Designing the Ultimate LEGO Sandbox

Another Wednesday means a new episode of the fantastic Bricks N' Bits podcast; this time around looking into the creation of LEGO Worlds. In Season 4, Episode 44 - Creating Worlds With LEGO Bricks, Ethan Vincent and Brian Crecente sit down with Cephas Howard, former director of innovation in digital at the LEGO Group, John Hodskinson, game director on LEGO Worlds, and Mark Engley, lead game mechanics programmer at TT Games, to discuss how the failed project with Minecraft led in part to the creation of Worlds, the different directions they considered going, and how they ended up where they did. I enjoyed hearing about the pitch video which almost canceled the project before it even started! I'm going to miss the podcast when they wrap up this season, and I definitely recommend everyone give it a listen.
