RimWorld vs Star Project
RimWorld
RimWorld is a sci-fi-themed colony simulation game where you need to build a livable and possibly self-sustaining base by making full use of all the skills your survivors have. Your survivors have their own sets of personalities as well and hence, they will react to the events that are happening around them, form relationships with other survivors, and even refuse to do work that they don't want to do. It's also nice to note that the game emphasizes on parts of the body so if your survivor lost a leg in an accident, he or she can still hobble around on the other provided that some form of replacement, like a peg leg, is given.Although most worlds have multiple biomes, the world you play in is randomly generated, so basically, you will never get the same world twice. The most interesting part about this game though is its AI storyteller. It is the "god of luck" who will throw challenges at you, be it disasterous weather or a pirate raid. There are a few types you can choose from as well, ranging from Randy Random who likes to randomly give you events to deal with to Phoebe Chillax who favors more neutral or positive events and takes it easy with the more negative ones.
RimWorld is perhaps the ultimate story-driven sandbox game that not only lets you build your own colonies and manage them; you'll also get to experience a story that is written as you play along. Sounds just like a game you'd like to play? Well, be sure to check this game out!
Star Project
Star Project is an anime-inspired, dating-themed game where you are an entertainment CEO and manager who is trying to save your company. However, everything changed when you stumble upon a charming country boy, named Yoon, who dreams of making it big as an entertainer. Naturally, your instincts kicked in and you start nurturing him into the celebrity you know he could be. Aside from setting him up with gigs, you can even dress him from head to toe, and even engage in a romantic relationship with him.This game may not be exactly the same as the old Star Project which had been shut down, but it is quite similar in its gameplay and storyline... close enough to be a great alternative game for those who had longed for the game to return.
