Atmosphir revealed; easy-to-use PC-Mac game/editor
With all of the raves about Spore's easy to use tools to make characters and structures, it's ironic that the week of Spore's release yet another game announcement involves its own simple-to-use creation tools. The game and editor is called Atmosphir, developed by San Fransisco based Minor Studios and was revealed as part of the TechCrunch 50 conference today.
The game itself looks like Super Mario 64; it has the same kind of low end graphics and platform based gameplay. However, as the above intro trailer shows, it's really the level creation tools that are the star of Atmosphir with drag-and-drop tools that make creating levels look as much fun as playing the game, if not more so. Levels created in the game can be shared online with others. Atmosphir is scheduled to be released as a free download in late 2008 and Minor Studios is currently signing up beta testers.
