Archive: 71 posts


This thread is for planning and such for the Glass Orb project. If you need to ask what it is, you probably shouldn't be here.

Ok as for who's publishing it we could make a new account to publish the level/series and at the end we could have a list of all the people who helped (or even credits)

EDIT: Oh and if you need to ask what it is come here (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=t=21058). This is just a level/series based on this true event in the link i just gave ya.

First order of business: Pick a team captain.

Team captain duties to include:
- creating a PSN to publish under
- send friend requests from the PSN to team members
- host online create where we can bring objects/areas we've created

I nominate Dandy since he took the initiative of starting this thread.

Need to agree on basic outline of level, determine objects and areas to be included, and assign to willing creators.

I plan on building more Hotel interior and Dusseldorf backgrounds.

I guess I could do it, sure. The PSN would probably be something along the lines of "Glass Orb Project" or something. I'm gonna need to know for sure who's involved so that I can send invites to the right people, though. Plus, I (likely) gotta go through the Story Mode to get all the building stuff again. Anyone wanna help me out with that bit? 2010-01-13 19:03:00

You could always download a 100% save to get everything for that account. since you aren't worried about trophies. Gamefaqs has one.2010-01-13 19:07:00

Good call. I, for some reason, thought there were problems using those saves for, like, online stuff and stuff, not just trophies. That just made my life a while lot easier. *presses Thanks! button*

Alright, then. Also, since this new setup doesn't automatically show PSN names, I'm gonna need those from you guys.

EDIT: Ah, nevermind, I can get them from your profiles.

Well, the LogicPack was published under LogicPack, and I think yours might be a bit too long. But you're right, I'll hold off on the PSN for now.

EDIT: @plasmavore: No problem. We haven't got much (if anything) done right now, so it's the perfect time to hop in.

Well sicne I just had a peek over at the LBPC Game thread and saw I wasn't chosen, and the LittleBigMyth group I'm in hasn't made any progress for about two weeks now, I might as well have a go at this, it sounds fun and I think you need an experienced Cardboard user in these levels.

Count me in!



I'm good at thinking of stories and stuff so I could maybe write the script.. ?

Confirm my participation in the project. Sorry for the inactivity, I've been doing some other things.

I also second Kernel's choice of TheGlassCabal. And I could co-write the story along with building, if Plasmavore is chosen

Okay, first off, I'll go edit the first post really quick and add you guys to the "confirmed" list.
Second, plasmavore, I was planning on doing the writing and planning and such (is that producing?) but we could co-write it.
Third, I'll go make that group right now. The group will be invite-only so we don't get just anybody hopping in and messing it all up.

It's made. Sending invites now. For the moment, until we get a set strategy, let's keep our discussions in a sort of "Social Board" discussion. Once planning starts, I'll set up some more, for each segment (I.E. Writing, Set Pieces, etc.). Sound good?

EDIT: Invites have been sent to all currently confirmed members.

As for PSN names, if you haven't made one yet, make it "The Grand Inquisitor" or something like that.

I don't know if this is related but I found an atgnat.com. on the net. Apparently "atgnat is a full-service video production and website design firm located in Houston, Texas" and they "offer high definition video production packages including internet videos, dvds and commercials".

Anyway, how about calling the hotel The Schnitzelheimer? It's not a huge deviation from the original name and has a similar meaning (snigger), but it won't offend anyone. The word "schnitzel" is German for sausage, and it's pronounced like the name Fritzl, as in Josef Fritzl (the Austrian dude who kept his daughter in a cellar).

BTW...is this project gonna be an online create affair, or it it a case of everyone makes their own bits and then submits 'em to their team leader to be built into the level? If it's online create, then I'll warn you now...my broadband connection's pretty rough!

A bit of both really if you can't play online don't worry too much you can make stuff on your own and they will be put into the level.

How about we make a list of everyone's strengths so that we can allocate appropriate tasks and form skill- balanced teams.

My own strength lies in aesthetics and building original, imaginative set pieces. I'm particularly good at making custom stickers and building complex, realistic looking objects.

I'm not so good at producing complicated logic or novel gameplay mechanics, so my levels are often more of a strange and atmostpheric journey than solid platforming action.

If anyone wants to see my capabilities for themselves, check out my Gothic Reverie levels. Or ask me nicely and I might send you a key to my new level Tenement, but I'll warn you...this was built for my own twisted amusement and not really intended for general public access, so it's not quite LBP as you know it.

This is bad news ATGNAT must of got hold of the glass orb! It's the only thing powerful enough to do something like this!2010-01-19 17:57:00

Author:

Posts: 5592


I know this is a very old thread but the creator spotlight... threw a spotlight on it.. so to speak.

While doing some google searching for information about level creating (new to LBP and trying to determine if I have the creative juice to even attempt level building) I came across lbpcentral and the creator spotlight which led me on the search of the missing Glass Orb.

After reading the thread about ATGNAT's message I couldn't help but follow the whole story hoping that a level/series was actually created. So to end my excessive ranting for such a short question I will get to my point:

Was a level/series ever created out of this? After all the hype I would love to play it. I haven't even played any of Ungeth's levels but after reading the spotlight I will be doing that when i get off work today!

I can only confirm that we never ended up finishing it to my knowledge. Whether we end up finishing depends on who is still active and they are free to continue the project. I for one wouldn't mind putting some time aside to help with this, but I can't speak for everyone else.2011-01-20 23:57:00

Posts: 2046


umm.. as I stated I just started playing lbp so I don't know a thing about creating.. all I have done so far is run through the create tutorial. One thing that I was thinking would be cool is to have sackboy always chasing after the orb throughout the level.. the orb always staying out of his reach... and at the end of the series or level having the orb he has been chasing just be a cheap piece of glass.. or have something fall on it and smash it right when you think you are about to get it..

I don't know.. This has got my braining working with main plot ideas but I don't know if I am creative enough to actually create a level like the few that I have played on line by others... peoples imaginations amaze me..

Hey guys, I am good at making doors, planning out rooms, and I am getting better at sackbot programming. I also got the collectors edition and have lots of DLC costumes if that helps. I say the first level is very ominous, and its a giant obstacle course trying to get to room 63b. Eh?2011-01-21 02:17:00

I believe ISTwisted is working on a film set for a machinima.

Two really cool sets... a recreation of the Dusseldorf sky line seen from the Rhine, and the Schwarts Hotel. Both half finished. Not a lot of time and constantly distracted by new ideas.
Would be open to letting anyone from the group copy if you're interested in working on them.

So what's this Machinima then?

Well, it was "machinima" when all I knew about LBP2 was you could make movies. When I heard about that and level linking I became less concerned about how the over-the-top detail was taxing the thermo and just kept working. Now that I've seen what the game is capable of I'm having all sorts of ideas. It'll definatly be more fun as a playable experience. Just more "guided" than you're average level. I'll elaborate more on specific ideas in the group pages. (very soon... hopefully)


do you put it in a box box box box box?shhhhhhh

wow, this sounds amazing. I would like to help but due to lack of time and talent don't think would be able to. I do have some ideas though. From reading through the thread where this started to here, I hope this will be a comedy/action/thriller level. you know, sackboy in wrong place at the wrong time, mistaken identity, caught up in some super secret society. I hope you guys can finish this, because it sounds so intriguing.2011-01-31 21:00:00

Lol...deja vu. There was a load of creators who decided to make the glass orb level over a year ago, but it never came to fruition.

And now this! Where on earth did you people drag this old horse from to start flogging it again?

Besides....I already have the glass orb safely locked away in my vault
