We know it’s not Thursday, but we can’t help but to highlight a few of our favorite tutorials and creations of the week.

So without further adieu, here are some of favorite Workshop and creations built by our dedicated LBP members.

Featured Workshops

How to make a zipline
 
 
 
Need a zipline transporter for your SackBoy?  Gians2007 shows us how it’s done in his step-by-step video on creating a SackBoy hanging zipline.  

Animation
 

A highly creative level and video created by SubGnosis, be sure to check out his two dimensional animation built in LBP.  We especially like how much detail he goes into with breaking down the creation process.  

LittleBigCounter

Another masterful creation using switches and emitters in LBP, similar to the infamous LittleBigComputer, tuxsbro puts his own spin by building a counter that counts up or down and stops and 0 and 00.  

Level / Objects

Top 10 ways to die – Episode 4

As much as we hate to see SackBoy be burned, electrocuted or explode, we can’t help but be humored for ChilledChaoz video collection of Top Ten ways to die.  

LittleBigHome


One of the most detailed level to date within LittleBigWorkshop, X-NOBODY-X takes his Street Fighter – Chun-Li costume on an adventure through his LittleBigHome, filled with trapped doors and hidden surprises.

Elemental Temples

We love micro-levels, especially ones that are driven with a story and focus.  Stuber presents a set of five micro-levels on four different elements.  Battle your way through the first four levels to gain mastery and use it to defeat the Great Temple.  Truly awesome!

Hey all try my level, 9to5 I just published it after testing it a few times with buddies. It's a construction based level with a compactor, front end loader, big dumptrucks and a couple of surpises. Not really sure where else to post this?!

Needless to say, it’s been a hectic year of Mm and Sony, but it’s also been the most exciting and unforgettable experience for everyone involved with LittleBigPlanet.  Another year has passed, and we are all very much looking forward to spending the holidays with our loved ones.

In the spirit of the holidays, we’d like take this moment to thank the LittleBigPlanet community for their constant support, feedback and participation with the LittleBigWorkshop.  The site is only possible due to the endless support of our LBP fans and devoted community.  Your creations and contribution to the LittleBigWorkshop continues to amaze and astonish us, and it only fuels our imagination to provide more content, challenges and exclusive information to the community.  While we are all taking a little holiday break to spend time with our family, we’ll continue to monitor the LittleBigWorkshop from home and provide periodic updates to the news site when possible.  

From all of us at Sony and Mm, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

yea, that was me who suggested sound import. Just think about, Limitations are endless, a proper soundtrack could boost a level fun by a lot. And if people used inaproppratie music, then moderate the level just like with everything else.......and if people use annoying music, then just dont play the level......so get on that. Next update would be nice to have that. If not that, then please provide us with a vider variety of soundtracks.....the same overplayed 15 soundtracks are getting old.

As most of you may have heard from the PS Blog, Ryu, Chun-Li, Guile and Zangief have received a SackBoy makeover and officially joining the world of LittleBigPlanet.  For all you die-hard fans that gave up their life savings and significant other to play Street Fighter back in the day, this is your opportunity to relive your favorite past time in LittleBigPlanet.  With all of us being such fans of Street Fighter, we can only imagine the custom types of “Hadoken” and “Sonic Booms” you guys will create using the in-game emitters and switches. 

So line up those quarters from your coin-up days and pick up your favorite Ryu, Chun-Li , Guile or Zangief character costume for $1.99 each, or ALL 4 Costumes for $5.99 in our Street Fighter Costume Pack.

And to truly relive your Street Fighter experience, be sure to also download the Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix now available on the PlayStation Network

Happy Thursday!  

Time to highlight and to give props to our dedicated LBP members that impressed us with their brilliant creations and tutorials on the LittleBigWorkshop.  

Check out our spotlights for this week:

Featured Workshops


Simple Cable Car
 

Well known within the LBP community, Disparager puts together another brilliant tutorial on the basics of a sky cart cable car.  With a full commentary and step-by-step instructions, we can only imagine the numerous types of cable cars you guys will create after watching the tutorial.  Check it out!

Switch Primer


Go back to the basics with knmburton’s video on the possibilities of switches and how they can be used with pistons, winches, motor, wobble bolts and even lights.

LBP Randomizer


If you want to add random events to your levels, like flashing disco lights, check out this workshop.  Inspired by another community member’s creation, themanchicken creates his own randomizer by using an ingenious combination of magnetic key switches, wires and pistons.

 

Featured Level


Sky Diving SackPerson


If you are scared to do this in real life, Covertaction shows us how you can go "extreme" and jump out of a perfectly good aircraft in LittleBigPlanet.

Rollercoaster


For another ride on the wild-side, check out Andriesc's Rollercoaster!  HOLD TIGHT!

SackTulla


Want a different way to "creep" around LittleBigPlanet?  Then the SackTulla might be the ride for you.  From the mind of javier_riquelme

IMPORTANT: The Rollercoaster level (actually called Roflercoaster) was stolen. My friend RockIsSponge made that level during the beta, it is still available, and I and many others helped playtest it at the time. THE USER CLAIMING TO HAVE MADE THIS IS A THIEF. Please go and see for yourselves and remove this charlatan, he deserves no praise whatsoever.
