Browser kingdom sim Illyriad is putting more power in the hands of the players, as the devs have released an API that will allow its community to create its own content.
“We set out to make a game that lets players do what they want, and now we can say that our game Illyriad truly allows players the freedom to play as they see fit,” the team posted. “With the release of the combat API key, players can share combat information with others, which in turn allows the creation of player tournaments and contests that are hosted by anyone who wants to make one.”
The team pointed out three examples of player-created content in action: A couple of players created a tournament to promote a charity, a guy made an in-game investment bank, while another gamer whipped up a player notification system for mobile devices.
