is it just me or does it feel like the LBP community is slowly starting to make a bit of a comeback, idk

What are your thoughts on Herbert Higginbotham?

I absolutely love Higginbotham!! He’s gotta be one of my favourite LBP characters fullstop. He’s criminally underrated and I love his design so much and I honestly wish we got to see way more of him in game. I probably need to draw him more because I really don’t enough.

Quick fire round!! facts too short to write a big paragraph on.

- Higginbothams beta name was Hillary

- Negativatron was originally pink

- Avalon was originally an orange amplifier with blonde hair and the words ‘the man’ faintly across his speaker

- Eves asylum used to have whales in it, likely because a lot of Gustav Klimt’s art depicted a lot of sea life

- Copernicus was made quite late in development, there was a lot of different concepts before they decided on Copernicus one of which can be seen in the level profile pic.

- Eves eyes change colour depending on mood (not about the beta but just not very well known because she doesn’t show a lot of different emotions in game)

- A lot of concept art was drawn in crayon!

- There was going to be a lot more types of robotic enemies you could interact with. E.g a Metal Robot you could wind up.

Ask me if you have any LBP2 questions, I’ll probably be able to answer them. ^^

Hold on I have another fact 💀

The beta version of the factory of a better tomorrow was called the popov factory. This was likely a placeholder name however the popov was an early version of the meanie and it would have been a pink strange creature that possessed and took over sackpeoples minds, or in other concepts simply masqueraded as sack people. The closest thing we have to this in game that shows this is the creature stingers and horns, although recently people have found a ‘popov dog’ which was seen in some of the concept art so it is likely it was scrapped during the early to mid development stages.

Oh! And one more fact for today.

The scientist guy seen just before the wheel actually appeared in really early LBP2 concept art with an apple labelled Eve. This idea likely stemmed into having Eve as we know today :)
