Meeting Will Wright (Creator of Sims)

Will wright is certainly one of the master minds and one of the greatest creators in the game industry. We went to his lab today to see some of his latest creatures. Interestingly enough he is developing robots now.

He talked about mind and how (he believes) the brain works. I liked the man. Very geeky indeed but he showed that he has earned his reputation for a reason. He seemed to have a great understanding of where we are heading to in terms of the software industry. I had nothing today except so much respect for this great man.

He also talked about the object oriented model in Sims and why he calls it “subject oriented”. SIMS has a great OOP model I will try to find a link that explains it and will post it here.

All in all I have realized that when people run a multimillion dollar company and don’t get to worry about paying bills they get to have more fun and will get really creative.

Update: His conversation with Colbert
