He held a multimedia presentation and spoke one-on-one with game students about a wide range of topics, of course including the success of The Sims and SimCity.

744. Slice City in the News

Written on Tuesday 17 February 2004 at 13:05 by ChEeTaH - 3 comments.

Sims fansite SimSlice has made news. Their "Slice City", which brings SimCity to The Sims, attracted Wired, and they've written an article entirely about the download. Here's a snippet:

"Now the series has come full circle. The plug-in from Simslice, called Slice City, lets the Sims in the game play a video game in which they create mini cities. So, along with the many things that Sims can be instructed to do -- such as going to work, playing guitar, cooking, socializing and dating -- they can blow endless hours creating small urban environments."

For the complete article, which also contains some quotes from Steve Alvey, a designer at SimSlice, click here. For Slice City, click here.

745. Maxis' Move followed by Rumours

Written on Monday 16 February 2004 at 13:15 by ChEeTaH - 5 comments.

The relocation of the studios of Maxis has made some people worried. It's rumoured that the move could cause (or has caused) delays of The Sims 2. Besides the extra commute time for employees of about 2 hours, some of those 300 employees have been laid off. The reason is that there were already people at the new location (where EA was already based) filling their positions. There are also rumours that one of those who was laid off, was the lead designer of The Sims 2. EA has not commented about the suspicions yet. This information has been published by PC Zone UK. Click here for the entire article.

Please note that some of the things mentioned are only rumours and can in no way be considered definitely true.

748. Chat Transcript

Written on Friday 13 February 2004 at 13:15 by ChEeTaH - 5 comments.

Maxis has posted the chat transcript, of which we already gave you some information. Some information that I didn't give you yesterday (because I missed some parts of the chat myself) is that Maxis has delayed The Sims 2 because they were adding more features, mainly in the neighborhood. The cooking skills of teens usually won't be great. Maxis will also release a tool similar to HomeCrafter. They already use that for designing now, and might release it once the bugs have been taken out. There's a lot more to read though, with many previously answered questions. You can find the complete transcript right here.
