GDC 09: LittleBigPlanet is only halfway through, says Media Molecule

LittleBigPlanet is no longer little by any accounts, not with so many gamers constantly churning out new creations everyday. Media Molecule isn’t finished with the title just yet though. At a panel interview during GDC, they remark that the game feels only “halfway through” and that they still have lots of things planned for it.

LittleBigPlanet is no longer little by any accounts, not with so many gamers constantly churning out new creations everyday. Media Molecule isn’t finished with the title just yet though. At a panel interview during GDC, they remark that the game feels only “halfway through” and that they still have lots of things planned for it.

Says MM’s Mark Healey:

I claim that LittleBigPlanet is potentially a game creation package […] We still feel like we’re halfway through the development of LittleBigPlanet, to be honest. […] .We want LittleBigPlanet to be something that enables people to make games, not platform game levels.

This is something we’ve seen a bit happen in LittleBigPlanet, if you remember the Gradius and Tetris levels. And from Alex Evans:

[The content creation is] the least finished part of the game, which both excites and terrifies me…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.

Evans also mentions that they have a new feature that will “become a key part of the game.” He didn’t say when this feature will be released though.
