During his keynote speech at Develop in Brighton today, Alex Evans from Media Molecule said that the Developers are constantly checking forums, blogs and press for peoples views on the game and implementing any ideas which stand out, he did go on to say that obviously they can’t cater for everyone, however it just goes to show that if you happen to be one of these people that like to make your voice heard on forums, the developers are reading your comments and perhaps even taking them into account when making their game.

 

Elsewhere in his speech he also mentioned that they are constantly tweaking the game and that some of the demos they show are usually only a week old, having been programmed the week before.

 

The highlight of the speech was when Alex showed a shaky video which captured the moment the game was playable online for the first time, amusingly to celebrate this fact, eight little sackboys headbanged simultaneously to Bohemian Rhapsody, by Queen. It was funny stuff which captured the elation of the developers as they reached an important milestone in the development of the game.
