Will Wright is best known for bringing simulation games based on virtual worlds to the forefront of popular culture with his groundbreaking computer game, SimCity, and later, The Sims — a life simulation game that became one of the best-selling video game franchises of all time. Wright co-founded Maxis Software in 1987, launching SimCity shortly after, and a series of spin-off games over the course of three decades, earning him acclaim as one of the most revolutionary game designers worldwide. He was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2001 Game Developers Choice Awards, inducted into the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences' Hall of Fame in 2002, and recognized as a British Academy of Film fellow in 2007, among other accolades. Wright is currently working on Proxi, a groundbreaking game slated to come out next year which will enable people to play in scenes rendered from their own memories.

• Generating game concepts
• Understanding player psychology
• Mental modeling
• Developing a visual language

[Recorded November 20, 2003]
Will Wright has become one of the most successful designers of interactive entertainment in the world. He began working on what would become SimCity—The City Simulator in 1985. Using a complex technique, he found a way to bring realistic simulations to desktop PCs. Previously simulations of this sort were only available to the military, scientists and academicians. However, using an easy to use graphic interface, the world of simulations opened up to consumers.

Wright co-founded Maxis (now part of Electronic Arts) with Jeff Braun in 1987. SimCity was released in 1989, and within a few months became a hit. The game has since won 24 domestic and international awards. With Fred Haslem, Wright co-designed SimEarth—The Living Planet in 1990, a simulation of a planet based on the Gaia theory of James Lovelock. In 1991, Wright and Justin McCormick designed SimAnt—The Electronic Ant Colony, a scientifically-accurate simulation of an ant colony. SimCity 2000, and SimCopter, a helicopter flight game, are also part of Wright's recent repertoire. SimCity 3000 Unlimited, the definitive version of 1999s best-selling game SimCity 3000, continued in the tradition. The long-awaited 4th generation, SimCity 4, was released in January 2003.

Taking computer entertainment to its most personal level, Wrights ground-breaking game The Sims, puts players in charge of the lives of a neighborhood of simulated people. Released in February of 2000, this wildly popular title has become a cultural phenomenon, sold millions of copies worldwide, has received numerous Game of The Years accolades, and has become the best selling PC game of all time. The Sims has inspired several expansion packs including Livin Large, House Party, Hot Date, Vacation, Unleashed, and Superstar!

The Sims Online™ enables you to take your Sims to an online world where you get to be yourself or whoever you want to be. In this world you have your own piece of land to do with as you please. In this open-ended, online world, you choose your role, your attitude and your destiny.

In this lecture, recorded in November 2003, Wright discusses various aspects of game design, human interfaces, artificial intelligence, metrics, simulation and the future of gaming.

In this analysis we will look into 5 of Klei Entertainment’s most successful games and discuss 4 characteristics that tie together their approach to game development, and likely explains a lot of the success they’ve seen over the years.

The following games are covered in this video:

Mark of the Ninja
Don’t Starve
Invisible Inc
Oxygen Not Included
Griftlands

I’ve specifically selected these games because they are all favourites of mine, and I’ve spent a lot of time playing these games. Depending on the interest in the video, I may end up doing a specific analysis on one of these games or cover some of their other releases as well.

here a general idea about the main points in this course :
-how to properly use megascans & unreal engine to create RayTraced game environments
-use tiled textures from megascans to create modular pieces or custom pieces ( around 35-40 custom one made using 3Dsmax )
-setup a wide variety of advanced shaders
-learn how to make the overall environment blends together very well
- how to properly use & reuse decals
- using foliage to enhance the scene look by placing them in a smart way
- create custom masks for stuff like windows glass using painter
-learn how to tweak megascan pbr textures to make them more usable
- storytelling through level design
- fake destroyed assets eg : walls
- use unreal blueprints to create splines tools that supports both instancing & a procedural mesh
- make sure the blueprints tools we created more extendable & more artist friendly
- we will cover a bit of VFX & their shaders ..
- lightning along side raytracing / postprocess & other effects & much more.
best way to describe this course is : become a one man army , & it's definitely not for beginners... there is no timelamps & no pre planned stuff or something . students will be able to follow me live digging my way to the end. & this discord server : discord.gg/dr2QnpH will be used to afford direct supports to students .
