GDC09: Relics of LittleBigPlanet

Last Updated on Thursday, 26 March 2009 10:14 Written by ProClub Thursday, 26 March 2009 10:05

It may be a little hard to make out, but what you see there is concept art for different versions of the whole sack family that Media Molecule said was originally supposed to accompany our beloved Sack Boy. The company’s talk at GDC was full of similar revelations from the development of LittleBigPlanet and you can find a couple more just after the break.

For instance, did you know that before the Pop-it, items were managed through a traditional inventory screen? It apparently took a few iterations before the team settled on an inventory that the player always carries with them.

Oh, and were you aware that the game once had bosses like this massive mechanical dinosaur?

It’s true!

We listened to your feedback – it’s back, it’s longer (but at what cost?!) and it has more LittleBigPlanet in its dank innards.

Podcast No.2 features Media Molecule co-founder and creative director Mark Healey, with discussions on our BAFTA success, LBP design decisions and some of our recent favourite community levels (with an embarrassing lack of level and creator names – sorry, we’ll be more organised next time!).

Enjoy!

Check out the first EVERRRR podcast from the gang at Media Molecule. This recording was done several weeks ago but due to the VERY busy life of Kenny, it got pushed back. Congrats on the engagement Kenny! Woooo!
