...game, four years in the making, is set in beautiful Sunset Valley, a town that has 67 simulated human residents. They are fascinatingly complex and have lives of their own; you can follow them around or spy on them in their homes. All the residents age at the same rate as your character (a rate you can change to speed up the game). You can fall in love with the girl next door and marry her 10 years later. In previous versions, characters' ages were frozen in time unless you were interacting with them...
Steves first went to Europe in 1969 at age 14 with his mom and dad, a Seattle-area importer of pianos who made trips to Germany and Austria to survey various makes and models.

"Human history has often been a record of nations and tribes subjugating one another to serve their own interests," he said. "Yet in this new age, such attitudes are self-defeating. Given our interdependence, any world order that elevates one nation or group of people over another will inevitably fail...
...This is a difficult responsibility to embrace. For human history has often been a record of nations and tribes subjugating one another to serve their own interests. Yet in this new age, such attitudes are self-defeating. Given our interdependence, any world order that elevates one nation or group of people over another will inevitably fail. So whatever we think of the past, we must not be prisoners of it. Our problems must be dealt with through partnership; progress must be shared...
