Wldlife Tycoon:Venture Africa Short Description:
Part RTS, part Zoo Tycoon, and part Lemmings
Wldlife Tycoon:Venture Africa Long Description:
The broad game design evolved from my desire to make games that would inspire thought and curiosity from the game itself, not just from some super-imposed learning element or retro-fitted didactic storyline. The game is much more than stealth-education, though it is not a documentary in disguise. The thought-inspiring and meaningful moments in the game are too closely intertwined with the entertainment and the game design to be talked about as separate entities.
The game may have the word "Tycoon" in the title, but don't let that fool you, either. It's a unique Artificial Intelligence based strategy game that is one part RTS, one part Zoo Tycoon, and one part Lemmings. In each level, you attempt to achieve some population total for a certain species of animals by building up stable ecosystems of autonomous creatures.
