    If you meant me then no.

      Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.

        I would rather it have a lot less biological evolution aspects, and a lot more cultural/ civilizational evolution ( NOT like civ. Civ had none of it). Still sounds very interesting.

            Spore sounds worth keeping an eye on

            Me too...

            Btw, do you know that at simtropolis they're making a SimMars mod for SimCity 4 (and even Will Wright has commented it)... I haven't tried it, will wait til it's done (or as done as it gets)
            This space is empty... or is it?

              it was an established genre, the disaster movie, and in fact there was an old movie on the same story - A Night to Remember. The Sims established a new genre. And is rather more central to the PC industry then Titanic was to movies, again a much more established medium.

                      Thanks , its an amazingly good site. Better yet, the fun has just begun. Their challenge is to release 50-100 of these single concept games in a single semester!

                        Read this if you want more info. The concept is intriguing. I don't know however if it will amount to a good game.

                          Yeah, that's some amazing stuff. The thing that impresses me most is the claim that everything, from the meshes, to the textures, to the animations, is procedurally generated. That's really some impressive stuff. Actually, that's the topic of one of the speeches Wright will be giving Thursday - procedurally generated content. (Incidentally, the man that pops up in one's mind at the phrase "procedural content" - Chris Crawford - will also apparently be there to say a few words. So that's shaping up to be quite an exciting talk.)

                            Yeah, these procedural programming methods are pretty intriguing. From the gamespy article:

                            For inspiration, Wright looked to the "demo scene," a group of (mostly European) coders who specialized in doing a whole lot with a little bit of code. Their procedural programming methods were able to, for example, fit an entire 3D game in 64K, using mathematics to generate textures and music, etc.
                            64K? Wow!

                              Uh, I was trying to point out that just because something makes a lot of money doesn't mean it's good.
