Post details: Will Wright's Keynote at SXSW 2007

Will Wright's Keynote at SXSW 2007

Some insiders believe that SPORE may be the most ambitious most highly anticipated computer game in history. USA Today calls it "gaming's giant leap." The New Yorker says it explores the "limitless possibility of life itself.' And the New York Times, suggests that SPORE 'deserves to be seen as a work of art.' Drawing on inspirations that range from the SETI project to the Eames movie, The Powers of Ten, SPORE takes gaming to an unprecedented scope and scale to the concept of life itself. You begin as a microscopic cell struggling to survive in the primordial soup. If you can evolve, growing and gaining intelligence, you can travel a vast galaxy deciding the fate of entire planets. Join us as Will Wright, the visionary game designer behind SPORE and arguably the most celebrated game designer of our time will discuss his plans to bring to life vast beauty and possibility offered by our universe, and create a game that encourages every player to consider his or her place in the galaxy. He will also address the challenges of developing a narrative in non-linear and linear mediums, and explore his inspirations for the game. This session should not be missed.

Will Wright   Chief Designer,   Maxis/EA
