Boku: The Xbox 360’s LittleBigPlanet Hitting 2009
At Microsoft’s Professional Developers Conference in LA this week, they unveiled Boku, their upcoming PC and Xbox 360-based game creation utility created with XNA.
The tool reminds us of LittleBigPlanet since it takes Microsoft’s complicated XNA and simplified it so even kids could create games, just as LittleBigPlanet does.
Boku is compatible with both the PC and Xbox 360, but no information was given on how it will be delivered. Sources of Gamasutra have stated that it is planned to be released on the Xbox 360 sometime in 2009, though.
The tool does look very interesting, and the blocky Lego-like look is very attractive to the eye (mine at least).
