[Column] General: Greed Monger & Player Immersion

In today's Independency, we take a look at what some call a "true sandbox experience" and at the notion of how players have a chance to be deeply immersed in the game. Read on and then leave us your thoughts in the comments.
And while the sheer deluge of Kickstarter-related material has turned me into a bit of a cynic, it's difficult not to get a little excited about Green Monger. To begin with, Greed Monger has achieved something plenty of other Kickstarter campaigns have failed at - they've achieved their goal. They're done. There are ten days left to their campaign period but they're done. Money will, at some point, pass hands between the developers and their earnest, would-be fans.

I don't think this is going to crash and burn. More like drive around the landing strip until the engine fizzles out...
I can't wait till 2016, when we all look back on the time when hundreds of millions of dollars we're invested into games that didn't go anywhere, and laugh.
Hi
The repopulation is not out yet so you can't say if it's successful or not, also their kickstarter was successful. On topic, this looks very promising and I want to believe these guys have what it takes although indie projects and high ambitions often don't bode well.

Once a month you come out with a gem like this and I LOVE IT!
Keep up the great work!
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

I think you are confusing "The Repopulation," which is a promising sandbox still in development with "Earthrise," which has already released and shutdown. Bravo.

i dont know if ill play this game, but the write up on it sounds promising. i just worry indie dev's promise too much (aka DFo/MO) and inturn make mistakes along the way that ruin the game's enjoyment factor.
but other then that, the game if it launchs without too much of a hitch could be quite fun with what its currently promising to offer.
Fixed.

I am interested in it, i am tired of the shallow mmos that are out now.
