Since 2015, Will Wright — the legendary video game designer behind 'The Sims' and 'SimCity' — has been consumed by a new obsession: how our ever-shifting library of memories forges the self. In his mind, each personal memory from your life is like a snow globe, a world inside a world. But that world could be connected to countless others in conscious and unconscious ways. He wanted to create a game in which a player could tinker with that unending maze of inner microverses, logging their significant memories for an AI to analyze and then mapping their own psyche the way they had mapped digital metropolises in ‘SimCity.’ It would be called ‘Proxi: Yesterday's You Tomorrow.’ The concept was part computerized LEGO set, part RPG, part Enneagram, part transhumanist mind-uploading fantasy, part reboot of Borges and Proust for the LLM age. It would be, in some ways, Wright's most personal video game yet. Fast forward to October 2024 — after spending ten years, a million dollars of Wright's own money, and a few million from investors; after they’d already started building out the game’s universe — the game was (and still is) nowhere close to being finished. Eric Boodman spent time with Wright and his ‘Proxi’ crew to find out when — or if — one of the most celebrated video-game designers ever's next (and even wilder) act will come to life: nymag.visitlink.me/ElSdEG

What a day… so the review embargo for mewgenics lifts in 6 hours. that means 6+ years of our lives that we poured into this game will be boiled down to a number.. I’m tired, stressed and excited at the same time, and also worried about getting no sleep and being a zombie all day… wish us luck!

if you are press, we are happy to talk more about what happened and the impact the DMCA strike has had on us. i think this story needs to get out! this affects all of us. taking down a game being this easy sets a dangerous precedent. my email is on my itch

Scott Miller - Apogee/3D Realms Founder ☢️
A game industry legend died a few mins ago, Rebecca Heineman (@burgerbecky), taken away by aggressive lung cancer. She oversaw the porting of Wizordum to the Mac OS most recently for Apogee. My local friends would often have dinner with her and I loved her industry stories and humor. She will be missed. gofundme.com/f/help-rebecca…

@adc_bx Thanks for this small, beautiful, world. This inspired me a lot, and I wrote a short story inspired by my playthrough. It will come out as the new episode of my newsletter, Videoludica Obscura, which is all about writing stories inspired by the obscure videogames i like to play.

@michaelmicasso May I ask if you use some kind of specific pixel art software for works such as this one? If so, what is it? Thanks for the beautiful things you create.

VILE: Exhumed may be banned for sale, but I refuse to let that stop people from playing the game. It’s now available, for free, at VILEISBANNED.COM Please share the site, share the game, and fuck anyone who tries to control storytelling and expression.

My favourite thing from the @JamesGunn Superman? It has to be Edi Gathegi's fabulous Mr.Terrific, with that deadpan line delivery split between Samuel L. Jackson and Cristopher Walken. Great casting, as with Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner.

This July 11 marks the 10 year anniversary of Satoru Iwata's passing. I still think of him nearly every day. Together, we put a lot of smiles on people's faces.
