“XBLA and PSN will probably not happen, we just don’t think the controls would feel right. Mouse is great and so is the Wii remote. The DS would be a good platform for the game from a controls standpoint but the processor is not nearly strong enough for the physics simulation. We might be able to do a simplified version of the game, but we have no plans for that right now.” – Ron Carmel, 2D Boy

It might be interesting to see how World of Goo would work on the DS, but I personally believe it might be a better decision to move on to a brand new project. The physics part of World of Goo is one of the aspects that makes the game very entertaining.

Cute, magical, and hell-bent on becoming the world’s most powerful monsters… Who knew?

November 12, 2008
What is Kopin? That is one of life’s great questions. The Kopin in general is a legendary creature with a roundish head and a propensity for magic. Contrary to popular belief, Kopins do not grant wishes. Kopins live in a wide variety of areas in the world of Luminous Arc – they can be deadly opponents in battle or friendly help at the local bar.

In between missions in Luminous Arc, players encounter special sequences called “Life of Kopin,” that feature a specific Kopin determined to become the world’s most powerful monster. He doesn’t necessarily try too hard to meet this goal, and he does it in what might be considered an unorthodox fashion, but he’s dedicated to his mission and his antics enrich the Luminous Arc experience.
