“Moving along the Z-axis is a very controversial thing that was difficult to get right,” he stated. “At times, it really annoys me, but we can work on that and improve the control system.”

“Overall, we managed to bring almost all our ideas to life, because we were trying to make a game that would appeal to both my mum and a hardcore gamer. And striking a balance in this case was very tricky.”

“Of course, there’s a lot that can still be improved, and we know how to do it,” he added. “For example, I would like my Sackboy to do backflips, and there’s no reason why we wouldn’t add this and other features.”
