Katamari Creator Getting Out Of Games

Posted by Zonk on Thursday November 10, 2005 @10:57AM from the kat-a-mari dept.

The BBC reports that Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi sees himself in a different field in 10 years. From the article: "'I would like to create a playground for children,' he said. 'A normal playground is flat but I want an undulating one, with bumps.' At first glance, this seems a strange ambition for a game designer. But Mr Takahashi has a degree in sculpture and Katamari is all about a tactile world. And he believes children should spend more time in the physical world and less time wrapped up in the virtual world of games."

Getting out of games in 10 years? Wow, stop the presses. I love the sensationalized headline approach.

On a side note, this story seems like an early candidate for the "least number of responses to a /. story" award. What is there really to discuss? Dammit, don't bother answering that, I'm only hurting my own cause.
