Paul Croft wins Interactive Entrepreneur award

Our very own Co-Founder and Director of Games, Paul Croft has won the Young Interactive Entrepreneur award for 2009 from The British Council.

A panel of seven respected judges including Ian Livingstone, Life President at Eidos and Matt Martin, Editor of GameIndustry.biz selected Paul for the award following a series of interviews about his work at Mediatonic Games.

The six finalists flew out to India in 2009 to attend the NASSCOM Animation & Gaming conference to meet with local technology businesses to discuss potential collaborations.

We're delighted that Paul's work has been recognised by the British Council and it marks the beginning of a very exciting year for Mediatonic.

Nomster in the (fuzzy) flesh!

We just had an amazing delivery to the office - it's a real life plushy Nomster, the star of MUST. EAT. BIRDS.

This beautiful little fella was sent to us by artist and monster plushy creator "Love & A Sandwich".

Not only does he make passers-by go "Awwww! Look! His eyes are even facing in the wrong direction!" but he also has a PRACTICAL use as well: since we got him not even a SINGLE ONE of our cakes has been stolen by scheming (but cute) birds.

Amazing.

Super Awesome Mediatonic Mug

I was recently blown away to receive this hand-decorated Mediatonic mug by Megan who is aged 12 and lives in the UK.

Megan loves to decorate pottery with her marker pens and clearly she has quite a talent for it! Thanks very much for sending this amazing gift; time for a cuppa tea I think :)

Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess! New PSP Minis game!

Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess!

Today we're massively excited to reveal something we've been working on for the past 3 months - an original PSP Mini soon to be available on the PSN store!

In the game, the player takes control of a massively powerful (and slightly unhinged) aristocratic demon known only as ?The Duke? who is woken up by the sound of his princess being stolen from her heavily barricaded room in his castle. Without a single clue to go on, he can only assume that monsters were (probably) responsible, and sets out to track down his missing princess by beating up monsters largely at random in the hope that it will (somehow) reunite him with his beloved princess.

The game is an upwards-scrolling platformer in which the player must chase down giant fleeing monsters and subdue them by crashing into them three times. As the player touches platforms on the way up they will build up a combo, delighting the Duke and increasing his speed and power to enable him to unleash increasingly over-the-top finishing moves when he defeats the monsters.

Features summary: ? Full story mode with animated cut-scenes detailing the Duke?s story ? Six unique worlds and monsters to battle through ? 24 levels in total ? Fast-paced upwards-scrolling chase action ? Original platforming and combat gameplay mechanic ? Full original(ish) soundtrack

The game will be launching in February - lots more details to follow soon! In the meantime check out the website.

This month at Mediatonic

We're playing...

Unreal Tournament

A blast from the past, we're having regular UT tournaments every lunchtime. Deathmatch and Capture the Flag are office favourites.

Steamweavers

With the game so close to launch, we've been spending way to much time absorbed in office-battles. Hopefully that's a good sign.

We're watching...

Top Gear

Everyone has now seen every episode at least 3 times.

One Piece

The greatest anime series of all time without question. We want to make a game about Pirates.
