Wright to announce new projects in the coming “months”

willwrighta

Will Wright’s told Gamespot that the first Stupid Fun Club projects are to be announced in the coming months.

The designer confirmed he’s leaving EA to start the company yesterday. The firm’s described as n “entertainment think tank”.

“I think it’ll be a few months away,” Wright said on the subject of announcements.

“It’s going to depend on how things develop from here, but we’ve got several projects in the works right now and it’s just not clear when they’ll be announced. That’s my best guess yet.”

It’s highly likely we’re going to see more open-ended simulators from Wright. He told Kotaku last night that there’s going to be “an almost unbroken lineage” between his work at Stupid Fun Club and his previous Maxis games.

The Slims – a social simulation where you take control of a household full of anorexic teenagers and must finely balance their food intake and throwing up ratio while still leaving time for reading Heat and going on Facebook.
