The latest LittleBigPlanet 2 trailer from Media Molecule shows off some of the games tools and storytelling features.
On November 16 2010, be prepared to create whole games in addition to your usual platform levels. And remember, those approx. 3 million levels from the first game will still be playable on LBP2!
I have published my second LittleBigPlanet level and this time it was made with players in mind.
My first level was just a stress-test of the LBP creation-engine and wasn’t meant for playing, but I managed to incorporate some gameplay elements. Now that I know what LBP is capable of, I decided to (as I always try to do) create something original. What I did is something I have never seen before in all of the levels I’ve played online.
Design Theme: “Will different things happen everytime you play?” What I tried to accomplish by that statement is to create a world that changes based on random events and also by what the player does. In other words, if you do something…it triggers something later on. Sometimes you may not be able to see what you’ve triggered and most of the times, you don’t know what you’ve triggered because everything blends seemlessly into the environment.
Visuals/Story: There isn’t really a story. The visuals are pretty dark, gruesome, bloody, hellish and they were designed spitefully so to invoke the ‘madness’. What the level illustrates is an art. It’s about a journey of a Perfectionist’s mind during the initial, middle and final stages of his terrible failure at something. This is how my mind looks like when something goes wrong. It can quickly heal, or it can get worse depending on how deep I go in thought. Personally, it’s a painful experience that I tend to go through often because of my aim for perfection at everything. Caution for little children as the content is deeply horrific…for them.
Gameplay: I have made a spoiler-full guide to answer everything necessary for ‘completing’ the level. Please don’t read it unless you play the level a few times first. There is a lot of programming done in this level to keep track of everything. There is a sensible ranking structure that reads all major events that happen. The level has no real difficulty…though some parts are tricky if you’re not accustomed to the LBP-physics. But, I’ve simplified everything for anybody to pick up and play. Another cool gameplay feature is the goal of obtaining the highest score possible. The entire design of the level is based on this idea. So, while the things you do affect other things, these things are merged into the bubble-scoring structure and so you cause your own score.
So, you have a reason to boot up LBP and help me get my last trophy. Heart me if you like my design, heart the level if you like it…and please rate reasonably. Remember that a higher rating means that more people get to access my level easily.
I pretty much ‘demand’ comments/questions/thoughts from you if you played the level. I recommend playing several times to appreciate and understand the design fully. Simply aim for the best rank, a high-score or just for the artistic experience.
Thank you and I appreciate feedback or anything on this thread: LBP Level – Odyssey of Dementia

PlayStation Network has been churning out amazing after amazing downloadable games for everyone to enjoy ever since the network launched in ’06. These games don’t just make themselves…there are hard working indie developers that through creative minds and passion for innovative gaming sculpt these games into the gems you see on PSN today.
One of these indie developers and my personal favourite are the PixelJunk team from Japan, Q-Games. These guys have made three of the most popular games ever to hit the PlayStation Store, and the names of these games are easily recognised…PIXELJUNK!
From fast paced Racers, to tower defense Monsters and to the soothing Eden, Q-Games has created some of the best downloaded games I have ever played, and based on feedback from personal friends and comments on the internet, these games are favourites among many.
Just recently PixelJunk Monsters was reborn as a new title for the PSP system, but as for a totally new inventive game, nothing new since PixelJunk Eden in 2008. This month though, Q-Games is bringing forth another immersive title that aims to capture those idle funds from your PSN Wallet.
PixelJunk Shooter, announced earlier this year is almost out the door and the hype is increasing as the developer has taken alot of time to make this game as best as they could. In PixelJunk Shooter, the player pilots a subterranean vehicle that navigates through diverse cave-like complexes that are dynamic and o so visual. The goal of the game is getting through these detailed environments (water,magma,earth etc.) by manipulating the environment. There are also survivors in these environments that are to be rescued.
Enough talking for now and lets let the video speak for itself:
Reviews have already begun surfacing and they for the most part hold high praise for this new title.
The developer also has high hopes for this game and they have hosted a facebook group for some time now with the intention of becoming the first Million game seller on PSN. Its a very very steep figure to aim for as the digital download era is still fairly new, but we can all contribute to give Q-Games and the PixelJunk series the success it deserves.
PSNTT look forward to PixelJunk Shooter to be hitting the PlayStation Store (PS3) on Thursday, December 10, 2009.
A good few members joined up together in Playstation Home yesterday over a 3hour period.
We hung out for a while at my apartment, then afterwards proceeded to the Bowling Alley, for you guessed it, “Bowling”, and there were pool tables also 
. So lots of fun, lots of chat, lots of thrash talk about who sucks and who can and can’t play bowling in real life.
We then took a trip to Central Plaza and met up with some other folks. While we were there we all observed the floating PSP Go in the plaza and admired its beauty. Afterwards we headed back to the bowling alley for some more games then eventually travelled to the Uncharted 2 Village for some treasure hunting fun.
At about 9:30pm (from 6pm) the lime adjourned. It was really nice chatting with you all personally, and well the lime was good!
- Kycess
- ImmortalAntiHero
- Seiryuki2002
- NewEraOutlaw
- Dabadie1
- Slyguywhoeatspie
- Arcmanov
- Kghosty
- Agokillya
- The_Apprentice
Not bad for a spontaneous event. Hopefully in future we can have much larger numbers.
See pics from the event after the jump!

Most members would have gotten 3 emails about the Playstation Home Lime.
An error in the system caused this to happen and we’re really sorry about it!
Playstation Home is an integral part of PS3 and its quite underused amongst the local community, I can also see why. It is boring at times and just a gimmick you check out once in a while. (Though things have durastically changed since the 1.3 update.)
You know what can change this though? Trinis bussing a lime in Home.
So I propose a nice get together in home.
You all are invited to my Penthouse Suite, and we could get to know each other alot better. From there on we can all travel to the different Game Spaces in Home and simply have a good time.
Start by adding me, “The_Apprentice” and we’ll organise a nice lime in Home.
I’d like to have one as early as tonight but we’ll see how it goes. (Sunday 8th November at 6pm)
At the end of the day, the goal is to have a nice tight knit local community for gaming on PS3.
So please visit the forum thread:
http://boards.psntt.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=162
and post what time you think would be best for this lime and lets get this rolling.
