Before LittleBigPlanet, there was ‘Craft World’

Media Molecule’s LittleBigPlanet was once known as “Craft World.” The studio responsible for LBP recently made public — via its official blog — a flyer used to pitch the peer-to-peer design game to Sony. Obviously early in the design process, the flyer doesn’t have the same sort of LBP look and feel, but it does carry the majority of the promises, including the promise of players being able to create and customize their own levels “in glorious photorealistic PS3-powered 3D.”

Also of note in this thing is the potato in the right-hand corner. That was Sackboy before he got his sack and before he decided to pop out of his zipper-cave.

In the same post, the studio mentioned it had also discovered a few DVDs from “LittleBigPlanet’s past.” If the footage is anything like this Craft World flyer, or contain the elusive PotatoBoy, we’re more than happy to sit down and watch them … for journalism, of course, not entertainment.
