LBP was originally called Craft World
Origins of 'sackboy' spied
Media Molecule have given us a peek into their world, the developer revealing that LittleBigPlanet was originally called 'Craft World'... which sounds a bit like the crochet magazine your great aunt reads.
Craft World was billed as a "uniquely customisable, compelling game-world", and the title was part of Media Molecule's pitch to Sony - who went on to heavily back the game.
Peer-to-peer sharing was a big part of the brief, alongside "photorealistic PS3-powered 3D" visuals. The game's famous sackboy cover star was also originally set to be a sack of potatoes. Seriously.
A new blog update hints that videos from early-on in the game's development will also be added online soon. Intriguing.
