  Will gives masterclasses 12 February, 2019 
  For those wondering what Will Wright is currently up to, I found this interesting page at Masterclass.com. It seems Wright is giving masterclasses on Game Design and Theory.
In 21 lessons, he teaches things like early prototyping, game mechanics and the future of game design.
Check out the page here: Masterclass.com

  Small update 4 February, 2019 
  Since this site wasn't touched for several years, some links got outdated. I checked every single page and updated all the links.
Also, I've added the old Snootysims guestbook. Though that site is gone, the guestbook was still intact so it can be used here for those who want to post a message. I plan to change it into Wright colors soon.

  Server change 29 January, 2019 
  As you can see the date, this site hasn't really been up to date much. Though this is still mostly an info site, a few updates here and there should be expected. I can't promise anything, but I hope to occasionally post something new here.
As the title says, the site has moved servers. After the termination of Snooty Sims, I moved my remaining sites to a smaller server as they are not very high traffic. I'm still debating to bring back Snootysimgames and put all the old info from the older Sims games there. Not sure about that yet.
Well to end this message; Welcome to all old and maybe new visitors to the site. Hope you like all the info about the man who brought us some of the greatest videogames ever made!
