Prima Games visits The Sims 3 Creator’s Camp During the Creator’s Camp last month, a couple of people from Prima Games dropped by to see how things were shaping up with the game.* One of the authors posted their take of the event, read below for a sample: But recently, I had the opportunity last month to visit Electronic Arts Redwood Shores (EARS for short) and actually see some masters in action.* First, if you’ve never had a chance to see the EA campus, it’s amazing (and huge-bigger than my own university actually).* The campus is busy with people running back and forth between various projects and buildings, TV displays always buzzing with new titles…* Let me put it this way-they have their own Starbucks. After my initial moment of awe at the entrance, we were greeted by our friendly licensor contact, Dan, for a brief walk around.* I knew immediately from the glass window displays and plumbob lamps hanging from ceiling where I was: the Sims Floor.* The walls were lined with nicely printed publicity posters and tons of the design documents literally stapled to the walls.* Ideas for every building in the Neighborhood in every shade of color and texture you could think of until it was “perfect.” A wide array of faces in every shape and expression imaginable (and even some I thought were impossible).* The wireframes of items as they were being created and laid out for development.* The sheer diversity in clothing and styles nearly dazed me. article here
