Open Source comes online
It's not clear to me whether this is a sign of the times in the gaming industry, or just an improbable alignment of the stars... but there have been an awful lot of instances recently of people wanting to help gaming companies realize what gamers want to see. The Online Universe is a site devoted to this topic - we've mentioned it a few times recently. There have been several threads on our forum (and others) devoted to features folks would like to see - here's a big one. Well, now there's a new player on the scene - Open Source. This is a site aimed at giving fans a voice - you can submit ideas for new games, ideas for how features in existing (or upcoming) games should work, concepts for new features, and so on... as well as the standard fan-created submissions - artwork, stories, and the like. Check it out - it's pretty hard to explain in a paragraph; you need to explore the site to see what's available and what can be done. Without fan input, the site is nothing - with fan input, the sky's the limit. (Louis Wu 01:34:37 UTC)
