It's a great day! First announced for the end of the year, then for the start of the September, it is finally today that the big migration takes place from simulagri.fr to univers-simu.com. And the operation went well.
Created in 2017 to deal with the growing news around agricultural simulations, “Simul - Agri” has since come a long way. Born out of a passion for 2 worlds, farming and video games, I've strayed a bit from the main theme this past year (yes I'm going to speak in the first person in this article). The cause ? The incredible number of simulations to see the day, widely worn by the publisher Playway in passing. In short, the landscape has changed. Farming simulation is dominated by Farming Simulator, and the name SimulAgri was getting harder and harder to wear, too restrictive, especially when posting videos and news on Power Wash Simulator, firefighting, Fishing North Atlantic, Via Snowrunner, and many more.
So what's just a name change?
Yes and no, rather a return to basics since on Univers-Simu.com, we will deal more with news than modding, modding sites are legion and it is not in this field that the vocation of the site is . Editor of 99% of the content of the site, I am supported by Vincent, Flo and Kevin, the very active members of Univers Simu. For my part, I will focus on all these simus that come out every week in order to make you discover them. In short, the content will greatly expand, with more content VR, a review of the web, hardware, etc. It will also be better categorized, with news and mod tests well separated.
Le forum and our social networks remain our favorite place for exchanges with the community. You are more than 100.000 each month to survey the columns of the site, and if you are a user of the forum or our newsletter, good news, nothing changes.
Surrounded by good people
This last year has also been full of meetings in addition to the many projects that revolve around the former simulagri structure. I am thinking in particular of those who are part of the walls and who help me on a daily basis: TontonLulu, Pierro, Guil'Home, NicoPix's, Gwendal, Gaetan, and all those you will find with a specific role on our discord, not to mention the members of Giants Software and Focus Home Interactive who have supported the project since its inception.
There you have it, what more can we say if not a big thank you to you, dear readers, faithful year after year. And don't forget that Univers-simu.com - ex simulagri.fr - is YOUR site, and that you can contribute to it, both on social networks and through editorial content, the door is open to newcomers, if the pen itches you.
We take stock very quickly on the next live Youtube / Twitch.
