Famicom Dojo Podcast: User-generated Content

by Sean "TheOrange" Corse, filed in Famicom Dojo Podcast, Podcasts on Jan.13, 2012

Does allowing gamers to create their own worlds within a game make that game better, or does it just excuse the developers from having to create any content themselves? Vinnk and Sean discuss their first experiences with user-generated content (on the NES!), the wonders of the Famicom Data Recorder, and which games they thought were helped or hampered by being able to draw dongs on the sides of racecars.

Famicom Dojo
I visit more often than a HoJo
Orange and Vinnk are quite good
Esoteric info brought forth to be understood,
Hope ya’ll don’t lose your Mojo.

Yeah…I think this contribution is closer to the rubbish end of the spectrum.

I think I need to read this on the show. �Our first poem! �Can anyone do a Haiku? �Let me try:

GOTTA use that!

I’m surprised no one mentioned the recent WWE games. �Since Smackdown vs Raw 2010, you can share custom wrestlers, storylines, highlight reals, and as of WWE 12, custom arenas.

Well, seeing as how I’ve never played a wrestling game, I’m not that surprised. 😉

Ha! �Thank you for using me as a segway for this topic! I am very honored. I did it for the love of Famicom Dojo. And Vinnk, The Poster Design only took me 5-7 Mins. I’m a Freelance Graphic Designer…And when I mean Freelance, I mean poor. 🙁 However, If you guys need any designs for anything, let me know. I’ll be happy to help out in any way I can!//

Keep up the great work…//

I’m sorry it took so long, but I got your name in there as well as a link to your site from your name AND the big ol’ graphic.

Wrecking Crew. Yes, Wrecking Crew is the correct answer. You could spend hours designing some really ingenious levels. There’s actually some real strategy that could be used there….only to see it disappear at the end of your session.
Also, i believe one of the Lemmings games has a level editor. Playstation version I believe. Have to check that one a make sure.
What else? Hmmm……Well, not sure if it qualifies, but the SNES version of Sim City kept me enraptured for hours just designing cities. I used reams of graph paper as well as countless hours of school time working toward my megalopolis. Good times.

I’m not playing games at all right now. Weird how I like talking about games these days more than actually playing them. I;ve been transformed into the thing I always fear – old.

Mach Rider was also part of the Programmable Series.

Daniel hathcock

Ah. Can’t believe I forgot about Mach Rider. I guess I just didn’t play that one as much as Excitebike.
There was a song creator in one of the Guitar Hero games I believe. What did I hear the most? Mario and Zelda of course.

D’oh! Of course.

The Save and Load options in Excitebike are exactly as you describe: Nintendo simply decided not to remove them from the game before selling them outside of Japan. �The US manual for Excitebike reads:

“Note: Save and Load menu selections are not operable in this game; they have been programmed in for potential product developments.”

Which I guess means they maybe kinda sorta not really planned on potentially never releasing a tape backup unit for the NES.

Also, the Famicom Data Recorder was just a shoebox tape recorder with line-in and line-out jacks on the side. �It doesn’t use the Famicom’s expansion port directly, but rather depends on some other peripheral (such as the Family Basic keyboard, although there are others) that has corresponding line-in and line-out jacks to be plugged in to the expansion port. �I just run the two ports (via Family Basic keyboard) directly into my computer and record/play them that way. �No tapes needed, although it’s still slow! (Also, don’t use MP3 or any other lossy format for these, as the compression will more than likely render the recordings unreadable by the Famicom).

Also also, Bangai-O Spirits for the DS used an audio format to save user-generated content, just like the old days!

Yes Wrecking Crew and Mach Rider. �I don’t know why why wouldn’t come to me during the cast. �It was a weird one. �Due to schedules we had to record it in 2 parts and splice it together. �So it was either late night or early morning for us.

That’s also why my voice is suddenly more hoarse during the second part of the podcast — too early for me!

Hmmm, I wonder what a Video Game Programming console would be like; where part of the is about developing your own game.

But that just sounds crazy and unnecessary.
