User-Generated Surprises

Posted by dustinw on September 3rd, 2008 comments 1 Comment

One of the greatest things about enabling communities with technology is watching how they use it. Even better is watching them use it in ways you never expected.

Much like Wetpaint, the creators of the soon-to-be-released Spore game experienced rapid adoption and unimaginable creative uses of their Spore Creature Creator technology.  And what better way to highlight the creative uses of a game focused on user-generated content and community than on a Wetpaint wiki:

On August 27th, a flood of traffic from Digg quickly highlighted a fun page on Spore Illustrated that displays over 50 creative and unexpected uses of Spore. From E.T. to Hello Kitty, Spore developers had no idea it was even possible to recreate objects in real-life using their Pixar-like creature creator. Here are some examples, including a Wetpaint logo creation:

In celebration of User Generated Surprises and a game industry changer like Spore, Wetpaint will be giving away a free copy of Spore which releases on September 7th in this easy Spore contest.
