Media Molecule, the already-acclaimed development studio behind LittBigPlanet, is comprised of only 30 people. That's right, 30. While other studios house over a hundred, maybe even several hundred developers, Media Molecule created LittleBigPlanet with less than three dozen. Media Molecule co-founder Mark Healey says the team size "worked out well" during the game's creation.
"We're always conscious of wanting to have a small team," Healey said to GamesIndustry.biz. "I've worked from just myself in my bedroom to being in a room with 200 people, and every range in between you can imagine. In my experience, about 30 people was when I had the most fun."
"People genuinely put a lot of love, heart and soul into the game because their contribution really matters," he added. "Everyone can look at that game and see themselves in it. Everyone's really integrated into it."
We wouldn't have it any other way, Mark. LittleBigPlanet is launching on a PS3 near you very, very soon.

Wow 30 people is tiny. They made an awesome game tho.
Can't have too many chefs in the kitchen.
i've worked in a 30 person team, it works great, and they're right, you can really see and know who made what, and it's not just some huge team where only your lead knows your name
the game is amazing!
I just downloaded the beta for this game. The half hour I played of it, WAS THE MOST AMAZING HALF HOUR EVER!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I had more time to play, there was sooooooooo much to do!!!!!!!!!!
With 30 people you actually get to know everyone and you can do better teamwork with them.
Those 30 deserve an fat bonus cheque, after their efforts!!!
That's awesome. I've been pouring hours into playing the beta and still feel like I haven't unlocked every cool little thing yet. Yeah, I think most fun games are usually made by a small group of people. These 30 people are gonna be RICH$$$ If you are looking for a game you can play for years and years and not get tired of it, LBP is the game for you. It's like the video game equivelent to Legos. Nobody gets tired of Legos. NOBODY!
30 people comprise such an awesome studio?Woah!It's almost hard to believe.
I wonder what they'll do next?
psn id: gingo... people always assume more is better but for devleopment teams when every1's opinions can be heard and implemented it really makes for a fantastic game maybe EA should take a leaf out of their book
i got one thing to say... life is what you make it, literally. i can't wait for this game.
Seems like big teams tend to put out garbage if they arent reigned in frequently, its nice to see something close to a return to the old days when a few people could gather in someones garage and put out the next ginormous hit.
