This design allows us to have minimalistic shapes that are similar to humans, but it also still allows us to give them complex animations that will help players understand their emotions.

They’re clumsy, but their drive for survival is strong. They’re cute, small creatures that don’t have any visible limbs.

Why Nuggets? We feel that this name fits them well (laughs). The Universim © Image courtesy of Crytivo Games We want players to feel like they are playing with real worlds, something that lives and breathes. Planets in The Universim have a huge effect on the lives of Nuggets, varying from ever-changing seasons to natural disasters that can dramatically change the pace of the game. We are investing a lot of time into the Nuggets’ artificial intelligence and behaviour, as we want them to feel alive, make their own decisions, have their own thoughts, and form their own relationships. Nuggets are very sensitive creatures that need your guidance and support. You’re the god of the creatures living on the planet, who are known as Nuggets. You help a civilization evolve from the Stone age where they use simple, primitive tools to build their houses and farms all the way to the era of space exploration, where you’ll assist the civilization in colonizing and discovering new planets. The Universim is a planet management god game built from the ground up with modern philosophies and ideas. Now we have a team that works on the game full-time and delivers amazing monthly updates. We have invested all of our love and effort into this project. After the Kickstarter, we continued crowdfunding on our website The success of The Universim and the amazing support that goes along with it is making The Universim even bigger and brighter. Within 30 days, the project was successfully funded and the hard work began. In 2014, we launched our Kickstarter campaign where we shared the first concept of The Universim with the world. Thus, the idea was born and Alex started forming the team that would eventually help make The Universim a reality. We felt that the last decent one was made decades ago and we decided to give the god game genre some new life. Of course, there have been many god games in the past, but they’ve felt a bit dry in recent years. Alex came up with the cool idea of making a god game on a planetary scale, something that is very rarely seen, if at all. How did Crytivo Games get started? Crytivo Games is the one-man-dream that was born in 2013 on the sofa in the living room, and that’s when the company was established.
