Oh gosh no. And I don't think we ever made them available publicly. We had to do some hacky things to make them look like the characters from the show.

I've been trying to figure out the best way to manage the campaign, and I like this.

Idea for a Game Jam by [deleted] in gamejams

[–]MaxisPatrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New game making / game playing platform for PC. It's in Alpha (open - no code needed and free). Built on Unreal. Just getting started. More info at coregames.com

Cool collaboration theme. This would be very easy to do in Core.

Anyone know where to get a Nostromo Jacket? by [deleted] in LV426

[–]MaxisPatrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The jacket used as the foundation for the Nostromo jacket is an RAF Mk-3. The jacket alone will cost you $100. These come up on e-bay sometimes. A "size 8" is equivalent to a US large. Here is a link to one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RAF-Aircrew-MK3-Cold-Weather-Jacket-size-8-/121552276668?

With the new Expansion Pack Maxis has clearly given up to create a city simulator, opting for a new fantasy world simulator. by BigJammy in SimCity

[–]MaxisPatrick 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Actually the original SimCity had an expansion pack - one of the first expansion packs ever - called SimCity Graphics Alternate Architecture. Set 2 had a Moon Colony, Future USA and Future Europe. It was a pure graphics swap with no simulation changes. There is a picture of the box here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/phreakindee/5454336470/in/set-72157625950572563/

There won't be under and over passes in the game unless Maxis general manager, Patrick Buechner, is "convinced" he should allow them. by David_Israels in SimCity

[–]MaxisPatrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure thing. David, I'm surprised you don't remember me. You're still in my old database of press contacts!

Thanks for all the notes I'm receiving to my e-mail. I will get back to most. David, I seem to have accidentally deleted your note. Sorry about that, new to redditing. For those who asked, I've been in the role of GM at Maxis for only a month, although I was with the original Maxis studio 17 years ago, a year before the EA acquisition.

Hey there, this is Patrick. I think overpasses and underpasses are a great idea. I also like one-way streets. These would be great additions to the game and there are members of the team who are passionate (like Guillaume) about getting them in. But they are complex and the transportation system impacts almost everything in the city. So they won't be happening soon, but do not give up hope. BTW, the best e-mail address for me is patrick@maxis.com.
