    How many of you guys would use this feature if implemented in a game? Choose a photo from your photo library and use it for an enemy/character? Such as the one in Spore.

    For me, it would completely depend on how well it works. Are we talking about 2D characters or wrapping it around a 3D model? Can we resize and rotate the photo when we select it? Would there be a loss in image quality?

    2D characters. Resize and rotate - definitely. Loss in image quality wouldn't really be our decision, but we wouldn't reduce the quality purposely.

    I suppose it would also depend on the game, but I'm sure you don't want to give too much away yet ;)

    In most cases, yeah, I think it would be fun. Especially if the enemy/character variety was good enough for us to do something like Sketch Nation where we could draw enemy designs, take a photo then use it in the game.
