And just like that, here is exactly for what I was asking! He even explicitly name drops STOS (and its Amiga port "AMOS") as the inspirations. Cool!

I also thought it was funny how the interviewer says, "One nice thing is that it's not patronizing, with lots of little Nintendo Miis running around, telling you what to do", as that's one complaint I have with "Dreams", and "LittleBigPlanet" before it. To be fair, since I wrote the aforelinked "Dreams" post, I have given it another shot and am improving.

I also found myself strongly agreeing that the Atari ST and Amiga were where things went off the rail: it might sound silly, but that added step of having to boot the Basic off of a separate floppy was definitely an inhibitor.

Maybe one day I'll do an extensive write-up of various GCS's, with pictures and screenshots: off the top of my head, I could do Megazeux, STOS, Roblox Studio, Dreams, and now this upcoming "Fuze".
