YouTube finds its way into Spore

Posted by Eric Mauskopf, Sales Engineer, YouTube Partnerships

It's no secret that YouTube has embraced user generated video since its inception. Armed with a video camera and an Internet connection, anyone is able to contribute. We're seeing more and more videogames starting to incorporate user generated content into the gaming experience -- so we often ask ourselves, why not similarly empower gamers to share their experiences with each other?

Enter Spore, the much anticipated game from Electronic Arts and Maxis, which lets players create their own alien creatures, import their creations into the game world, and upload video of their creatures' moves directly to YouTube from within the game. Additionally, all of the YouTube community can enjoy: Spore's own YouTube Channel, which will showcase the most popular videos of creatures fans and gamers create.

The creature creator is core to the Spore game experience, and seamlessly integrates with YouTube. It will be released within the commercial game and as a standalone free download for PCs prior to the game's launch. We anticipate that millions of creatures will be created, many of which will be cropping up on YouTube.

Spore's integration with YouTube was made possible using the latest release of the YouTube Data API, which is now publicly available and open to all developers. Here's a glimpse of what you can create:
