More Stuff for LBPC Exp Store (when it returns)

Archive: 11 posts


Well, I've been thinking about this for a while... and to be honest, have been scratching my head for months trying to think of something else that could be added to the LBPC Store when it returns in what is looking to be a few weeks.

So far, I haven't got much really... So far, I've come up with only two ideas:

1. Separate the pieces of the bundles, so that you'd have to purchase various parts of it and not all on one go. This would probably be a lot tougher on CC though since I'm pretty sure beforehand he just had a premade user group he'd add you to as soon as you purchased the bundle, and seperating all that stuff would probably be way too tough on him.

2. Some sort of site project like the LittleBigResort concept way back when, and you'd purchase new stuff for some room... or something...

Yeah, neither of those are too realistic in any way, and almost every other idea (selling some user made stuff) would go against the community part or whatever... And obviously we can't sell real stuff, so yeah.

so why am I making this thread? Because I want to see if anyone actually can think of something that can reasonably be posted on the store when it returns with Experience... it's a long shot, but still. Yep. Anyone suddenly able to have the idea I've been trying to think of for months? D:

The reason we have never done this is because everything is done manually. When someone buys an upgrade, I have to edit their profile and include them in a new usergroup that provides them with the new features. If we split everything up, I'd have to make individual usergroups for each one, and I'd be doing a lot more busywork than I do now. As soon as the process of adding someone to a new usergroup upon the purchase of an item can be automated, we'll do this, but right now it's just not an option.

I don't really understand what you mean. Would you mind elaborating?

I think he is suggesting the ability to buy extra features for your profile page, to allow further customization?2010-02-18 01:23:00

How about an option you can buy where you can upload a picture of your Sackboy costume (with dimension restrictions and a screening process), and it can get randomly displayed somewhere either at the top of the page or on the front page, with a link back to the profile of the user?

Just a random idea.

seeing as how i have the smallest reputation here, my vote probably won't count. but i was thinking, maybe some sort of object type things. it would be where you'd have your usually items under your avatar, but these ones are more interactive.

like an example would be this: http://kcinvestmentproperty.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/easybutton.jpg

and when someone clicks on it, it says "That was easy" whether in text or by audio.

Yeah, that's... more what I meant, but I know, probably can't happen <_>.

And... hm... eh, not too sure if those ideas would be possible, but keep 'em coming, we may be able to think of something potentially possible sooner or alter <_>

Hows about a costomizable sackboy avatar that you could dress up?

Just a comment from the Peanut gallery....

(And everyone goes, "Who's THAT guy?!?")

I don't think that matters too much. Your opinion matters just as much as everyone elses... apart from maybe CC since it's his site...

I think this might be what Sage is trying too say but... how about you have a sackboy and you can buy clothes and dress up your sackboy?

Not sure if that's entirely feasible, but yeah, something like that would be cool if possible... which it's probably not... oh well

I remember that something like that was already made. I don't mean LBP itself either. I'm going to go look for it.

Found it! http://www.mediamolecule.com/blog/article/takoriis_dress-a-sackboy_flash_fun/
