insane LBP fact of the day: commodore accidentally giving a beans company hardware directly resulted in the existence of Little big planet.
So a guy called Peter Molynuex ran a company selling beans in the middle east called Taurus, he was a failed game dev and after a miscommunication error, commodore mistook Taurus for Torus and offered Peter 10 amigas if he developed them a software, Peter agreed and developed a software, but eventually came clean but commodore still released the software to moderate success, this caused him to found bullfrog studios with a freind of his, but he eventually moved on to lionhead studios. Lionhead studios hired Matt Healy who helped make Rag Doll kung fu there and that sparked a love for making and developing games. He then eventually left and founded media fucking molecule who then made little big planet, and the rest is history!!
im absolutely insane I can’t believe I researched all of this because my brain is like haha silly sack game go brrrr /hj
Hold on I have another fact 💀
The beta version of the factory of a better tomorrow was called the popov factory. This was likely a placeholder name however the popov was an early version of the meanie and it would have been a pink strange creature that possessed and took over sackpeoples minds, or in other concepts simply masqueraded as sack people. The closest thing we have to this in game that shows this is the creature stingers and horns, although recently people have found a ‘popov dog’ which was seen in some of the concept art so it is likely it was scrapped during the early to mid development stages.

Clive’s fun LBP fact of the day:
this one is a bit more obvious, but casual players may not know this!!
Eves asylum is heavily inspired by Gustav Klimt’s work, specifically his golden age!! A lot of the original concepts were a kind of futuristic greenhouse style thing and they looked super cool!! I’m still glad we got the eves asylum we did, it’s so beautifully done. I presume they deemed the futuristic idea a little too similar to Henry’s garage, which eventually became Avalonia.
clive handforth AND factory of a better tomorrow stimboard @factoryofbettertomorrow ! why not both :D tried my hand at making the gameplay gifs here, hope theyre alright !!
