Retro365 on Little Computer People
It's one of those genius ideas that, after its introduction, lay fallow for a long while, 15 years in fact, before bursting back on the scene again and becoming a megahit.

I've heard the story of how #SimCity was built; #WillWright worked on a helicopter game, which required a city background to fly over. He enjoyed the city building part so much he decided to make it it's own game.

Maybe I should start by making something that simply looks nice, and then figure out how to make it dynamic; a canvas upon which to start layering mechanics.

So I wanted to clarify my last Will Wright rant post. There are two games with Will Wrights name attached: VoxVerse and Proxi. Both with some different spin but both in the end still are designed to have people buy, sell and create NFTs. Get rich quick scheme disguised as a game.

This is a far cry from the Sim City and Sims games of the past. In short: stay far far away from this malice.

Will Wright’s trajectory over the last decade has perplexed me. Building this new gamified social media app. Where they too are using the AI buzzword. As well as pushing “blockchain”. I just don’t feel enthusiasm or excitement for Will’s next “big” thing.

It use to be about this endless creative sandbox to make whatever you wanted. Now it just feels like another sleazy social media app that will sell your data and distract you with NFTs. I’m sad man.

👾​ Here's a couple of great retro titles for the PlayStation 1. Driver 2 and Sim City 2000.
The Driver series was my first true open-world driving simulator games & it blew my mind spending entire summer vacations playing them.
Sim City 2000 was another game I would play for hours at a time. I drove my parents crazy (they found it boring), but I played it for years and it never got old. Will Wright (creator of Sim City/Sims) & team are great folks, I cannot wait to see what the next fancy new thing is they are working on now! 😉​😉​😉​

🎂Auguri a #WillWright, nato il #20gennaio 1960, autore di videogiochi e informatico statunitense.
È stato uno degli sviluppatori più innovativi nell'ambito dei videogiochi di stampo strategico-gestionale. Il suo nome è associato a quello di "Sim". Con questo prefisso creò il suo primo grande gioco: #SimCity. Per la prima volta non si chiedeva di sterminare orde di nemici, ma di gestire con giudizio una città nelle vesti di primo cittadino.
Nel 2000 fu la volta del famosissimo #TheSims.

#WillWright? More like Will's Wrong...
