Is there any possibility to speak to one or two of you guys about “How to become a game developer”?

I really really love games. But in adition to tha fact that I love playing games, I’d love to know how they actually work and what progress it takes to build a game from the scretch.

But the problem is to get into it… You have to study and so on but who on earth can bare that?
I live in germany and if I want to study “game design” I would have to pay about 800€ a month to the university! 800€! That’s $1280!
IS THERE NO OTHER WAY???

Awesome, thanks for putting my question up there!

And Kyle, come back to PSU, we need you to teach the newbies about how awesome Killzone 2 will be. Don’t make me say “please” with a “w”.

Kyle, I never played the orginal Killzone for PS2, but I did play the demo that I got free at EB Games. What I’m saying is that if you’re going to keep anything from the original game make the way the melee system works. Every time I played that demo I thought it was so cool how realistic it was when you go up to a guy and do a melee combo that was unique with the type of weapon you use. Just thought you should know.

Hey Kyle,
Will Little Big Planet have some sort of inventory system?
I would like to create a level where you can collect bombs for some massive level destruction :-)

@ Kyle Shubel

I have noticed a few gaming sites reporting that LBP will “limit” or the customizability that user generated content will have. The problem seems to stem from fear that people will create objects in the environments that are obscene or simply copywrighted. I would ask that you PLEASE find a way to simply censor what get’s posted rather than cut back on what we can build. In other words, since we all have to click “I agree” on the licese agreement we have with any online game, then put some wording in there that says if a user posts obscene content, that it will be taken down. Repeat offenders can simply lose the ability to upload their content.
What can you tell us about this “limiting” we are hearing about to make us feel better? LBP is FAR too innovative of an experience to allow this to happen. Thank you! :)

I must say, that this series of developer questionaires is really a great way to bring the gamers in tune with the developers and can really bring together a sense of community.
Keep it up!

I love these interviews! I like getting to hear what the people who make the games love most about games… It’s just cool! :)

@Travis,
I find it hilarious when you comment on other dev’s posts! haha nice work. Really though, it does show a deeper level of community and makes us feel like we’re at Sony or something in some weird way. Keep it up!

@Kyle Shubel
“LBP has both online multiplayer and offline multiplayer of up to 4 players on 1-4 PS3’s.”

Can I play 1 player across 4 PS3’s? haha jk, thanks for all the responses here!
