Interesting idea, but not sure the goal of becoming the most useful person in society makes much sense in any sort of realistic way.
For example, most people I know would prefer to simply spend time with family and friends, or to do whatever hobby they enjoy. It’s rather rare that I see someone say, ‘I love to spend my time convincing people to help me advance my own goals’.
All that is to say, real motivations usually look closer to things like security, moral rightness, connection, status, enjoyment, ease, understanding, self-actualization... And the reality of each of those look different per person.
Also curious to see how this simulation tackles events like natural disasters, food&resource shortages, plagues, wars. Who gets what? What values are prioritized and who picks?
I’d like to try the game, but I think I’d prefer a mobile friendly web app. Good luck!
