potential
Sun Feb 04 2018 Hsnncndjsidkdnnzgreat game, crazy potential, needs updates. Here are my suggestions that would really help this game. First off just time, the game is simulated way to fast, you put down a predator and it instantly sprints to go eat a prey, please slow the process down maybe have feeding time or something like that, also a predator without food dies within 30 seconds plz make that longer as well, this would give us more time to enjoy the game and not worry about putting down so many animals, next idea is if predators would fight, that would be cool it happens in real life so it would be epic seeing a rare occasion where 2 predators in the game fight, would be even more cool if the winner would be a surprise that would keep it so interesting, next is the ocean plz put more animals in there im excited to see whats next for the ocean i would like to see sharks and maybe dolphins, the most important update i would like to see is the time situation, predators fighting predators (only sometimes), and more animals like sharks hawks tigers and things like that, would also be cool if there were more things to edit the world with but plz all this game needs is some updates and it would be epic so plz hurry
edit- congrats you have a game with unlimited potential and were to lazy to do anything, dont worry someone else will take this idea and reach its potential
Game needs to be realistic
Tue Jul 07 2015 Crimson God 22This game concept is truly amazing!!! The trees need to be self spawning so the creatures that depend on them don't die out. Also the the creatures in the game should all be interconnected by the food chain and the wolf like carnivores should have a pack mentality so it is more realistic. Also the carnivores need to be less aggressive so they don't kill off all their food, and the herbivores should not beable to kill predators they should run. Also if you happen to put in humans I think they should be like caveman , live in tribes up in the mountains and they come down to hunt and can hunt basically anything they run into. Also the birth rate of humans should be significantly slower but they should be stronger and more resilient. Also if you decide to put in natural disasters like tsunamis or plague that would be cool. The plague could originate from bacteria which is essential to life and is something you have to place In order to have any life on your planet. ( of course the plague ratio would be slim and not common but possible, and would be spread when animals came in contact and there could be certain plagues that certain animals are immune too, predators would most likely be immune so as to kill the sick. I love the game and hope you take these ideas for the most part and incorporate it into the game.
Great game, but needs updates 🌲
Thu Jul 16 2015 <(0-0)>I am I big fan of sandbox games, such as this one. You get to create large mountains and oceans with the touch of your finger. You get to spawn a few creatures, which each have characteristics. Such as, one is a carnivore that runs very swiftly and with a small frame, but the other is chunky like a hippo with large fangs. But, this game needs a few updates. For some reason, whenever I put down 🌲s, they die. I don't get this, but all my giraffe like animals die. They always die out, and never thrive. Another thing is animal population. The sheep and cow like creatures always thrive in great numbers, which makes them invasive. They eat all the grass, which leaves me with a bare world. The carnivores help, but they will eat all the herbivores, then, in two seconds after there gone, they die. Then I have no animals. Please fix that. I also want some thing to eat the birds. The birds are way to invasive, and I have a way too much on my world. The fish aren't a problem, they don't invade too much. Then main problem is the animals, but building the world runs smoothly and works perfectly. Overall, the app is pretty fun. Get this app 😺
Awesome game!!
Wed Dec 10 2014 MidnightRider315I have been searching for a game like this for awhile now, and you have no idea how excited I was when I found this! I really enjoy this game, and it is TOTALLY worth the two dollars, so if you are unsure about this app, stop thinking and buy it. You will not be disappointed. However, I do have a few suggestions (there's always room for improvement, right?). First things first, I think that there should be an option for a blank world, so it starts out as all water, and you can create your own islands. Second, I think that there should be people (which I saw that you are adding already. Yay!!). But I don't think that the people should be, I don't know, modern? I think that I would enjoy the people more if they were actually a part of the food chain, and didn't take over the world. And last but not least, is there a way for you to delete your worlds? If so, I haven't found it, so you could make it a little easier to find. If not, I would love to be able to do that😊 Anyway, I absolutely LOVE this game, and if you just add these few things, I will give it the fifth star it deserves. Keep up the awesome work guys!!!
A relaxing, yet lacking experience
Mon Sep 21 2020 Ooooooo!19Been playing this game for a while now, it still holds true to itself even years later. Such a fun, thrilling little experience. The game really should be updated though, it has a lot of open and loose ends to tie that could really make the experience a whole lot more amped up.
That aside, it’s a ton of fun. Taught me a lot about how to construct abstract and natural looking environments. Simple yet visually appealing. Very beautiful and smooth day and night cycles. The UI is easy to navigate and world building is simplified well enough. I’d say it’s overall flaw would be that it’s lacking. It’s really just a first hand experience at shaping lands, nothing more. I still wish for the day this game gets major changes. It’s a nice thing to play around with when you’re bored. Great game! So much fun even years after it’s release.
Fantastic app!
Tue Feb 06 2018 Thomas.WilsonI love this app. The graphics are great, the utilities are awesome, and the user friendliness of it is just superb. I am in the early development stages for a novel I am writing and have drawn several maps for the world it is about. This app allowed me to bring my world to a 3D format, so that can finally see it in, sort of, a real world look. It has also allowed me to make some alterations and small changes to my world, that will bring more depth to the story.
That being said. I would love to see some small changes that will allow for more natural wonders in the worlds created with this app. For instance, the option to use different weather patterns, the ability to add bodies of water to different elevations and waterfalls, volcanoes, glaciers, and snow covering for atop high mountains, to name a few. (Obviously, I would also like to see humans.)
This app deserves a 5 star rating so far... in my opinion, however, I would love to see new options and changes, to make it even better for future play.
Great idea, but...
Thu Aug 13 2015 N3KR05This is a wonderful game, I absolutely love it and the idea behind it. It's so much fun to spawn in a massive amount of herbivores and then a couple carnivores and watch the herbivores swiftly die out as the carnivores multiply. But through doing this I've noticed that there are some things that should be changed. The crocodiles don't ever die, and I haven't yet seen an herbivore kill one yet. Same thing with the birds, they fly around and destroy all the trees, but nothing can keep their populations in check. I think carnivores should definitely be less aggressive, but they should also try to hunt down other carnivores, as well as a carnivorous bird that will eat the other birds and can be eaten by ground carnivores. And as mentioned by others, I think the idea of "people" would be great! So long as it doesn't turn into a spore/sims mashup :P
I support Topia with 5 deserving stars--
Thu Jul 30 2020 N1TE3YEThe more support this game gets from the players, the better updates we will have in the future. I have been waiting for this title to be released and I'm so glad to own it on my iPhone! I am very pleased with the look and feel of the game. The controls are simple enough, you don't really need much of a Tutorial to get started (although I'm glad it was there to follow).
Any Strategy, RPG or Achievement features in future updates will absolutely have continued support from me. This title sets itself apart from all other games released in the App Store. Great work, Crescent Moon and Glenn Corpes!
[EDIT]
Crescent & Corpes,
Just take a step back to previous releases (such as Topia World Builder) and polish them off a tad bit more ;) Topia is analogous to an unfinished sculpture that shouldn’t take too much effort to polish, but it would be great if the imbalances everyone is mentioning are tweaked. Put your mind to it and create a balance between all ecology. Do that, and players can REALLY create their world and watch it thrive.
[ADDENDUM]
I’m so happy to see another update on this game. Starting it up right after the update finishes (!) Let’s see how the changes and updates play...
Needs improvement
Thu Jan 25 2018 Meltdown 2I absolutely love this game and the idea behind it. The prey of the game shouldn’t be able to fight back and kill off the predators as well as the predators should have a pack mentality so they aren’t killed off so easily. The trees should be self regenerating so the animals that live off of them can’t and won’t die out. I think it should be added that areas that are far enough away from water should turn into desert like land but I also think it should be an interchangeable option if you want this in the game or not. If you’re going to add humans to the game, it’d be interesting to see them be able to evolve to their surrounding areas and utilize predatory animals as well as the prey. Over all, I like the idea behind it and I hope you would take these ideas into consideration
wow!
Thu Dec 31 2015 Jforockzthe game iS AWESOME but can get boring, I know you are working on it but I think it would be cool to be able to customize a species or one creature of a species, and have an opposition bar that says if you want the species to stay together or go alone, and you can change the color or what it eats, maybe a wolf is a vegan so it's a out cast, but gets taken in by sheep, then it protects them, and new biomes that you can draw on to the world, but what if I want a ravine or a sink hole or a cave, well maybe when you dig down water wouldn't just appear, like actually add water Physics and you could fill up holes you made or just pour it on the land, and I think you should make a setting how big your planet is, like small is how it is now, medium and large, please consider these ideas
