Alright, we're really close to stretching the concept of gaming wafer-thin here. But we were so fascinated by this article that we had to post it. Giles Trehin is an autistic 28 year old who has spent the last 16 years designing an imaginary Antarctic city called Urville. The drawings alone are more detailed than most game worlds, and he has expended the effort to create detailed historical, geographic, economic and cultural histopries of the French science based turned city. A game world if we ever saw one. This sort of thing makes us wonder why more autistics, outside of Will Wright, aren't allowed to design games. Maybe because of the 16 year development cycle. George Broussard, take note!
