I posted this on Twitter and thought it was funny. I personally hc him and clive have a sibling-like rivalry
fun fact about me
little big planet taught me how to mask. I had no clue how to use emotions properly and I used to get super frustrated when people thought I was feeling one way by how I looked but I was actually feeling another. Then I played through LBP and it helped me learn when i should use what expressions. Thanks little big planet.
sorry for being inactive guys, I’ve had exams 😭😭😭
clive handforth AND factory of a better tomorrow stimboard @factoryofbettertomorrow ! why not both :D tried my hand at making the gameplay gifs here, hope theyre alright !!

I’m currently working on a big art project, so have this doodle for content
I don’t have any good fact ideas today, so here’s what remains from Mona in the game!! She was going to be an AI accomplice to Avalon but she was eventually scrapped.
I cannot take the Pre-Alpha cutscenes seriously when Clives face looks like this
is it just me or does it feel like the LBP community is slowly starting to make a bit of a comeback, idk
What are your thoughts on Herbert Higginbotham?
I absolutely love Higginbotham!! He’s gotta be one of my favourite LBP characters fullstop. He’s criminally underrated and I love his design so much and I honestly wish we got to see way more of him in game. I probably need to draw him more because I really don’t enough.
Quick fire round!! facts too short to write a big paragraph on.
- Higginbothams beta name was Hillary
- Negativatron was originally pink
- Avalon was originally an orange amplifier with blonde hair and the words ‘the man’ faintly across his speaker
- Eves asylum used to have whales in it, likely because a lot of Gustav Klimt’s art depicted a lot of sea life
- Copernicus was made quite late in development, there was a lot of different concepts before they decided on Copernicus one of which can be seen in the level profile pic.
- Eves eyes change colour depending on mood (not about the beta but just not very well known because she doesn’t show a lot of different emotions in game)
- A lot of concept art was drawn in crayon!
- There was going to be a lot more types of robotic enemies you could interact with. E.g a Metal Robot you could wind up.
Ask me if you have any LBP2 questions, I’ll probably be able to answer them. ^^
Hold on I have another fact 💀
The beta version of the factory of a better tomorrow was called the popov factory. This was likely a placeholder name however the popov was an early version of the meanie and it would have been a pink strange creature that possessed and took over sackpeoples minds, or in other concepts simply masqueraded as sack people. The closest thing we have to this in game that shows this is the creature stingers and horns, although recently people have found a ‘popov dog’ which was seen in some of the concept art so it is likely it was scrapped during the early to mid development stages.
Oh! And one more fact for today.
The scientist guy seen just before the wheel actually appeared in really early LBP2 concept art with an apple labelled Eve. This idea likely stemmed into having Eve as we know today :)
Sorry I’ve missed a few days, I’m really inconsistent and I’ve been a bit ill lately but here’s todays LBP fact:
The negativatron was originally going to be called ‘The sucker’ and the story would have had a plot twist where when you got to Avalons place he turns on you, along with the help of his assistant ‘Mona’ who I am pretty sure was actually a cyborg version of the Mona Lisa!! This is just speculation but I’m quite sure that the story would have had you teaming up with the alliance to fight Avalons army and eventually destroy the sucker.
For compensation of forgetting to post a fun fact yesterday, have some beta Clive pics because I found a beta Clive skin ^^ (the helmet one is my fav lolol)
Todays fun LBP fact: okay so not really a fact but me and my freinds liked this silly guy in that one manglewood level so we called him Barone, I’m probably gonna draw him n his gang :DDD
Clive’s fun LBP fact of the day:
this one is a bit more obvious, but casual players may not know this!!
Eves asylum is heavily inspired by Gustav Klimt’s work, specifically his golden age!! A lot of the original concepts were a kind of futuristic greenhouse style thing and they looked super cool!! I’m still glad we got the eves asylum we did, it’s so beautifully done. I presume they deemed the futuristic idea a little too similar to Henry’s garage, which eventually became Avalonia.
insane LBP fact of the day: commodore accidentally giving a beans company hardware directly resulted in the existence of Little big planet.
So a guy called Peter Molynuex ran a company selling beans in the middle east called Taurus, he was a failed game dev and after a miscommunication error, commodore mistook Taurus for Torus and offered Peter 10 amigas if he developed them a software, Peter agreed and developed a software, but eventually came clean but commodore still released the software to moderate success, this caused him to found bullfrog studios with a freind of his, but he eventually moved on to lionhead studios. Lionhead studios hired Matt Healy who helped make Rag Doll kung fu there and that sparked a love for making and developing games. He then eventually left and founded media fucking molecule who then made little big planet, and the rest is history!!
im absolutely insane I can’t believe I researched all of this because my brain is like haha silly sack game go brrrr /hj
please join, everyone here is super chill ^^
LBP Discord server;
Hey! I don't mean to make this sound like an advertisement because that's not what it is, I simply want to make people comfortable. Basically, I myself am anxious to talk in the big LBP servers on discord, so I made my own! It's basically supposed to be a comfort and a judge free zone ^^
Hi!! I don’t know how to use tumblr so have some sillay clive doodles
