Congratulations to everyone!!!
Our sincere thanks for everything you do to help make this site the special place that it is.
And a GIANT THANK YOU!!!! to our current staff of volunteers for helping everything run smoothly.

b-coli, EnochRoot & rkNrolla (and off course our lovely team!)

Keep posting and having fun folks! Next round of promotions due end of may!

    

As the rustling leaves and spooky spectacle of Halloween fades in the lengthening winter nights...
Cold winds and snowflakes herald the approach of Christmas festivities ahead!

But something else is emerging from the shadows!
A brand spanking new, sparkling, seasonal Crown contest for everyone to enjoy some CREATE-SHARE-PLAY fun!

As this is the first major Crown Contest to be co-hosted by two fun filled fan sites the winner will receive a shiny LBP crown to add to their Christmas decorations and two...yes TWO!! Exclusive in game winners pins!


- Creators are required to create an original, previously unpublished level of any genre combining all the best elements of the two seasonal celebrations. Halloween hobgoblins and happy elves, platforming pumpkins and partying penguins all come together to share the fun!

- The level must have gameplay/scoring elements.

- One level slot/thermo per entry. No level-linking of any kind. (Here's how to do this without losing your jaw-dropping visuals)

- Originality is the name of the game.  That means Nightmare Before Christmas or generic zombie survival levels will be sternly frowned upon!

- Register your participation [here] and publish your level between Friday 14th - Mon 17th December, including the prefix SSCC at the start of your level title.


Runner up prizes for players and some other surprises in store too!

Have fun and feel free to post any questions in this thread.

____________________________________________________________

Frequently Asked Questions
(more to come)

If I build a level with a friend, does my friend get a crown too?
The account on which the winning level is published gets the crown, but the two exclusive pins can be arranged for both you and your friends.

Is this contest for LBP Vita?
It's just for LBP2 (or LBP1) on the PS3.  There will be some contests for Vita in the new year.

Are participants required to sign up on both sites?
No. You can register your participation in the contest here on LBN, or on LBPC, or on both sites if you feel like it.

Are short cutscene intros alright as long as they're not split through level links?
Yes, that would be fine.

   Another fun filled year has drawn to a close and it is with great pleasure we give thanks and acknowledgement to some of the special folk who have provided so much fun and inspiration last year in the  LittleBigNetwork Annual Awards, a celebration of all the PLAY-CREATE-SHARE fun that makes LBP such a wonderful gaming experience.
  A variety of award catagories  recognising creative achievements, random acts of fun and lunacy that give the forum its unique ethos and atmosphere.

Hi! Egbert here!

 

Egbert is just your average Gallus gallus domesticus (chicken) who prefers to speak in the third person. He likes to play, create, and share just like every other sack person in the Little Big Universe. He’s just a simple friendly guy who likes to hang out with his peeps and have fun. He is super chill, but also a bit lazy, thus his extra weightage (Don’t tell him he looks hefty or else he’ll go berserk like the chickens from Legend of Zelda!) He likes all kinds of music, and his favorite food is… chicken, with hot sauce of course. Oh and he hates the “Why did the Chicken cross the road” joke. He finds it offensive.

 

Egbert’s goals if he wins Mascot Election 2013 is to provide fun levels he and LBN have brought to the sacklings of LittleBigPlanet through level hubs and various events. Vote for Egbert! Vote for Hot Wings! Vote for Play, Create, and Share!

LittleBigPlanet Vita

I’ve been eagerly anticipating the release of LittleBigPlanet Vita fromTarsier Studios and Double Eleven for quite some time, and like many of you I’ve purchased the PS Vita hardware just for the occasion. When the chance presented itself to write up my thoughts and impressions of the game for this forum, I leapt at the chance.

As some background on me, I’ve been playing LittleBigPlanet 1 since it was in public beta before it was released to retail. I been playing the series fairly constantly up through LBP2 and beyond. I love creating, playing exceptional levels and spending my days immersed in the various LittleBigPlanet forums with other members of the community.

So it is with this perspective that I hungrily dove into LittleBigPlanet Vita. My goals at the start were to compare and judge the game experience of the Story Levels, the challenge of the obstacles and bubble collection and then finally how create modes stacked up to the predecessors of the series.

Story levels:  Not LittleBigPlanet Lite

I played the previous handheld iteration of LittleBigPlanet and while enjoyable it still felt distinctly smaller, different from the bigger console experience. The current generation of portable gaming devices has not helped improve my feelings that when you shrink the size of the gaming medium you also reduce the amount of immersion, grandiosity and longevity of the game.

LittleBigPlanet Vita is an interesting dichotomy between the enjoyable nature of LittleBigPlanet and the implementation and projection of the series onto the PS Vita hardware. As I played through the story levels I was struck time and time again by the ‘feeling’ of LittleBigPlanet that exuded from the set design, the joyful and off-beat humour, the cast of quirky characters and the return of all the familiar platforming tropes.

At the same time I was also bumping fingers against the differences in the feel and response of the Vita versus a dualshock controller as well as the inclusion of touch based gaming controls. However it didn’t take very long to come to terms with the layout and wrap my fingers around the additional control scheme such that the platform hardware didn’t get in the way of the LittleBigPlanet experience.

Rather than clutter up the game I felt just the opposite in sections, the additional features of the Vita added a new layer of complexity and challenge that I really enjoyed. The touch based controls didn’t ever get overused nor overly gimmicky and felt right at home with the flow of the level and the game as a whole.

The characters of the story mode were memorable though there seemed to be some recycling of the LittleBigPlanet 2 character archetypes, the egotistical bumbler, the wacky oddball, the sweet female and so on. There are some fresh new faces though with the dour clown Mrs. Sunshine being my favorite of the lot for her dry, gloomy, introspective and delusional persona.

The story mode ticks off all the LittleBigPlanet check boxes, inventive storyline, characters in peril, exotic locales, multiplayer coop sections, larger-than-life boss sequences and more platforming, challenges and unique layouts than you can shake a stick at.

Living on the PS Vita has in no way diminished the enjoyment, challenge and scale of the game.

All the platforming and challenges you can shake a stick at:

The progression and challenge curve is just as you’d expect with the tutorials starting out in the form of the first creature curator world belonging to Colonel Flounder. After that the introduction of new power ups and touch mechanics is measured and steady throughout the game and I never felt that the sequences were cluttered or dependent on too many different mechanics at once.

The levels throughout seem to be of mild to moderate difficulty and the added goals of 100% prize collection and acing all levels is still as tantalizing and difficult in spots as in previous LittleBigPlanet games.

I was happy with the diversity of different types of gameplay in LittleBigPlanet Vita and I never got bored or distracted by repetition. Even though I’ve not scratched the surface of all the mini and arcade games I have no doubt that the game engine is capable and the tool set is diverse enough to enable just about any game type that can be imagined.

I had a busy days, limited game time and a burning desire to jump straight into create mode to play around with all the shiny new toys. Despite all of this I still enjoyed the story mode quite a bit. I feel that it ranked above the story mode in LittleBigPlanet 1 and was a bit more refined in some aspects compared to the story outing in LittleBigPlanet 2.

The bottom line for me is that LittleBigPlanet Vita feels like an evolution and progression over LittleBigPlanet 2 rather than a shrunken slice of the previous title’s essence.

Create mode:  The essence of LittleBigPlanet

After my first run through the story levels I jumped in to Create and started to wade through the tutorials. I love Stephen Fry and enjoy his talents and contribution to the series. But it was too much to sit through the 67 or so tutorials when I felt I had a very good grasp on nearly everything covered.

Thankfully the return of the “Unlock all tutorials’ button has graced the Vita counterpart and I was free to just visit the tutorials I wanted leaving others to be re-visited in case I ever stumbled into problems down the road.

My biggest concern going into Create was just how previously learned muscle memory would translate to the new control scheme on the Vita. With a few rapid, nearly unconscious twitches of my fingers on the dualshock controller I could change the grid size in LittleBigPlanet 2, I could switch to preview mode, flat mode, save the level, select the corner edit tool and so on and so on.

Just how would a person with the hundreds of hours of Create time over two Playstation bound LittleBigPlanet games make the transition to the smaller hardware and input screen of the Vita?

Unfortunately for this article I’m still puzzling that one out. What I can say is that the devil is in the details and that there is enough that is identical that any experienced creator can just jump right in. And there is enough devilish tid-bits that are different that any experienced creator cannot fail but to hit a few of them fairly quickly.

I do not suspect any LBP2 Create veteran can hit the Vita version at full speed in the way that nearly any LittleBigPlanet player will blaze into the Story levels will barely a hiccup. This isn’t unexpected however and I estimate, for myself, that it’ll take the first four to eight hours in create mode before I get  comfortable and start teasing out the intricacies.

I’ve not found any glaring inadequacies in the Create mode implementation, only differences in approach and layout. The addition of the touch controls can greatly improve the fluidity of your create time once you get used to them. There are so many little tweaks, such as the ability to type in values manually rather than using a slider, that will delight long time creators. Despite needing to relearn the controls it is hard to not be excited about the possibilities.

A few issues that have caused annoyances so far:

• The ordering of the tools in the pop-it, the power-ups, logic, item tweakers and so on are in a slightly different order than they are presented in the LittleBigPlanet 2 layout. It will take a little bit of time to learn the new order of items.
• An unfortunate consequence of playing on the Vita is that the display screen is much smaller than I’m used to playing with in Create mode on the PS3. I find that I’m often squinting unintentionally and need to make sure that I’m at the right level to see all that I need to see and still be able to see the detail.
• Sometimes the load times for copying levels, rewinding or similar actions takes a while. Longer than it seems it should but this may just be the differences in the hardware of the Vita and PS3.

The bottom line on create mode for me is that it will take some acclimation before I can really be comfortable. Somehow they’ve managed to get the experience and tools very close to the PS3 version while also adding in new tools, better methods to create and a ton of tiny improvements. None of the issues I’ve run up against has dulled my enthusiasm to tinker, build and create something that one day other people may play.

Play, Create and Share

Sharing levels and creations is the last of three pillars supporting the LittleBigPlanet philosophy. This is where all of you, the community, come into the picture and the reason that many of us are still playing LittleBigPlanet after all these years. As of the time of this article the online servers have not been enabled for the LittleBigPlanet Vita players so I couldn’t mess around with the online aspect of the game.

I’m just as anxious as anyone else to see how the sharing, downloading of games and management of the level system will be implemented over the initial roll-out phase of the game. I’m excited to see the tidal wave of levels that will come crashing into the imaginosphere and see what
trends emerge.

This is the most exciting time of any LittleBigPlanet release, the time when all the tools are fresh and the wonder and questions abound in equal measure. I look forward to see how the community will evolve and react to the game and to see the new directions we will go together.

Tarsier Studios and Double Eleven have done more with LittleBigPlanet Vita than just repackaging LittleBigPlanet 2. It is a loving creation by people who understand all the points that has made LittleBigPlanet the community and culture that it is.

LittleBigPlanet Vita contains new functionality, improvements over existing tools, exciting uses for the built in camera and touch controls, and above all the freedom to pick up and play it just about anywhere you find yourself.

Pod: TechNature (The Cyber Forest)

Story:

In a time long since forgotten, in a place far removed, Technology and Nature were at war with each other. Though the war was long it looked as if Technology would emerge the victor. All but destroyed Nature made its last stand striking a blow to the very heart of Technology. This rocked Technology to its very core and started the event known only as “The Cataclysm”. Defeated, but not entirely destroyed, Technology was scattered to the winds; and Nature, though victorious, lied dying in a world now torn apart by war.

Then from these ashes something new was born not of Nature nor Technology but rather a fusion of both. A new harmony was reached as this world rebuilt itself a new, with the speed and intelligence of Technology, fused with the longevity and wisdom of Nature.

No being is a better representation of this fusion that Tree Goth. Descent of the world tree and a super computer, Tree Goth seeks nothing more than the unity and harmony of all things. Being of the strong silent type he lets his actions speak louder than words, of course he could just be mute.

 

Likes:

• Standing in one place for excessively long periods of time, it’s a tree thing
• Vegetables, not to eat, he just enjoy the company
• Unity and Harmony

 

Dislikes:

• Talking, again he could just be mute
• Fire, being made of wood will do that to you
• Slimy things, no real reason their just icky

Howdy ya'll! It's time for another Pod and Costume Competition!

What's this? Another Mascot contest? Sadly, our old Mascot has passed through time, and has retired as our forums official Mascot. So now, it's up to YOU to find us a new Mascot!

By April 1st, you must create a unique Mascot (Costume) for the forum, along with it's habitat (Pod).

You may wish to include extra information, such as it's Name, Motto, Likes, Dislikes, or anything else your mind can imagine!

Creativity and Originality is always valued!

1st Place Prize is a PS3 game of our your choice and will be this years new Mascot, along with a nifty LBN Pin!

And for Runner-Ups, an assorted Prize Sack will be coming your way!

Start writing some sketches, creating costumes, and adding dazzling decorations to your Mascot so it can be the best it could possibly be in this years Mascot Pageant!

If you have any questions, contact Pookachoo, The Sexy Sack Man, and Schnuckelche!

Good luck to everyone!

What do you enjoy about LBP?
To date, LBP is the easiest/most fun interface I've found for creating my own interactive experiences (AKA, "videogames").  At its best, LBP has been a wonderful artist community, and a microcosm of the art world and entertainment industry.  I've been able to make things I couldn't make anywhere else, and be inspired/challenged by the works of so many talented, passionate people.  When I've needed help in any form, I've always been able to find it from someone, and I've gained many new friendships as a result, as well as the opportunity to be a friend or helper to someone else.

What annoys or frustrates you?
1. That MM seems to have all but given up on nurturing the community they've generated, in moving on to other business ventures.
2. That it's gotten harder and harder to make an impression with my work, because the majority of players are dazzled primarily by graphics, or are so used to the over-saturation of various generic gameplay mechanics that they don't appreciate being challenged by more original gameplay.
3. That the overall community experience has become so tainted by the majority of our less mature members.
4. That Sony owns the rights to everything I create in LBP, so I can't become too attached to it, or freely develop any of my own intellectual properties.
 

What do you value most about your LBP experience?
1. Having an audience for my creativity that truly appreciates it, because they know the effort involved from their own personal experience.
2. Connecting with others who have a similar passion for LBP, which I've found to be pretty much impossible in real life.
3. In general, being able to bring joy, help, and happiness to others, while doing something I love.
 

How often do you still play?
Not much recently.  I'd managed to stay obsessed with LBP for 5 years now, but after fully committing to 2 create contests back-to-back, along with spending a good portion of last year creating various content for other creators, I've been burned out and in need of a break.  Not sure if/when I'll get back to creating, but I still have a few unfinished ideas I'd like to see the light of day.
 

What are your hopes for future LBP releases?
More creator packs that introduce new gameplay mechanics, and not ones that require me to purchase additional hardware.

Say Hello to Captain Playbeard!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Story: Captain Playbeard is sort of like the mixture of LBP versions of a pirate and Robin Hood. He travels the seven seas of LBP in his pirate podship sampling and playing all the creative and imaginative levels that he can find and then he searces out all the zillions of sailing boats and town ports he can find that have a very alarming lack of creativity and imagination and are instead bogged down with bomb and shark survivals.

 

Captain Playbeard then shares all the wonderful creations he has found and even some he has created himself with all the such ships and towns he finds spreading the magic of PLAY CREAT and SHARE all over the seven seas.

He is not without problems though because the evil Queen Latinplayer loathes what he stands for and has placed a bounty on his head making him the greatest and most sought out outlaw on the LBP seas! Queen Latinplayer has filled teh world with Plagurism and unimaginative ideas and is now furious that Caption Playbeard is changing that!

 

Can Captain Playbeard defeat the evil queen and save the day? DO WHEALES POOP IN THE OCEAN!?

After a long wait, and a whole lot of confusion, I finally brought the theme to a beta stage.

It's not perfect, and over the next few weeks you'll notice some tweaks here and there, but I just wanted to put it out for everyone to use so that we can iron out as many problems as we can!

Some features I can name off the top of my head are the ability to rearrange forum categories and sidebar blocks. some of you are wonderwing what the heck I'm talking about.

Here's a picture to save some words



So this feature also goes for the side bar where the "Recent Topics" are and the "Donation" is.

We also have a button at the top that says "More" and that contains links to our Twitter and to Little Big Contests, which I know Sakura will love

I'm not a coding guy, and I'm 17 lol. Don't expect some proffesional stuff because I really don't know as much as you'd expect me to to pull this off.

This was a huge pain in the behind and there were countless issues I've been working on for days.

People complained about the site being too bright because of the white color, so this should take care of it.

I know this might be a bit confusing but after a day you'll be used to it. Trust me I've been looking at this darn thing for quite a while, its not as hard as it looks lol.

Please post any issues you encounter. I honestly can't promise that I can fix everything because like I said, I had the hardest time pulling all of this off, but I have signed up at another forum and If its something huge I'll ask for help.

Another Note: some things, such as the New Posts Indicator are gonna be changed soon. Theres an important piece that only rNr has control over so I need to get access to that, once I do I'll take care of the indicators and I'll fix your ranks so you guys have titles like the Mods and Admins do.

Mods and Admins have their ranks now because we go by a different ranking system. You guys go by a post count system which I can edit but I can't change the images for so you have to bear with me

Thanks to everyone and Enoch for giving me all the Admin powers and stuff so I can do all this for you guys!

Enjoy!

 

After long discussions and debates, the judges have finally concluded and concurred with eachother's decisions and it's safe to say.. we've finally chosen a mascot whom will represent LittleBigNetwork, as well as a few other sacks who did an excellent job here. The runner ups took a step further in this competition. The amount of originality, uniqueness and a LBN spirit shined brightly within these entries, and fortunately, we noticed it.

 

In no particular order, the runner-ups in the 2013 LittleBigNetwork Pod/Costume Mascot Competition is..

You both have done a fantastic job with your pod and costume mascots. Your achievements was very well deserved, and for that, you'll be awarded your own Sackboy Plushes. Congratulations!

 

And now, for the winner, whom did an excellent job with very clean visuals, such a bright LBN spirit, and a definite sackboy who will become a mascot to represent us.

 

The winner of the 2013 LittleBigNetwork Pod/Costume Competition is..

Your entry was amazing! Clean visuals, aesthetics, and a very bright and beautiful LBN spirit. Your costume has been chosen to be the one whom will represent LBN in 2013. With such efforts being presented in this competition, and in spite of this achievement, you have won yourself an exclusive LBN pin, and a PS3 game of choice! 

 

 

Thank you for participating in this mascot competition! And congratulations for all the runner-ups and the winner!  We greatly value all entries, and participants within this competition. With all your outstanding efforts, judging was complicated and very difficult. For all other entries: please do not feel discouraged. We will hopefully have another mascot in the not so distant future, which you can participate in. Before you know it, a competition may be swinging by. Keep your eyes peeled!  

 

Congratulations, and a big thanks for all folks interested!

As the LBP experience has evolved over the years, moving from one format to another...peoples perception of it may have changed. What is your opinion?

1. What do you enjoy about LBP?
2. what annoys or frustrates you?
3. What do you value most about your LBP experience?
4. How often do you still play?
5. What are your hopes for future LBP releases?

Give us a snapshot of your experience and views, hopes and dreams for the future of LBP?

 

What do you enjoy about LBP?

There are many aspects of this game that I enjoy. Playing new levels that break the boundaries of what you thought this game was capable of. Playing that awesome platformer that just makes you say WOW!

Interacting with the various community members via forums, ingame on Twitter etc. Sometimes, I think I spend more time on the forums and Twitter than I do actually playing the game. The community rocks!

 

what annoys or frustrates you?

Hrrmm. The community. I tell ya, as much as I love the community, it also is frustrating at times. I'm not even talking about the cool page spammers or online trolls, but just some of the stuff that the community members do.

One thing that frustrates me is when I see an awesome creator quit the game and they either lock or delete all their levels. WTH!? Because you're frustrated that you didn't get MMpicked or some other recognition, you deprive others from enjoying your creation. That really bugs me a lot. 

 

What do you value most about your LBP experience?

The friends that I've made 

 

How often do you still play?

Every. Freaking. Day.

 

What are your hopes for future LBP releases?

That I have enough money to get the PS4 so that I can continue enjoying this franchise and that they don't over complicate create mode so that'd you need an engineering degree to build anything. 

Hey Networkers!

I'm the Swedish tea lover named Amanda, also known as Puttatittut, "that girl with an awful lot of T's in her name" or just Put-Putt. You might've heard of me on the Pocket Moon Podcast, Survivor or from when I was a reporter on the Planetarium.

Except for invading Twitter with… well everything I do, I draw digitally using my Intuos 5 Touch tablet and Photoshop. I started drawing digitally about a year ago and have tried my best to improve my skills. Below are some thumbs of some of my artwork.



I am also a huge fan of music and am playing the saxophone in an orchestra (although I know how to play many other instruments). I also play music at home with my family.

Oh, and then I am a huge fan of video games. Being on this site, I guess you figured that out already. I also blog once a week about the games I play and how I liked them, mixed with a bit of stuff I do when I don't play. Feel free to check out my blog/website where I currently have a contest going on called the PutContest: Illustrate and Create! The competition was actually featured here on the site too!

I'm excited getting to know you all here at the site!


Amanda

~Puttatittut

thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm at a loss for words. This means a ton to me, it really does. I enjoyed every minute of it and just had a blast playing all these levels, so thank you to you all who submitted levels. Wow! I'm so excited!
Thank you to my friend Don Juan for all of his hard work as well.
