Hey everyone! I'm sure many of you know I'm working on a level series right now, with the help of some of the members here! I need help on deciding the name of the series! Here's a summary of what the story involves: Sackboy travels around to different locations on missions, helping out in disaster or high-threat situations. Along the way he sees old friends and meets new ones. And other stuff happens that I won't spoil. Okay, now go to the poll to check out the options! Also, if anyone is willing to build (note: at this point I only need level builders, but I do need some) please pm me to let me know you're willing to help! (wasn't sure whether to put this under help or ideas and projects...)

I vote for Crossroads but it's not an option on the poll so I'm not sure if I can choose it. If I can't, I vote for The Long and Winding Road.

Your gonna have to get someone to transpose the piano part of the chorus first bar or so to play over all the Intros... Just a thought, little uniformity so people remember the connection between levels...

That would be a good idea...anyone up for it? I guess I should be asking in our group...

So Pleman Are you still looking for people to create levels for your series because if you are surely anyone who reads this will be qualified. Maybe you should tell them how they can help you.

I really need some level builders. Only have two including me at the moment, so if you want to help out, please post here!

As the second level builder, and second in command of this project (not that those are necessarily related ) I figure i better give a little more info on this project. Theap may choose to release more detail than i have given, i'm just trying to give a basic overview to hopefully generate interest. So, this is a series of levels, newly titled "The Long and Winding Road", that is currently set out to be a 12 level, 3 act series. All of the levels and acts have titles and references based upon classic rock songs, for instance the first level (mine ) is entitled "Changes", and the first act is called "Bad Company". As you may have guessed, you'll find a few changes in sackboys life in this first installment, and bad company is sure to follow. Over the course of the series, sackboy travels to several locations, each level being a different theme and locale. Some of the more fantastical ones being a flying pirate ship, the lost city of atlantis, and a nuclear fallout site. There are also several LBPC references in the series, such as the notorious captain Yarbone, and RockS who has a strange obsession with peanuts... The levels are currently set up to be released as acts, so the first 4 will be released, then at a later date the second four, and finally the last 4. All of these levels will be released under a different PSN so you don't have to clutter up your levels, but credit will definitely be given to the original creators in the final level, and possibly the level a creator designs if they put it in there What we need are level designers who are willing to build levels for us around the storyline that Theap has provided. Largely, the creation style is up to the individual creators, as long as it follows the basic storyline that has been laid out. I'm not releasing the story at this time, as its really up to Theap as to whether any part of it is revealed, but i suspect a chapter or two may end up in the next few posts here

In order for people to get a feel for what the series will be like, (though the story has dramatic shifts at multiple points and it's really hard to get a feel for it based on just the first level or 2) I have decided to post the first two levels. Click the spoiler to read. Act 1-Bad Company Level 1-Changes "Welcome to the carnival." That's what the sign said, every summer afternoon, as my friends and I came together for a night of relaxation, a night of endless joy. We dreamed of so much. Pillaging on the high seas, saving the world, nothing was beyond our reach as long as we had each other. Those days were some of the best of my life, and I never wanted them to end. But one night they did, and my life changed forever. This is the story of that night, and my life thereafter. My friends couldn't make it that night, so I went to the carnival alone. It was deserted, but for whatever reason, I couldn't help but feel happy there...even by myself. I stepped up to the first booth, the shooting gallery. "Knock down as many ducks as you can in 30 seconds." I was a natural. Hit every one of them. I thought about all the times I played with my friends, and got excited. I couldn't wait for the rest of the carnival...but, whether I liked it or not, that would never come...at least, not how I expected it. Next up was the Ferris wheel. I remember watching the fireworks shoot up into the sky as the day settled into night. It was becoming night time now, but there would be no fireworks. As my cart reached the top of the ride, the ride shut off. Creatures began climbing up the wheel, and I was trapped. My seat adjusted and from underneath came a gun...and a strange circular object, which I only know filled me with the motivation to live. It seemed that the carnival I so often frequented had an expensive security system for just such an occasion, and I couldn't be more relieved. I got on top of the cart to get a better perspective on the situation, and found myself surrounded. That is when everything changed. I shot them. All of them...those...aliens...killed them all. I never knew what killing would be like, and I was scared. But I knew I couldn't just wait for more to come...I had to get out of the park. I looked behind me towards the entrance, but it was blocked. I had to make it through the park to escape, so I took the gun and continued on. Next however, was the worst ride to get stuck on in this situation-the tunnel of love. There it's completely dark, except for the few dim lights hanging from the ceiling of the cave. The water was poisonous (never understood that, not very loving for a tunnel of love) so I couldn't just get out and swim. While making my way through, something attacked me from under the water. I stood up to see what it was, but by that time it was gone. I made it across without any further trouble. There was a small forest up ahead. Everything there was fake, it was just a place for families to take pictures, but that didn't matter to me now. It was just as dangerous as any other place at this point. UFOs were coming down at me, raining strange green globes upon my head. I manage to dodge the bizarre projectiles, and take them down. 3 UFOs. Who knows how many lives. But I couldn't stop to think about the sins I had just committed now. I had to move on. My only motivation was self-preservation...staying alive, that I might be able to do something more with my life. A few steps later and I came upon one of the most horrifying things of my life. There was a giant of an alien...who seemed to fuse his (or her...I don't know) body with a clown car, using it as infinite storage space for its alien subordinates. Between firing those odd projectiles at me and releasing his henchmen all over to attack me, I found it hard to do much of anything. I took shelter behind a food stand, since it was all there was left. I had no way out, so I shot. I shot everything, without hesitation, without thought. I was running on a constant stream of adrenaline, unable to control myself. After what seemed like forever, I realized that the giant was gone, and I was all alone. I had made it. This was the end of the park. The tragedy was over. But really, it had just begun. As I reached the exit, I was approached by a squad of black soldiers. "That's some impressive work you did there, sackboy." I didn't know why he was there, what purpose he had with me. "We have an army of soldiers that do exactly what you just did here...we defend against attacks too bizarre for other people to believe. We want you to join us." "You know who I am?" I didn't quite understand where they got my name, or how, and suddenly I was filled with fear once again. "Don't worry, we want you to work with us, we are not here to harm you." I didn't want to...but something inside me really enjoyed what happened that night. The adrenaline rush gave me the most excitement I had ever felt, but it also gave me the most fear. Could I kill again? I realized that as much as I hated killing, I enjoyed the thought of being a hero so much more. I asked them the name of their organization. "We are the Armed Disaster Destroyers (ADD). We fight and destroy any disaster we are assigned to handle." I made up my mind. I wanted more out of my life than just visiting the carnival or pretending to be a hero, when I could actually become one. The sun was rising. I thought at the time that perhaps it was a sign that I was making the right decision. Now I know better. The heavens were trying light my path, show me I was going in the wrong direction, but I ignored them. "Okay. Sign me up." "Great, come with us and we'll take you back to base. We just need to clean up here a bit, okay?" I nodded in agreement. "You understand that there will be a lot of changes in your life now, right?" Nodded again. This was the first step of my long and painful journey. May you never have a life so cursed as mine. Level 2-Come Sail Away I was starting to wonder whether I made the right decision when disaster struck yet again. While the ADD soldiers were distracted, pirates came, and forced me into their little rowboat. I was about to laugh, but then it rose out of the water, and started climbing towards the heavens. On the earpiece the soldiers gave me (did I forget to mention that?) I was instructed that my first mission would be to take down this band of flying pirates. I was shocked. My first mission came about as a result of me being kidnapped! But nevertheless, I felt compelled to follow my orders and find a way to turn the situation around. Then we made dock. The tiny little tugboat landed upon a flying pirate ship, as large as I had ever seen (not that I had ever seen a pirate ship before)! There was a gun underneath the main mast on the deck, as well as another one of those mysterious circles. I've seen them more often than I've said, but as this was so long ago to me now, it becomes difficult to remember where they were. The captain was steering the ship on the top deck, and I headed straight for him. That's when I got another message from the soldiers. Apparently some other ADD members were locked up in the brig on the ship. I had to turn around and make my way down to the lower levels of the ship to free them before I could get to the captain. The first level was the pirates' sleeping quarters and mess hall. I didn't need to waste much time on them, they were armed with chicken wings, or a sword at best. After quickly disposing of them, I went further down. The next level gave me some trouble. This was where the cannons and ammo were stored, so the pirates here were well equipped to fight me. The key to the jail cell was on the ground behind everything. After a rough fight and nearly getting blown to bits by a cannonball, I managed to retrieve the key and went down to the final level. A guard stood by. He looked big and strong, but he was far too slow to keep up with me. I freed the soldiers then...nothing. They just stood there, unwilling to help. "Well, let's get going!" "We'll take care of the ship. Go kill the captain then jump off the front of the ship. There's an island down below, where the pirates headquarters are located." I was a bit confused. There were a few of the soldiers there, why did I have to go in alone? But I accepted this anyway, and went back up to the top floor of the ship. The captain was on the deck waiting. He looked large, and rather frightening. When he was on the deck, he seemed so much smaller, more peaceful. I thought to myself, could this really be the same person? But it was, and he was on the attack, looking for blood. But I wouldn't let him have any, not unless it was his own. "You look like a tough sailor? How about ditching your friends and becoming a pirate? Come with me, Cap?n Yarbone. ?Captain My-Bone?? ?No?not yarr bone, Yarbone. Never mind. Boy, I want you to come sail away. Away from your troubles, away from your worry. All you have to do is pillage, drink, and have a merry time. What do you say?" I thought about his proposal, but only for a second. True, I had grown up pretending to be a pirate with my friends, but now I was already something more. It was already hard on my conscience to allow me to kill, but pirates do so without good reason. I could not let myself turn into that. If I was to fight, I would fight for justice. At least, that's what I believed at the time. "No." That's all I needed to say. "If you choose not to join me, you choose to DIE!!!" I stood my ground, and through his barrage of attacks, I managed to survive. Hurt, but not dead yet, I passed by the life ring (got to give that thing some kind of name) and felt revitalized. I stepped onto the front rail of the ship, and jumped. It seemed like an eternity. I thought I would faint before I hit the ground. I found another of those life rings near the spot I landed. That could not come sooner. My legs were sore, and I needed to feel the healing power of the ring soon, or I would not be able to continue on. The pirate headquarters were on the other side of a rather large volcano. Climbing it took less time than I thought. Perhaps it was the motivation not to get burned by lava that made the trip so quick, but I'll never know for sure. When I got there, I found myself staring at a gate. There were holes in it, which looked as if lava had melted through, but the gate was strong, and I could not get by. A gatekeeper saw me standing there. "Are you one of the new recruits?" "Yes." I didn't lie. He just didn't ask who recruited me. "Well why didn't you get the key on your way in? You know where it is right? I can't let you in, you have to have the key tough guy." So I went back. Great. I had to look for some tiny key somewhere on a volcano. I started knocking rocks away, when I found that one of the rocks was stuck in the volcano. I pulled it out, and took it to the doorkeeper. "Umm...here it is. This is it, right?" "Oh yeah...that's it." I waited, but the door didn't open. "So?" "You want to be let in, you liar? You brought the trap key, which means the only door I can open for you is the trap door." I fell in, and like a scene from Star Wars, found myself facing a great beast, in a pit with only one way out-right behind the monster. The elevator gate was locked, and all I had was a jetpack I found lying on the ground. I attempted to go back up through the trap door, but of course, it closed itself behind me. I shouldn't have expected anything else. So all I could do was find a way to destroy the creature obstructing my path to freedom. In the process I saw an odd, glowing object, located on the tip of his nose. There were more of them, scattered about his body, and I found that upon hitting said objects, they would disappear, and the beast would be weakened. I reckoned that they must be his life-force, somehow manifested in a physical form, and upon destroying each of them, the creature died, and the gates were opened. I stepped through them, and saw a bright light. The sun shone down the staircase. I climbed it, and as I climbed, the wall next to me read, "Sorry we thought you were a liar, but you grabbed the wrong key! Good thing you didn't die back there!" That was supposed to make me feel better? It didn't matter, I really wasn't one of them. In fact, I was there to do to them what I did to their monster...and I was tired of having so many obstacles in the path. It was time to get things done, so I entered the first building-a repair shop. There were broken swords, wrecked ships, and inoperable cannons strewn about the room. Many pirate handymen were at work there. I shot one, and he disappeared into thin air. A wrench came flying at me. More of them. I was being bombarded by hammers and screwdrivers. I wouldn't put up with it any longer. Within a minute, the room was empty, except for the broken bits of weapons and boats, and of course, me. I moved on. The next building was tougher. It was their armory, and it was packed with ******-off pirates wanting to kill me for what I'd just done to their shipmates. Bombs were flying everywhere, turrets pointed right at me, but I found cover. They couldn't last forever. I waited out the attacks, and when they stopped for a moment, it was my time to strike. They were relentless, and the battle was long, but in the end, I succeeded in defeating them. I was instructed that I would be picked up on the roof of this building. There was only one problem. The pirates left a little toy for me to play with, a giant robot penguin, coded-named J-Jab. Not sure what was with the choice of animal, or the name, but I had my theories. Their base was on an island on the equator, they probably wanted to build something that would make them think of a colder climate...hence the penguin. However the codename always perplexed me. But enough useless rambling. I was on the rooftop, facing my most intimidating enemy yet, when...well...the thing kinda fell apart. Yeah. Oh, and peanuts mysteriously fell out. That was kind of strange. Don't know what else to say. I mean, maybe you were expecting some epic battle, but you know, I think I already had a lot of those that day, were any more really necessary? The ADD picked me up, and I was finally on my way to the base, with my first successful mission under my belt. Burnvictim is currently in the process of building the first level, the second is still up for grabs for anyone who feels up for it! The types of levels available for building are (well, locations mostly): Pirate theme Base infiltration (x3) [different style bases] Underground City Atlantis Nuclear Fallout Site Desert Home Defense Final Boss (collaboration between everyone helping out)

At the current rate, this project won't be finished for a while, so if anyone is interested, but is busy at the moment, its quite possible we will still be working on this in a while.
