Wishing our American cousins a happy July 4th! Cocktails all round!

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…

Play board games and drink wine! Such dedication on the part of the MM team.

(ps - says luke - he won. yeah. right)
