UGC

UGC stands for 'user generated content' and this is where players can actually create their own content to be involved in the game, this is kind of like modding the game but the content will already be in the game, the player just needs to have their own imagination to make their content suitable to them. An example of UGC is in a game like little big planet for the PlayStation 3, in this game there is an option to create your own level where the player starts from scratch and completely starts the new level, using tools in the game and certain objects. One advantage of using UGC in your game is the idea that it even gives the developers ideas for things to involve in the next game as they will be spoilt for choice for ideas. Another advantage is that the game can never really get boring as the players can just keep creating new missions of their own and it will be exactly what they want.
