Another interview with Will Wright
Besides GameSpy, Boomtown has also taken the time to sit down with Will Wright, designer of The Sims, for about an hour. Besides talking about The Sims 2, gaming, other games, and a few other things, he talks about the origin of The Sims:
"The Sims came about from two sources. Firstly there was Sim Ant, which I was pleased with because of the behavioural models of the ants. I wondered whether it was possible to assign similar behaviours to a human being in a video game. Also at the time I was reading a lot of architectural books that ended up sparking the idea of customising your house."
It's all quite nice to read, but you won't find too much new stuff in it. You can read everything about it right here.
