SXSW07: Will Wright keynote

Will Wright

Sim City and Sims Creator

hobby – Stupid Fun Club

few thoughts on story telling…

“i hate stories”

sees the world as a simulation

truman show and groundhog day 2 great gaming movies
– truman trying to escape the game
– groundhog exploring the world infinite times

people love creating content and sharing
– if we give them better tools, the output will be better

he quickly showed COOL graphs that chart the data of social relationships and choices players made in aggregate on the sims (NEAT!)

use other player choices to help you figure out what similar players would like

i can’t wait for spore

character builders – tried to make a maya for kid levels

will be able to access items made by other players – props, character
