"Something truly unique" now, says Dave. "EyePet."

15:32:55 - 

"This magical application" lets you adopt a virtual pet and watch as he or she comes to life in your living room.

15:33:09 - 

You can "stroke" them, "play with" them, or draw toys for them to play with in your living room.

Some footage is being show. A frightening monkey-dog thing is bursting out of a lifestyle family's telly.


15:34:17 - 

The lifestyle boy claps and it jumps. He draws a car on a bit of paper, the monkey-thing colours it in and the lifestyle dad presses a button on the PS3 pad to turn it into a 3D wooden car.


15:34:45 - 

The monkey-thing is wearing a variety of outfits e.g. punk, dinosaur. I am not sure I understand the meaning of anything any more. EyePet is out next year.

And thus the game I am currently working on is announced, not quite in the same vein as 8 Days is it.

Go Go Monkey Dog Thing.

Best comment so far on the youtube thread

"....that has been rendered onto the stream afterwards. even the ps3 cant react to an orange rolling that fast. if that was possible, you could build awesome robots right now. "

Priceless ...

You'll make a lot of children very happy with this game.

may i ask, what kind of work you're doing on this ?

just cause i browsed your portfolio from time to time and i can't really tell, what you could have worked on just from the trailer - i don't know, im just curious

he mapped the table top

Initially concepts for activities, then once concept approval is gained, detailed system design for prototyping by the code team.

Once prototypes are up and running, several iterations of testing & feedback until the prototype is either approved for inclusion in the game or scrapped.

I'm generally working on several prototypes at a time.

I'd be more specific, but NDA n all that ...

My portfolio is a bit out of date and unfinished really, I guess it gives the impression that I am only a level designer, which is not the case.

I should put some more work into it, but I am happy with my job right now and busy playing an MMO in my spare time so ...

ah, okay, thx for the extra info

just always interests me to see what the people that post about their projects did on it specifically.

btw, my gf absolutely loved the monkeythingcharacter

Finally what seemed to me a smart casual game. I really dig the promises this trailer hints at, in the same vein as the user created content LBP is going to have. I really like that part of Sony's brand right now, and I can't wait to see that in actual play.
