Drawn to Life is one of the interesting new titles coming to the DS this fall. The game was announced by developer 5th Cell last year but details were scarce. All we knew then was the game involved drawing. That was enough to raise some eyebrows and peek interests.
5th Cell has generously decided to let the cat or in this case, sketch out of the bag. In Drawn to Life, players help save a distant village from evil darkness. Pretty standard RPG stuff until it was revealed you draw your hero. In fact, you draw damn near everything in the game.
Using your stylus and an assortment of brushes and colors, you have the ability to design your hero any way you want. You even draw the weapons, items and tools your hero will use, but WAIT! That's not all. You also draw the animals that inhabit this world!
The game will also allow players to exchange their "drawings" via Wi-Fi which will insure the game's success. User created content in a video game could be one of the next big things in gaming. I'm just waiting to see what all the freaks out there create; rabbits with hooves or maybe something even worse. One can only imagine, then again - that's the point of the game isn't it? We'll all find out September 28 when Drawn to Life is released.

This sounds absolutely brilliant!
I wonder how the drawing will work as the game looks gorgeous and I can just imagine lots of people having tiny stick men running around clobbering people with... um... sticks.
This is going on my "to buy" list
Second life has this kind of video created content, seems like it caught on quick, this games looks like a nice ds version, and will be much easier for us that lack c++ and maya skills. :D wishlisted
OK... Now I'm gonna buy a DS. I can't wait to transfer some of my dark spirit to the game

That sounds amazing. DS is a great platform for that sort of thing. I'm guessing that you are really drawing from a premade texture bank so that your creations turn out looking great and it would be sort of like "vector graphics" because you kcould edit them and it will mae handing over from gamer to gamer much easier.
Man, we're going the long way at this sort of thing. We've got a p2p 3D platform that's going to take on the likes of Second Life and we've got a team working on a game idea along this kind of line but in 3D to demo what you can do with our platform (www.vastpark.com). But I'd love to be making that little game: cute and much easier. Like one guy said: you don't need to know maya to create your own creatures.
Don't worry - 3D is going to be as easy to create as editing videos or making electronic music has become... then everyone can create and share their own game worlds - just like people do with YouTube videos.
