Will Wright's new thing is a blockchain game.
It's been awhile since we last heard from Will Wright, the famed designer behind SimCity, The Sims, and Raid on Bungeling Bay. And it brings me no pleasure to say that he recently revealed what he's up to these days, and it's a blockchain game called Voxverse., a developer co-founded by Wright and Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? co-creator Lauren Elliott.
"There will also be jobs," Wright notes later in the video."We'll allow people to actually create business, employ other Voxes, or work in a job. One of the interesting things here is that even when you're offline your Vox is still going to be online as an NPC, so when I'm offline my Vox can still be working at a job and earning me money."
That doesn't sound like the most compelling videogame experience ever—if anything, it strikes me as a wholly generic description that could be applied to just about every other blockchain game I've ever heard of. Ownership and economics are clearly at the core of the experience, but Wright toldthat he's"much more interested in attracting a million free-to-play players than, you know, 10,000 rich whales, although we could use those rich whales.
