Project Spark Release Date: Beta Version News for Xbox One - How Will Players Influence Final Incarnation of the Game?

Project Spark is finally coming through on its promise for an immanent run of their sandbox game-generating beta for next gen platform Xbox One. Today will be a global release that requires players to sign up to receive an invite.

The beta was previously released for Windows 8.1 but now will be available for Xbox, bringing the development to a new level of user involvement.

The prospect of shaping your own RPG has long enticed gamers, and many are claiming that the efforts of Team Dakota on Project Spark will be the most exhaustive design your own RPG system yet.

Players will be allowed to shape almost every facet of their game's design, something previously unheard of in the genre of game generation.

The designers at Team Dakota eagerly await to see what Xbox players will be doing with the freedom inherent in the game design. Will they stick roughly with the ideas and intentions of the developers, or, as on Windows, will some players prefer to make and manipulate the system in new and unexpected ways.

Dakota is especially interested in learning what beta players do with Kinect. Players will have the option of using motion capture, animating characters, as well as bestowing on them triggered vocals. Team Dakota may even end up programming an option for gameplay via Kinect.  

"Part of the reason why we're in beta is to hear what people want to make, If everybody tells us that we need to make it so I can play my Kinect games, then that's the next thing we do," developer Sax Perrson said in an interview with Joystiq.com

Now that the beta is widely available, it's just a matter of observing what how users react, and what will come of their continued attempts to create.
