An LBP session has been added to this year’s Game Developer’s Conference in San Fransisco. Entitled Media Molecule: ‘Winging It’ - Ups, Downs, Mistakes, Successes in the Making of LittleBigPlanet, the session will be delivered by Mm studio founders Mark Healy and Alex Evans.
Mark Healey and Alex Evans will discuss the processes behind the making of a game designed to bring creativity to the masses. MediaMolecule was founded around the concept of ‘creative gaming’, and LittleBigPlanet (LBP) is their first take on this very broad idea. They’ll discuss the choices, as well as routes they rejected, in the effort to make game creation fun.
The talk will also include some examples of the surprising ways that small creative building blocks, whether delivered as DLC, or user created, can be combined to create a wide variety of games. It’s these building-block extensions that will hopefully keep the future of LBP as fresh as its past.
Interesting stuff, surely a must for you developers out there, in between coffee and keynotes.
