Project Spark looks perfect for Rift support

Have you guys seen this project Spark from Microsoft? It's a little bit Minecraft, a little MakeVR, and seems pretty awesome.

It's annouced for the Xbox One and also PC
Seems like a great candidate for Rift support. There could be a whole rift sub community where people only make demos for VR.

    Agreed on this. It seems to come jam-packed with pre-made "things" you can place into your games and then visually script it to behave however you want. It was just billed as a way to create your imagination and then play in it. Perfect for the Rift indeed. And, if its extensible (i.e. can put together new behaviors and scripts and meshes and etc), then I would say this is (or will be shortly) a great alternative to Unity, albeit one that probably would only be able to make games for Windows 8 (and Windows Phones and Xbox).

    The only question is, will Microsoft include Rift support as a camera view?

    Anyway, supposedly they are asking for beta participants here: http://www.joinprojectspark.com

    Just asked a Project Spark guy, Rift-enabled camera views are not supported and no comment as to whether it will be supported, but the guy is a big fan of the Rift so at least we know they are aware of it.
