As reported earlier (refer to AI 59 covering Sim Ops Studios) another company has emerged in the new market of User Generated Software for Virtual World Games.
Atmosphir is a platform that people can use to create casual games.
There’s a growing trend towards incorporating user-generated content into games, let letting users design levels, but Atmosphir’s big selling point is that its tools are really simple — basically blocks that you place in a grid.
At the same time, ti’s also incredibly open-ended; eventually, users should be able to create any kind of game they want in just a few minutes, especially as Atmosphir rolls out more theme packs.
“What happens if you take the zombie apocalypse theme pack and mix it with the 8-bit old-school pixilated them pack?” the company asks.
The platform is currently in beta testing on Macs and PCs, but Atmosphir plans to add support for videogame consoles too.
