Yuzu [patched] - Skylanders Imaginators

Paper: "Skylanders Imaginators and the Role of Fan-Created Content: A Case Study of Yuzu"

Abstract

This paper examines Skylanders Imaginators' in-game creation system and its interaction with fan-created content, focusing on a case study of the fan persona/modding project "Yuzu" (a representative name for community-created characters/mods). It explores how user creativity, player-driven narratives, and modding practices extend the lifecycle of licensed toys-to-life games. The paper argues that player creativity functions as both a value-add for engagement and a site of tension with intellectual property and platform restrictions.
