Sackboy Papercraft

Here’s something for you to make while we finish the game (we are working very hard, honest! The beta-trials are keeping us especially busy).

If you create and colour a sackperson you are especially proud of then take a photo and send it to hello@mediamolecule.com. I’ll post a gallery of our favourite submissions in a couple of weeks.

Edit: The mouth is quite tricky! Here’s a photo of what you should end up with: Papercraft Head

Dear Sackboy,
Will you go with me?
[ ]Yes
[ ]No
[ ]Maybe, try the beta first to see if I like you.

Your patiently waiting love, SpkD

SpkD | July 10th

I’ll buy an Xbox if don’t let into the beta :)

Awesome stuff.

Two quick questions.

1) Any word on the Sackboy plushies? :)

2) Any word on giving a few of your fans some invites? :D

Huge fan of you guys, if you need more beta testers I’d be ever so grateful! :)

Ah well, back to waiting patiently.

I think you have to be either a employee of Sony to be in the BETA or be picked to be a BETA tester on playstation forums. But I may be wrong. :)

Ethan | July 10th

I’ve been excited for this game for the past year. I’ve also payed real close attention to every bit of detail on the game published.

I think this is the biggest release this year… maybe next year too… and the year after. This is because of the user created content, it will keep coming like youtube videos.

Can’t wait for littlebigplanet, i’ve already got my copy on pre-order. I hope i end up in the beta one day, that would be a dream.

I am dying to get this game, i got a ps3 last month partly so i could get lbp later this year, plz plz make it a public beta, or send some beta keys to ur ohh soo deserving fans :P

I’ll be glad if you count with me as part of the beta testers. I play games since 92, I think I could help you reporting bugs.

Nice to see LBP trying to see the final light and approching it’s release. Good job and good game MM.

WOW , how can we be in the beta, I would give everything to be in it

I just need to see a Little Big Planet icon on my ps3 and that would make me happy until the release of the real game:P

And like everyone, any word on the Beta?

Lightmare | July 10th

How do I put this together??

nasg | July 10th

My children have gone to bed late due to this… still, it’ll be good practice for when the game launches!

Thanks.

Don’t have a ps3 yet saving up, but i already preorderd this game XD.

I’ll enter a sackboy that should be fun >=). I’ll make something like uh, a… i’ll think of something -.-.

XeKia | July 10th

I’m a very huge fan of creative games and I admit that Little Big Planet is one of the greatest creative games on this era and will rock along the greatest games of all time I hopefully wait patient for a chance to play the beta.

Daniel | July 10th

how do u make the paper sackboy, i cant do the mouth.

can u show a finished one or a guide to make it.

thanks

Jono | July 10th

Ahh, I’m new in this papercraft thing and I can’t figure out how to do the mouth, I glued all the other “1″s and can’t manage to do the mouth, could you please tell me how should it stay ?

Uziwood | July 10th

A few of us came up with the idea of conquering your offices and place you all in a little pen by yourselves sort of like they have at McDonald’s I guess…maybe give you a few lego bricks and soft pillows to play with while the rest of us play the game. We’re evil to the bone! :)

I’m having a really hard getting the mouth to work… I don’t understand where the v shaped 1 tabs are supposed to glue. Can anybody help out?

Myrn | July 10th

Aw. I have to go to work. I got the arms cut out tho. :]

Also, I love you guys so much haha. My PSN is LittleBigRyan. :]

LittleBigRyan | July 10th

This should really be made available as a sewing diagram. I’m sure I would be able to convince my girlfriend to sew one up for me, with a few changes here and there to make it specific to me.

Mindedone | July 10th

What a cool game idea… hope you guys can give the public something soon, cause playstation users are overly impatient especially due to the lack of exciting games… a year into its life…. so please help our boredom… :)

Jon | July 10th

Nice, you guys should make Sackboy Plush Key Chains, it would SELL like crazy as i would i want one

JPaN | July 10th

So the beta’s officially out, huh? It’s good to see things have come so far. I’m looking forward to LBP more than R2 at this point. Tried to make it to the PlayStation truck in Baltimore just to check out the game, but plans changed. I hope to hear a lot more next week at E3! Oh, and if you feel like making my day, you could let me in on that little beta of yours (what, you thought I’d write a whole comment and not ask?)! ^_~

Marcellino | July 10th

Damn… now people will see me as a weirdo for printing out papercraft stuff in class, hahahah

Thanks!!

BTW, this is completely off-topic, but who is the emo-looking blonde guy in the ‘about’ page that says Konnichiwa?

-Love

yeah, same problem as the other two cant figure the mouth out Help please.

Will G.A.P. members be able to get into the beta?

Chidesd | July 11th

Hey guys, I have to admit I’m very anxious for some new info on the beta as well, especially any news on how a PS3 owner could get into said beta. I’m crossing my fingers and hoping we get some answers. LittleBigPlanet is one of my highly anticipated games of 2008…give…us…it! lol

T_Tokyo | July 11th

This is such a fantastic idea. Well done MM. You obviously have a great sense of fun. Keep that fun going, and LBP will only improve because of it.

I can’t believe the people angling for beta invites. Geez guys, don’t you have any sense of decorum? Not that I’d refuse a beta invite myself. Heh.

DeeK | July 11th

Oh, and I thought I heard some where around teh internet that users will be able to add there own custom texture for sack boys. You know, like if I took a picture of my blanket, I could put the image on my ps3 and use it as a texture. Any truth to that?

Oh and like the others above me, If you guys are looking for some more beta testers, add me.

Looks like i’ll be getting my daughters crayons out for this, i’m glad i havent seen anyone on my PSN Friends list playing this - I would have to remove their toilet parts with a rusty blade. Come on October, get a bloody move on! Me and my daugther want LBP in our grubby hands.

Check out my sackboy: youtube.com/littlebigmaniac

Was there a signup for beta or are these more closed trials?

djspark | July 11th

What a lovely piece of creative sackery (sackboyery?). This little fella sure gets around! I’ll have to make some pictures of my own sackboy engaging in questionable acts…

YEAH finally! God i hope sooo much i get into the beta :D

Please MM, even it isn’t your call who goes in and who isn’t, let me in! I’m the leader off the Official LitteBigPlanet club on the most populair website of the Benelux! Check the website link to see the club :) (It’s all in Dutch so :))

It would be a real honour to give the members a inside look off what the game is going to be :) Sort of a preview.

I want to play LBP so bad. At first I thought it wouldn’t be that great but now it’s my top game for this year. How do we sign up or get into the beta once it gets opened to more people. I wanna play.

PSN: Unhappycampr

Unhappycampr | July 13th

Good times, I’m gonna make one of these (maybe a few actually) for my desk at work, hopefully my knuckles wont be rapped by “not adhereing to the “clear desk policy”". Will post pictures.

A lot of people asking about how to get on the beta, it’s posted on the site under the “contact us” section.

One thing, I know I can’t email my “idea” to you guys, but I’ll say it here.

You’ve said you tried using 3d but it wasn’t as good as 2.5d, and I fully agree with that decision. But I would still like to see something along those lines (personally). Maybe you could go with what they did on Super Paper Mario? Use 3rd person (level specific) following along the platform, the game would be exactly the same, just with an added feature that, I think, would really contribute something special to the game play.

Anyway, I sent my CV to you, can I have a job, pleeeeease? I tell bad jokes, bake chocolate crunch (like at school) and will give you a puppy! Good times!

Sean Quinn | July 13th

Wow nice… Wish I was in on “The BETA” it’d be undoubtedly great.

Scarfall | July 18th

Alex, can you confirm this interview I found:

Alex Evans, Co-Founder, Media Molecule: We’re ready for it, and this game just has to get out October. Mark (Healey) is having a boy soon and this bad boy has to be done before then.

WhatIfGaming: So, no delay…nothing? Solid for October 2008 on Blu-ray disc only?

AE: Yes. There will be no delay and it will be ready then.

WhatIfGaming: So the beta will take place September?

AE: You got it. Absolutely.

WhatIfGaming: So is it for underground members only or will there be a site for selection or something?

AE: It will be a public beta, but limited at the same time. We will disclose that info when we’re ready.

We would like to thank Alex Evans for taking the time to speak with us about LittleBigPlanet.

Is this true Alex?

Tigercat212 | July 18th

I’ll get to work right away on this! :O
To move away from beta requests (since I don’t live in the U.K. *Sad face*), WE NEED OUR OWN FORUM!

Seriously! It would be so awesome! ^_^

COOL GAME

ghamdikh1 | July 19th

3 quick questions.
1-does this game have some support for home service.
2-will you be able to install the game in the hard drive to reduce the loading time.
3-does this game have i support for youtube uploading.

ghamdikh1 | July 19th

Congrats on your award molecules.

Awesome, can’t wait to make this when I get home… I’ll go dunk it under water for about 3 hours just so I can fill that void inside me… hoping there will be water…

Natt | July 19th

god ……………. i keep watching the trailers, over, and over, and over again. i’ve got whatever trailers i can get my hands on and still have not had enough. I WANT TO PLAY THE GAME!!!! arggh!!! >_< omg this game is gonna kick sooooooooooooooooooo much ass! PS3 is gonna sell a pack load and people waiting for the PS3 to hit 399$ and for Little Big Planet to get released! you guys should do some bundles and do some Special Editions. I want the sound track!!

LittleBigPlanet SUCKS NOW!!!

Why do they allow people to charge money???

Even if they have to be approved first it still SUCKS.

It’s Play, Create, Share.

NOT Play, Create, SELL.

It’s about SHARING! NOT SELLING!

Does Youtube charge money for videos?

If all of the good levels cost money. Then it’s bullshit.

Everyone should be able to enjoy the creme de la.

The fact that the option is there is terrible.

I see developers choosing the really cool levels and slapping some stupid fee on it. Sony, why must you do this!!!!

It’ll hurt the LBP community as people won’t build levels for its wellbeing, but rather for their own profitable gain.

There will be no incentive to make free levels anymore.

izomax | July 20th

MM/Sony better rethink about charging levels if they don’t want to kill the community!

Lots of unhappy people now!

izomax | July 20th

I have to ask, is it true what i hear about users eventually being able to charge for their own content?

http://uk.playstation.com/games-media/news/articles/detail/item111520/

If so, you guys really may want to consider this idea carefully. People’s hype levels on forums such as Gamespot, IGN and Neogaf have already dropped significantly over this. It doesnt seem to be a very popular idea.

Matt Igoe | July 20th

Can you guys release a demo of this game, please? Just give me a blank room with a few customize options. You can even put before the demo “This is a work in progress and it subject to change”. Motorstorm put a demo out months before it was released and it did a lot of good. You would make a ton of people happy, and it would not only convince people who are on the fence about getting this game, but would introduced an even bigger fan base to more causal people who don’t read about games and have no clue what this game is. You could even ask someone from Sony to come up to your offices and put it together, that way you don’t have to take someone off development for it. Trust me, and when someone goes to exit the demo (like that will happen, lol) you can have some screenshots and stats like “Over 2,000 items to choose from” or something along those lines. Please take this into consideration. I mean they already have buses driving around where you can play the game, plus not everyone will get into the beta so they will still have this. You don’t even have to put online co-op in (so no server stuff), just offline co-op. This could do a lot of good for the game. I mean every time people see videos of LittleBigPlanet they get more and more excited, but if they got to play a small snippet of it they would go crazy and just want more. I swear if you put a demo out the hype for this game would double or even triple! And that’s saying a lot for how hyped this game is already. Please don’t brush off this comment like it’s nothing. It would be better than Christmas morning if I woke up Thursday to see a LBP demo waiting on the PS Store. Please, Media Molecule. Please Alex and Mark, I don’t how much longer of this I can take.

Pete M | July 20th

GET RID OF THE PAY FOR LEVEL IDEA I DONT EVEN CARE THAT MUCH BUT IF A PLAYER CREATES A LEVEL HE SHOULDNT HAVE THE OPTION WETHER HE HAS TO QUALIFY OR NOT TO MAKE SOME PAY FOR HIS LEVEL!

rooslin | July 21st

… and you folks think that they will just rethink it just because you say so? Rubbish! Look at the Appstore fot the iPhone. It works - there are still tons of free apps.

One thing I am concered though are the memory constrains. After watching one demo from e3 2008 there was a complexity bar indicating how many objects are allowed in a level. Despite the claims of Alex it filled pretty fast. I’d hate to have all this possibilities and only little place to unfold them. Also allowing only 4 players a once indicates more contrains.

Well, let’s hope for the best.

Stefan

thats awsome! i’m making my sackboy toy right now, and i’ll hang him right next to my reciept for my preorder of lbp!

Ari L. | July 22nd

thank you

So my comment about the terrible news of the micro transactions got deleted? Fine.. Be that way. See if I care if you can’t take criticism.

Syler | July 22nd

If it is true that there will be a charge for user content…
then i’m not that sure anymore of buying lbp… paying for a game that you already bought… that stinks…

but if you leave that feature out… me and alot of ppl would be happy to buy lbp

ahhhhhhhhhhh id love to be in the BETA! ive been waiting SOOO LONG for this game! i keep coming online to research more infomation on it! but everyday, its the same…. :(

im sure the beta would calm me down tho!
plz plz xx
PSN Cemrok

Cemadee | July 22nd

Woh, there seems to be a lot of hostility/negativity in regard to the chargable content. I think it would be wise to sit back and see how it works first before criticising, you never know, it may work out great (imagine you make a mint from something you create). And even so, if it doesn’t prove popular I’m sure they will re-evalute the concept, but you’ve gotta give it a try before you make any real judgement as only then can you really have an informed opinion on the matter, at the moment it’s purely guess work.

I personally am intrigued by the idea, I’m not jumping in joy (or dispare), just takinh a step back from making a judgement until I can try it out.

Sean Quinn | July 24th

Im sry but its from one extream to the other, first your begging to get into the beta then your moaning about charging, tbh if its a good game you get what you pay for. just wait and see how the game turns out, im really looking forward to this game as its finaly a break from the stupid first persion shooter montarge generation. Keep up the great work Mm :D also i made about 5 of these paper templates, Photo shop is amazing for cutomising them aswell :D I made a normal sack Boy changed the colour and eyes and made a sackgirl, and then put aload of graffiti on the next few :D !!!
