GDC: LittleBigPlanet Only Half Finished!

Media Molecule wants more accessible level editor

Posted by Staff
Media Molecule, the developer behind LittleBigPlanet, has said that its flagship PS3 game is still only half done.

"We still feel like we're halfway through the development of LittleBigPlanet, to be honest", said Mark Healey, creative director of Media Molecule in a Game Developers Conference session.

Alex Evans, co-founder of Media Molecule, said the studio is still in active development on the game, with focus being put on making the content creation side of the game more accessible.

"We want LittleBigPlanet to be something that enables people to make games, not platform game levels", Healey said. He noted that he knew the team was on the right track when he got a version of Tetris up and running in LBP.

Evans was deprecating about the number of players who are actually able to make good use of the level editor. "One of the things we have to do is taking that 0.1 per cent audience that can create things in LittleBigPlanet, and bring that to a wider audience - and that's what we want to do next", he said.

A PSP version of LittleBigPlanet is scheduled to join its big brother later this year. See SPOnG's review of the PS3 version here.
