Talking With Will

The NY Times has posted a huge 5-page article with interviews with the Spore team, including Will Wright which is the main character talked about. Though long it’s a very well-written piece of excellence presented with lots of interesting tid-bits along with a few things surfacing related to Spore.

An entire planet in Spore — teeming with plants, weather and creatures — takes up about 80K of memory. By comparison, a typical song on your iPod is about 50 times larger. You could download an entire galaxy of Spore planets before you could download all the tracks on “Dark Side of the Moon.”
