Will Wright Discussing Gaming as a Form of Time Travel
Happy New Year everyone! And what better way to start off the new year than by watching a presentation by Will Wright? Will recently spoke at the When 2.0 workshop at Stanford University and talked about the role of time in game play. CNET just posted a short video of his speech for all to view and even though its only four minutes long it is quite interesting.
For those who have never heard a lecture by Will Wright before, it is a truly memorable experience. Listening to him talk for just a few minutes and you quickly realize that Will is really on a whole other level when it comes to designing games.
Also make sure to view his presentation from last year's Game Developers Conference where he unveiled to the world his next game creation, Spore (which we at Gaming Steve are following quite closely).
He's like, the EINSTEIN of game development.
Jeez, this quality of info you don't get from most developers.
Love this guy's speeches. He really is a next-gen game designer in a current-gen world.
And boy am I glad he is.

Posted by Gaming Steve at January 2, 2006 5:51 PMThanks much man!
Posted by PatMan33 at January 2, 2006 7:28 PMHmm, Will Spore be "dynamically tuned" to the players actualization of a particular point on the possibility space? That is, will Spore change the challenges and obstacles you face in response to how you play the game?
Posted by Wahh at January 2, 2006 9:23 PMwow borogrove thanks for that, love listening to will wright speak, great find. I declare you king among men!
