Will Wright and Brian Eno - Spore Creature Demo

"The Sims" designer Will Wright demonstrates the character-creation phase from his latest game, "Spore," with additional commentary by musician Brian Eno.

-----

Will Wright and Brian Eno on "Playing with Time."

In a dazzling duet Will Wright and Brian Eno give an intense clinic on the joys and techniques of "generative" creation.

Back in the 1970s both speakers got hooked by cellular automata such as Conway's "Game of Life," where just a few simple rules could unleash profoundly unpredictable and infinitely varied dynamic patterns. Cellular automata were the secret ingredient of Wright's genre-busting computer game "SimCity" in 1989. Eno was additionally inspired by Steve Reich's "It's Gonna Rain," in which two identical 1.8 second tape loops beat against each other out of phase for a riveting 20 minutes. That idea led to Eno's "Music for Airports" (1978), and the genre he named "ambient music" was born.

The Long Now Foundation was established in 01996* to develop the Clock and Library projects, as well as to become the seed of a very long term cultural institution. The Long Now Foundation hopes to provide counterpoint to today's "faster/cheaper" mind set and promote "slower/better" thinking. We hope to creatively foster responsibility in the framework of the next 10,000 years - The Long Now Foundation

The original menu was awesome! I wish EA didn't try to make this just like the Sims and have a billion expansions, but sadly, Will Wright's vision will not be fully realized. He should leave EA to make Spore 2.

Couldn't agree more. He should try to find people that would also like to create a company with him, kinda like Valve that was made by former Microsoft employees and they would make Spore 2 with such a great vision of a cool game.
