Microsoft's Project Spark?

Not sure if you guys have heard of this yet, but the goal of it is to make a game that allows players to easily create their own games... Kind of a confusing idea but look: http://joinprojectspark.com

 

I wonder if you can add adult content to it.

I haven't tried it yet (need beta invite) so I can't say anything from experience.

Does anyone else here know anything about it?

I'm in the Beta.

 

I've played about an hour of it on my Windows 8 machine.

 

Its extremely childish.  Felt like SOE's "Free Realms" with nicer graphics and some moderately entertaining building tools.

 

Combat is extremely simplistic. Mouse1 / Mouse2 basic attacks.  Coins flying out of enemies after you kill them.

 

And................... Cash Shop pay walls on the building tools items that seem most fun.

 

The feeling I get from it is, is that the core concept of the game was going to be Minecraft inspired, but with a nice twist on presentation.  Then the dreaded "Suits" came in and said to the devs... "put a cash shop in and make it the main focus of the game."

Well thats disappointing to hear ... sigh

 

But wow really, you'd think they would get rid of pay walls for the beta so people can actually test the game properly. Oh well.

I didn't even calculate the cost of the things they wanted me to buy. It was some absurd coin system, and that just gets an immediate 'fuck off' response from me.

 

I don't plug my Windows 8 PC in very often, I doubt i'll play the beta again any time soon or ever.

I lost any and all hope of anything good the moment the Microsoft logo appeared on screen.

No custom content is allowed, they took that out long ago. All you can do is MAYBE use the kinect to do animations..that might also get taken out. As they want no erotic content made in spark.
