Hey all! I've been attending this GDC session for many years and for the last few years, I've been curating the selections and mentoring the selected devs. I'd love to see what y'all can bring to it.

Hey! I love telling rambly Sims dev stories, so I'm doing an AMA on The Sims 3 (and Sims 2 and a bit of Sims 4 I suppose).

Come hang out and chat Sunday May 11th @11am PDT!

Hey all! Have an inside look at one of the abstract (and entirely too silly) prototypes created during the first "Senseless Prototyping Monday" early in the development of The Sims 3.
