Video 1 (http://www.viddler.com/explore/Joystiq/videos/131/6.834) "We're not a bunch of gamers here," a faculty member of the Parsons New School told the audience. "A project like this means much more to us than working with a new game. What we're interested in is collaboration, learning in new tools, in testing possibilities with environments and products we haven't worked with before. The experience we had with LittleBigPlanet this weekend is more than that." Over the weekend, students from NYC's Parsons School worked for twenty four hours continuously with LittleBigPlanet. Their challenge? To create a level from scratch using early copies of the PS3-exclusive. With little or no background in the game, the students were able to create a wide assortment of hugely innovative and different levels. There were a number of winners, across multiple categories. In fact, additional prizes were handed out by Sony due to the overwhelming number of great submissions. However, one level stood out as the single best level -- one created by Team Sportsmanship. We've lovingly dubbed the level "Shadow of the LittleBigColossus." Watch the video (above) and see why. Video 2 (http://www.viddler.com/explore/Joystiq/videos/135/5.757) Thankfully, you'll be able to play all of these levels when LittleBigPlanet launches on PS3 in October. Just look for the Parsons city in the online world and start downloading. Simply seeing such creative designs done in such a short amount of time is so incredibly humbling -- makes us realize that we're going to have to up the ante quite a bit when we want to make our own levels. -Most Persistent - Team Smiley -Best Use of Tools - Team Sleepwalkers -Most Innovative - Team Awesome / Team MakeShift -Most Personal - Team P3 -Most Fun - Team Bloody Clowns -Most Beautiful - Team Rocket -Best of Jam - Team Sportsmanship Source: PS3fanboy (http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/09/23/parsons-students-create-shadow-of-the-littlebigcolossus/)

Checking out the second video now. They definitely set the bar high, but we should note that these levels were put together by people that are just as imaginative as a good deal of us are. That being said, these boards will definitely put out some quality levels. EDIT: The second video looks great. By that, I mean that it looks insanely fun to race. I'm seeing Burnout/Wipeout/LittleBigPlanet when I watch that video.

That's pretty basic platforming from start to finish. Impressive scope, but probably not too interesting to play through. It's nice to see that something like that is doable in 24 hours though.

Knew there would be good things from this event The one that won was similar to the idea i had for a level where you travelled through a human body (not beast lol). I wasn't gonna have it walking though but i was gonna use the different organs that you had to pass on your way up to the brain. Guess loads of people have had this idea lol

24 hours ... amazing. That's what happens when you get decent art and design guys involved!

I'd like to play those levels. RIGHT NOW! Amazing stuff. Im not too keen on teh custom textures and that. Simply because they looked blurry and messey and sometimes i can't help but like shiney graphics. However, the levels did look like fun, especially the large creature.

I agree they looked pretty terrible! EDIT: but I do like that you can use the steep camera angle

I posted an idea about doing a level just like this in the ideas thread on this forum. I will make one as well that will blows this one out of the water. but it was still really good and the detail of the body the sounds the idea of a little easter egg it is all good stuff.

Really impressive stuff here (obviously). The complexity involved in the Colossus one was amazing.
