Great to see the game out there in the press and fan community as we approach the hols!
Especially cool to see some press with Spielberg chatting about the game.
One of the features in Boom Blox that a lot of people love, and that EA has put a lot of work into, is the level builder. As you play, you unlock basically new toys that go in the chest and then you use these to build your own levels. Is this something your family has played with much?
Oh yes. They’ve created new games, they’ve sent them to their friends. They’re very proud of the things they’ve created. They really enjoy amassing all these collectibles they know they’ll be able to use in the build section. Then they build these amazing complicated things. A does to B does to C does to D. They love the Rube Goldberg aspect. It’s like dominoes. As a parent, I used to play dominoes with my kids. I still do with my grandkids. There’s a whole element of that in Boom Blox.
Playing with the editor (probably obviously) is still one of my favorite things about BB. From the silly characters to the musical blox to the super bomb… I still find myself drawn there. Demoing the game recently to a host of 9-12 year-old kids, I was pleased to see that when given free reign in the editor almost any kid can create something that makes them laugh in a just a minute or two.
It isn’t easy to make a game that can genuinely make people giggle… and it is one of the things I <3 most about BB!
