'BlueStacks,' the California-based computer software company, has released the 'BlueStacks Creator Studio' and the 'BlueStacks Creator Hub.' These two tools are designed to allow regular users as well as experienced game developers to create custom content on their favorite mobile games.
The levels of modding available range from simply replacing graphical assets in the games with custom ones all the way up to completely creating one's own levels or features in a video game. On top of this, creators can upload and share their mods with one another through the Creator Hub. This opens up an infinite number of possibilities for game customization.
This is not the first time a gaming platform has created a dedicated custom creation studio, as large platforms such as Steam have a similar feature built-in. However, this is a unique release to the mobile game space, as most mobile modding had to be done by individuals and this could only be shared on discussion forums.
