World of Yoghurt

World of Yoghurt….the Game


Background to the World of Yoghurt

LearnPlay Foundation and Looking For Yoghurt Director Peter Wynn-Willson of the Hanyong Theatre Company having been working in partnership with Reaside Junior School to develop a game level in Sony’s Little Big Planet on the PlayStation 3.

Game Designers of the Future!
The game development compliments the theatre production and has allowed the children at Reaside Junior School to become game developers for a term. The children developed a range of creative skills in a fun and engaging environment. They learned how to map out creative concepts, sharing and discussing their ideas and drill down to the chosen idea. They story-boarded their ideas and produced functionality specifications whilst letting their imaginations run wild with the design of crazy and treacherous puzzles within the game level. The result being a fully playable (be warned, it is not easy!) game level published to the Little Big Planet community. See access details further on.
