Lets have the option to turn sackboy off as the little guy can sometimes get in the way and annoyance can quickly turn into rage!! 2012-02-28 11:11:00

Yes please, I've always wanted this too! Clear case of form over function. You should have an option to hide sackboy when he is free floating, it would even help with using extra foreground layers since he wouldn't collide with them. Creating costumes should be a separate mode where your sackperson is utterly still and undo doesn't reset his orientation.

All the auto-sensing what the popit cursor is over and zooming the camera has made creating detailed stuff very fiddly...I would love to be able to turn these things off...leave my camera alone!. I have never ever wanted to place a sticker on a microchip either, if it won't be visible to the player it's just wasting thermo.

It will be interesting to see how LBP Vita solves these interface issues...

Maybe have an option in the start menu... next to preview and front view called ghosting, the sackling will remain solid (for the purposes of testing visuals in levels, scaling objects to sack size, ease of player sight and just cause he/she is awesome. However when the popit cursor (or any of the other tools... sticker editor ect) hovers over the player they will ghost and the cursor will act as if they are not there (when the cursor moves off of the player they 'rematerialise&apos. If you want to edit costumes just turn the option off.

So yeah... thats my take on how it should be done... if it's done

well either that or maybe just an option in the popit to turn it off and on. I think it would be a great improvement if it happened, there have been countless times that it's got in the way...for me at least2012-02-28 19:57:00

i'd prefer them to make sackboy have no physics instead.2012-02-28 21:09:00

I had massive problems with this when I was creating last night. I kept having to stop what I was doing and move him. Really annoying when creating large items or doing very small fine tweaking. Good suggestion guys.2012-02-29 11:19:00

I completely agree. I can't tell you the ammount of times Sackboy has got in the way(Especially when taking Photos), and made me rage. This feature would be completely awesome and benefit all creators.2012-03-06 00:14:00

I agree, when working with 3D it can be annoying when he gets stuck in the scenery, sometimes i let out a huge sigh or a dissaproving face if the mood takes me. I like gribbles idea of a sackboy without physics, iirc.2012-03-13 12:47:00
