User Generated Content guidelines to be finalised over the next few weeks.
Developer Maxis has announced its stance on User Generated Content (UGC) created for its urban planning simulation game SimCity.
Posting on the official Electronic Arts (EA) forum, staff member MaxisKane announced the first draft of the UGC guidelines and invited fans to participate in the discussion.
According to the post, official members of the SimCity development team will be active in the thread for “the next few weeks” to gather feedback. A final version of the official guidelines will then be created.
The first draft of the User Generation Content guidelines outline what constitutes acceptable standards for content, including the replacement of art assets. It also states that UGC which effects multiplayer games and features are disallowed.
SimCity’s launch in March was beset by server woes, though this has not kept the game from selling more than 1.6 million copies since launch. Publisher EA recently announced an expansion titled Cities of Tomorrow, the first add-on for SimCity. Cities of Tomorrow is scheduled for release on November 12 for PC and Mac.
