Revision as of 01:58, 19 August 2022
Project Lighthouse is a LittleBigPlanet custom server developed by the LBP Union Research and Development team. The project aims to reverse engineer the now defunct official LittleBigPlanet servers to restore online access to all mainline LBP titles on console (with the exception of LBP Karting). Project Lighthouse is currently being privately beta tested by the Union Space Corps.

On March 11th, 2021, at the beginning of the LBP server shutdown crisis, m88youngling on the LBP Union Discord suggested that "If the [LittleBigPlanet] servers go down, there will be private servers for sure someday".[1] Around this point though, various voices in the community claimed that private servers for LittleBigPlanet already existed, albeit without very concrete accessibility or functionality. However, the existence of these servers is currently unconfirmed.[2][citation needed] There were also rumors that individuals allegedly responsible for the 2021 LBP server attacks utilized a private LBP server.[citation needed]
On September 9th, 2021, m88youngling brought up the possibility of private servers to the LBP Union Research and Development team as a topic of research, which involved team members such as LoganTGT, Nya0, Jvyden, and others. After discussion about the challenges of creating a custom LittleBigPlanet server, several packet captures were provided by m88youngling which served as a starting point for research.[3][citation needed]
Project Lighthouse's initial commit on GitHub was made on October 5th, 2021 by LBP Union R&D Lead Developer Jvyden. The repository has received over a thousand commits since then.[4]
