The Universim Finally Out of Steam Early Access

After a decade in development, Crytivo Games has finally launched The Universim, complete with an update that brings a ton of new content, features, and bug fixes.

The Universim is a civilization management sim where you play as a creator with godlike powers. In this game, you are tasked to guide a civilization lovingly known as "Nuggets" from the Stone Age to the Space Age.

You can bless the Nuggets with rain and good weather to keep the civilization alive. If you do not like what they have become, you can cause natural disasters to make dramatic changes. After all, even the best civilizations require an occasional smiting!

Launch Update

So, what does The Universim's launch update have to offer? For one, the game now fully supports 4K resolution displays. If you are rocking a high-end 4K monitor, be sure to tinker with the in-game settings to take advantage of this!

If you love streaming on Twitch, the company has added a new command that allows your audience to specify which Nugget they want you to attack. Furthermore, connectivity issues when streaming The Universim seem to have been ironed out, according to the game's patch notes.

The launch update brought a plethora of improvements as well. For instance, Nuggets that are beamed into UFOs will no longer have their HP and stats reduced while they are abducted. Besides that, weather phenomena like Droughts will now add or remove lakes depending on the circumstances.
