OBSERVE - Craft, Program, and Watch History Unfold
Observe, is a grand strategy simulation where you just don't play. You create the rules and the AI behaviors and watch them unfold. This is essentially a platform where you craft scenarios, program AI behaviors, and witness unique alternate histories develop!
AI Studio - Program Your Own AI
The heart of Observe is the ability to program your own AI and watch it compete against others. Through AI Studio, where you have access to documentation you can create an AI, then assign it to a country of your choosing, and put others' AI's to different countries and test your strategy.
Create complex decision-making algorithms using MiniScript
Watch your strategy compete against others
Learn how the game works from documentation that is included in the AI Studio
Assign different AIs to different countries and create unique behaviors for each nation
The AI Studio features an intuitive interface with documentation built right in. Even if you've never coded before, you'll find yourself creating simple behaviors in minutes. For experienced programmers, the depth is limitless.
Scenario Editor - Craft Your World
The Scenario Editor gives you complete control over your simulations:
Create and customize countries with unique colors, names, and starting territories
Then modify 3400+ regions. Their names, development levels, and population are all customizable
Adjust global parameters like starting dates, time formats, technology levels and even ocean colors
You can save your scenarios, edit them whenever you want, and share them with the community
Save indivual countries to your library to be used in the History Shuffle feature
Every aspect of the world is customizable. Want to see how history might unfold if the Roman Empire survived into modern times? Or what would happen if all continents banded together? The Scenario Editor makes it possible.
History Shuffle - Infinite Alternate Histories
Observe's most unique feature, History Shuffle creates procedurally generated scenarios that provide endless entertainment:
Automatically combines countries from your library into unexpected new scenarios
Witness the Mongol Empire, U.S.A, and Roman Empire compete on the same map
Set to "endless" mode to automatically generate new scenarios after each conclusion without clicking anything
Perfect background entertainment while working or relaxing
With History Shuffle, you'll never run out of fresh content to observe.
Performance & Scale - A World of Detail
Observe was built from the ground up with performance in mind:
3400+ detailed regions across the entire world map
Optimized simulation runs at 60+ FPS even in late-game scenarios
Complete simulations in 10-15 minutes for quick, satisfying sessions
Seamless wraparound map. Cross the Pacific and find yourself in the Americas
The simulation is in depth, all regions have real-world (adjusted) population data and manpower is limited
With supply system, it means that encircled regions or overseas regions with no port connections are easy targets
Map modes to help you understand the world's situation
Tournaments - Compete with Your Strategy
Beyond solo play, Observe features a unique tournament system:
Annual AI programming competitions where the best strategists compete
A challenge to adapt to surprise game updates and new mechanics
Watch the tournament to see crazy player created strategies or join it to be crowned for the year
Since we haven't had a tournament yet, you have the chance to become our first king!
My Promise - No Paid DLC Ever
I'm committed to a player-friendly policy:
One purchase gets you the complete game
Regular content additions based on community feedback, and this is not an empty promise either. Once our community forms, we will hold polls, and discuss new possible features together
This game's creation has been a very lonely work for me. And I am excited to make that no longer the case!
