Much of our recent coverage of
City of Heroes has focused on the
Mission Architect, and with good reason.
Issue 14 brings player-created content into the superhero MMO, placing the tools the developers have used to create missions in the hands of the players. Essentially, players can create their own playable content and tailor these missions to their liking, right down to the characters and the story itself. In some respects, it takes the UI of the character creation tool and applies it to the creation of actual game content.
We had a good look at the potential for user-generated content with the
Mission Architect at GDC 2009, while it was still in beta testing. Mission Architect is clearly ready for primetime though;
NCsoft has announced that
Issue 14: Architect is now live, giving
City of Heroes players more control over their gameplay than ever before. The
Issue 14: Architect release notes are up and detail the many features the update brings to
City of Heroes and
City of Villains.
