(1/4) So, after SEVENTEEN incredible years of co-birthing and building Media Molecule - I have decided it is time for me to fly the nest - set sail and chart a new course - today is my last day at MM.
To all the beautiful people that made LittleBigPlanet the haven of creativity it was, I send all the energy I can muster from my aching heart, at least it happened, and I hope that you, like I, can channel the spirit of it all into future endeavours.
Visited my old house which is unoccupied atm, took this picture of the back garden - the OG reference for the LittleBigPlanet English Country Garden backdrop!
The second trailer for "DS2" is now revealed, which I have done the editing. The official title is "DEATH STRANDING 2 ON THE BEACH". Some new characters are introduced, and there are many hints of the story and gameplay in this trailer. Watch it many times and please
Fired up the time machine today and made a little progress on LittleBigPlanet c64 project, can now grab skateboard from either side by pulling down on joystick then moving left/eight to affect momentum.

Why does Sackboy have a huge zip? Another old design from the

vaults - this was too trippy for rest of team, but the zip stayed anyway!
(4/4)…So here's to new beginnings, following one’s heart and exploring the unknown - Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum - I'm off on a Pirate adventure! (One that involves making games that is). 🏴☠️
I just found an old folder from nearly 20 years(?) ago with a bunch of concepts and experiments I was working on with

& Dave before we founded Media Molecule. I might get in all kinds of trouble for sharing this, but here goes! Hahaha.
Drop 1
(2/4) From LittleBigPlanet to Dreams and beyond - proud to have played my part and lucky to have jammed with some truly brilliant people - and such a wonderfully talented Community which I will continue to be a fan of...
(3/4)...but a strong cosmic breeze is pulling me and my pirate heart is awakened, I'm not getting any younger so am going to indulge myself in the winds of my various curiosities for a while and see where they take me...
Dreams has been the most ambitious long tough pain in the bum project I ever worked on, but the reward of seeing people use it blows all my previous projects out of the water. It’s just ridiculous how good some creators are already.
I loved the Unreal Engine 5 demonstration so I wanted to try and recreate a scene from it in

@UnrealEngine
- just want to say how blown away I am by all the kind words and encouragement for next chapter - has really helped get me fired up and itching to unleash some utter madness, can’t wait!
I scanned bit of my old back garden which was the original inspiration for LBP country gardens, I thought it came out pretty good for a phone capture.

Managed to screw my back, anything other than horizontal position is agony, so my son made me this contraption to drink tea more comfortably. What a little star!

all the best on his new adventures, Media Molecule will miss you, but I know we still got a lot of jamming ahead!
In 2008, Sony teamed up with the Japanese rock band, Beat Crusaders, to boost the promotion of LittleBigPlanet in Japan. They created commercials featuring the band and even produced a music video for their incredibly catchy song "Phantom Planet".
Ed joined MM as an audio bod, and continues to rock out sonic joy, but such a thrill seeing him embrace the Dreams toolset and blossom into a full on electronic entertainment auteur.

This dude is a one man ganes industry, the amount of entertainment he pumps out makes me feel so lazy. The latest one looks super fun, can’t wait to give it a spin.
Dreams is a dream from long ago coming true, but the Dreams Beta is making me go to bed too late each night, and affecting my ability to do my part to help get Dreams to its next releease, it’s like some weird fractal nightmare.

Patch notes here:
Nursing broken body at home, took trip in time machine again to progress LBP C64, tried fleshing out whole level based on LBP1 first level, sorry for song, cabin fever.
Me and Kareem had sone fruity creative debates in the past which inspired this poster in a stairwell at MM towers, makes me giggle (we love each other really)
New project: pool/snooker! This one’s particularly fun to develop! Everything’s live input by me interacting with my tv on my dining room table. The physics are a tad bit off though; I’m learning some new things to troubleshoot here. Anybody fancy a game?

I absolutely love Tren, such a passion project, and I have privilege of playing/testing it already - it plays as good as it looks, supreme craftsmanship running through every bit nibble and byte.

I am in awe of the talent of this team, sculpted and animated from scratch on a PlayStation console, to manifest something like this is no easy feat, whatever tools you use.
I really hope your dreams come true, whatever they may be, you utterly deserve it.

Have been surfing current EA content in VR, and laughing my boobies off, there’s bugs, work to do, but gets my vote and it’s one closest YAY! If up to me, sneak it out now as a glitch with warning :possible extreme confusion/ painful hilarity/dimensional crisis/hair tingles
Shout out to my Earth Angel sister Paula who has had cerebral palsy since birth, her intense laughter makes me cry and has always helped me keep my feet on the ground.
