Channel 4 has announced that they are working on a new online show SuperMes that is built using The Sims 3. The machinima show produced by Somethin’ Else will be designed to teach life lessons to teenagers.
“It’s no surprise a game like The Sims 3 can be put to such creative use, but we are still incredibly excited by this truly novel use of our world-beating technology,” said Claire Ridley, U.K. business lead for the Sims.
“This is one of the most exciting projects we have made yet and points to the future of interactive storytelling,” added Somethin’ Else CCO Paul Bennun. “It’s incredibly moving and funny at times, and a true collaboration between humans and robots. We have become very attached to them. We are delighted to be able to work with Channel 4 Education to make it real.”
