craftworld-rs preview 2026-10-20

An early preview of craftworld-rs, a fan-made LittleBigPlanet 2 engine in Rust. Built from main at 9fb266e.

What's new since preview 2026-10-19b

• Gamepads that drift no longer move Sackboy on their own. A pad only takes control once both sticks have been seen near the centre with no d-pad held, so a drifting pad or one with mixed-up axes is ignored and the keyboard keeps working.
• Level scripts now start with their proper starting values, which fixes some differences in how objects like bubbles behaved.
• Anti-gravity tweakers now hold their objects up. On the Rookie Test route Sackboy used to get stuck early on; he now gets much further through the level.
• A lot of work on level logic: switches, pistons, movers, sensors, emitters, sequencers, controlinators and creatures. Most of this isn't visible yet, because the game doesn't use it while you play. It will show up in later previews.

What you need

• Your own LittleBigPlanet 2 USA disc image (BCUS98245), updated to 01.33 in RPCS3.
• RPCS3's dev_hdd0/game/BCUS98245 folder.

No game data comes with this download, and nothing has to be decrypted.

craftworld-rs preview 2026-10-19b

An early preview of craftworld-rs, a fan-made LittleBigPlanet 2 engine in Rust. Built from main at f01f988.

What's new since preview-2026-10-19

• Rookie Test: its scripts now run in native Rust (launch pads, music triggers, post-it notes, tutorial prompts, scoreboard, camera, speech bubbles), and the level's route runs start to finish.
• Voice-over lines now take as long as they do in the game, so the Pod intro and the Story unlock scenes keep the game's timing.
• The Pod intro waits for the length of the game's intro video.
• More of the Pod and Story screen work like the game: entering and leaving the Pod, the Pod's music, locked levels and the links between them drawn with the game's line texture.

If you used an older version, press Set up again once so it copies the new files (the voice-over bank and the intro video).

What you need

• Your own LittleBigPlanet 2 ISO, USA version (BCUS98245).
• The game updated to 01.33 in RPCS3 (its dev_hdd0/game/BCUS98245 folder).

No game data comes with this download, and nothing has to be decrypted.
