Sackbots.... a mind of their own.

Archive: 14 posts


Just thought I'd share this funny experience with you all. When I first got the beta, one of the first things I did was find an unfinished LBP level to that was short and simple that I could tweak and throw up in LBP2. I found an unfinished level from over a year ago, and decided to replace my tiny cutout characters I put in the background to create a forced-perspective effect with tiny sackbots. I also needed to replace one in a vehicle. So yesterday I was messing about in the level on something else, and wouldn't you know it... along comes this tiny character on my screen. I immediately started laughing as I wasn't expecting him to show up. I went back to look at where he came from and couldn't figure it out until I finally realized that he was the one from the vehcile and had somehow gotten out. This made me laugh even more because I don't know how he got out.

Similarly, I was just working on another level and am using a sackbot as a tiny creature with low gravity settings and he jumps around the room at random. He's also gotten out through a small opening that I didn't realize he could get through.

Lesson learned... if you've got them set to roam about on their own and they can find a way out... they will.

Now if you'll excuse me... I have a tiny creature to scour my level for.. and he's not easy to find.

Lol they can also get in vehicles and follow you with them, they're quite intelligent.

Note: Don't set them to hostile mode and give them a creatinator with fire in it.

I got a good chuckle out of this. I really should experiment with sackbots more--so far my experiments have been limited to remote controlling them.2010-10-22 21:05:00

Actually... it was very cute, and that's the best word I could use to describe it. (though I'm still very much in touch with my masculinity)

They make GREAT NPC's! I have to say... they are truly one of the best new elements of the game with regards to immersing the player in the story or level. Even just creating.. I don't feel so alone in my levels. I like them so much, I'm going to keep one or two just walking around in my level when creating from now on.. whether they are supposed to be there or not. Such fun little things (especially the tiny ones.)

Ha. Sounds like a decent way to test our levels.
Let the sackbots do most of the work!

You're going to fall in love even more when you get your virtual hands on them! They are AMAZING and the best new feature for sure. I currently have about twenty of them in one room, and the thermo's getting up there with the variation in costumes. A city will be tough, but do-able depending on your variety and if you add some level links maybe.

lol... indeed! Though they wouldn't necessarily find everything. Still, both mine have managed to escape so...

I can picture this in my mind. You working away at something, then a little sackbot wondering over. Makes me chuckle! 2010-10-24 12:22:00
