I for one am looking forward to this game. Saw clips on a BBC program 'CLICK'. You can create anything type of weird looking animal and it will become animated and have proper physicsl.

i watched the video a while ago, I remember W.W saying "procedurally generated" a lot

To be honest although I like the idea, I think its very ambitious and difficult to implement. I never get too attracted to hype, so I can't speculate about how well this will actually work and if the game will not be boring/difficult. But I like W.W's 'digital playgrounds' and 'innovative gameplay' and I am a big fan of the SimCity series - not the sims - and looking forward to trying this one.

you hit it on the head digerati. way way too ambitious.

i can't even fathom how much work that would be. writing the engine is one thing, but can you imagine having to do all that artwork and animation?? yikes.
