5th Cell’s creative director Jeremiah Slaczka has revealed in an interview with Gama that Scribblenauts was in development for over a year.

One year and three months, to be exact.

“[We worked on Scribblenauts for] a year and three months, which is crazy. That’s probably the only thing I don’t like about 5th Cell’s development. It’s just how it is. That’s the way it is. We’re competing against companies like Square Enix and Nintendo, triple-A products,” revealed Slaczka.

“People hold us to the same standard, which I’m totally fine with — I want them to hold us to that standard. But they get three years, and I get one year. That’s the big difference. I feel like a boxer with one hand tied between my back.”

Scribblenauts wasn’t always called Scribblenauts, according to creative director Jeremiah Slaczka.

Originally, it was called “Wordplay”.

“We had a lot of different names before Scribblenauts,” said Slaczka. “The original name was Wordplay, which is really lame and not fun and very generic…We’ve always gone through a lot of names before we kinda settle on a final name…

“Scribblenauts was also actually a temp name, which is kind of funny that it actually stuck. Because in the beginning, we were just like, well we need something, we always need something for a pitch and what’s the project name. So we were like, ‘Well, this is quirky and interesting, but maybe not completely what we want to go for.’

“But it just stuck. It made sense. And it wasn’t generic at all.”

Scribblenauts dev 5th Cell’s next game will be a console title, the firm’s confirmed to Destructoid.

“We’re going to console next year,” said Scribblenauts creative lead Jeremiah Slaczka.

“We’ll be announcing that next year, and it’s another original title. We’ll still do DS, maybe, but we want to focus our efforts on original consoles.”

No one knows what the new game is yet. Apart from 5th Cell. And God.

Scribblenauts ships for DS in October.
