LittleBigPlanet patch brings an in-game store and more

Media Molecule has just released a patch for the ever growing LittleBigPlanet that brings us to version 1.07 of the game. The patch is 67 MB but also packs in quite a punch on terms of functionality.

For starters, the patch adds an in-game store that will actually exist as its own planet named LittleBigStore. This convenient little store, will allow players to fully view the contents of costume packs as well as download them and automatically jump into costumes they already own without having to dig through their menus for them.

Even better than quick costume switching, the new patch will add in better search options for levels. Using different criteria, like highest rated, most hearted, and newest, players will be able to find worthy levels, much easier than before. It’s about time Media Molecule implemented this.

Finally, there’s also a “save level as” feature that allows creators to save their levels in any slot. I’m guessing this will make it so you won’t have to overwrite your previous work for whatever reason.

Since I still have yet to play the game (it’s in my shame pile!) I won’t be able to check out these features, but I am glad to know they will already be there whenever I get to dive into the LittleBig world.
