The next update is Cornish Yarg, but you will have to wait a few weeks for that.
Can you elaborate how the categories find levels? Like, is busiest the most played in the last day or whatever? Cos I see some levels there that have a low number of plays. I think the busiest in the last day or whatever is more useful than the most played ever..
Is it me, or has Cool Levels changed (for the better) too?
Thanks so much MM! It’s so much better. I’ve already played a few great new levels I probably never would have found before.
Fantastic stuff! Keep up the great work.
Thanks for this, and all the hard work, and the MGS pack
and LBP
You’re doing a truly outstanding job guys. Seriously, brilliant work. And with the new MGS pack coming out next week, I’m in awe. I really can’t wait!
And I’d like to LMFAO at the Prince of Bel air theme in there. CLasic.
Brilliant stuff MM! Thankyou so much for the image export!
Merry Xmas!!!!
THANKS YOU!!! So, so mch MM, my god. This is awesome. Plus the new MGS pack with all of its glory, LBP GOTFOREVER. Thank you for fixing the light forgetting their color issue, that was a biggie to me. You were already my favorite studio, but now you’re waaay up there. <333!
awesome awesome, with emmental just out, this soon and the MGS pack at christmas, you guys are awesome!! Keep up the good work…im so excited! PAINTINATOR!
Just got me a PS3 last week and this game on Monday and been playing it a lot over last few days. It really is just superb and easily my game of the year. Just watched the Metal Gear trailer and cannot wait for that pack. The paintgun looks a lot of fun.
Great stuff, search works well, but my text is same colour as background when I type? Tried various colours, no change. Great that it just starts though!
Hi guys, first of all… Happy Christmas and THANKYOU for the patch.
Will the Paintinator be available separately or only as part of the MGS pack. I’m not really an MGS fan at all but would love the ability to create my own metal slug style shooter.
Thankyou for the updates and Metal Gear Solid content! If something similar is planned for Final Fantasy VII we’re in for another treat.
Keep working on the online netcode please.
I like the way you guys name the Updates
Great to see some of the top requested features implemented in an update! Thanks MM!
Could you guys please try to fix the thing where it says like this shape is getting too complicated and you are not able to add or erase anymore of the object, because that really gets frustrating some times.
Thanks,
Justin
After a, frankly, AWFUL launch and poor first month or so online, I’m delighted to see LBP starting to blossom. These fixes are welcome, and the search system is finally running. It’s like playing a different game now.
And the MGS content? JOY!!!! I’m sold.
Keep the fixes coming.
Thankyou so much MM for this update. I appreciate why you guys do, and I am happy for you guys for all your hard work. Keep it up! Now if we can only make levels with friends while online…
One more thing, but it’s a major one…Are you working on the ‘glue’ bug? Trying to unstick an item makes the whole level fall apart. Also, I’ve noticd that if you hang a large object (like a character made of cardbaord) from Dark matter using string, springs, or pistons, and then delete the dark matter, it can cause problems when you try and move the character. It acts as if the character is stuck to the background.
I want a Fresh Prince of Bel Air pack now! LOL
cool stuff this game is great but i find it hard to make cool levels. check out cool santa by matty-lfc01 tell us wat u think
Kung Fu Russ: Yes, both of those are on our list.
Ohhh … finally you guys mentioned about images / screenshots – related functions. ^^”. But sadly its just exporting >,<”
Any news on image importing? I mean use the photos you have on your hard drive in the game as stickers.
I love you and I want to have your sackbabies.
(Please play my level ‘The Ballad of Meat Monkey’. It’s fairly high quality, but nobody is playing it)
today, Mm bel-aired us all.
the only way this could get more epic is if the 1.08 patch came with a rickroll.
one can only hope.
I hope the gluing bug gets fixed because sometimes when I glue something on, it becomes un-attached like the trees, or when gluing something and something else un-glues and the level falls apart. Really annoying. But the rewind button helps for that. The only problem is looking for that un-glued object.
I also experienced a crashed within saving my level and pressing the PS button to quit the game to see a blue screen and the game saying (When restarting it and going to play it again) “Your data has been copied from another user, you can still play the game, but you cannot get trophies” and I am big fan of trophies just for the accomplishment of it. *Sighs* Well, I guess I’ll have to delete that file of mine if it doesn’t get fixed…
Sorry, I forgot to add, I have to delete my file to get the trophies to work again. Because right now if I do something and it corresponds to that trophy, I don’t get it.
<3 Fresh Prince.
Thanks for improving the game more and more after the launch (unlike other companies e.g. EA…). Hope there will be free downloadable levels from MM in the future, cause the story lvls are still the best ones. Or at least Sony should sell PSN cards in europe…
Thanks for the recent updates/fixes. Can we get an update on 1080i support? Keep up the good work.
very very good update. thanks for the info
that was quick info release, was guessing we wont get it for few more days lol
Hey guys! Excellent work, again.
Also with the MGS-packs. Instant buy on day one for me!I hope you and other developers/publishers will continue to cross great franchises. With this many great characters in the PlayStation-brand, there is but one thing to consider:
Super Smash… right.
One thing I’d like to see fixed is the issue of not seeing lightbeams when taking pictures. Especially with the new (and very nice) image export function (which I and many others will use to post pics on forums of our levels and progress).
Great update. Nice to see image exporting. All we need now is an image import tool
There’s another bug that should be fixed as well: If, for example, you glue an upside-down L shape to the floor, then glue some score bubbles to that shape, when you enter play mode and collect a bubble, all of the glue will unstick, and the whole level will collapse!
Hello Mm! Just wanted to say this update is very neat. Lots of great tweaks to an already amasing game
However the reason I’ve come here is to let you know of an unfortunate side effect. Nothing major but I’d love to see it fixed and I imagine telling you about it would be the best way to do that
The SCORE and PRIZE BUBBLES can no longer support stickers. You can still attach decorations to them but putting stickers does not work anymore. I’ve seen many levels that made use of this and they are now all blank (just the bubbles). Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass. So I hope this gets to your attention 
Again thanks for the update and I hope you can do something about the bubbles! Is this what the people of Bel-Air Living like? Hmmmmm this might be alright. 
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT THIS PATCH MADE MY DAY!!!! now it’s funnier and easier to get engaged with Little Big Planet Thank MM!!!!!!!!!!!
The new Search sistem is amazing!!!!! and now I can play AMAZING User created levels that I didnt know they exist!!!!! (And they are truly amazing!!!!!!, I’m shocked of those great levels)
Keep the AMAZING WORK!!!!! With Love. Luillo (aka PSN Luillin)
Wait! KAPBAM!
My level gives you a sticker as a switch trigger at the end of the level. The sticker is in a prize bubble that you collect. Playing through a second time lets you use this switch trigger to unlock secret areas.
Are you telling me that my level is now broken?
some of the fetures I’d like to see in the next update would be profile size increased because approx 4.7mb is too small for all the new stuff people create to share. the other is image import
Thank you for this update and all your hard work this year. The game has just improved dramatically and it was already brilliant.
Thanks again.
1080i/1080p upscaling support please! pretty please! ;-D
Image Export! now all you need if Image Import!
This update also fu**** chat system
1)Now it doesn’t show which played sad that, it only shows bubble to sackboy, if we are 3 or 4, and I don’t know by costume who is who, now I can’t understand who sad that.
2)Also when people who died try to to type now their text is on left corner and most of it can not be seen, totally fu*** chat for died people.
Bring this back MM and fast.
Epic win!!!!
I love you guys so much you don’t even know!!!
I cannot wait!!!!
Awesome update – really like the new search system and image exporting.
Lol, nice features, you guys are really dedicated to this game, it’s funny because I’ve seen almost every one of those glitches… and now that they are fixed it’s great!
Can’t wait for the MGS pack
You should create a huge pack of tools especially for level developers and sell it as a professional pack or something. Then you should hire me cause I have good ideas
I still wonder when exactly we will get the Parson’s Design levels, and I hope they don’t charge us for it :/
Hello
In version 1.07
Some trouble was seen.
1. The sticker peels off comulsorily when Sackboy killing by a bomb.
2. The sticker pasted besides Sackbody (ie. Hear,Shoes etc..) cannnot be peeled off in tool menu.
In last version,there operated normally.
I hoped to be corrected these BUGS.
My arms still fly around when i grab a really i mean really big sponge… other than that this looks and is great! Thanks for fixing this stuff!
AWESOME stuff MM!! I’m finally NAT type 2, but since the update can’t figure out how to connect to people in my friends list anymore. Did the ‘join’ and ‘invite’ option go away or is it just me? :\
Dear Santa Claus,
I’m so sweet because I bought your boys and I make a lot of thing with <|;-)
So, why are you turning on the red light and asking for money … again ?
I’m understanding for the little things but for the big ones like new Levels (and associated construction-kit with new gameplay things) : definitively not.
Do you want a community with poor gamers and rich ones ? A community with much materials and things to improve creativity for the ones and not for the others ?
Little or Big money : you’ll have to make a choice.
This update is amazing! >_< thank you soooo much
Now i can easily find the levels im looking for 
Studio of the YEAR!!!! Very much deserved
Best studio in a very long time in my opinion =]
I’m here to report a HUGE bug that came with this patch.
Some users, including myself, after updating to 1.07, can’t save their progress. The HD Icon never appears now, and if you grab some prize bubbles, on both History and Online levels, they’re not saved. I grabbed all the prize bubbles on History yesterday, I got the trophy, but now the game is just like it was before grabbing the prizes.
This is a very stressing situation and I hope the problem is addressed soon. The only “fix” is to delete the save and start a new game. That’s not a fix for me.
Regards,
jantunes
Just stumbled onto a huge bug. Almost lost my tank of one months work because of it. After the 1.07 update at some point the Save Object has gone mad. I selected my tank as an object and saved. When I loaded it back into the level, any level, the save does not include the connections (the wires). Everything is just firing and moving on its own because no connections to stop it. I thought it might be my tank but I tried a simple object and it did the same thing. Have another PS3 upstairs that is my daughters. I went to it and downloaded a known good working level with my tank from online. I went to edit and tried to save that tank and the same thing happens. So now Im stuck with the current tank version because I cannot save anything.
Would also like to add that although the save object is doing this, I can copy the object and then paste it right back into the level and all is fine.. I just cannot save the object which has my tank at a stand still.

AHHHHHHHH! I just downloaded the patch and now the game wont start!
It gets to the ‘this game autosaves’ screen and then restarts the PS3!
I’ve tried turning off the PS3, replacing the game ETC. But it’s not helping… I really, really don’t want to delete my save file and lose all my levels =[
Help!
Okay, I just copied my save file to a memory stick and then deleted it from the PS3, the game now works fine (or at least the intro level does.. I didn’t bother getting further).
And then I copied it back… yep my data is corrupt :/ Is there a way to at least recover my levels from it? Will the one I uploaded online be okay if I start a proper new file?
Argh =[
Dear MM, You guys are awesome. This game just keeps getting better and better. It’s like the ps3s smash bros. Just one thing, when I use my keyboard to type I can’t see the letters that I’m typing. I read about this on some other comments too, so I know that its not just me.
I was real excited about this update… til it broke the game and all.
Unable to save progress and with only 8 creator hearts short of Platnium not really a good time to start over.
I would have to recollect everything.
Hey kung_fu_russ, thanks for the question, I’ll just clarify: Your level is surely fine, the bug that I found (seems others are finding more, one of which I have experienced: stickers on costumes not coming back after explosions) so the bug I found was that you can’t put stickers ON a prize bubble, or on score bubbles either. you CAN still put a home-made sticker in the prize bubble, as far as I know
Dear MM: I absolutely love your game… but i found a bug in your latest patch. Here’s what happened:
I cleared the decoration in my Pod, and started to put some leaf decorations. Then, all of a sudden… the pop-it cursor stopped working: There was a semi-transparent leaf, as if the cursor was controlling it, yet it wouldn’t move with the cursor. Also, I couldn’t exit back to the pop-it menu, and the HDD light was on and wouldn’t shut off. Left it a min or two, nothing happened, so I hit the PS button to quit the game. The PS3 tried to quit the game, failed, beeped a few times, and restarted. Now, when I try to run LBP from my user, the game gets stuck in the message that tells you not to turn off the PS3 when the HDD light is flashing. When this happens, not even the PS button works (even holding it for a few seconds doesn’t show the Turn off Controller/System menu).
Please tell me I don’t have to delete my data and start all over again… my unpublished level has taken me weeks of work and was about 75-ish% done. Thank you for your time!
keyboard text chat
I cannot see the letters i’m typing
Nice update
Though the image export is kinda useless with a 320×180 resolution for the pics…
I tried deleting game data and the game works. It autosaves and everything, but as I don’t have the latest version it won’t let me go online.
I really hope you’re working on a fix.
Thanks for this update, specially the image export, but I think images must be full resolution (1920×1080), not just 320×180… But i know it’s just the begining, keep the great work
Here is a new vid I did with the 1.07 Capture Bug and two temporary fixes. One fix for saving and placing the object into the level and one for emitting.

Dear MM,
I’ve published a level “Goblins and Ghouls” by Dougers, but am having a problem with players not being able to load it. They get the “failed to load” message. The level’s been published for about 1 month,I currently have 5 stars, 23 players, and over 58 hearts. I’ve emailed MM repeatedly about the problem and haven’t received any response. If I have 58 hearts from players who tried to play the level but couldn’t, hearting it so they could try again later, I hate to think how many more players have received the failed to load message. I’ve spent well over 200 hours (lots of learning time)creating it and would like for people to be able to play it. Can anyone help? Please?
Another Bug … uff
Sometimes saving objects and stickers doesnt work… Even though it looks like it saved … and it appears on your Item/Stciker Collection … the next time you run the game … it isnt there.
The save function is not uncommon…
I played through the first 4 levels of LBP MGS and left the game and went back in after a breif stint on the PSStore, nothing saved beyond level 2 I had to redo 3 and 4 completely. Definately something to look into for a “quick” fix.
“If anything I can say this cab is rare” but I thought ‘nah. forget it.’ Yo homes to bel-air!
best feature yet.
I actually <3 these developers- they actually amuse me with their comments, and the game is awesome!
thanks guys
SAVE BUG FIX!
My friend found a great fix for the saving bug on a Japanese forum. Just delete all the community objects you’ve acquired (I also deleted the photos & stickers that I have picked up in community levels) but you don’t have to delete your own photos & it’s fixed! I was able to save. I hope this helps all the very sad people. Losing the community objects is nothing compared to losing the progress & the levels you’ve built. I also deleted the captured objects that I made myself which was not many, I don’t know if that matters or not.
I am so happy! that I don’t have to start over.
Great update – but fo a couple bugs – But I still want to see an easier way to find people’s levels. Some levels just disappear immediately. You gave some good advice in Publishing, but that’s not really the sort of thing I’m after. I’m saying you should add yet more search features for the little guy, who’s yet to make it big. Such as:
- Recently Added
- Unplayed levels (Or levels with very few plays, say below 50)
Also, the tagging system is a ltitle annoying. If you could get a big list of ALL the tags at the end of a level rather than 5 or 6 (and then having to press “next” ) that would make for people giving more accurate tags, rather than giving up and choosing “Gas” because there was one bit of gas, or “Braaaaaains…” cause there were one or two creatures.
Sorry to moan, I love your game, I really do!
Hi, after 1.07 my PS3 always Restart along with the 3 beeps when quiting LBP
and sometimes it freezes during the creation mode..i’ve lost most of the level im currently building although i frequently use the save and save as.. feature ( When i restart LBP, all the duplicates are gone too )…and online co-op is lagging eventhough im using ADSL 2+ connection
First id like to thank you for this INCREDIBLE artistic creation tool. I have had the game for about 2 months and i am still amazed , inspired and having LOTS of fun. I feel like your product as the potential to become the new LEGO and will definitly support it for as long as its there.
My only complaints would be about the search engine for the levels… There is probably half a million levels created… or soon will be ? so its really difficult to find what you are looking for even if you input the exact name of the level. Could you please add the option for ” exact match ” or “have to include keywords in level name and or descriptions ” because most of the time it gives dozens of search results that dont even include my keywords and i get really frustrated because i cant find the levels i read about online.
Would it also be possible to have a planet solely for a group of people ? lets say i create a crew and we want to publish on a planet of our own so its easier for people to find our levels ? right now the way we have to do this is create a psn that hearts all the levels we publish and people have to add that psn to their friends list…
Please refine the organisation and search engine.
Also i noticed a glitch where 50% of the level i create becomes tainted red for no apparent reason, when you switch to play mode everything remains tainted red ? all you have to do is rewind and it comes back to normal even if the step undone as nothing to do with tainting the level and its content red. Not game breaking at all , just worrying at first.
Keep up the excellent work , the metal gear solid pack is incredible.
Thanks , from east coat Canada.
In west Philidelphia, born and raised on a playground is where I spent most of my days. Chillin out max and relaxing all cool and shooting some B ball outside of the school. When a couple a guys, they where up to no good! started making trouble in ma neighbourhood, I got in one little fight and ma mun got scared! She said: ” Your moving to yer Aunties and your Uncles in Berlair”
I wistled for a cab and when It came near the licence plate said Fresh & there was a dice in the mirror. If anything I could say this Cab was rare. But I though na 4get it. Yo home 2 Belair!
I pulled up 2 the house around 7 or 8 and I yelled to the cabbie yo home smell you later!
I looked at my kingdom I was finally there.To sit on the thone as the prince of Belair
Well thats all I canremember.
YoMM I wanted to tell u how cool da new speechbubble above your sackboything is when u die though&the other playerkeeps going theycannot C all of what u r saying til next checkpoint.Also when I type I cant C the preview o wat im typing
I love the new update.
I especially LOVE the end of the list. Fresh Prince! That was an awesome show…
BUGS :
1) I can’t save anything into my moon : when I quit the LBP game and when I reload it, my level are not saved.
=> Before you fix it, we can publish blocked level and copy it on the moon to continue editing
2) Some objects can’t be picking (not possible to move, delete, …)
=> Before you fix it, we can fix another object to thes objects and they become pickable
So, first I’d like to say that I love this game. that being said, I’m really frustrated with it right now. I, like every other lbp fan downloaded the mgs costume and level pack. after i beat the mgs levels, I returned to my pod and then quit the game. when I tried to start the game up later that day, it kept kicking me back to the xmb. so I copied my save file to another user. tried that and it said my save is corrupted. so now my only option is to delete my save file and start over. are you kidding me!I have all the trophies minus a few from the msg pack. I’ve got 8 published levels, some with more than 20,000 plays and a total of over 200 hrs into creating them. I would rather never play again, than lose all that work. Which sucks because i really love this game. please Mm help me keep all my work, tell me there’s some way of fixing this.
my levels are;
300 spartans
insectacide
ghouls n’ ghosts area 1 & 2 w/ boss
escape the burning building
snowboarding
ultimate little big pinball machine
spidey w/ costume
high roller (beta)
hi, branditimus. see my post up above for the save fix that I discovered. I had the same problem that you did.
Hi, was wondering when it would be possible for you to add in a 2 player online create functionality. As this would drastically imporove the appeal of the game for me. Also i have found some relatively minor but very irritating glitches in the game; These are, when using the rewind function it can sometimes take forever to rewind and also recently i have noticed my levels that i have created and spent a long time on seem to disappear. When i come back to them later. The “play”, “create” and “share” dials on the info board dont work. Thanks a lot by the way for the excellent mgs4 pack and i appreciate all the work that you are doing but would enjoy this game far better if these changes were made Thanks.
I also would like to express great thanks and extend praise, the game was awesome to begin with, and I think we are all very pleased you continue to improve on it. But on update 1.07 I also cannot see what I am typing with my USB keyboard, its logitech. Also the speech bubbles being offscreen after death is REALLY annoying, I liked before when the speech bubble was top center screen if you were dead, love the new system of the pop up bubbles above our heads when we are alive though lol. The mini sackboy item is really strange and distorted, stretched smaller in various parts of the body that change at random. Also on the dragon mask item,the green eye pieces that spin inside the eye, well one or both disappear and reappear at random. Just thought I would report the first two in hope you will improve on that, the last two seems like little bugs I thought you may want to know about to squash. Thanks guys keep up the awesome work, and heres to hoping for awesome new levels and content to expand our games.
LMAO @ the prince of bell air theme XD
Owkay but seriously… great work,
im still in * faintmode* because of the game..
fkkn rawks!! if i may though… ermm, yes Musoka is right
my little sackboy goes distorted 2.. the arms and legs mostly..
I hear a lot of ppl complaining about this, so might be a problem that needs to be fixed along with stickers disapear that you placed on your sack when you respawn.. little bit frustrating XD
BUT! besides that… AHHH!!! best game i ever played
fun fun fun XD
owhz Ughum sowwwy, one more thing..
<—- #1 Fangirl O.0
its bugging me, i need to get it of my chessssst
here in europe we dont have creditcards (its way hard to get one)
so when europe * FINALY * gets a paying method i think the ppl who can prove they had the game in the first week of release should get a chance to still get the “first week” T-shirt.. anyway, prob a dumb suggestion.
but im so sad i dont have it
Keep up the good work!! im so in love <3 Whhhaaa
xxx Syd
