Bingo, you got it. Give this man a cookie.

It's still a DS game, but no joke, it's mathematically impossible for someone to experience all the content in game in their lifetime. :lol we've done tests to see how to QA the game, and you can't fully do it, you'll run out of years in your life to experience every interaction with every other interaction :lol This isn't some PR hype thing it's fact.

Jackson, GOD LOVES YOU!

Spoiler

not saying I dont love you too

 

[Nocebo]

I want to play this game so badly. I hope europe doesn't have to wait longer than USA.

 

[Phife Dawg]

This game sounds better and better every time we hear about it.

 

[Night_Trekker]

This game sounds more amazing every time I hear about it. I can see myself leaving the damn thing in my DS just to write random objects into the world when I'm bored.

 

[Jocchan]

Best DS game evar.

 

[eXistor]

I hope the gameplay matches the concept. I for one am sold already.

 

[abstract alien]

Is the hard mode(only use words once) available from the jump, or is it opened after the game is completed? Just curious, as ill probably play through this game a million times anyway.

 

[Throwaway123456789]

So when will it launch in Europe?

After you beat a level it will unlock.

Fall Release is the current target for Scribblenauts

Why aren't you doing some WiiWare stuff? That service has a shortage of high-quality games.

 

[Hazaro]

it's already confirmed it is I'll be there showing it!

Awesome, I hope you get some hardball questions of things to draw so you can shut everyone up already.

We're working on other platforms besides the DS. No WiiWare though, sorry.

I don't envy the translators.

 

[TheChaos]

What happens when you write intangible things, like "love" and "dignity"?

Then I will not buy Scribblenauts.

LIE

You may say when the other games will be announced?

 

[Amir0x]

objects only

 

[Jocchan]

I wonder what happens if I write rickroll (or duckroll).

 

[EatChildren]

This game sounds phenominal, Jackson. Extremely hyped and the level editor pretty much seals the dead (if it wasn't already).

I'm still sceptical about what will and wont make it into the game, mostly the more abstract stuff that really wouldn't serve any purpose (gravitational singularity, moisture, thorium, etc), but I'll find a lot of joy in seeing what does work.

then how is it possible to program all the interactions? is it procedural?

if there's a specific interaction for each item it has to be programmed in unless it's done automatically by the computer which doesn't sound as interesting.

I'm not trying to knock the game (i'm hyped for it), but if it's impossible for someone to EVER see all the stuff then how is it possible that you make that amount of combinations?

I know one thing...after you beat every level on both normal and hard, you should be able to summon Jackson.

I asked myself the same question, and the only thing i could really imagine it being like was a calculator(rough analogy, i know), except you provide something with a set of rules and objects to govern as opposed to numbers. Thats about the only thing I could really think of when it came to trying to get a grip on the statement.

like Amir0x said... objects only, nothing abstract, the game has rules

Procedural content on the DS? lol no
Don't ask the magician how, just enjoy the magic trick.

We're focused on Scrib for now It'll be many months before we announce anything else.
