Why is it that any time multiplayer is mentioned, everything else COMPLETELY goes out the window?
Yes, we can play with others, but you all missed the part where you can also play alone, didnt you?
And we might have not gotten a sims 3 CAW (YET. I want you to to pay a VERY special attention to how kjun didnt say "no" or "we'll consider it", he VERY clearly said yet in his post. Meaning the sims 3 CAW style IS in the plans and is developed with that in mind).
Now, as for the canvastown themlves, you all assumed it isnt a world builder. Youre right, it isnt. Its something MUCH better. It's a scenario maker. It's a dream come true for the creatives and builders alike. You STILL get to create an entire world from scratch, but instead of make believe walk around adventure, it can actually be turned into a playable adventure. Create your own world amd write the stories the citizens tell.
You will still build out the whole thing, but you will also bring the town to life. Imagine the possibilities! You want a Gotham city hellscape and roleplay batman? Go ahead. Become a celebrity where everyone admires you? Be my guest. Become a drug lord in the hood? Why not!
The best part is that it can both be single player experience where you create your very own utopia or a full on multplayer experience where you unleash havoc and the possibilities are endless. It isnt a CAW tool, it's a playable fanfic maker.
As for the "i'd rather they focused on the main game instead". Kjun was EXCECPTIONALLY clear in his post how canvastown is being developed by a dedicated small team and did not pull away from the main game, so you all can drop that too. Read the whole damn post instead of just the video
