gacha games tend to be rather right-wing. Is this a chicken or the egg scenario though?

40k reads like a superhero comic disguised as a military drama.

Most of the books and official animated media focus more on spectacle, exaggeration, humour, absurdity, and hype than on believability (not realism, believability and consistency) and immersion at the cost of tonal consistency and the depth of many of its characters. This series has many issues with scaling and tension when a new world/empire threat ending pops up each edition while the imperium is written to feel nearly always reactive and in a vegetative state. The imperium was never good, but never written to be so laughably incompetent that major galaxy ending crises could casually manifest without any pushback. Remember when the imperial guard was so strong it had to be nerfed in lore? Yeah I miss when the scaling of the series wasn’t 100% catered to the astartes and the times when the authors tried to write the guard and planetary defence forces as actually useful for protecting humanity…

>>45223
It showed they were pivoting to stories that were more small-scale and character focused that didn't really advance the setting in any meaningful way. Not that theres anything wrong with those type of stories but I always found the perpetual storylines boring and kind of meaningless.

>>45224
Fuck you talking about, modern imperial guard is anything except Rambo. You know how bad they’ve been shafted in the recent books? Like at least for a time, the authors tried writing them and the planetary defence forces as actually competent and intimidating soldiers. The recent editions make it questionable why the imperium even has these guys active.

>>45225
Literally the opposite problem. Every fucking edition brings a new galaxy ending crises somehow worse than the last one where the power scaling gets even more nonsensical and absurd (apparently the emperor fought Horus through 13 dimensions or some shit in one of the newest books), entire systems are casually given Horus heresy level disaster situations for just because for narrative convenience (like how marvel seemingly has a new world ending threat every week just to find a lazy excuse to keep publishing avengers comics) at the complete cost of tonal consistency and believability in the 40k setting.

>>45227
Well if it makes you feel better it looks like they're getting ready to chuck the whole thing in the toilet and start over age of sigmar style

>>45228
Oh god this would be so funny.
