You may have stayed up a bit late last weekend – but not like 150 or so students at Parsons The New School for Design did. That’s how many talented/lucky/dedicated people participated in the 24-hour LittleBigPlanet GameJam.
The goal: produce the best level in that short amount of time.
The results: awesome enough to surprise even the Media Molecule representatives who were on-hand to help judge the results.
I spoke with MM’s Kareem Ettouney and Kenny Young shortly after the presentations. Pay close attention to their excitement – if levels this good can be made in 24 hours, imagine what you gamers will do in a week.
We’ll have the winners (Team Good Sportsmanship) back on the blog soon to share their LittleBigExperience, and best of all – you’ll be able to play all these levels once the game hits stores October 21.
Even if they only had a 24 hours to make it, it’s still not fair to pit us against them, since they are 150 people and I am but one.
Still, that’s pretty cool and I’m most definitely looking forward to this! Hopefully, this is just the beginning of Media Molecule’s support of the PS3. :D
Well, they did this in groups of 3-7 or so. So get a couple of friends over and you\’ll level the playing field :-)
