the geniuses at libipl.net have discovered the discarded archive footage of sackboy interviewing kenny and seamlessy re-edited it into its rightful place. for the full scoop, visit: http://www.libipl.net/libiplblog/?p=79
it’s fantastic! and if you think it’s hard being SCOTTISH at an english game developer, just you wait till we interview THE AMERICANS in a future episode. oh lord, the chicken wings. the baseball.
(and finally… 2 more people have been filmed for devface but sackboy appears to be distracted making the game or something so the next episode will be forthcoming soon… just as soon as he can get his felty paws off the ps3 devkit for long enough…)
Meet the Molecules! In the first of what we hope will be a (regularly?) recurring series, we present to you: KENNY, or Wee Kenno as his dad calls him - audio designer extra-ordinaire and lover of bad movies….
He was interviewed by sackboy so we had to edit out the questions - the only clues are that the first one is ‘what is your name’ and the last is ‘what are you going to make first when LBP comes out?’. Without further ado, KENNY:
I’m been up to my elbows in Photoshop, putting together lots of artwork, mainly for marketing, to show how gosh-darn-exquisite our game is. After the dust settled on a rampant session of cutting up bits of cardboard, sticking, photographing and tweaking, I had a few photos left over, one featuring Silvias real knitted Sackboy (who now lives in our office with us). I thought maybe a few people out there might like this “out-take” especially if it was in high-res desktop wallpaper form. So here it is. Save it to your desktop and you can stare into Sackboys eyes everytime the world gets you down, you format the wrong hard-drive, or you realize its still not September, and LittleBigPlanet STILL isn’t on the shelves…
Sorry for the lack of updates, but we’ve been having a hectic time here at Mm Towers. Having finally sobered up after the Surrey Business Awards we’ve been slaving away pushing LittleBigPlanet toward the Alpha stage of its development cycle. Basically this means all the cool stuff we said will be in there should be playable, even if it isn’t pretty enough to release. The game seems to change every day at the moment and it is very exciting to be able to sit down and play what feels more and more like a complete experience.
One of the things that keep us sane during these stressful times is to drink maintain personal projects. Some people draw, some write music. Some people, like Victor one of our ace level designers, unwind by making even more games. Games like the awesome Blacklist:
He’s been working on it for about a year, and plans to release it on deadtoast.com soon. Check it out!
Somehow this got lost amongst all the drinking working that went on at the end of last week, but MM won the ‘creative industries award’ at the 2007/8 Surrey Business Awards! Hurrah! Many thanks to the judges who gave us this nice surprise, and the organizers of the event for what turned out to be a most enjoyable evening/night/morning It provided us with the first bit of silverware for our trophy cabinet…
