A Concept With Epic Potential

Archive: 56 posts


Well, maybe not so epic.

The Story

Quite a bit of mischief has been brewing ever since you completed the Story Mode. A virus has been infecting thousands of levels at a time, transforming them into ugly and uncreative headaches. All of your old friends have already been infected; Zola, Frita, and the other Creator Curators. New Curators have taken extreme measures to preserve the last bit of creativity left in this world. But what happens when the virus reaches them? It's bye-bye LittleBigPlanet!


The Lands

Since I have procrastinated my New Story Mode already, I thought I might make some changes. Also, The_Imagineer has agreed to work with me if we follow through with this concept.

The Boardwalk

Salty Sam, the next Creator Curator you meet, has always had a dream of becoming a pirate. But, since he could not find an eye patch, he did the next best thing. He created a boardwalk, which was to become the hottest vacation spot in all of LittleBigPlanet. But because of the virus, travel is almost impossible. Salty Sam needs your help to clear the area from the virus, so he can continue on creating. Be careful, some of the clowns are looking a little boring lately.

The Ruins

Mucius, another Curator, is worried that the recent destruction of his levels will weaken his defenses against the virus. You are to fix and repair his creations before the virus reaches The Ruins. Hurry up! It's coming fast.*

The Fairytale

Almost all of LittleBigPlanet is infected. The only safe place is The Gardens, where the last creativity was forced to take cover. All remaining creativity in one place? This could be trouble.

The Fall of LittleBigPlanet

The walls of The Fairytale were not able to hold against the deadly, uncreative virus. LittleBigPlanet is no longer made of ideas. It is made of boredom. You are the only survivor. Seconds before The King disappears, he gives you a flash drive. He tells you to travel to other worlds to regain the lost creativity. Are you ready for this?


The Search for Help

Carefully following the King's instructions, you find yourself in several new worlds, each more challenging than the last. You'll need as much help as you can get.


The Virus

Having gathered enough imagination, you make your return to LittleBigPlanet. The result is horrifying. Fighting the virus is no easy task. Catch it, and it's all over. No more LittleBigPlanet.

These ideas came from both The_Imagineer and me. We'll try our best to give it an "Mm Feel". So, what do you think? This story mode? Or the old one?

*We'll add more themes later.

It sounds nice.

By the way, you could use my beach background for that boardwalk land you have planned. The background has a very nice boardwalk. Here's a link. (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=t=17583)

Thanks!

By the way, I almost forgot to put the link to my old Story Mode.

So, in the search for help section, are the levels going to be based off of other video games?

And how do you go about clearing the virus? Some sort of sticker switch?

About the searching for help, I'm not quite sure. The_Imagineer is taking on that part.

As for the virus, it's a combination of some small "Boss" fights and sticker switches. We've got some great ideas planned out.

Great idea. I've always thought about doing a continuation of the story mode, actually. If you need any assistance building it or need someone's opinion on something, just send me a PM!2010-01-12 04:09:00

Ahh, yes. The Search For Help.

Yes. This section will be based on some video games. But don't worry, they won't follow the story of the game it's from, they won't be cheesy, they won't have poor quality, etc.

It's a lot cooler than it sounds. Trust me.

I've been dreaming of such an idea, but I never thought someone would really make it, a brand new story mode ! Good luck, this sounds awesome ^^ I hope I'll soon be able to say it looks awesome, then say it is, after playing it :hero:2010-01-17 21:06:00

Awesome! You can definately join. I'll contact you as soon as I figure everything out character-wise.


By the way, we've got two more concepts for the new lands; The Labrynth (South America), and The Skies (Flying over Africa).

I do not like your poll!

It is not so much a factor of which is better, the official story or yours.

You should ask the question you really want answered -

Should I do this?

You get a yes vote from me - I cannot wait.

I had an original idea for a new Story Mode, which is "The Old Story Mode"

This thread right here is the "new" one.

As I mentioned in the first post:

Sorry for the confusion.

I'm happy to help. I'm better with more furturisticish stuff and my speciality is sound effects. I am however trying to broaden my horizons so i'm happy to help with any of it. Maybe one curator could be some guys from morrocco? I made a detailed moroccan themed level a while back, but I got Fail to load level so it was never finished. It would be nice to use some of what I learnt.2010-01-26 15:52:00

I can help. I'm just a newbie with no levels, but I have some interesting ideas, and I'm very creative and hardworking.If you want references, the demo for my innovative and artistic new level Invert is coming out soon. After Invert, I will be making many other ones of the same type: Memento Mori, Polymorph, Psych, Parasite, Screengrab, and Splatter, to name a few of my ideas. But of course, I'm willing to put all that on hold for your awesome idea!2010-02-05 18:58:00

I have some questions. Would each area have multiple levels or one level per area? Would you get keys to mini games (survival challenges and races)? Would you have lots of prizes that are in the levels for people to get? And last but not least. Will I love it? Because it sound like a great plan. Oh and when is the first one going to be released? I look forward to playing these levels.2010-02-19 00:58:00

Haha, I thought this thread was already dead.

To all those who volunteered to help, welcome aboard! We need all the help we can get! I'll contact you guys soon.

I look forward to playing these levels.

Each area will have three levels, along with one mini-game. There will be a lot of prizes in each level.

I hope you'll love it

The first will be released probably mid-march, along with an introduction level, and possibly a mini-game.

This sounds like it could really have epic potential (stupid pun). Seems like a lot of people are making big level series that are about over 10 levels long or so.2010-02-20 01:47:00

Sounds cool! I'm doing something in a similar vein for the mini- level contest piggabling set up. The theme is gardens but something is happening, the collector is back! With this new device thingy and he is wreaking havoc, he turned the king and queen to his side and uses them as the front to his take over. I look forward to seeing what you do with this as I love this idea of LBP being infected by darkness and chaos.2010-04-06 17:31:00

ARGGHH ! You've just given away the main surprise development !




*cough* Humhum...Anyway, this sounds great, it seems I've always been aware of this project, but I never really said what I thought.

Well that's done, this sounds great I'd love to finish the fight against the Collector ! :arg:

Haha, entering into a contract with Mm to replace its story mode would be... rather tricky However, I don't think I've got what's the difference between the old story mode that you made up before and the new one

Awesome idea. I can't see many flaws in it's ideas, it will make a great series.
Another reason I'm not good on patience- a good level/series coming up. I often find myself strangled by my own hand when I have to wait for things like this.

I think a nice way to end off the search for help could be all the characters you've met meeting up and kind of being a third set of creators that use abilities to battle alongside you (setting of stuff). If it is so, there is one replacement there had better be.

GLaDOS replaces The Great Magician. It would so work! Teleporting is the new Emmiting!

If not, I'm still playing. It. Will. Kick. Donkey.
