Drawn to Life

Drawn to Life is an adventure platform game where players can create their own unique object by drawing it through the Nintendo Ds. This meant that the player would be able to take more control over their own experience and would be able to develop a sense of attachment to their creations. Although the gameplay itself received fairly mixed reviews, the idea of unique user based creation presents us with a different way of understanding player engagement.

Scribblenauts

Scribblenauts is a puzzle game that allows players to use their imagination to resolve ingame problems by creating objects that players would be able to use to interact with the game environment. Players would have the freedom to input any word they can think of and have that object spawn into the environment. The objects and environment in the game was given a certain amount of artificial intelligence behaviour which could result in unique experiences. This allowed for players and developers to further understand how the objects in an environment could relate and change if given room to grow on their own.
