Designer Diary #3 - University gone Gold
GameSpot has posted a third edition of the Sims 2 University designer diary. In it, Designer Hunter Howe talks about the final process of making the expansion. He says there are some imperfections in the game, and not all features initially planned worked out too well. Also the birth of the sprinklers is mentioned: in dorms fire would start in the kitchen, causing "absolute death." Tuning is also a major part of the developing process, making sure that everything's working well and is fun to play. Finally it's bug-hunting that's going on. A lot of bugs are made during the creation of the pack, and eliminating them all is important to get the game right in the end.

The big news though is that the pack seems to have gone gold, even though that hasn't been officially announced yet. For more details, check out the complete designer diary. The three screenshots below were included in the diary as well.
