Sandbox Games like Haven&Hearth, DF and Minecraft
« on: February 08, 2011, 02:45:57 am »

Hi there :)

I'm searching for Sandbox Games like Haven&Hearth, Dwarf Fortress and Minecraft. It is no problem if itīs a MMO or SP Game. But it should have a Skill Based System like Haven&Hearth if it is one like that. I just like such Games, where I can do everything I like.
Games you donīt have to mention:

EVE Online
Ultima Online

X Series? Though they aren't skill based unless you count faction relations.

Ever checked out Garry's Mod? It is available on steam for 10$, and you can do almost everything you want in it.
Definitely check it out, if you don't know it.

EDIT: A ton of great machinimas and other good videos has been made using it, often related to Team Fortress 2 (and some other VALVe games too)

You might wanna check the YouTube accounts of guys like DasBoSchitt, kitty0706, or antoine35DeLak‬‏.

In G-Mod you can basically build anything, mod anything, make almost any kind of movie-like videos and stuff like that.
Or if you want you can kill stuff in it.

Garry's Mod isn't a game though. It is an editor.

It would be similar to me saying RPGmaker.

Also games with powerful editors don't really count either. Otherwise I'd list the old Vampire game.

Garys Mod can totally be considered a game, and i play it as such much more than i play it as an editor.

There is no predefined goal, but you can always have your own goals.
For example you could get the space-build mods and give yourself the goal of reaching mars and setting up a sustainable base. (That's really fun by the way, for an extra bit of Fun, no thrusters or hover-balls allowed. :P)

It is a stand-alone game which needs a source-engined game (not a specified one though)

Quote from: Wikipedia
Despite being a standalone game, Garry's Mod requires the user to own at least one Source game on Steam such as Half-Life 2, Counter-Strike: Source, or Team Fortress 2.

Also, the fun thing in G-Mod is that you can download stuff from the net, so if you want, you can make really advanced contractions, like automatically firing turrets, hologram projectors, self piloting spaceships... Downloading Wiremod allows you to make those things. Also, you can build computers in it, which you can use (play with computer while you're playing with a computer, odd huh)

Then I can easily just say RPGmaker and it would count.

It is an editing program. Sure it may be a "Stand alone" editing program, however it is the same non-the-less and if you include it you have to include an annoyingly lot of other games.

Include them then, I'd like to know about them. Garry's Mod has a lot of sandbox stuff to do right out of the box, so to speak. Just hop into a server and sandbox it up.

So please, include the "annoyingly lot of other games"!

There are garry mod servers that work more as a roleplaying game than simply an area people can use to edit stuff.
