Hello everyone!




I haven’t published any levels this week…




News:

The Leprechaun Costume is back!

“Once a year the world turns a little bit Irish; rivers are dyed green and leprechauns roam the streets causing chaos, all in the name of St Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland.

St Patrick’s Day is next Wednesday, the 17th of March, and so this week we will be re-
releasing the Leprechaun outfit, so that Sackboys and girls everywhere may celebrate St Patrick’s day in style.

Head into the LittleBigStore on Thursday to grab your free Leprechaun outfit, and remember; everyone’s Irish on March 17th!”
(www.littlebigplanet.com)

PS Move LBP gameplay

“Sony revealed some gameplay of LBP being played with their upcoming motion controller now officially named Move. By the looks of it you will be able to manipulate the environment with the controller by clicking on bright pink dots. So you can for instance move a platform around so that the other player can proceed, or build a puzzle.”

Here’s the news! (And man, is it big!)

Sony acquires Media Molecule!
As of March 2nd 2010 Media Molecule is now a part of Sony!

(To read more click Here)

In other not nearly as exciting or shocking news:
The LittleBigWorkshop Monthly Create contest has announced the theme for this month’s level building challenge, and that theme is ‘sports’, a theme which we’ve been told does not include bomb survival levels!
The LBW Create contest resets at the start of each month, and the winner of each month’s challenge is rewarded with the much coveted Rare Prize Crown. To enter the contest, find out more details, or just check out some of the entries, head over to the LittleBigWorkshop forums.

Tips and Tricks

How to know when to play a level and when not to:

So, let’s say you are playing video games and have 15 minutes left until you have to go somewhere, that leaves you only enough time to play one level.

1. Make sure the level doesn’t have the tag ‘Long’.
2. Make sure that the description doesn’t say that it’s a long level.
3. Make sure that the difficulty of the level Isn’t “Hard”. (Easier levels tend to take less time.)
Have fun!

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.
