The Backrooms Podcast

Show Notes

Creativity & Imagination are what make humans, human. So, let's take some time and dive into the world of creative tools within games that the communities of these games went crazy with. The sandbox that exists within each of these games offers players the ability to express the artistic ability that exists within each of us. Forge mode in Halo, Garry's Mod from Valve, Minecraft, the Trials series, and so many more games are alive to this day due to developers embracing this artistry within their communities, rather than control it.
