Keita Takahashi Joins Tiny Speck

I found this game Glitch somehow on the interwebz and signed up to get a beta key. It looked like a mashup of LittleBigPlanet and Maple Story. I was interested.
I got a beta key and started playing. It was cool. An MMO, but with different objectives, a refreshing twist to a genre I usually hate.
And then I read THE blog post. The great Keita Takahashi joins the team.... How did this happen? Why is the inimitable creator of Katamari Damacy, one of the best games of all time IMO, joining a small developer in Canada (and moving their to boot).
So, I stopped worrying and learned to love Glitch. Too bad the beta ended pretty much the day I found this out. Hopefully he will start doing super interesting things with this and make this the first MMO that I can really get into. He's about the only one who could, I think.
