USER GENERATED CONTENT MEETS GAMING
Blast Works: Build, Trade, Destroy from Joystiq.com on Vimeo.
A soon to be released game for the Nintendo Wii called Blast Works: Build, Trade, Destory is a side scrolling shooter with a great UGC element to it. You will have the ability to create your own character, enemies, shooting patterns, and levels – all of which you can post to the game’s website for download by any Wii owner.
User generated content for games is nothing new, however we are really starting to see a trend where games are becoming specifically designed to allow for all sorts of customisation and online communities to facilitate sharing of the assets they develop.
