LBPC Level Pack! Story/Theme Voting!

Archive: 75 posts


Winner:


5)Time Travel Themed Stages by Silverleon
[I]1. You are an immortal (just age immortal, but still can be killed) sackboy/girl who goes through the world, trying to survive all the hardships of each era, you start of course in the Pre-historic era where there will ve obstacles like Dinasaurs, Natural traps, and other stuff related to the era .
Each level is a different era which will of course be made in chronological order.
Pre-historic - Ice Age - Egypsians - Romans - Aztecs - Modern - Futuristic. (and/or other eraas i missed).

2. Another storiy for this could be
A sackboy/girl who created a time machine but it messed up and got stuck in the past each time he time-travels he appears in a different place than that of the time-machineand the point is to find the time machine located at the end of the level of course, this which will take him to a different time.
This can be done in chronological order and making him/her go to the pre-historic era, then keep advancing in time, or it can be done randomly where the time machine will take him to random eras. the last in both being "the present" where (s)he either stays there or decides to be a time-traveler forever.

3. The Third way is just by being the sack people of that era, each level featuring a different on.
This differs in the first story since its not supposed to be the same sack person, but rather a random one for each era.

My favourite would have to be Silverleon's. I think it allows for a different style with each level, so we wouldn't have to many problems keepin it consistent. Also I love the idea that we'd have different scenery/environments for each one.

This is apart from my own though Me wanty RETRO ALIENS

i have to say this was a tough decision. i voted for rocksauron's sci-fi. i think it has the best chance for a good consistent story. great work to everyone who posted a concept though!2009-03-31 22:24:00

Well it's currently winning >:O

... Yeah :/

Though, if we do do the god one... please don't ruin the concept :/. The God trapped in the prison IS God, THE ONLY god. Thus, the people you play as are just religious fanatics trying to resurrect god because he's god- which is kinda an insult to religion in a way, so that may not be too good :/

... Yeah, I like stories that are SERIOUS. Or similar, I always try to do my best to make a story that semi makes people think... though that probably never works >_<

Jaysus don't be saying that Philip... I'm no Michelangelo *wink*

I'm not really interested in something that takes itself too seriously. I think we can still learn from things that are humorous/bizarre/offbeat! Just take Mother 3 for example. Full of REAL characters with REAL emotions and a very heartfelt story... but it's probably one of the most wacky, surreal and humorous games out there.

It was my understanding that we were voting for the basic concept of the levels. No doubt the original author's will influence it but I think that the final product will be a combonation of everyones' ideas for that original concept. So things like wackyness and atmosphere aren't necessarily set in stone.2009-03-31 22:43:00

HAHAHA

I'd bet on any horse called Shermzor!

Also I'd say tone and theme come as one with the story/concept. But you're right, if I was working on a sci-fi level with said story, I'd probably create my own atmosphere and dialogue as long as it wasn't too far from the rest of the levels.

Should I start making duplicate accounts to vote for mine? No, never, they'd easily spot the idea with 200 votes and comments with the letter 'H' and the number '4' in them.

I voted temple because the platforming should have the best potential. Platforming is the most important part for me.

So mine has no chance of being done?

Also, @ moleynator, Temples have been made WAY TOO MUCH. There are hundreds of temple levels, and no matter what you do, they are always the exact same.

It won't let me edit the poll, I'm sorry. You should have re-written it. If I put it in as it was it would have just been confusing.

Cool

Btw Killian, the mythology part was really an elaboration of the pirate theme. You could merge those two together if you want (so I win! lol).

EDIT:

I'd also like to add that we need to be careful here. Try to find ideas that have potential for many different environments and levels. Imo the levels should be like the story: 1-2 speech bubbles an area. Also, we don't want to play 6 levels set in the same area, 1-2 at most.

Ah I'm awake!

Woke up early because I thought I was ringing someone up on the phone but it turns out I was still dreaming I can tick 'wake up by talking into your hand' off the list.

Well anywhoo seems the polls have changed somewhat. I think that the Norse idea should win if not my (amazing) idea. It would be really fun to design the Norse statues and plus we'd have to have a Kraken or two.

This vid actually have some great inspirational pictures for things we could do. YouTube - Legend Rises (Kraken vs Leviathan)

I think the beauty of the idea, is that there is a lot we can do with it. From pillaging towns, to wading through frozen forests in the north, to boss battles on the seas.

The story doesnt need to be complex, if we are going for a level pack, the focus should be on the gameplay. Most games (not including MGS) have a good story, but then leave you to go and play it. I couldn't stand making a level where everything is constantly broken up by story. AArgh!!

That's why it needs to be clich?; I just think that some of these other stories (as said) would go straight over the average player. Something like Norse we could get away with though since 'ZOMG KRAKENZZZZ' isn't that hard to put forward :arg:

aaaa your still mixing mythologys! the kraken is greek! i think if we do go with that one we would either have to make it one mythology or make it broad enough that we could include elements from many different ones. i like your idea im just trying to keep the story strait

"Kraken ( kra? ken, IPA: /ˈkrɑːkən or ˈkreɪkən /)[1] are legendary sea monsters of gargantuan size, said to have dwelt off the coasts of Norway and Iceland."

"Although the name kraken never appears in the Norse sagas, there are similar sea monsters, the hafgufa and lyngbakr, both described in ?rvar-Odds saga and the Norwegian text from c. 1250, Konungs skuggsj?.[7] Carolus Linnaeus included kraken as cephalopods with the scientific name Microcosmus in the first edition of his Systema Naturae (1735), a taxonomic classification of living organisms, but excluded the animal in later editions. Kraken were also extensively described by Erik Pontoppidan, bishop of Bergen, in his "Natural History of Norway" (Copenhagen, 1752?3)"

OK maybe not the name but the creature is

Trust me I have a GAME on my side; I'm sure they researched it very hard considering there's a whole **** encyclopaedia in the pause menu :hero:.

like i said i think mixing mythologys would be a cool idea if that idea wins if i made you angry somehow i apologize, im not as familiar with greek myth as i am with greek or egyptian

just out of curiosity, what game is it that uses norse mythology?

Nah, no-one ever gets angry on LBPC

Age of Mythology RTS, Greek+Egyptian+Norse then later on in its infamous 'titans expansion' you get (shock horror) titan gods!

Aaaaaaw I've just had a super idea for a story. How about an adventure that has elements of both Norse and Greek mythology? It could be where the two worlds clash for some reason to form one world where a war between the Greek gods and the Norse gods is raging.

But it's probably too late now. Ah well.

Rock's Sci-fi one was looking brilliant until the ending...
LBP was made for happy endings xD not the player causing mass genocide =xD
Change the ending to the player breaking free from his job with a free mind, so he decides to free the humans, by destroying all his fellow protectors?

Dunno, I voted for time-travel, could be pretty fun, and I can picture some fabulous time machine effects ^_^

To be honest I wouldn't mind voting for the mythology one instead (so it would win) if it means that we actually get something done rather than fumbling around waiting for another person to vote.

since its time travel it could still involve mythology like you go to ancient greece or maybe even a post apocalyptic far future hmm? if its this close i think we should discard the ones that were in last and re-vote with th most popular ones

Hahahahaha.... that was too slick! Register, vote, log out.

Honestly I'm happy enough with time travel. I really hate mythology/fantasy levels (or at least generic ones)

There's a lot we can work with on the Time Travel theme. It gives us the opportunity to create lots of different environments, different styles, and a host of memorable characters. One thing that'd definitely have to be consistent between the levels would be the time traveling device. Also Silverleon's written 3 different stories. We easily develop one of these or write new ones based on the same theme.

So its up to you guys if we'll settle on Time travel or not, but I hope you consider what lies ahead of us when we start out on a project like this.

If there are any objections, I'll wait.

I put forward the motion we do the time travel but include a bonus mythology level + a survival challenge as a prize for one of the time travel levels in the era.

i have no objections, though we will have to carefull decide what time/place each level will be in so as to not have overlap. using this concept we could make some of the other ideas as places you go to so people who really wanted a certain one to win can still do it. are we going to have more suggestions and another pole to decide on the individual levels or is that up to the writers?2009-04-01 22:40:00

Okay. I suppose we have our winner then.

I'll PM each member the link to the temporary project forum that olit123 created as organising a level pack in one or two threads will not work.

I'll ask a mod to lock this now.
