LittleBigPlanet Generator was a Flash game released in September of 2008 to promote the PlayStation 3 title LittleBigPlanet. In the game, one could customize their own 3D Sackboy and share it for others to view.

Availability

The game was originally hosted on Mysackboy.littlebigplanet.com^[1] but appears to have been taken down sometime in May of 2011, with the URL redirecting to the official PlayStation homepage starting in June of 2011 and now simply not working at all. Only a rip of Sackboy's files from the website has resurfaced and the website only shows a black screen. As of now, three videos and a couple of screenshots of the game can be found.

Findings

The only resurfacing files are a rip of Sackboy and various costumes from the website. ^[2] This was done by a user by the name of "Friedslick6". It is unknown how they managed to rip the files, considering this was done after the website went down.

On June 19th, 2023, Tarn Gordan-Rogers was contacted. She was the maker of the Vimeo video linked below. In her email, she stated how she worked on the copy and creative for the website but did not have the game in her possession. She gave further information that the agency that made the game was called "Agency Republic", but this agency has long since been closed. She also said that the site won an "FWA Award" and was runner-up for "IAB Creative Showcase".
