Arca (EA/Maxis Project)

Arca is a project at the Entertainment Technology Center, a graduate program of Carnegie Mellon University. This project is the first collaborative project with EA/Maxis, the famous creators of Spore. In this project, a small team of students will be utilizing Maxis' newly-developed platform that is used for authoring Maxis-style simulation games. As for the objective of this project, the students team will be creating their own themed simulation game using this unique, data-driven toolset that Maxis has been building for several years, and exploring more possibilities along the way.
