This is now one of my favorite comments on hacker news. Thanks! I've been wondering -- how to recreate this feeling in an MMO? We can definitely have scale changes by letting people zoom in or out and changing their character avatar size and walk speed accordingly. But changing apparent time is hard. Unless you can "zoom in," program a bot, then zoom out and then it's running at a faster rate then you zoom in and see a new civilization it created, etc.
- goldenkey 7y agoThanks. I am flattered :-) That would be an awesome theme for a game. Be a cell, an insect, a tree/ent, a human, a planet, or a galaxy. Change the scale of time and space, watch civilizations rise and fall. It's an epic thought. Would probably be a very hard game to program though.
