The Cubs, last season’s World Series winners, went down to the St Louis Cardinals 4-3 on Sunday. But not before late drama as Willson Contreras blasted a game-tying three-run homer in the top of the ninth inning.

The answer, as it turns out, falls somewhere between the ironic and the entirely fitting. Spore’s various interfaces, like its plethora of creatures, needed to evolve—far more than Wright had initially anticipated—in order for the game to engage a mass audience. “The biggest design challenge was keeping it very accessible to players so that every bit of the game was intuitive, easy and approachable,” says Wright. At the same time, Wright’s team was mashing up different types of games—as players move up the evolutionary ladder, the gameplay mutates as well, mimicking the classics Pac-Man, Diablo, SimCity and Civilization—and the designers needed to find a way to keep the game controls, camera angles and rewards consistent....
