Inside Mac Games has posted a new interview with NetDevil's Jordan Itkowitz and Erik Urdang about the building block themed MMO, LEGO Universe. In the Q&A the developers answered questions about the game's popularity, childhood LEGO memories, upcoming content additions, and working with TransGaming to bring the game to Mac users.

CK: Are there long time LEGO fans on the development team? Did childhood memories of constructing LEGO toys provide inspiration?

JI: Oh yeah, of course - I’d say everyone on the team is a LEGO fan! We all have fond memories of spreading out with piles of LEGOs on our bedroom floors or at the kitchen table and just coming up with whatever we could imagine. I think if we could all go back in time and whisper in our former 8-year-old selves’ ears that one day all of those spaceships and secret forts and race cars would come to life in this vast LEGO video game universe on some crazy future computer thing called the Interwebs, our little heads would explode.

And that’s what’s really amazing about this game – not only do we give players of all ages the ability to play and adventure together, but then they can build, create and experiment in an all-new way – and bring those creations to life for the entire LEGO Universe to enjoy. That’s a truly remarkable evolution of the classic LEGO experience where you build something and then show it off to your friends and family.
