Crazy man, enjoy!

You said ...

Steve: "They said they hang up our icons through out the entire office ... character development ...creature developments. So anything you guys are making, trust me the development team is very, very aware of that. And in fact you've seen a lot of the icons within the game. They seem to have an uncanny resemblance to the user created icons on our uh forums. So ah, I don't think that's ah *chuckle* um a coincidence to say the least."

What creature did you see? Any Naucean looking?

Wow, you have made quite a comeback Steve. Let's just hope this gets a little more steady.

I know you're not allowed to discuss about that secret game project you we working on. But I was wondering how far have you come in your experience so far. Are you close to it's completion?

Ahh, you are starting to spoil us again with all these new podcasts, Steve

Steve you keep looking for a game behind Spore, but Will Wright doesn't make games. By definition the product that Will makes is video toys.

Please keep-up the podcasting.

What you must realise is, there is no game.

hm... i think maby only the creature creation might be interesting, the rest of teh game will be mediocore, just like sims was :(
but i have to say i like what i c on some videos, but i guess everything is just an excuse fore creating a "creature", I doubt there will be any real "strategy" in this game as mr Wright mentioned in one of his presentations (atleast not as regular strategies as we know it) but a bit of very limited micromanaging like in sims (that boring feelings part)
