Kodu's lead programmer, Matt MacLaurin, has said that comparisons of its upcoming XBLA game to LittleBigPlanet are caused by unfamiliarity with the genres, describing Microsoft's title as a "programming language" rather than a level-editor.
Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz MacLaurin said that the two titles represented "a new wave" and that the industry has "some catching up to do".
