Lest you think the Playstation Personal (PSP) will be remixed into a platform for everything other than gaming, an Adventure Player Studio game developer kit will allow PSP fans to create and play their own adventure games. Gamespot reports:
Details on the development kit haven’t been released yet, so the level of customization is currently unknown. However, provided they have the programming skills, it seems that Adventure Player will let gamers make a full game. For those unfamiliar with the ins and outs of game development, simple games can be crafted using images downloaded or shot with a digital camera.
How long before Frotz–the portable Z-Machine engine powering popular Infocom text adventures of the early 80s–is ported to the PSP? I’d throw my $1 into the pool for under a month after the PSP USB keyboard ships.
