The New World, because I like the phrase.

I made another game called Train.

It's the same thing.
这和之前的游戏是类似的。
I'm hoping that I'll teach culture through these games.

And the one I'm working on right now, which is because I'm right in the middle of it, and these for some reason choke me up like crazy,is a game called Mexican Kitchen Workers.
而我现在正在着手设计的游戏是因为我正在全心投入，所以想到它很容易使我情绪波动，这个游戏叫做《墨西哥厨房工人》。
