Welcome to The Next Generation!  I started this blog to outline my idea for the future of the city-simulation genre: A community-funded and community-directed but professionally developed open source game.  It's a long read, but the best place to start is with my first post (in two parts), where I laid out the general outline of my idea:

The Open Source Future: How we can finally get the game we want.

Your comments, criticisms, and input are welcome!  Happy reading!
