During the highly technical SimCity engine talk today at GDC 2012, a trio of Maxis creative leads went into more depth on next year's simulation. Specifically with regards to online play, the game will feature cloud saving which will work continuously in the background as you play online.
While only PC support has been announced, Maxis said the game has been built to support a “play anywhere” philosophy, and mentioned browser-based play.
Gamasutra reports Maxis gave a detailed explanation of its new Glassbox engine, in which it mentioned the tech has been devised with an eye for supporting all future games.
Although Maxis has nothing to announce at present, it said Glassbox could handle titles like SimTower and SimCopter.
SimCity was announced yesterday at an external GDC event focused on games as social change agents.
