The concept for SimCity was inspired by how much fun Wright had playing around with the map design tool for Raid on Bungeling Bay. The design of SimCity was inspired by Wright's research on urban planning and system dynamics during its development.
- hinkley 6y agoI think I am using a different definition of "inspired" than the author. Your inspiration for the love song you just wrote is the special someone you have your eye on. The lyrics are informed by every other case of New Relationship Energy you have ever had, with bits borrowed from friends, books, and movies. Was Will really studying urban planning for giggles, put 2 and 2 together and got 5? Or was he working on a hunch about a city planning game and what he found cemented his hunch?
