What vidya revolves around animals and nature? Not going off-topic, just genuinely curious what games are most up Wauf's alley. I don't know of any games about animals really. Are their any good nature sims?

I have this game, but I'm pretty disappointed in the artistic direction they took. It's reasonably well made (needs optimisation and fixes mind) but it seems to be targeted towards educating children, what with the language and sound design. I would've preferred something a bit more grounded.

Rainworld is an ecosystem simulator in a way. Hard platformer, but very atmospheric once you get into it.
Try EVO search for Eden. Its a sidescroller platformer RPG where you live as various lifeforms and grind evolution points from eating the meat of weaker lifeforms to evolve new parts to upgrade your character with (like horns, fangs, tails, legs ,etc). Probably one of the best snes game out there really.
I don't understand this at all but it's fascinating
I remember being mildly curious about this when it came out.
Fun premise but I think the gameplay was really lacking.
Bet you could do a good one these days.
I hate those "garden simulator" games.
Just put down the smartphone and plant a tomato.
And since board games are brought up ( not sure which of these have electronic versions),

>evolution
>hive
>March of the ants

Does anyone know if The Sapling is any good? For me it doesn't really matter because my laptop can't handle it anyway, but I'm just curious. Supposedly it's one of the best evolution simulators and it's made by just one guy.
Star Wars game where you have to colonise a planet by creating a stable ecosystem on the surface. Very cozy.
When I saw this on Steam I thought it was gonna be a bird simulator, playing as one.
When I realised it was a bird WATCHING simulator... See attached image.
But it's neither of those.
It's a virtual board game.
Specifically an engine-building game like Race for the Galaxy, but with a more "point salad" style goal.
There isn't any birdwatching mechanic or flavor.
Wow, I stand corrected, my bad!
Still, when I realised it wasn't what I was hoping for, I guess I stopped paying too much attention.
It's actually a physical board game first and foremost.
>bird simulator
Genius. That's gonna be the newest mom and dad game hype. I've never played eurotruck but supposedly the appeal is that it's really comfy with nice scenery. The only problem is that bird simulator wouldn't have a radio.
Shitty board game.
Zoo Tycoon 2 and its expansions were a really big part of my childhood, in particular I remember the modding scene and the assloads of user-made custom animals/scenery/etc.I downloaded
I remember having many orangutans and they shitted all over the place to the point where it became very stressful to clean it all up
I'm still playing it to this day kek
Oh, what mods do you have installed by any chance?
Just heard about a new story game called Stray, which is about a pretty cute looking cat. I guess its only tangentially related to animals and nature but you may enjoy it, who knows.
>"Lost, alone and separated from family, a stray cat must untangle an ancient mystery to escape a long-forgotten cybercity and find their way home."
>have to use lights to see in the dark
>as a goddamned cat
>no platforming
Its shit tier.
Star stable online.
>Viva Pinata
Man that was a great game.
You play as a tarantula and a scorpion in the wild that seem to be very resilient.
I forgot to post the image.
These games deserve a remake or a sequel already.
Imagine including dinosaurs but leaving velociraptors out. Fuck
These are the 3 dinosaur Piñata types you can get.
>let's make 2 of them identical and horrendously ugly
Pathetic.
These games beg for a sequel even if the originals were wonderful and comfy as fuck.
- prey and hunter tree is too simple
- low item placement limit
- no ocean biome
- only 3 dinosauses not counting birds
- UI is terrible and slow, unfixeable slowdowns due to the gaming era this game came out
🙁 Viva Pineta 3 please. As well as these improvements, there's so much they could add to these games now. It legit could be Xbox's Animal Crossing.

Is Megaquarium fun if I liked Zoo Tycoon as a kid?
I'm playing Submersed, it's a shitty indie horror game about being chased by sharks in a flooded research facility. Aside from the mostly peaceful nature games everyone already mentioned I like games like Green Hell, The Forest, Stranded Deep etc. where you have to survive in the wilderness and bludgeon sea turtles to death to drink from their shells.
try it for yourself. link was safe for me. I plan to buy it in far future.

Maxis made a few Wauf related games:
SimLife and SimEarth are basically just simulations.
SimFarm, SimPark and SimSafari are fun management games
As another anon mentioned, SimAnt is a cool early RTS.
Spore is Spore.
I didn't know they made that many life sims, I didn't even know they made life sims at all. It could've been much bigger if they made a more ambitious one in the early 2000s. Good AI would really elevate these games.
raptor campaign is great
Watching a dude play Empires of the Undergrowth. It's like playing a nature documentary about ants in rts form.
Can rate this. It's like a spiritual successor to SimAnt (which can also go on this list) but slightly more game and less sim, making for a pretty solid strategy game with a fairly realistic feel to it. Basically, streamlined for playability. Should be excellent when it's finished, and it's an early access project that actually gets worked on.
Also you might want to check out Rain World. It's pretty tedious but for similar reasons it's really good at making you feel like a wild animal
I'm ''playing'' an evolution simulator right now. It's called Bibits and it's free.
Birthdays the Beginnings is an evolution simulator where you sculpt the landscape and watch how it effects lineages. Available on steam
harvest moon, zoo tycoon
Not sure its what you're looking for, but subnautica is an exploration game where youre constantly interacting with fictional underwater fauna and flora on an alien planet. It's mega comfy.
mega comfy undersea exploration game with lots of different animals to see
the sequel is good too
This
Spent ages in the first one just wandering the ocean, blew my mind when I found the shipwreck area with the unique ecosystem
I'm an adult, so I don't know
Nice try but you evidently judge your and other people's maturity based on trivial superficial and conceited things such as they play video games or not, so no, you're not really an adult.
>*farts directly into your mouth*
You're on Wauf, retard. We know you're not that much of an adult.
