Project Spark Release Date News: Xbox One Beta Now Live; Team Dakota Encourages Kinect Voice Commands (TRAILER)

Project Spark's open beta has gone live today announced the game's developer Team Dakota today.

Polygon reported the game beta can be directly downloaded from the Xbox One store. For Window's PC users, the game is still locked.

In the beta users are able to test out the Kinect voice commands and also use Microsoft's SmartGlass for additional commands.

Project Spark allows gamers to create their own RPG's, and will pretty much give them free reign to design as they see fit.

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 giving 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
