Spore: Will Wright’s Last Game?
Brian Eno (!!!)
I was actually listening to Brian Eno as I read this:
Brian Eno to Create Generative Spore Soundtrack
Yay, Brian Eno!
I’m getting this kind of sad feeling, though, welling up inside. Is Spore going to be the last game that Will Wright ever designs? He’s acting like it’s a swan song; pulling out all the stops, calling in the best of the best of his friends and acquaintances, talking about Spore as the game he’s always wanted to make…even his wife has stated publicly that she thinks this will be his last game. What a sad, beautiful thing that would be.
I was thinking of writing ‘I hope he writes a book. Or stops smoking. Or both.’ But, really, he teaches us so much more by his games, by his creative example. Oh, Will, won’t you ‘pull a Miyazake’ and make five games, each of which you declare your last? That would be peach
It makes me so happy that you have your domain registered at GoDaddy.
Aww… Poor poor Swink needs a hug.
Spore is great, but not t3h greatness. Will Wright shall live forever!
I’ve been thinking about this too. He did say he has an interest in teaching, and that would be swell. But you have a point about his games… it’s hard to imagine what he could possibly do beyond Spore. Maybe he’ll end up making smaller, simpler games again?
