Media Molecule co-founder Mark Healey has left the studio after 17 years.
Healey co-founded Media Molecule in 2006 in Guildford alongside Kareem Ettouney, Alex Evans and David Smith, after working at Fable developer Lionhead (and creating Rag Doll Kung Fu, the first non-Valve game on Steam). Media Molecule’s first game was 2008 PlayStation 3 user-generated content platformer LittleBigPlanet, which did well enough that Sony bought the company two years later in 2010.
Healey went on to work on LittleBigPlanet 2, 2013’s Tearaway and, most recently, PlayStation 4 game Dreams.
