LittleBigPlanet 1.12 patch detailed, adds in-game music

Media Molecule has posted up fresh details on its upcoming LittleBigPlanet 1.12 patch.

Dubbed Cornish Yarg, the update throws in numerous minor tweaks, though the most significant comes in the form of incorporating in-game music functionality, allowing players to select tunes from the XMB in Create mode. Community objects will also be far easier to delete.

We’ll let Media Molecule guide you through the full list:

There is a new music player which lets player’s choose their own music from the XMB to play during create mode and in their Pod

Improved decoration mode makes it easier to customize your Sackboy

New options to help prevent profiles becoming full of unwanted community objects:

Option to delete all (unhearted) community objects and photos

Option to select whether to automatically collect community prizes and photos

A number of improvements have been made to make profiles more robust and to recover from certain errors

We now support Japanese and Korean IME for text chat.

Emitter prediction has been improved (this should help fast-moving projectiles e.g. in MGS levels)

The player proximity switch now has a ‘require all’ option in it

An option has been added to cycle between various level information when viewing community levels on the earth.
