Project Spark Discussion Thread

[Undead]

So I stumbled upon a game in development the other day that seems to have slipped under my radar for quite a while. It is called "Project Spark" and is to be released on Windows 8 Platforms, Xbox One and Xbox 360. The principal of the game is that you can make anything you want, from a tower defense, to an rpg, to an fps, all the way to a sidescroller.

 

I have been watching some of the archived live streams and seen the devs discussing worlds of 5x5km sizes, custom motion capture and voice acting, as well as stories as long as Skyrim.

 

I'm really excited for this game, and although I honestly didn't care about Kinect before now, it makes me happy that a developer is doing such good things with it so soon.

 

I posted this here because I will be getting it on PC first most likely, but the Xbox One version is appealing as I feel that it will be supported more and have more features enable (at least until Kinect 2.0 comes for the PC).

 

So what is your guys' thoughts on the game? Does it look good/bad? Any ideas on what you'd build? It'd be great to see a LTT build team on either PC or XB1 to build worlds, minigames and full blown story games to be shared on these forums and with people from the rest of the world!

I saw something about this a few months ago and it looks fairly interesting. The windows 8 thing is a bit annoying though.

I wouldn't mind it, it's like a more grown up spore.

Yeah sadly it's a Microsoft Studios funded game so it's really pushing for Win8, but if it wasn't MS Studios it wouldn't be funded enough!

I've only played Spore for DS so I don't really know, but it seems like Spark gives infinite possibilties.
