Additional Layers

Archive: 2 posts


Throughout the history of Little Big Planet, its level creator has brought joy to many, many creators. The tool has allowed ones mind to channel their ideas onto the 2.5 dimensional plane of Little Big Planet. However, of all things, one flaw remains that plagues a creator with problems unlike others. This vermin, is the 3 movement layers.

Traditionally, 3 layers(2 for PSP) provide a simple playing field for creators. While it makes it easier for early creators, the 3 limitations can cause the fall of a creative mind, leading to an eventual quit for greater game engines. If additional layers can be used, however, the positive effects of doing so would lead to a workshop of greater games.

By allowing even a small 2 layers, the creation field would revolutionize. In a top down game, many details are shrunk down to fit the first two layers, utilizing the third layer as a wall and squeezing the HUD down to the third skinny layer. If an additional layer was added to such a level, another layer of detail could flourish, bring shape to either the player's custom HUD or the controlled entity. Utilizing 5 layers would improve single direction race levels as well, proving a single spawn layer as well as 4 layers for vehicles. In future levels such as RTS games, buildings and tanks would no longer be limited to 1.5 layers or detail, leading to greater level details.

The concept of 5 layers has been been presented before via the extra layers glitch. Such a glitch allowed players to place materials pass the normal limit of walls. Doing so proves that the creation of additional layers is possible with coding.

The uses of 5 layers would be a revolutionary idea to Little Big Planet. If such an idea were to be implemented, the possibilities of usage would be nearly endless, with your only limit, being yourself.

I assume you know about extra layers glitch? MM consider it for long time and if thye not add this to LBP2 they most likely implement it in next instalment or later. It's matter of time, since they really like the idea, but they still don't know how to utilize it in official way, since currently it's hard to edit those extra layer.

As for extra layer be playable, i don't know official extra layers for decoration use would be big already
