Hey everyone!




Here’s some news:

Finally!
Water is coming to LittleBigPlanet hopefully sometime during Christmas week!
How do I know this? Well if you watch LittleBIGPodcast they were in the water beta and now they’re allowed to tell you about it!
(They also had a big debate over whether it was coming out Christmas week or not.)
Also Media Molecule will be coming out with a Pirates of the Caribbean pack relatively soon! (hopefully using water!)

Hey!

I’m going to be putting my levels separate from the community levels,
so that you get more levels to check out every week that I’ve published a level!




News:

LittleBigLand has started a competition called “LBL Crown Competition #2: A LittleBigLand Fairytale”. The idea is that you make a level based on a fairytale (e.g. Snow White, Cinderella, etc.) but you have to put a twist on it LittleBigPlanet style.
(For more info go to www.littlebigland.com)




Community levels to check out this week are:

VERY cool series of levels…
Well done, detailed, fun, moderately difficult, unfortunately suggested for single player… still really cool, make sure you check them all out!


Volcano Survival
By: Jedi_1993

A really fun and challenging survival challenge!


Sub Metropolis
By: hallm3

Interesting series so far… he’s kind of creating an alternate storyline; type in his PSN instead of the level name though, because you have to go through an intro level.




Tips and Tricks

How to make an ‘And’ switch.

1. Place a piece of ‘dark matter’ on the thin layer.
2. Then place a piece of ‘dissolve’ on the same layer.
3. Place another piece if ‘dissolve’ on the same layer.
4. Place two ‘magnetic keys’ on the pieces of ‘dissolve’.
5. Attach the two switches that you’re using to one ‘dissolve’ each.
6. Place a ‘magnetic key’ switch on the ‘dark matter’
Voila! an ‘And’ switch!

I’ve decided to try to post an entry every Friday.

Tips and Tricks

How to make a ‘permanent switch’

1. Take some ‘dark matter’ and place a small square of it somewhere out of sight.

2. Then place some ‘dissolve’ above the ‘dark matter’.

3. Place a ‘magnetic key switch’ on the ‘dark matter’ and place a ‘magnetic key’ on the ‘dissolve’ and wire up whatever switch you’re using to it. Then connect the ‘permanent switch’ to whatever you want permanently on/off and there you go! A ‘permanent switch’!

My First Post

Hey all you sackboys/girls!
My name’s Tristan and I hope you like my blog!

Just so everyone knows, because I am just starting
out I don’t know if I’m going to do a weekly or
monthly blog.

What I’ll be doing in this blog is trying to help new happy gadders, as well as the older ones,
with all of their LittleBigPlanet needs.



O.K. to get things started I’ll give you a bit of news:

I’m guessing that most of you have seen or played a
level that says that there’s going to be water in
LittleBigPlanet some time in the future; well if you
go onto the official LittleBigPlanet website
(www.littlebigplanet.com) and go to 'media'
they have a teaser trailer for it, so they obviously
are coming out with it… I can’t wait!




This week’s/month’s community levels to check out are:

LittleBigCalculator
By: Bottle_Gamer

This level was really cool because they actually made a working calculator, and just when you think that’s the coolest thing since ice-cream you get to check out the actual calculator!

Escape from jail
By: Stunkel

A very well done jail escape level…
although it could use a bit of fine-tuning!

35 Floors till your safe
By: Broxy2000
A VERY well done bomb survival challenge, especially fun in multiplayer.




Tips and Tricks


Here I will give you tips on how to do things like
shrink checkpoints and such.

How to shrink things that you aren’t usually
able to:

1. First copy whatever you want to shrink.

2. Then place an emitter.

3. While you’re telling it where to emit the object you
can shrink it.

Voila! You can now shrink anything!


How to make invisible material:

1. Go into your popit.

2. Select “dark matter” or if you don’t want it to float select “rubber” or “polystyrene”.

3. Shrink it down as far as it will go.

Voila! Invisible material!


If you just couldn’t make sense of what I
just told you then go into your pod and do a
search for which one you didn’t understand
and put “tutorial” at the end and you should
get a few.
