While this game has depictions of librarians working, this is by no means an accurate depiction of the huge amount of work librarians do. We are first-quarter library students, making a project to analyze and identify researched scenarios around non-traditional media formats. We mean no offense by our pure imagining (or maybe more kindly put, playful speculating) of how library collections operate in the real world. We're VERY new at this! :D Stardew Valley for Libraries As Phil Salvador explains: "For [Will] Wright, [lead game designer on many games at Maxis, including the original SimCity], games were a way of helping people create “mental models” for understanding parts of the world. The team at Maxis would research a topic like urban dynamics* – or something like ant colony behavior, in the case of another game they made called SimAnt – and create a game where players could experiment with those ideas. The goal wasn’t to teach anything directly, but rather to help the player get the model of SimCity in their head, so that playing this game could help them understand how the different systems within a city interact. For many people though, that nuance was lost, and instead they treated it like Maxis could build accurate simulations of the real world."
