HiveMind is an upcoming real life simulation being designed by Will Wright's company of the same name.[1] Wright calls it "personal gaming", in which the player's interests affect the content of the game, saying, "Rather than craft a game like FarmVille for players to learn and play, we learn about you and your routines and incorporate that into a form of game play."[1] The game will harvest data about the players in order to create content. It would not initiate this process, but would be permitted to do so by players.[2] It has been described as "an immersive game that uses real-world information about a user to develop a unique in-game experience tailored to each player."[3]
The release date of the game has not been announced, nor have the platforms on which it will be available, although it will probably be incorporated into mobile devices.[1]
