Yeah, just a material not a new feature; unless I'm missing something about this. Very similar to the lava material from the DC level pack. From that tweet about adding a character tweaker, sounds like it's just a regular animated material without any physical features (and maybe sound, it think I heard water splash).

Looks like we have some basic 3D shapes.

The categories are:
- Animals
- Balls :)
- Bits and Bobs
- Blueprint chasis
- Blueprint wheel
- Body

Character rotation and animation tweakers.

Not sure what this means too much.

I'm still confused why people are thinking the "localized water" is a thing. It's not.

It's literally just an animated material that has be dephyscialized. We've seen this in LBP Vita. What ever animations there are to make Sackboy look like he is swimming is obviously new LBP3 logic. But no localized water. Think of the Lava material that was included in the DC level kit.

Moley even says that you still can't pour or scoop (real) water.

Sorry, late night rant. Kinda bothers me.

This, this is good!

With all the added top-down features, and obvious acceptance of its popularity, is there a way to make sack boy "walk" on walls with his feet? Even if its via animating and rotating, is that a possibility? It used to be you could make him "lay down" by rotating him, but that only really worked with one direction, if you turned he'd go back to standing up, or you could use a controlinator, but that wasn't really him. Anyone know?

This is what I'm hoping for. If he can walk up walls and we can tilt that camera low, then we have 16 layer high, isometric levels.

Can MiniToggle and BigToggle have separate costumes? I really need to know this.

What about this then? https://vine.co/v/OadjDPDLUvw Or is that also just an animation tweaker? either way is fine with me.

It's physicalness water material with an animation tweak but (for me at least) is doesn't just look like a 'workaround', it actually looks as it should do. I'm sure it will be reasonably easy to add in a few animated bubbles and splashes.

Yes, this. You can even see in the original Vine that it's clearly a material. He even has a music sequencer placed on it. And there are a variety of decoration effects and character animations (this) that can help create the real water effect.

There is no doubt that this new animated material is awesome and I expect great things from it. But I don't want people to have the false hope that this is actually water. It won't react and move like the real water will.

Edit: Moley mentioned a water material in one of his tweets. Don't feel like looking for it right now.

I can't wait. I've seen a "topdown" looking level for LBP3 with a snowman, so I think for the most part, even if we can't us actual sackboys, we're still in business. We might just have to be creative. I used inLBP2 "creatinators" and some fancy connections to create top down "bodies" like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qRfziukTCk
and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvbAzaiGlQ0 this.

But I'd MUCH rather have a real sackboy and be able to use the other characters so that I can properly animate them in a top-down game. The old method was VERY time consuming and I'll honestly admit, didn't look that fantastic, but it was the best I could do.

I'm just so happy that they're embracing top-down popularity! :)

Well we know that we have an advanced mover, an animation tool with 'jump' and that we can orientate sackboy how we want ... It's a given that top down or isometric levels will no longer look clumsy when sackboy jumps. It would be great if there was a setting that enabled the 16 layers to become levels to jump up or down to instead of having to shift layers to give the impression of sackboy jumping, but that's asking too much ... isn't it?!

Those examples you posted show exactly why the word 'workaround' started to drive me nuts. Yes, is was clever considering the limitations and yes, you can admire the effort to get something approximating the desired result, but we need (and it looks like we have) to move away from those restraints and make LBP3 a true game creator.
