-------------- actual description ------------
About 6 months ago I made a video about a project I had started which was basically a Stardew Valley clone, but in space. I talked about how I hated the fact that it was starting to look so much like Stardew Valley, by ConcernedApe / Eric Barone, and that that's why I stopped working on it.
At this moment, over 3 thousand people have seen that video and many people have told me that they would've loved a Stardew Valley like game in space.
So now. As of late August of 2020 (or beginning of September I suppose) I decided to give my game Ikarus another shot.
Ikarus is a life simulator like game in which you are one of the people that is living on the planet Ikarus to research the planet and make it habitable by other people once you know enough about the planet. Is it safe? What other creatures are there? Are they harmful? All kinds of questions and many more!

After seeing the insanely popular videos by Tom Scott and MrBeast, where their thumbnails (or titles) changed based on the amount of views the video had, I wondered if that could be used to make a video game. So in this video, I turned my YouTube thumbnail into a rock, paper, scissors video game. Just comment !vote [your vote] in the comments, and come back when the thumbnail is updated.
