Media Molecule's PlayStation 3 title
LittleBigPlanet has now seen one million user-created levels uploaded since its Fall 2008 launch,
according to new data from the official PlayStation Blog.
This means a new level is uploaded, on average, every 21 seconds. Altogether, those user-created levels have been played a total of 244 million times, says the statement.
Both Media Molecule and its
LittleBigPlanet have earned widespread global critical acclaim. Most recently they
swept the Develop Industry Excellence Awards in Brighton, taking home wins in the Best New IP, Visual Arts, Technical Innovation, Best New Studio and Best Independent Developer categories.
Sony has said that open games that enable and encourage user contributions and creativity
are a major part of its strategy for the PlayStation 3.
Moreover, at E3, Sony unveiled user-generated community-based racer
Mod Nation Racers, developed by United Front Games -- who worked closely with Media Molecule to learn best practices.
