Do we have anything going on the economy side of the game yet?asked by Idleonious

I mean, we know the basics of what the economy is going to look like, but no, we haven't started even building it. We've got a lot of things to work out on that side of things. And we're probably looking at maybe bringing an economist on to help us with that.

We were just having a discussion about the challenge of that. Much like the economy, when you analyze it, it's a bunch of chaos creating emergent behavior. We're looking at ways of using simple rules to iteratively process and create emergent behavior in the world. So that's a tricky subject. And how do we also manage things so that they serve fun gameplay and don't go completely out of control, and at the same time create a sense of chaos in the world that is natural and makes it feel like it's real.
