Interview With a Prolific LittleBigPlanet Content Creator

SlappingOysters writes "Ole-Marius Lakselv is going to be making games for a living, sooner or later. Under his PSN moniker of Geosautis, he has become arguably the most popular and famous LittleBigPlanet level maker in the world. His works, such as World of Colour and Haunted Mansion, are shining examples of what a talented user with a bit of time on his hands can build using LittleBigPlanet's powerful creation tools. Gameplayer has just interviewed him to get the full story on being an amateur developer making waves in LittleBigPlanet. The site has also awarded the game The Best Exclusive of 2008."

Re:Good money?

In the shooter game market some got good enough resumes to get paying jobs out of their free work. I do not know if anyone has made significant money retroactively for what they did for free.

Someone doing work that is wholly their own can get some success if people will buy it but someone working on LBP or in the mod community has no legal revenue stream from that work.
