I make fun of him sometimes, but damn it, I love Peter Molyneux – and so do loads of other people, it turns out. Not just the ones in my head, either.
“We’ve had just over 1,000 people apply for jobs at 22 Cans,” the ‘Neux gushed in an interview with Giant Bomb. “That’s pretty damn exciting. I’m working 16 hours-a-day just answering those e-mails. I’ve said to myself ‘Look, I’ve put this thing out there. I’ve got to answer all these e-mails, I’ve also got to look at all the Molyjam entries, and I’ve got to [use] Twitter.’ That’s taking up a huge amount of time. It’s a fantasticly, amazingly, incredibly exciting, though.”
It’s also a big change from his old job at Microsoft.
“I realised that 75% of my day was just doing nothing, basically,” he said. “It was just doing meetings, and now, doing everything from answering e-mails to doing press stuff, to going and talking at universities and designing the games, it just feels fantastic to be that hands-on, it really does.”
The studio hasn’t yet announced its first project, but whatever it is, it’s apparently going to “change the world”. I can’t wait to hear about all the features that will get binned before the game launches.
