STEM Cell Sackboy - DML Competition Winner, Best in Class: Artistic
Archive: 72 posts
| http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEXlco-CYYc Overview: Thanks to the robust level creation tools of LittleBigPlanet, Sackboy will jump into the cellular realm and view stem cell research up close and personal. ?Stem Cell Sackboy? is a sidescrolling adventure that puts players into the ?SackCell? and allows them to interact with embryonic stem cells and participate in an ?accelerated? stem cell therapy procedure. Players will learn about the processes of cell growth and reproduction including the importance and ethical issues of stem cell research in the medical and scientific community, on top of experiencing this groundbreaking research through fun puzzles, minigames, and exploration as a cell! If you guys get a chance, please check out the link and discuss the level if you like the idea. There's also more information about the future level there as well. http://www.dmlcompetition.net/pligg/story.php?title=457 I really would love to continue this project (after Knights of the Azure Palace is finished) and hope it gets chosen as one of the finalists for the Game Changers competition.  | 2010-02-01 19:59:00 Author: gevurah22  Posts: 1476 |
| O.o Donkey.... I work in a stem cell research lab. My PhD thesis is on the genetic programming stem cells into muscle. I wasn't interested much in the competition, but this is a really cool idea and I'd be happy to get involved. If you're interested in collaborating, let me know. By the looks of your grant application, I gather your career is headed in the same direction as mine? | 2010-02-01 20:08:00 Author: Thegide  Posts: 1465 |
Enemy = White Blood Cells  Looks like a Pretty good Idea! (Also, Your gevurah, Yet your Donkey, yet your gevurah?) | 2010-02-01 20:55:00 Author: Nurolight  Posts: 918 |
wow this is.....different...kind of a different style (you're the mecha man  ) but still awesome nonetheless...lemme know if you need beta testing for this aswell id love to participate | 2010-02-02 03:20:00 Author: Shadowcrazy  Posts: 3365 |
| sounds like a winner to me! having played the spore cell phase many times this immediately caught my eye, with some more realistic cells and enemies and maybe even a disease (think seeping gas) er...guess im getting of the topic of education reasons but ide absolutely love to see a spin off series of levels were you run different body scenarios as different cells | 2010-02-02 03:37:00 Author: Littlebigdude805  Posts: 1924 |

By the looks of your grant application, I gather your career is headed in the same direction as mine? I do work in the medical field, but in a completely different direction, lol. I am doing this because I am fond of stem cell research in general. I'll see if adding more people is possible considering you actually do work with stem cells, but I can't promise anything. If not, I'd definitely like your input. And of course, all of y'all can test it assuming it gets chosen. =) | 2010-02-03 22:36:00 Author: gevurah22 Posts: 1476 |
| nice....you got me on PSN so send a message whenever | 2010-02-04 00:52:00 Author: Shadowcrazy Posts: 3365 |

And of course, all of y'all can test it assuming it gets chosen. =) Absolutely! I'd be happy to provide input regardless. There are so many facets to the research - I see lots of potential for a project like this. One of the most beneficial things might be the opportunity to educate people that there are alternatives to embryo harvesting for ES cell research. Given the ethical issues, it's no secret that there are huge political barriers holding back research - but what most of the public is completely unaware of is the potential for obtaining stem cells in different, more ethically acceptable ways. We recently launched this site as a statement from the scientific community to the public about our commitment to safe and ethical research: http://www.stemcellcharter.org/#/charter To think that something like LBP could be a vehicle for this kind of stuff is great. Any time you want to talk more about this, feel free to message me here on on PSN  | 2010-02-04 09:36:00 Author: Thegide Posts: 1465 |
| Hmmm, I figured I might as well try to see if I can get some help from the LBPCentral community in regards to commenting on my project in the DML competition before it closes. Any help would be much appreciated, especially now that I've finished the Knights of the Azure Palace. Kinda imagine a teaching level about stem cells, but with this kind of quality... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDukGGNirh0 =P EDIT: BTW Thegide, that stem cell charter is really sweet. | 2010-02-20 05:26:00 Author: gevurah22 Posts: 1476 |
| Thanks, I know a lot of effort went into it's creation. Politics plays a huge part in what research gets funded these days, and a lot of that political pressure comes from the ethical and moral concerns of a generally uninformed public. A statement like this hopefully helps reassure the public that we are committed to doing research in a responsible way. Anyways, you've got me on board for whatever you need in this project. | 2010-02-20 06:57:00 Author: Thegide Posts: 1465 |
| Woot! Just made the game changers finalist list (http://www.dmlcompetition.net/finalists.php#changer) with this project. Now I can start working overtime on this thing... even though I should've done that a long time ago, lol. | 2010-03-31 19:53:00 Author: gevurah22 Posts: 1476 |
| lol you know what to do when you're ready | 2010-04-01 03:11:00 Author: Shadowcrazy Posts: 3365 |
| Stem Cells are those cells that can ''transform'' into the cells next to it right? Easily explained ofc. | 2010-04-01 03:26:00 Author: Fredrik94  Posts: 342 |
| ddduuude thats AWESOME. yeah... but im dumb so i dont get stem cell research and stuff... | 2010-04-01 03:36:00 Author: Shhabbazz  Posts: 746 |
| ddduuude thats AWESOME. yeah... but im dumb so i dont get stem cell research and stuff... Well, that's what the level is going to help you understand while making it as painless as possible, yet fun at the same time. And don't worry, it's not going to be mind numbingly hard like my other levels. =P | 2010-04-01 05:21:00 Author: gevurah22 Posts: 1476 |
| Well, that's what the level is going to help you understand while making it as painless as possible, yet fun at the same time.

| Haha, c'mon it isn't that hard! =P Like always, I'll be updating the thread with new stuff and testing times once it's reached a playable status in my mind. I have some cool surprises in store, so I hope y'all will be looking forward to it. =) | 2010-04-01 22:33:00 Author: gevurah22 Posts: 1476 |

| can't wait..wondering what the prizes would be for this game lol hope ya win too...would be awesome to show people how LBP can be used for education as well as entertainment | 2010-04-04 00:45:00 Author: Shadowcrazy Posts: 3365 |
| I think Gevurah and I are a shoe-in for at least the $5K prize... in which categories, though is anyone's guess. However, the $50k prize is anyone's bet at this point. Good luck Gev! | 2010-04-04 05:05:00 Author: cdubb024  Posts: 247 |
| Errr, I think you misunderstood the "prizes." Nobody really wins $5,000 or $50,000. You create an itemized budget for a certain amount of money and you get it once you qualify by turning in your final 3 minute project, budget, and something else... assuming your budget is justified. If you happen to somehow justify spending $50,000 on creating your levels, then you get $50,000. If not, it obviously has to be dialed down. Think of the money they're giving away as a grant. And definitely good luck to you as well! =) | 2010-04-05 22:32:00 Author: gevurah22 Posts: 1476 |
| Yeah, they were pretty vague on the money part. I submitted my itemized budget for the second round at $5k per level based on a $50 per hour wage at 100 hours per level. Multiplied by 10 levels, gave me a $50K budget. Funny though... in the original submission application it stated that for the Game Changers category that the budget amount requested didn't matter since the prize amounts were already predetermined. That's what caused the confusion. Apparently they have been getting a lot of inquiries about this and have since sent out a response explaining the budget policy. Originally I had just entered in "$5,000" as my proposed budget because of what I had read when filling out the initial application... but I am going for the big big prize... so I have since had to bump the figure up ten fold. They said it is okay to make that change when submitting your itemized budget as long as the figures were justified. Meh, I guess we shall see. | 2010-04-05 22:43:00 Author: cdubb024 Posts: 247 |
| wow seems this project was more intricate then i thought | 2010-04-05 23:58:00 Author: Shadowcrazy Posts: 3365 |
| Here are some WIP pics from the project: http://www.daviddino.com/stemsack01.jpg http://www.daviddino.com/stemsack02.jpg http://www.daviddino.com/stemsack03.jpg http://www.daviddino.com/stemsack04.jpg http://www.daviddino.com/stemsack05.jpg Nearly everything is moving, even in the background to give a sense of life to the world. | 2010-04-17 04:44:00 Author: gevurah22 Posts: 1476 |
| wow looks nice, question tho what happened to the part that was in the youtube video where you were a cell swimming around in blood/plasma and such? that part i was looking foward to viewing in the pix | 2010-04-17 05:11:00 Author: Shadowcrazy Posts: 3365 |
| That'll be later. Having the entire level be in there wasn't really conducive to the learning aspect so it's been scaled down. | 2010-04-17 05:18:00 Author: gevurah22 Posts: 1476 |
| oh i see...well can't wait until this is ready for testing | 2010-04-17 05:29:00 Author: Shadowcrazy Posts: 3365 |
| I'm playing with fire with the deadline, but here's some more WIP pics. http://www.daviddino.com/stemsack06.jpg http://www.daviddino.com/stemsack07.jpg The proposal video will be done by tomorrow night, but the level itself will probably be finished a week after. | 2010-04-18 09:26:00 Author: gevurah22 Posts: 1476 |
| looking sexy there | 2010-04-18 09:41:00 Author: Shadowcrazy Posts: 3365 |

| lol science is fuuuuuuuun, lol can't wait to play it i smell i winner! LOL, that was all spur of the moment dialog. If possible, please comment on the youtube or possibly register and comment on my digital media learning competition page here: http://www.dmlcompetition.net/pligg/story.php?title=457 Every little bit helps! Plus I'm glad you like what you see! | 2010-04-19 05:56:00 Author: gevurah22 Posts: 1476 |
| Suh-weeeet. I'm diggin' the concept a lot. Looks pretty good so far. I was beginning to think that I was the only person to get their vid submitted in time. You really DID cut it close. | 2010-04-19 06:19:00 Author: cdubb024 Posts: 247 |
| ok i just have to ask....those two scientists in the beginning...that's you and your wife right? lol....i have a feeling im right lol and AWESOME level man loved the muscle cells the most they looked very nice and strange too | 2010-04-19 06:40:00 Author: Shadowcrazy Posts: 3365 |
| Suh-weeeet. I'm diggin' the concept a lot. Looks pretty good so far. I was beginning to think that I was the only person to get their vid submitted in time. You really DID cut it close. As long as it's in, deadlines don't matter, lol. ok i just have to ask....those two scientists in the beginning...that's you and your wife right? lol....i have a feeling im right Yup, that's me and the wifey! | 2010-04-19 16:47:00 Author: gevurah22 Posts: 1476 |
| Looks great dude! Makes me anxious for that shark/bomb/airplane/ramp/dbz styled level you mentioned making sometime. The level has a profession feel to it and I feel all sciencey just by watching the vid! Great job dude! You'r creation skills are growing at a astounding rate! | 2010-04-19 17:03:00 Author: damaz10  Posts: 771 |
| Yup, that's me and the wifey! HAAAAA!!!! lol i knew it made me lol the first time i saw it hehe this is something to look foward to seeing when playing haha | 2010-04-19 18:05:00 Author: Shadowcrazy Posts: 3365 |
| Thanks guys! These levels aren't going to be long, but because of the complexity of the visuals, it's a huge thermo eater. The first two levels were originally one, etc. And that's not really taking into account simplifying the stem cell information! | 2010-04-19 20:28:00 Author: gevurah22 Posts: 1476 |
| well hopefully this gets done soon because i gots to play soon | 2010-04-21 04:30:00 Author: Shadowcrazy Posts: 3365 |
| Sometime by the end of the week. =) I wanna start working on an idea I have for an Iron Man level soon, lol. | 2010-04-22 21:40:00 Author: gevurah22 Posts: 1476 |

| You'll find out soon enough. :3 | 2010-05-05 00:24:00 Author: gevurah22 Posts: 1476 |
| so i guess that means cdubb won? considering this update and the title update That means that Gevurah and I are both going to the finalist ceremony to see where we stand. Wish us luck! | 2010-05-05 00:46:00 Author: cdubb024 Posts: 247 |
| That means that Gevurah and I are both going to the finalist ceremony to see where we stand. Wish us luck! lol thanks for the spoiler haha...goodluck and godspeed gentlemen | 2010-05-05 05:16:00 Author: Shadowcrazy Posts: 3365 |
| lol thanks for the spoiler haha...goodluck and godspeed gentlemen Stuff had to be retracted due to details changing, but rest assured everything is still according to plan. =) And here's the project logo I came up with. http://www.daviddino.com/stemcellsackboylogofinalsm.png | 2010-05-06 17:38:00 Author: gevurah22 Posts: 1476 |
| 3 Cheers for JUMPING THE GUN!!!! "Hip hip" | 2010-05-06 18:18:00 Author: cdubb024 Posts: 247 |

| logo looks nice...any chance you can make more changes like the last O? looked really nice | 2010-05-06 23:54:00 Author: Shadowcrazy Posts: 3365 |
| Thanks mang, we'll see about it. I think I'm going to lighten the stem cell in the back since the colors are rather prominent, but I might throw in some changes elsewhere. 3 Cheers for JUMPING THE GUN!!!! "Hip hip" Haha, no doubt. EDIT: I created a project website. http://www.daviddino.com/daviddino.com/Stem_Cell_Sackboy.html Of course, it will be updated as the project continues on. ^^ | 2010-05-09 21:51:00 Author: gevurah22 Posts: 1476 |
| lol i know this is probably going to sound old for you but....stem cell sackboy sequel for LBP2? with sackbots....lol sorry i know you probably have been hearing about this nonstop...but still lol you were the first person i had to ask about levels... especially because gundam DLC + sackbots = gevurahGOD lol | 2010-05-09 22:15:00 Author: Shadowcrazy Posts: 3365 |
| lol i know this is probably going to sound old for you but....stem cell sackboy sequel for LBP2? with sackbots....lol sorry i know you probably have been hearing about this nonstop...but still lol you were the first person i had to ask about levels... especially because gundam DLC + sackbots = gevurahGOD lol You know, I'm going to propose that question to the foundation. Considering it isn't that far along, there's so much potential in making Stem Cell Sackboy even easier to send its message. We'll see though. ^^ As for the suits... you know its gonna be crazy. :3 | 2010-05-10 00:14:00 Author: gevurah22 Posts: 1476 |
| Beta 1 has just been published. Go ahead and mess around with it. I'll see you guys in New York! | 2010-05-22 22:34:00 Author: gevurah22 Posts: 1476 |
| lol hellz yeah man gundams with sackbots will mean worlds colliding also going to check out the beta...will provide feedback shortly | 2010-05-23 00:08:00 Author: Shadowcrazy Posts: 3365 |
| it just got announced I won "Best in Class: Artistic" for Stem Cell Sackboy in the digital media learning competition! I also found out my budget got doubled as well! I'll post the full list of winners when it goes up officially on the press release. | 2010-05-25 15:42:00 Author: gevurah22 Posts: 1476 |
| hey at least you're part of the winners...so it's good enough having you there representing LBP for us....and now with LBP2 coming out....things can only get better | 2010-05-25 17:05:00 Author: Shadowcrazy Posts: 3365 |
| Thanks man. It looks like we're good to go to push this project onto LPB2, so that's good to know. I can get really crazy now. ^^ | 2010-05-26 04:36:00 Author: gevurah22 Posts: 1476 |
| Wow, congrats! | 2010-05-26 05:44:00 Author: thekevinexpress  Posts: 256 |
