Katamari Creator Getting Out Of Games

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."
