With a company birthday at hand, it was a perfect time to give our website a little makeover, and put it back together after some rather annoying spamhaxors destroyed it recently.
We’ve filled it up with some new bits and bobs that we hope you enjoy, the most poignant one today being the history section, which at the moment contains the first part of the Mm story, as told by mister Alex Evans.
Media Molecule was founded four years ago! Okay, okay so it was a few weeks ago now, but we waited for the new site to be ready, shh! We celebrated by piling into a local Italian eatery and plying ourselves with all manner of treats, meats, sweets and booze.
Each year at the end of February, people gather to watch the groundhog emerge from his burrow. They say that if the little guy sees his own shadow, he will retreat back inside, and the winter will continue for another six weeks. If he does not see it however, there will be an early spring.
The forums will be closed down and be relocated to http://forum.areyoupro.net/littlebigplanetnation pretty soon. Why? It’s to build a community and network in one location. Rather than having to signup for the LBPN Forum, MNRWorld Forum & finally the aYp Forum. All you need is ONE. Have access to LBPN, MNRW & aYp Forums without having to use multiple logins for a forum. What is aYp? The Network that does a little bit of everything ! Come check out the new site and forums & hope you stick around !
Yes, LittleBIGPlanet in 3D ! Eurogamer has seen with their own eyes of Sony revealing LittleBIGPlanet 3D over at Evolution Studios, makers of the off road series, Motorstorm. Why 3D is good? Anyone who has played LittleBIGPlanet knows that with the current situation of gameplay, it lead to a lot of missed jumps & death ! Rich Leadbetter of Eurogamer had this to say about stereoscopic 3D:
Here at Mm, we make the server software that lets the LittleBigPlanet community play, create and share. We provide scoreboards, ratings, favourites, tags, publishing services and search indices to millions of players (tens of thousands concurrent) and millions of levels. We often serve tens of millions of HTTP requests and over a terabyte of traffic in a day.
We need someone who knows what it takes to make big services like this go fast — reliably.
From Everyone that is down with LBPNATION & the various LBPN Networks/Affiliates, Merry Christmas ! We hope you are spending time with the people you love & of course…. SackBoy!!
Weigh Anchors and hoist the mainsail, we’re setting sail for the Caribbean. Rumours say that the fearsome Davy Jones and his mighty Kraken have come to LittleBigPlanet to wreak havoc and claim some sack folk to serve as Davy’s Crew. Once again, it’s going to fall to Sackboy to locate the only ship on LittleBigPlanet that has any chance of sending him back to the bottom of the sea.
Sometime later today the site will be down. Why? We’re moving to a new server for more room and speed. Keep checking back throughout today and the weekend to know when we are back.
*** While moving to a new host, it may take from 30 minutes to 24 + hours to Propagate. Meaning you won’t see anything until this finishes ***
New things are coming to LBPN, just wait and see !
