Sackboy on the C64

Little Big Planet has been in development since 2017 by Marco Shealey. It has been quiet in 2022 until recently when two videos were released with progress updates.

In September, it was announced that the player can now grab the Skateboard from either side by being in the correct position holding down on the joystick and then moving left-right to affect its momentum.

In October 2022, Marco added a football and tweaked the grabbing code to feel more “weighty” when moving objects.

Little Big Planet was released on Playstation back in 2008. So, why not the humble C64? Let’s hope that Sackboy will make it to the humble 8-bit in its entirety.
