Text & Shareable Fonts & Object Sharing

Archive: 5 posts


LBP2 should have the ability to write out whatever text you type in in the font of your choice, as either a sticker (you choose the colour) or a solid object. It should be possible to design a font (simple as capturing an object for each letter to give the shape) and then share it with the community which others can access.

Regarding object sharing, I think ALL objects (including fonts) should be available to search for WITHIN create mode. So if I need a microchip to do X, or I want to type something out in a cool font, I don't have to save, quit out, search, play a level, find the object isn't quite right, search again, play another level, collect the object, go back into create mode. I just pull up the community objects (or fonts) page in my popit and press "search" and then scroll through until I find the object I want.

If you are talking about custom fonts in speech bubbles then I think its too much work for too many problems and little usage.

If you are talking about a special place for people to "publish" custom objects and have them searchable(I'm thinking exactly like a combo of normal levels and how you get those dlc costumes(after you get from PS-Store)) I think that would be an extremely useful feature, I don't know how well it could work for objects in general but being able to publish microchips seems like it would be useful.

He's not talking about custom fonts for speech bubbles, but a tool which would either make a sticker with your choice of font, text and color, or a solid object shaped like your text with the font.

As for the 2nd idea, how would it work? Access every prize bubble in every level (except for Collected All and Aced level prizes) and search from there?

Would work if you'd publish your object in the library where you get & share objects, instead of getting it from a level. Some prize bubbles are meant to be challenging to get, instead of going to your moon and "stealing" it...

Unless the creator could choose if the prizes of the level can be accessed via Popit download or not...

Well I'll put it this way.

The whole system of putting things in prize bubbles is fundamentally flawed. Sure, it's nice to have hidden areas and challenges, and it's nice to reward people for that. But 99.999% of the time, the player DOES NOT WANT the item in the prize bubble. Even if it's a good item. Because they are only going to want things as they are creating. Story mode is different because it gives you the basic materials & music that you need to create. Still I'd rather they didn't give us all these objects and rather gave away create tools, sound objects and the like in story mode.

So yeah, you'd publish your object in the library where you get & share objects, instead of putting it in your level. I don't want it to "scan" levels to find all the items in them. This is how it should have been from the start. Costumes as well perhaps could be shared via popit. Because the problem is, EVERYBODY makes EVERYTHING from scratch every time, save for maybe a few very useful items like logic gates. But if I want something slightly more complicated, it would be so much easier to just seach for it rather than spend hours configuring my contraption. These objects should also be able to be edited (if the creator so desires).

That is why a system of publishing object seperate from levels would probably be best, having tags and comments to make it fully searchable. It would be a big endeavor(and doubt it will happen) but would really push what they have said about microchips and having the "electrical engineers" create a microchip and have others use it.
