A quick Podcast this week, with Alice, Spaff and Costa celebrating all the elevens, and our eleventh podcast. What a crazy coincidence, clearly fate is toying with us. We talk about the latest DLC costumes for LittleBigPlanet, along with some of the forthcoming releases, and how much Costa loves Final Fantasy.

We cover off some recent LBP happenings, before ploughing straight into our recent internal Game Jam, a week of creativity where we all worked on strange and interesting side projects instead of our normal ones. If you want to hear about Alex's plans to make a 20 player split screen game, Kenny's song-a-day challenge, and what happens when you entrust a big bag of clay to a load of game developers, then this podcast is for you!

Look over here everyone! - it’s the Media Moelcule Podcast number eight!  Recorded a little earlier this month, Kenny, Spaff, Martin and John gather to talk about the LittleBigPlanet 2 Move pack, a DLC pack heading your way this September! We also talk about the recent LBP meetup in Missouri, and John’s crazy mission to kayak around the UK.

To find out more about the Move Pack head on over to LittleBigPlanet.com - we just updated it with all the Move Pack contents you could possibly dream of.
Well, actually I take that back: you guys are pretty imaginative, you could probably dream up some pretty rockin’ content. But if you want to know more about the pack, it’s still the best place to be lookin’!

We discuss generalities of art in games, games as art, how Mm works as a studio, how you can only be as mad as how serious you are, and Kareem sneaks in his obligatory Beatles Analogy. After the podcast Kareem attended his art class, where he painted this picture... we include it here as a great example of Kareem's personal interests, influences and non Mm work. There's plenty more Sphinx magic for those who are interested, just visit Kareem's website - http://www.kareemettouney.com Oooooh!

We’ve only gone and fulfilled our new years resolution by recording another podcast this year!

As referenced in the podcast, Jim has recently uploaded a presentation of his concepts for the UI to Flickr. They should provide you with a more in depth glimpse into the creation of the new UI in LBP2.

Additionally, Jim will be talking at SXSW in March, so if you are going, you should go and listen to what he has to say!

If you have any questions you’d like to ask us, or any comments for us, you can mail us at podcast@mediamolecule.com - thanks for listening, we’ll be back soon!

Yes, people: THE PODCAST IS BACK!

Our last podcast was back in November 2009 - and we decided that rather than try to do a regular podcast whilst making LittleBigPlanet 2, we’d face up to the fact that it simply wasn’t going to happen and skip the entire year altogether.

Well - new year, new resolutions and NEW PODCAST. In a new effort to bring you a regular podcast, we kick off 2011 with a brand new podcast to celebrate our brand new game, LittleBigPlanet 2 - launching this week!

Join Kenny, Michelle, Spaff and Tom as we sit down in Kenny’s audio booth to discuss what’s going on in this very exciting launch week.
