Summary

  • Will Wright, famed creator of The Sims, has struggled to get investors to back his new game, Proxi, which is highly original and relies on AI
  • Much like The Sims, Proxi is about an everyday aspect of life - in this case, memories - and uses AI to generate gameplay
  • Despite being creator of one of the most successful gaming franchises ever, and having a proven track record of innovation, it is hard to get investors on board with a small team of 12 people that could produce a game with huge upside.
  • Wright and his company, Gallium Studios, have already developed the game but now need funds to market and promote it for launch.
  • He and Gallium’s CEO, Lauren Elliott, are currently trying to secure funding to take the game to the next stage.
