  • A Sims clone has to be better than the Sims and even then I wouldn’t like to play it. A mod friendly life sim engine is something I would definitely want to play.

    I can already imagine a SimGine Skyrim mod being uploaded on day 1.

    But I would suggest to scale it back even more, if I understood correctly, it’s still very ambitious. Make it scriptable, modular, dev & artist friendly. Well documented, treat contributors as first class.

    • Life sim:

    Start with the creation of something where contributors can create for example a dog entity add the a trait called thirst which has a counter that increases x% every x seconds then another contributor adds a bowl of water that replenishes the thirst meter.

    • Building mode:

    Start with a grid and snapping system with layering so that contributors could create the building blocks. Players could import models and assign an entity to it.

    • Character creation:

    Players could start by importing ready made models. The character creator could come later, or you could start with just hats. And go from there.












  • I have the HA app on my phone, it reports my location back to my HA server.

    I would like if Reitti could retrieve my location from my HA server, instead of asking me to upload it again to Reitti. Uploading my location in short intervals drains the battery very fast, it’s something I want to avoid if I can.

    Additiinally, I don’t want to expose anything to the internet. So I pay for the Home Assistant cloud subscription that does it for me in a more secure manner than what I could implement with the little free time I have. Reitti could retrieve my location more securely if it did so without exiting my LAN.
