Heres a snippet about the game to those who dont know:
" Yasuhiro Wada's inspiration for the game came from him imagining a tool "that allows players to create a world, give it life, and observe the subsequent happenings" in a way that is reminiscent of SimEarth. However, like SimPeople, he wanted to introduce a first-person perspective, as if the gamer is watching things through the eyes of an inhabitant. However, Norikazu Yasunagano, creator of World Neverland on PSone back in 1997, has had some influence over the game and now things have expanded further than those two Sim games melded together. Now there will also be real-time action, in addition to the simulation and adventure aspects, and they are reportedly going to push the Wii to its limit.
In Project O[now named king story], the world creator view mode will be able to show numerous characters at the same time, each of them performing various duties and actions with unique AI being implemented for each.
Chatting with CVG, he's said the game will be a "single-player life-sim set in Europe". They're aiming for more than that, though: it's a god-sim of sorts, with your goal to shape the world around you...you just do it one conversation at a time.
...the player will select one person [to perform a task], and he will go off and talk to several other people, who will then start to change the world around the player.
Other tidbits include an emphasis on building up relationships with other characters in the game
No Wi-Fi or multiplayer features are planned, but the player will be able to download new content via the Wii's wireless online capabilities.
You can expect to see Project O[king story] to release some time next year under a different name. "

IMO, it sounds VERY promising. Good to hear about WC24 features.
