Proto:LittleBigPlanet 2/Revision 520229

This is a sub-page of Proto:LittleBigPlanet 2.

LittleBigPlanet 2 Revision 520229 is a development build based on Game Update 1.26 that was used during the development of the DC Comics Premium Level Kit. Dated October 1st, 2013, this build predates that pack's release by 2 months and 17 days. While the DLC is much further along than in the April 29th 2013 Debug Build, there are still notable differences from the final version of the pack.

Changed Level Badges

There are five level badge graphics present in gamedata/lbp2/dlc/dccomics/level_badges. These early graphics appear to have been created in-game using various assets.

Audio Differences

Wall Jump Sounds

The sounds that accompany the visual effects from jumping off of Wall Jump Surfaces were changed for the final game. The older sounds are comprised of four audio files labelled jump_off_vfx_7. In-game, these older sounds do not scale in intensity if the Wall Jump Surface's jump strength is changed with a Wall Jump Material Tweaker.

In the final game, there are eight audio files for the visual effects; four for the bass effect labelled jump_off_twang_9_body, and four for the static effect labelled jump_off_twang_8_thin. In-game, the body sounds scale in pitch with the Wall Jump Material Tweaker's Jump Strength tweak, while the thin sounds scale in volume.
