tp://alttabme.com had a special opportunity to do a Podcast with developer Scott Clarke also known as "Maxis Scott" of SimCity. Our community had peaked interest in SimCity when we first heard it would have a multiplayer aspect to it. Being a "Refresh" of a game that we have all at one point or another spent many hours playing, we were extremely excited to put together some questions about the game and how it would be a good fit for a community like ALTTABME.
So here is the result of that!
Scott works heavily on the Multiplayer aspect of the game so he proved to have quite the insight to the upcoming release of SimCity. Check it out and feel free to leave comments below!
We also want to make a special thanks to Maxis and EA for allowing us to interview Scott!
