During my daily wanderings I happened to chance an article about a company in London, Improbable, obtaining $20 M in funding. Great job guys! Congratulations.
I wanted to know more about who was Improbable and what are they working on. From my very brief introduction to their website and the brief lecture provided by their founder, Herman Narula, I can guess they are a simulation company providing content for games. I am not sure if their simulations are centered about “life” simulations such as the Simms or event simulations such as sports games, Madden, Fifa, etc. .Regardless, I think they are right track establishing what I call “Grammar Based Universes”.
It will be interesting observing how this company develops. I hope for the best for these guys and hope they start providing solutions which not only simulate life and events within the context of the Storyworld but also generate content to populate the Storyworlds based on templates and style guides provided by the world’s authors.
