A Neil DeGrasse Tyson game: A first general look

Neil Degrasse Tyson, as some of you may know, is famous for explaining in very explicit details why it is not possible to do cool moves and actions in games and movies. That kind of lessen the fun out of those really. However, the man himself is going to help design a new game, called Neil DeGraase Tyson Presents: Space Odyssey, and it looks fun to play.

According to the Space Odyssey website, the gameplay is going to be similar to any trategic games out there. For instance, you will have to build your own galaxy, nurture the species, harvest and mine resources for other uses, discover other life forms, etc. Typical tasks to do in strategic games. You will get the feeling of being the creator of your own galaxy, and how it develops is entirely up to you.

Of course, with he participation of Dr. Tyson himself, the game will have, as the producers say, a “foundation based in scientifically-accurate gameplay”. The game really looks entertaining, but there will be educational elements in it, based on scientific facts. So this game might be able to appeal to more than just gamers. What’s even cooler is, Dr. Tyson will be your trusted Space Advisor as well! You will be guided and given advices by he man himself.

At first, Dr. Tyson is reluctant to take part in this project. However, he was convinced by his own daughter to participate. Hopefully that would make the game great. Dr. Tyson has a great knack for making dry science topic engaging and easy to understand (as some would say, put more “swag” on it). You can check out the game’s website for more info here.
