Media Molecule taking beta applications for LittleBigWater
by Griffin McElroy

We only have so much anticipation that we can distribute between this year's big titles -- however, we've had to move a considerable portion over to an unexpected release: The addition of water to LittleBigPlanet. We know, it's not even a game so much as a new game mechanic, but it should breathe new life into the title's million-level-strong homebrew community.
Fortunately, we might not have to wait much longer for this digital precipitation to accumulate -- Media Molecule is now taking applications for a beta version of the water-infused LBP kit. You better believe we'll be there with bells on -- only, you probably won't hear them, because bells have an awfully hard time ringing underwater.

I was wondering when you finally post this.
This should be exciting to see the possibilities.
Hope we can make moving rivers, waves, and waterfalls.
Those are not clearly shown in the video if it is possible.
Maybe when the ice hazard is reintroduced, we can freeze the water too.

I've already seen the video, but I want to watch it again because of how great it is.

Will this be free?
Pumapayam @ Aug 21st 2009 12:52PM
It's is part of a creator/level "kit", but likely paid.
I would be shocked if it was free, and I am sure the video would proudly proclaim that if it were to promote it even more.

Thanks for the heads up! I applied immediately!
@joe_bevis
Yes it will be free, but it will more than likely require having LBP. They probably won't consider anyone who hasn't posted any content or logged in recently though.
Pumapayam @ Aug 21st 2009 12:54PM
Where did you read it was "free".
Confirmation or proof you can share?
UncleCheeto @ Aug 21st 2009 1:13PM
I think koehler83 was talking about the beta.
Pumapayam @ Aug 21st 2009 1:19PM
Oh, I read into too much. Yes, entry onto the beta is free, the water kid likely is not.
DarkNessBear @ Aug 22nd 2009 12:13PM
There will be a small charge, but it will come with a bunch of stuff that will make it worth it! Don't worry! =)
Heavytoka @ Aug 21st 2009 12:58PM
I would pay for this, but free is always a better price lol

Any news on online create mode?
Solace (Only on PSN) @ Aug 21st 2009 2:48PM
still in beta
WINterfang @ Aug 21st 2009 1:01PM
That's pretty cool.
Paul @ Aug 21st 2009 1:25PM
can't wait for this, I might try to flex my design muscle a little and sketch up a level soon.

I'm pleased there's a beta process where people actually have a chance of winning, instead of the process MAG is going through.
Barry32171 @ Aug 21st 2009 1:59PM
Signed up as well. Should be interesting, and makes me want to get back into LBP more... Now, to go work on designing a halfway decent level worth publishing... (I suck at level design.)
Paul @ Aug 21st 2009 2:24PM
come up with ideas first. then draw it out on paper first.

Did he die?
TrendGiveAfuck @ Aug 21st 2009 2:02PM
hey, my profile's empty...
Bunny Xbox @ Aug 21st 2009 2:21PM
I cant wait to try out.
CrabBattle @ Aug 21st 2009 2:41PM
Too..... cute.... can't.... resist.....
the Sawyer family @ Aug 21st 2009 2:53PM
I wonder if they got the water tech or help from the guys at Insomniac? The water reacts like it does in Resistance 2.
David Propst @ Aug 21st 2009 3:13PM
I hope I get in this! I missed out on MAG.
chris @ Aug 21st 2009 6:22PM
It said "part of an exciting new kit". What else is in that kit? This just opened so many new doors to LBP, I know where my free time will be spent.
