Archive: 81 posts


Hey everyone, i have not been an lbpc member long, or been active on the network that long, i have published a few levels that have done ok on the lbp network, such as future warzone, battle for lbp, and my trailer for warzone two, anyway, with help from certain friends( you all know who you are, Thank you so much!) media molecule themseves contacted me with a expression to meet me, i went to their studio and met many mm staff (who by the way are some of the nicest, friendliest, and kindest people you could possibly hope to meet) i took my ps3 with me to show them my unpublished forthcoming work, on the strength of my presentation and their sheer kindness and greatness proceeded to offer me a position at the company as a level designer!!! now im sure that many of you may not be aware i have absolutely no experiance in computer design or in this kind of work, i just love lbp and i love what you can do and create with it, im just a builder( a good one lol) who happened to be in the right place at the right time, i am totally hounored, and flatterd at mms offer and of course accept 100% i want to thank them so much for giving me this oppertunity, and to thank everyone who has played my levels, all my psn friends who helped me contact mm, and my friends in real life, thank you everyone!!!!!2009-05-15 16:25:00

wow... so you technically work for them? Congrats!

What exactly will you do? Will you just make their levels, i.e. future MGS like pack levels, seeing as how you don't program...

Is your job description the position of putting together future DLC packs, or...?

I am so pleased and thrilled for you, John! I realise that I probably know you a bit better than most folk on here, but I wanted to let everyone know that what you've seen of johnee's talents is only a snippet of what he can produce (don't worry, John, I'll stay tight-lipped!).

You are officially living the dream for a lot of us, and I know you'll be a big asset to Mm. Well done, mate!

So many amazing things can come from LittleBigPlanet: Marriages, Jobs, you name it.

Failed exams, unable to work due to lack of sleep, high electricity bills, because the console is on 24/7, missed great parties because you just wanted to fix that small section, underweight because you forget to eat, etc, etc.

Congratulations!! Hang on to that positive feeling and don't let go... EVER!!

I just played your Future Warzone and your trailer for Warzone II levels yesterday or the day before after stumbling upon them, and was very impressed I must say.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with for us all in the future working directly for Mm. Hopefully you will remain a member here and perhaps serve as some small link between the community and Mm, in the sense of "hearing" what the community's desires for future creation tools and desires are.

Have a blast at work!

I might've said everything I could have in our messages, but I knew you'd do it. Your talent and imagination along with your basic problem solving skills for finding solutions to create this or that almost secured you the job in my mind.

I just can't wait to see what your able to bring to the team. The community as a whole appreciates your efforts and now Media Molecule gets to experience your imagination and drive first hand.

Whooooo the big J made it!

It's been my dream to work for Media Molecule since LBP came out. ah well, I'm young, i can start working to my goal now.

Anyway, Congratulations! now there gonna have to finally update the news for the LBcommunity!

Hopefully even though your a level designer you'll be able to pitch in costume ideas such as the cloth army suit, and many more. Once again a big congratulations, you've truly deserved this opportunity.

This is a story of success IMO. Might wanna look into contacting a game magazing or even G4. They'd love to publish this story.

Heck, they ate it up a few years ago when the #1 madden player in the USA got a job at EA.

But otherwise big congrats! I wish you nothing but the best in your new dream job! My jealousy abounds!
