Is anyone else interested in some sort of Spore meets Harvest Moon hybrid? If you are, the future might very well be a rosy place, indeed, because Harvest Moon creator Yasuhiro Wada dreams of making a game similar to Will Wright's creation sim. He recently told Gamasutra, "Eventually, I'd like to make something like Spore, where you create something, and from there, new stuff is going to be created again and again and again ... But you want to be one of the people living in the city, and to be a part of this growing too."
Wada also said that King's Story (which was his concept) was originally supposed to be more like Spore than what it turned into. We like how King's Story is shaping up, so we're not really bothered that it deviated from its original idea, but it still would be nice to see Wada's true vision ultimately realized. Hopefully we'll one day see this Spore-like game that he wishes to make.

I love the HM series, but I'm not too sure how any game could really compare to Spore-awesomeness (even the anticipation, which is all we've got for now). So many of us have been waiting on Spore for a really long time... that I would think it could take years for games like it to come. Except maybe that Spore is paving the way; in the long-run, making it easier for future games(?)
Thanks to the link, I got to check out King Story for the first time, and my-oh-my does it look like a lot of FUN!
