The Sims today announced that TheSimsCarnival.com is now in Open Beta and available online with added content, features and new game creation options.
This games destination website has hundreds of games of all kinds and creators are adding more every day. There is bound to be a game that you love -- and if not, you can make it! Since its inception in February, 2008, TheSimsCarnival.com has built an active online community where nearly 1 in 4 visitors during Closed Beta have created and published their own games. The tools provided at the site empower players to become game creators at any programming skill level, from novice to Flash developers.
Three tools -- The Wizard, The Swapper and The Game Creator -- are your assistants in game design. The Wizard leads you through the process of creating a game step-by-step with intuitive and fun options. The Swapper let's you customize existing games - or newly made games from The Wizard - with your own selection of images, so personalizing a game is at your fingertips. With The Game Creator, and it's easy to use library of images, animations and sounds, everyone can create cool games.
You can also upload games created in Adobe Flash that can be viewed, played and shared with TheSimsCarnival.com community. Flash developers will be able to retain branding and links back to their developer site, providing another way to get exposure and traffic for their games.
At TheSimsCarnival.com, you create playlists of your favorite games so you can stitch together all your favorite games into one experience, send a game by email or embed a game on social networking sites or on your personal blog.
