Picked this up at Kotaku - seems pretty neat, but it might be a little to basic for many users here.

From the site:

Atmosphir is a free video game / creation tool for Mac & PC. Design mode lets you create enormous 3D platforming levels filled with fun gameplay elements like power-ups and fireballs, while Play mode lets you explore through the thousands of diverse user-created challenges being uploaded every day.

Ultimately I think customisability of the assets and at least basic drag-and-drop coding will make this app more awesome than anything we've had for a while, but time will tell. Head on over to the official site (http://www.atmosphir.com/) for a video of gameplay and the editor in action. Just bear in mind it's still in beta, likely to be released (for free!) by the end of the year.

It looks sweet! I've signed up, hoping to get a chance on the beta testing. Hope that they give it more functionality and flexibility than "power-ups and and fireballs", like some sort of scripting and stuff allowing for more complex projects.

For those who knew me from far back when, I'm thinking in the lines of Embarkment 3D! :)
