I didn't want to make too many notes as I wanted to pay as much attention as I could to the film. What I did write however, you can read below:
- Peter Molyneux advised that once your games' company reaches twenty employees then you may need to start making your work environment bigger and more like a large company. Therefore if you want to stay small/indie then stick with under twenty people. Peter also said that if he ever had the chance to restart in the games' industry then he would choose to be a small/indie company instead. Incidentally he went on to do this shortly after the movie was released.
- An actual Minecraft school exists that helps children learn to be more creative and know how to build a variety of things as you would in real life. The children have thus learned from playing this game how to build train tracks, music making machines, water irrigation systems, farms and even foundations for buildings. The teacher splits the children into groups and asks them to work together on projects in order to try and build anything from a house to a castle.
- With the above in mind maybe more kids could be taught through games. Perhaps video games will become a new teaching method as it can keep children engaged and improve their imagination.
- Sadly, I can't remember who said this but it went roughly as follows: "If you are going to take advice then do it! Otherwise you will never get round to doing it."
