LittleBigPlanet creation aspects are to be expanded in upcoming DLC, Media Molecule co-founder Mark Healy has told VG247.?A lot of our DLC so far has been based around expanding our palletes, if you like; more costumes, more stickers, and things like this,? said the developer.?A big part of what?s coming in the future expands on what?s possible in LittleBigPlanet in terms of it being a creation tool.?When asked specifically if he was talking about the game?s feature set, Healy responded:?Yeah. There?s going to be lots of exciting things that make it into more of a versatile creation tool.?Healy was speaking after a talk on the visual style of LittleBigPlanet at Develop in Brighton earlier this month, in which he and fellow Media Molecule founder Kareem Ettouney said upcoming content for the game would make fans ?very happy?.It was confirmed during the talk that more than 1 million LBP levels have now been created by PS3 users.



Yay!

Creator Pack 2 methinks. Of course the question is how long will we have to wait.2009-07-28 11:34:00

Exactly my thoughts. I'm sure they will deliver eventually but lets be honest, there is absolutely no point in getting excited by stuff like this. I'll wait for an official announcement and keep on thinking of new ways to use the tools we have - that's the only way we we're going to see an increase in possibilities any time soon

One thing I would really like is the option to colour or sticker decorations.

That would make for infinitely more creative designs. Take just 1 item e.g. The peacock feather. If it were possible to change the colour of that ( with a tweak menu would be better than stickering because stickers take up loads of thermo ) you could make an entire aviary if you wanted. That alone would offer hundreds if not thousands of new design possibilities.

I'm surprised there aren't more people talking about this.

I'm suspecting he's referring to Online Create...

I hope and belief he isn't.

There isn't really much to talk about, they've been saying that for so many month that is hard to get excited. Especially since we don't know what we should get excited about.

Well, based on the chatter from various people around here who know something we don't, I believe that this hint is related to Online Create.2009-07-28 19:12:00

I saw someone mentions this somewhere alooooong time ago, but a new switch I would like is a PS3 controller switch, like the one in your pod. You press square to interact with it, and all the buttons have wires that can be connected to things as usual, and all parameters changed, like always. L1/L2/R1/R2/triangle square circle x up down left right and even a possible new switch function with analog control, and perhaps even speed settings driven by pressure sensitive button presses.

I could see alot more being done with pseudo top down and "hidden" sackboy designed games this way.

They probably are talking about Online Create.

I will get excited when someone of Media Molecule will have a date + "creator pack 2" in the same sentence.

I bet 25 experience points that it's something that no one asked for.

I want a tool to make all the stickers the MM logo...wheres my 25exp.

I think a sticker edit menu would be good. Like to choose what part is transparent and colour bits in.....seriously where's my 25 exp.

II retain my opinion so far...

Btw, that would be rather useless, extremely time taking for bith the user and Mm.
It'd be a lot easer for both creatore and Mm if the creator simply places the pic into ta material and cut it so its a sticker of whatever you want, then simply copy/ add to whatever you wanna put it.

(And are you like asking or stating "where's my 25exp"?
Seriously, seems kinda weird just saying it w/out interrogation signs, seems as if you're just sayin that reandomly or for no some reason, as if obsessed with it or something. )

This could refer to anything even a background editor type thing, as there's no date for when it is released, or after the "glitch" many more layers proberly not though2009-07-29 12:30:00

LBP_Level_Critic told me it was going to be upgraded dance moves. You'll be able to press in the analog stick a 3rd time to control your feet. 2009-07-29 12:40:00

Thank you! Do you know how long I've wanted SIXAXIS dance move control? Since the game was released! It's the first thing I thought of upon turning on the game. I said to myself, "This needs dance moves." I'm glad that MediaMolecule is once again catering to the needs of their fans. Thank LBP_Level_Critic for me.

On a serious note: Anything that adds new gameplay mechanics or functionality is good in my book.

Thats weird he told me that their going to include a funtion that allows you to pretend to be MM staff and spread rumours around the LBP community. I think he was in the beta testing for it.

Weird.. someone sent me a message saying they were from MM, but can't recall the name. They had told me that they were working on new abilities to store controller sequences somewhat like a pc stores keystrokes into macros in order to help folks with lesser sack skills for those tricky jump, grab and swing combo's that keeps them from acing levels and the almighty platinum trophy.

..except they were going to call it Macro's and Cheese to keep with that cheese theme they seem to love.

I think you have at least one of those right... I'll give you a guess as to which one I'm thinking about...

What do you mean by "pressing O will trigger stuff"? In play mode?
