Check out the trailer for this new DS game, by the makers of user-created-centric Drawn to Life and Locke's Quest 5th Cell. Apparently, it's a puzzle game where you right a word to get an object on the screen and/or make stuff happen. Seems like a hybrid between puzzles and text-adventuring.

IGN's interview with creative director of 5th cell (http://ds.ign.com/articles/936/936157p1.html)

holy crap that looks freaking crazy cool

So if I wrote Large Hadron Collider, this game would drop one ? Amazing..

Looks cool, but the guy in the interview kind of dodged the question about limitations. There must be limitations on the number of objects that can be summoned. I don't care how sophisticated he says the engine is.

Not to just dump on this game and idea (i'll surely want to try it), but I doubt it can touch LBPs level, since LBP just grows and grows as people create and share not just levels but objects, stickers, and other building block items that others can acquire and use.

Looks cool. The creative director said there was nothing vulgar in the game, but I clearly saw a beaver in the trailer.

First thing to try, I guess. Wonder what'll happen with black holes....

Not to mention, I wonder if you can cheat and write "starbrite" or whatever the thing you need to collect is.

It'll be amusing to see the internet threads about this. Items that do/don't work...

Well, they've been quiet about UC-content. I only meant for the comparison to be between what you can do, not how big it can get. I should hope it can't touch LBP, as DS isn't exactly in the PS3's realm of power. :lol:
