What does everyone think about having a pet in LBP that would be interactive and follow you around? You could guide and interact with it by hand signals and stuff.

This might be a good idea. Design your sack pet, from a sack cat, to a sack dog or even a small sack dragon with wings :-x

Adorable! Not much more to say. While I can see that the programmers would probably prioritize other tasks and while it would most certainly take quite some time to implement this feature, I'd just love to see littlebigpets! On a related side note, it would also be nice to have "interactive pod decoration". I was primarily thinking of furniture (maybe letting us use all guesstimated 7 or 8 layers of the pod), TVs and lights, but a "pod pet" would be cute! Having a bit of lifestock in your own littlebiglivingroom!

It could be a great idea to start a new level! Why don't you use it like this for now?

or how about, a section in your popit, with a variety of animals that you can tweak the colour of but still resemble sackboy material that you can place in your level, and are affected by the same things as sackboy dies if it touches hazards, can be grabbed can hit buttons (but not proxys)

This really could be possible (I think) and would be awesome!

Can I get my small sack dragon with wings breathing fire on other sack puppets?

That's a great idea, actually! Oh, what I wouldn't give to have a little Sackbird sitting on my shoulder.

I would agree that this idea is really good and opens up a lot of gameplay possibilities. However, it does seem like a rather difficult feature to integrate in terms of technicality. LBP is a rather simple game to play - that's one of the reasons that it's so popular. With the addition of pets, the gameplay may become complicated or challenging; ideally, you'd be able to issue the creature commands to sit or follow, but it also has to act as its own being. Will the Pet have its own individual lives counter, or will it share lives with its owner? While it would be a good feature, I'll soundly bet this; this isn't happening.

Having pets which follow you around in any level would be nice, but as you've already pointed out, too difficult to integrate on a technical level. I think it would be more than enough if we could just have our own pet in our pod. Just sitting there, waiting for their owner and any other happy gadders, and doing some cool stuff.

Treas: Good point. I'll take a cute little doberman pinschersack to guard my pod, while I'm away. Then lure in some of my firends in for him to have a snack. LOL SLS10: It would be a good idea to have the pet share the players lives. Also, the pet could just be on like an auto-pilot and always make a successful jump or in the case of the sack bird, stay on your shoulder or fly around behind you. I think that this could be done as simply as integrating all of the other interactive items that LBP has. It's just a matter of programming and Mm has some brilliant talent. I seem to remember a time when everyone thought that water would be too hard to integrate into the game and yet, water is on it's way.

A pet could work if there were levels compatible with pets, or there could be a command where the pat is at it's master's side and when ever the master dies so does the pet as well. I could really enjoy having a little sack dog or a tiny sack mouse. If you have a mouse pet maybe they could run under a space only small enough for it to get under to get the prize bubble.

Sack pets in your pod would be the best. I hate the pod. I wish you could actually build stuff in it, put power-ups in it, change materials, ect, but that's a whole 'nother topic on its own. I'd get a sack-eating anaconda, or big ol' tarantula

I like the sound of the tarantual!

You can kinda do this already, by putting decorations on the paintinator, although I would like to see a bird flying around my pod.

well i HAVE been making designs for littlebigpets of my own!...and my favourite...littlebigguarddogs!...they would attack the sack until they sticker it with the chosen sticker!...i'm making many varieties like...huskies,retrievers,pitbulls and such..

srgt: Ummm......that's not a pet dude. That's an inanimate, stick on, sorry excuse for piece of junk pet idea. It's just a fish stuck on a frikkin paintinator! Sorry, not to be rude, but I mean a fully interactive sub-character that kind of has a mind of it's own, but doesn't. It would simply follow you around levels, hang out with you in your pod, do certain simple things with hand motion signals when you move your arms around. Of course you'd also have the option to put the pet away. ^ This is the kind of pet I'm talking about, not a stick on for your paintinator.

I want a big fatty bear that's made of some carpet material and he would eat, sleep and rip threw my pods floor and I would have an excuse to have alot of duct tape and it would love me unconditionally lol, on a serious note, Pod pets sound manageable but come on....pets that follow you around and are needed for levels? Lets be realistic. If you really wanted that you could just make it. Now maybe little pets that are just a costume item and on the end of a leash...maybe.

Honestly, I'd love to have a little sack dinosaur or even a cardboard UFO.

I think you should have pets in the pod, because if it follow you in a level it would just mess around. The switches wouldnt work and etc. I want little monkey in my pod!!! lol it would be cool!!!

I've no idea how it could add gameplay to the game, but a lovely, cute pet which you could personalize like your sackboy and follows you everywhere, yeah, i would like that!! cheers, misty

The monkey could sit on your shoulder and you could run around then command it to walk forward with a point, if there is an obstacle in the way it could just automatically use the object. Unless the game lets you control the monkey.

Slit: It would be cool to make the monkey throw it's poop around! LMAO!

Just like the paintinator shoots paint, well this monkey throws brown 'paint'.

Well, i am working on a pet shop type thing where you can get pets then place it in your level and the people can choose the pet, and each will have a SPESHUL ABBILITY!

Having a bit of lifestock in your own littlebiglivingroom! I, too, would like to see a more interactive pod. I'd like to be able to use the tool bag in there to build stuff... But I love the idea of a sack pet in your pod! Not sure a bout in the levels, but certainly in the pod!

Pets would be nice...but it would be hard for Mm to implement, and they wouldn't do a whole lot either. I know a creator(Martut) who made a level(The World of Eggins) where you would take care of a pet Eggin.

Can I have a pet sac like Gon the dinosaur from Tekken 3?

Well, i am working on a pet shop type thing where you can get pets then place it in your level and the people can choose the pet, and each will have a SPESHUL ABBILITY! Its Special and my pet would be a flying dragon like mushu from Mulan, and his special ability would be so that i would be able to switch places with him, so i could fly around and grab things

I think the idea would be more "viable" if it didnt have special powers, if it were more like an extra player or a costume piece, the extra player wouldnt be able to do anything just take up room on the start bar, Or if it were a costume piece it would run/fly/flop around your sack, However if this were to be somehow implemented into the pod, then it would have free rein and say youo didnt go on lbp for a while you could come back and your pet would lick you say. However. Animals in your level

^ That's a good idea. It could just sit on your head or something. Pod pets are a good idea also. I think interactive pets in levels would be way too complicated to implement.

Good, but only for the pod. I want a sack-eating bunny

I really like the idea. Should it be a new 'fold' in the costumes part, or should it be another button? Having it as a button, could also have food, toys etc., so that you can actually feed it, making it able to do things for one, so that it would also work as a little companion (grabbing things for you, so that some 2x parts will be easily solveable. Of course a 'No Animals Allowed' thing should also be made along with it then). Also, having it return to the pod when dismissing it, would be awesome . A pack with animals could be cool.. Here's some ideas! A Dog A Cat A Wolf A Reindeer A Mini Snowman A Jumpking Pumpkin A Ghost A Rabbit A Half Rabbit, Half Human Thing etc.. I like this idea alot! Rawr~ Media Molecule, make this! xD.

A giant house fly that grabs you and flies you around, also a praying mantis.

Only for the pod? Maybe that's where they should live, but I think it would be neat if there was more to them. Like a fourth planet/moon that your pet can have some use on? Maybe something competitive. Unfortunately there woul be no way I can think of to raise their stats in a game about user generated content that wouldn't be easy to abuse. Also it would probably be too big an update...

good idea, i can see it and it would be cute.Since i have a multiplayer buddy, it would be a cool new thing for two players to add a third or fourth for that matter

Nice idea for the pod, but if the pets can do anything, I mean ANYTHING at all besides being a part of your costume then they would absolutely break the game. Imagine having to create all of your levels with these new pets in mind, or going back and republishing all of your levels with a "No pets allowed" thing. If they're a part of your costume/run around you/ sit on your shoulder and can't interact with anything in any way, I'm all for it.

If they're a part of your costume/run around you/ sit on your shoulder and can't interact with anything in any way, I'm all for it. Yes. This is the only way teh kittehs (and other pets) could be in the game. You can kinda do this already though... The paintinator glitch allows you to float decoration in mid air and stay with sackboy. So you can have a pet butterfly, fish, sea horse, and any other decoration/ decoration combination you can think of... Obviously this isnt like having a little doggy follow you around, but it's the closing thing we have so far.

Pets in LBP? Sorry...I don't see it working.

2009-12-19 20:06:00 Author: FuzzballFox Posts: 217

It would be really cool to have your own pet...perhaps if the pet followed at your side, like the Paintinator pet glitch, but yet you could issue it commands, like to sit while you are standing still. Maybe MM could add it where you have a "Customize Pet" section in your Popit, just like the section you use to customize your sack, but for your pet. It sounds reasonably easy to program and a great feature for the biggest of LBP fans: LittleBigPets! Also, I think the pet should probably share lives with its owner, dying when its leader sack does. Maybe pet owners could have an option to "put their pets away," literally commanding their pets to "climb inside their Popits." This way, they could keep their pets safe or simply give them a rest. Other sacks being able to pet and interact with others' pets definitely sounds like a good idea, but I don't know about harming them-a sack understandably would NOT like someone just walking up and slapping their precious pet! But anyways, I really encourage this idea. It opens up an even broader range of customization in LBP, and we all know that's one of the strongest reasons why MM made LBP-to give us a place to express ourselves and customize our time there. MM, please give us LittleBigPets!
