Kikaiwa: The Genesis Theatre

| Kikaiwa: The Genesis TheatreVanemiera As the title says, this time it takes you to the theatre. Some people who already know my style of level building might be suprised. First it's not an actual "level" and second it's not VR. So what's so special about this theatre? Just recalln how typical story telling levels work. Your sackboy stands in one spot and magic-mouths with cutscenes focus on the scenery. Well this level takes another approach und brings the scenery to YOU. There is not a single cutscene or something similar. Well you too just stand there all the time and do nothing... oh well not even that :arg: The set as such is a neat little story of how the Kikaiwa(ergo all my levels) was created. So nobody can say now that the Kikaiwa has no story!  If everything works out good i'll publish a tutorial over the weekend so maybe other people can make their own theatre levels. A special thanks goes to all the people which let me take a photo of them. You are now officially inhabitants of the LBP:hero: (i'll add a list later of all psn names. i'm just a bit tired now...  ) | 2010-01-21 20:22:00 Author: Vanemiera  Posts: 329 |
| Heh... I was wondering what that photo was for! I'll check this out tonight. It sounds interesting. | 2010-01-21 20:48:00 Author: CCubbage  Posts: 4430 |
Well, i hope you'll like it. | 2010-01-21 22:38:00 Author: Vanemiera Posts: 329 |
Wow, that was cool.  That must have been quite a pain to put together and test, but the result is great! The story is very interesting and wonderfully presented. I noticed there were a lot of typos though. I don't know if those were intentional to fit in the text limit/avoid the censor or if they're simply typos. :star::star::star::star::star: and hearted nonetheless. | 2010-01-21 23:45:00 Author: Gilgamesh  Posts: 2536 |
| The typos isn't intended. Got to fix that later. Just wanted to get the level off my shoulders. | 2010-01-22 00:58:00 Author: Vanemiera Posts: 329 |
| Hey Van! So you went and posted it! I told you I would help with the typo's. But as I said I do not specialize in grammer...lol I'll have to have a looks see tonight. I hope I look good in my photo | 2010-01-22 14:49:00 Author: AJnKnox  Posts: 518 |
| I wondered what the pic was for . Awesome level though, I loved the mechanics of it all, definetly a better way than using the magic mouths to jump to a different screen. I'd love to have a look behind the scenes next time your on. Really good story to, I was wondered how Kikiawa got the icon and ideas from, now I know. Awesome stuff, 5* and hearted. | 2010-01-22 15:18:00 Author: GruntosUK  Posts: 1754 |
| Aaaaaw, does that mean I'm too late for my pic? Didn't know you were gonna publish it this soon. | 2010-01-22 15:21:00 Author: Zwollie  Posts: 2173 |
| You really surprised me once gain with this one! I sat back, and was enjoying the show. I was totally entertained and relaxed... and was ready to put a "relaxing tag" on it when you suddenly threw a brutal boss in at the end. Wow - fantastic idea! Couple little things - first of all, near the beginning you tell me to put down my controller, THEN you ask me to sticker what the narration speed should be. So, I had to pick it up again..... There were some mispellings in the text, but obviously forgiven - I can't speak German at all, so I can't complain about you not getting every word in english exact! However, if you wanted to correct a few here's some I wrote down: "borring" is "boring" "Openned the chest" is "Opened the chest" "But befor finish" - "before" is missing the e on the end "Aggressiv" - "Aggressive" is missing the e on the end "Stockpilled" is "Stockpiled" - 1 too many l's. There may have been some more but I was trying to follow the story... small thing, but since it's story driven I thought you may want to correct a few. 5 stars and a heart! | 2010-01-22 16:19:00 Author: CCubbage Posts: 4430 |
| Aaaaaw, does that mean I'm too late for my pic? Didn't know you were gonna publish it this soon. It's not too late. I'll extend the collage further. Especialy because there are some people and old friends i definitively want there. E.g. Snowspot, Thommy and you Zwollie Couple little things - first of all, near the beginning you tell me to put down my controller, THEN you ask me to sticker what the narration speed should be. So, I had to pick it up again..... Awwww... :3 ^^ There were some mispellings in the text, but obviously forgiven - I can't speak German at all, so I can't complain about you not getting every word in english exact! However, if you wanted to correct a few here's some I wrote down: "borring" is "boring" "Openned the chest" is "Opened the chest" "But befor finish" - "before" is missing the e on the end "Aggressiv" - "Aggressive" is missing the e on the end "Stockpilled" is "Stockpiled" - 1 too many l's. There may have been some more but I was trying to follow the story... small thing, but since it's story driven I thought you may want to correct a few. Thanks for the info. There will be some furhter spellchecking. The chase with "openned" is a bit trickier. When i write it with "opened" it seems that it gets a REALLY NASTY word, kids shouldn't see. Could be some other word though... Thanks to all the people for the positive feedback. I really appreciate it. | 2010-01-22 18:19:00 Author: Vanemiera Posts: 329 |
| Hey Van! Congrats on the SPOTLIGHT! I just want to say how impressive this level is. You really don't know if you haven't seen the 'behind the screen' logic you 'might' think this a simple level (well OK if your like me your logic is very basic, and the logic he has in this level is anything but simple!) I loved the whole concept and thought the story was well done and interesting. If I had any cons at all it was that I was distracted by the visible pistons...but that was a design choice so I get it. 5 ***** brilliant tag and hearted! And I love that I am in the LBP universe pic! *You go Egyptian Monkey King*!! I have a poison dart frog fetish! LOL | 2010-01-25 16:14:00 Author: AJnKnox Posts: 518 |
| When i write it with "opened" it seems that it gets a REALLY NASTY word, kids shouldn't see. Could be some other word though... Has something to do with "pene" I believe. Happened does the same thing. | 2010-01-25 16:17:00 Author: GruntosUK Posts: 1754 |
| Hey this was great! It says in the level info that it's copyable? I'd be interested in copying it to see how it works, but I didn't see the copy button. I gave it 5 stars, but there are a few nit picks: "The world was once again filled with a see of lights." - see should be sea. "...they gathered in one of their all famous debattes." - debattes should be debates. "...So I build this theatre..." - build should be built. Great job and congrats on the spotlight! | 2010-01-26 00:09:00 Author: Powershifter  Posts: 668 |
| Hey Vanemiera, I watched this level tonight. Absolutely incredible! Your storytelling was simply fantastic. I loved every bit of it! 5 stars and hearted, though if you manage to fix the few spelling errors I'll have to give it 6 stars  | 2010-01-27 04:15:00 Author: Thegide  Posts: 1465 |

English is a foreign language for me, so can't you go easy on me?!? xD Just kidding, thanks for the feedback gide. | 2010-01-28 04:53:00 Author: Vanemiera Posts: 329 |
| really enjoyed this last night, really like the story and it all well made | 2010-01-28 11:20:00 Author: jump_button  Posts: 1014 |
| Well for English as a secondary language, your writing skills are phenomenal. I could go easy on you and say it was perfect, but then I wouldn't be helping you grow as a creator Really though, it was a fantastic experience, and if the language is the only thing I can comment on, you're doing well in my books. I think it's a huge accomplishment to land a "do nothing but read" level on the cool pages - it pretty much violates every level building rule in LBP and succeeds hugely in doing so. What I think makes the story so good, aside from your entertaining stage performances, is that it goes beyond it's literal meaning. This is a story that comments on religious, political, and scientific views and dives deep into self-awareness and morality. Thought provoking indeed. Well done, friend, well done! | 2010-01-28 19:34:00 Author: Thegide Posts: 1465 |
