| _______________ | 1 |  | The Sandpit ? A day in the life of New York City | | If wishes could come true, then I wish for this to be SimCity 5.* This video captures New York City with various cameras to give it a ‘miniaturized’ look.* Such an outstanding video I must say…watching it makes me think of SimCity 4 with many of the mods added on.* I hope the franchise is not over yet.* Maxis – please, please return to your roots.* Image: http://www.simprograms.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif

| _______________ | 2 | | Ocean Quigley's Projects: SimCity 4 and The Sims 2 | | Ocean Quigley, the Art Director for Spore has shared with us more of his projects from his past time working on both The Sims 2 and SimCity 4.* Credit goes to *InfiniteSims* (http://www.infinitesims.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1959:ocean-quigley-more-sims-artwork&catid=157:news&Itemid=1153) for the find!
*SimCity 4 – Movie Feature Cam* (http://oceanquigley.blogspot.com/2010/03/simcity-4-animation.html)
SimCity 4 had this neat feature (put in by Paul Pedriana) where you could have the game advance a single frame and save a screencapture, advance another frame and save a screencapture and so on.
It let me make little movies of the game as I was working on it, without skipping any frames, which was impressive for the time.
Here’s one movie that I captured while authoring an aerobatic flying team for the game:
The airplane movement is all scripted with Andrew’s (http://www.andrewwillmott.com/) particle system, which means that there’s really no flight model there at all! Just particles attracting and repelling each other, and chasing the lead particle. It was pretty sweet! I could even have them explode if they got too close to each other or hit the ground.
The camera was just another particle parented to the lead jet.
I used that system in all sorts of unlikely ways. I think the coolest use was for the soccer games in the stadium. Eventually you’d notice that the team’s behaviour was a bit odd for soccer, but it held up to a cursory viewing.
* The Sims 2 – Stairs*
Here’s a design visualization I did for the Sims2 while trying to figure out how stairs should work.
It’s done in my favorite design tool, Maya.* Doing visualizations like this is a great design practice for a few reasons.
First, it forces me to think through exactly how a system is supposed to work, step by step. So when eventually I ask an engineer to implement it in code, I’ve got a clear idea of what I’m asking for.
Second it’s way of expressing the problem to the other people who might care about it (designers, producers, engineers). And if it’s a good visualization, it makes the problem (and hopefully the solution) clear to everybody.

| _______________ | 3 | | Planning a development project? Not a wise idea to use SimCity? | | Image: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2705/4410172964_a6c0f35ddc_m.jpg Duane Faust proposed a multi-million dollar development project which includes a hydrogen energy plant and a mass transit system.* However, Duane ran into a few problems – one being the fact that he used SimCity 4 to illustrate his ideas rather than taking the professional route by drafting.* Apparently the City Planning Services are having a huge fuss over this matter calling it absurd and an ‘early April Fools’ joke.
Not only that, but Faust also also stole an image used to illustrate a proposed hydrogen-powered subway system from hydrail.org (http://www.hydrail.org/), a “program designed to promote hydrogen-powered rail systems created by Appalachian State University.?
Guy is probably in deep water now, as he cannot be reached for contact as the telephone numbers to his firms in California and Atlanta have been disconnected.
It was also reported that, “Faust could not be reached for comment. Telephone numbers connected to him and his firms in Atlanta and California have been disconnected.”

| _______________ | 10 | | Lazy Game Reviews ? Streets of SimCity | | This video shows off a great deal of what Streets of SimCity is about.* I did manage to pick up a sealed copy of Ebay, but I have no plans on opening it – plus I don’t think it’ll work with Windows 7 x64, it had a hard enough time working back in 1996!* Also, guy has a super games collection more games collection…I still got a few more of the older games to pick up, but I’m getting there!

| _______________ | 11 | | As SimCity Franchise Stagnates, Developers Grow City Building Games on Facebook | | Image: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2190/4275054735_d9895fd8e6_o.gif
I’m willing to bet that this year we’ll see SimCity on Facebook – EA would be crazy not to port over a game of that magnitude after acquiring PlayFish.* Other various games like MyTown and Farmville proves that simulation games perform quite well on the social giant.* I’d fear though my loss of productivity if they did…it’s bad enough that I’m addicted to Spore Islands and Bejeweled…if SimCity was tossed in the mix I don’t think I’d ever be able to pull away from Facebook!

| _______________ | 13 | | Destructoid ? How SimCity 3000 made me fall in love with Jazz | | I’m not speaking about myself but of Kraid over at *Destructoid*.* He published an article earlier today about how SimCity 3000 introduced him to Jazz and how he became a fan of the genre.** While I do find the music of SimCity 3000 to be enjoyable, I can’t really say I have the same opinion.* I don’t mind Jazz but it isn’t something I care to listen to all the time.
Ten years ago I bought one of my favorite games of all time. I still play SimCity 3000 Unlimited every now and then like any other classics in my collection. Creating huge metropolis, challenging myself with weird urban designs and landscapes, I've always been fascinated by Will Wright's series from the very beginning. One of the best aspects of the game however is the music, vilely infused with pure post Hard-Bop era smooth-jazz and some cool New Age Electronica.
It took me a long time however to finally realize that I had this secret love for Jazz. Prior to two or three years ago I had no idea who John Coltrane or Miles Davis were yet at the same time I knew these songs and rhymns. I was familiar with the specific era of which I am now a huge devoted fan.
