Media Molecule has announced LittleBigPlanet update 1.21, otherwise known as Leerdammer, is now available to download.
The free update contains a host of new features such as Online Create, increased profile space, improved networking and better saving functionality.
Online Create
Now you can create with up to three other players online across the internet, across the world!
Networking fixes & location-based matchmaking
Media Molecule has rewritten both the way the game handles networking code and the way it finds people for you to play with when you hit ‘Play Online’. Now, it searches for people who are closer to you and more likely to have a lower ping. This should bring significant improvements to lag and other networking problems.
The POD Computer will first try to match based on location, if this fails it will fall back to matching with any location.
Save game rewrite
The way your saved games work has been changed to make it faster, more flexible and more robust. It also means you’ll be able to save way more stuff.
On a PS3, there are two places games store data – the Game Data folder and the Save Data folder. Previously your automatic save would be stored in the Save Data folder. We’ve changed it so that your save is now stored in the Game Data folder.
Increased profile space
On top of the extra space you get from the save game re-write, Media Molecule’s also doubled the number of photos and costumes that you can save to Popit.
You’ll find a complete list of changes and updates over on littlebigplanet.com.
