Gong Hei Fat Choi!
Light those firecrackers, collect ‘lai see’, and eat all the ‘niangao’ you can; you will need all the energy you can get for LBP’s latest update.
In case you’ve missed our update last week, in celebration for the Lunar New Year celebration that officially begins today, 1/26, we’ve got matching SackBoy and SackGirl Chinese New Year Costumes for FREE on the PS Store.
But don’t wait — much like the celebration of the Chinese New Year, this seasonal costume is available for 10 days only, and it may never be available again.
Once you have the Chinese New Year Costumes downloaded, and you’re looking for a creative way to battle and challenge your friends with the Chinese New Year costume, check out the latest video creation presented by Media Molecule for inspiration. We break down the art of Survival Challenges by giving the ultimate creator some insider’s tips, including:
- Ingredients – Recipe for all materials required to make your own Survival Challenge
- Moving Entrance – How to accurately place your Start and Finish entrances
- Crank Up The Difficulty – Proper methods in making your mechanics and contraptions more challenging through time
- Sequentialness – Learn how magnetic key switches can be used as event sequencers.
- Don’t Forget The Instructions – Make your levels more fun and accessible by adding instructions to give the player a form of guidance.
- Community Examples – Survival Challenges created by fans of the LBP Community. See if your creation was selected by Mm as a challenge example!
So bounce, jump, skip and descend your way to create your own LBP Survival Challenge.
Be sure to share them with your fellow LBP Community as this may inspire a future LittleBigChallenge creation.
From all of us at LBP, ‘Niannian youyu’ (a wish for grand and harmonious year)!

Hi, MM.
Can you please make it so when i export a picture of LBP. It’s in FULL HD.
Pics looks horrid when exported.
Unless i’m doing something wrong:)
Also could you please add a rectangle to the shape selection.
Excellent game.
My 4yrld loves it.

Great tips. I haven’t built a LBP level since earning the platnium trophy, but I really want to get back into it. When I get some free time i’ll be sure and try it out again.

Why did you let Sony under advertise this game guys? This game had such great potential and I saw only one ad about ten times. Marketing for this game should have been over the top.
Hopefully you realize that now and give KZ2 a little better treatment.

Oh that was sweet I want to play this game to. No money to get it. The job market sucks.

maxxy209 | January 26th, 2009 at 5:19 pm

Any good games for PS3 btw.

easyaspie00 | January 26th, 2009 at 5:24 pm
Cool beans! We haven’t gotten a new costume in a while, and this is a pretty cool addition. I like how you guys at MM are giving out costumes based on nearby holidays/events. I’m expecting a cupid SackBoy on the week of Valentine’s Day! :D

Hmm, I have a question. You guys have a link to a youtube video about that level Joe Vaux made. In the description it says:
“If you like Joe Vaux’s level, check out the other artist created levels in the Kustom Culture patch coming soon to LittleBigPlanet and help raise funds for the New Orleans Musicians Relief Fund!”
That’s really interesting… are we going to get more details on this soon?
Jeff Rubenstein replied on January 26, 2009 at 8:26 pm
That’s a yes, Delriach.

kdiep | January 26th, 2009 at 6:29 pm
wow that video was extremely interesting and made me really want to start making levels. Hopefully MM will do one for regular platform levels as well as I’m not really a big fan of those survival challenges.
Also, why do they insist on mandatory tutorials. I understand that we might understand the tools a lot more but at least make it optional and do like a help documentation, where you’ll just search for “switch triggers” if that’s what you want to find more about. It’s so annoying to go through all of those tutorials. I haven’t finished them all but I swear I’ve used like 30 min on them so far. I really want to start making levels but I only have so much time.

Enigma777 | January 26th, 2009 at 6:44 pm
wow, i never imagined making cool levels could be so hard… my only level involves a rocket cart going forward till it hits a wall….

Thanks for the update on the costumes Mark.

Yeah for free stuff thanks guys!

Midgetguy | January 26th, 2009 at 6:53 pm
COOL! I saw this video before (on other news sites) but I apparently missed the whole sequential time-line type thing…
Anyways, that’s a VERY nifty tutorial video! And… you know what, I might just make “The Ultimate Survival Challenge Carnival of DEATH!”
:)

DARK_JAK_911 | January 26th, 2009 at 6:56 pm
Whatever happened to pre-orders being exclusive to only those who pre-ordered? Bringing all the pre-order content to the public is really a slap in the face for those who pre-ordered.
What’s the point of having a special if it releases to everyone a few months later?
38
kaoskrayola | January 26th, 2009 at 7:08 pm
Great video and DLC. Are those Parsons levels up for the community to play?
39
ts23245 | January 26th, 2009 at 7:26 pm
This game is amazing. I always am excited about the next thing that Mm will bring out. I play this more than R2, MGS4, and Valkyria combined. The variety and the great online community keeps me coming back for more.

SFJAGS | January 26th, 2009 at 7:30 pm
I have a problem with my LBP game; I keep getting a message that says that my profile is too large and that I should delete items from my pictures, my levels, my customes, etc. I have deleted all pictures, customs and unhearted all levels and still get the same message while playing. There’s nothing else to delete. HELP, Please????
Jeff Rubenstein replied on January 26, 2009 at 8:28 pm
The team is aware of this issue and is working on a fix. Stay tuned to the LittleBigPlanet news site for more.

My progress(aces, prize completion) for the MGS pack still won’t save.

The_Apprentice | January 26th, 2009 at 8:00 pm
I’ve noticed you guys have been bending the Thursday Update rule and releasing content on various days. Mostly due to an event like Christmas, Chinese New Year etc.
But I like it…
I’d love to see content updates spread out throughout the week. Much better than anticipating a Thursday update.!
