LOST by Nuclearfish

Archive: 21 posts


Yes, that's right - I'm making a LOST level!

Well, six levels in fact. It's going to be rather epic! Each level will roughly follow a shortened storyline of one season, with key plot points and characters, and a lot of jungle platforming inbetween.

Now, although I've been working on it for the last couple of months, I've got very little done of the levels so far. I've got most of the crash site that'll form the start of the first level done (complete with a nice turbine explosion), so don't expect this to be done anytime soon! I won't even have much time for LBP until May, so chances are the first two levels, which I plan to release together, won't arrive until sometime during the Summer.

However, what I have recently finished are the main characters to go in all the levels. I've got no idea what the record for the most custom characters for a level series is, but I reckon 36 is pretty high! I've made a nice promo image to show them all off too (for a larger version, click here (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2768/4481835145_b99fab7d08_b.jpg)):

All the characters have been made using the thick/thin glitch and have moving heads and arms. I've got all the main characters from every season (except Nikki and Paulo, but nobody cares about them anyway), plus a few more that will have an important part to play in one or more of the levels. Oh, and I'll be giving them away as prizes in the levels too.

Comments, questions, ideas and suggestions are always welcome. And if anyone wants some sneak previews at some point, feel free to drop me a friends request!

Oh, and one last thing - because I'm in the UK and like to watch LOST on Sky HD when it airs on Fridays, I haven't seen the latest episode yet, so if anyone feels any urge to mention what happens in it.... don't!

Can't wait to see what you do for the monster.

This looks really good, though. I can't wait to play it.

Fixed the link to the larger image in the first post, you can see the characters much more clearly.


Aaaah, so this is what you've been working on

Now you might understand why I was making a wheelchair. It was going to be Locke's in the wreckage of the plane, but it takes up too much thermo to use anyway.

Nah, it'll be easy! I've got levels 1, 2 and 5 fully planned, and almost complete ideas for 3 and 4. Obviously going to wait til the end of season 6 before thinking about the last level. I won't be able to fit everything in so where the story splits I'm going to focus on one half (the raft rather then blowing open the hatch, and the time flashes on the island rather than the story off the island in season 5 for example).


Can't wait to see what you do for the monster.

Well, I guess it's fortunate black smoke is one of the easiest things to make in LBP.

Seems very interesting... even though I think Lost is God-awful tripe. Can't wait for Winter where I am in Australia, so many things happening.2010-04-02 07:40:00

Oh, nice idea I love your characters. The shape is quite simple, but they do look like the official characters ^^ Good use of gradients too.

Anyway, what about Rousseau ? Don't you intend to make her, she's quite important

Um, great suggestion I live neither in the USA nor in the UK, so I gotta wait for a dubbing for each season As usual, for TV series.

OMG, one of the few shows i watch on television. if u need ANY creative input hit me up, i would LOVE to have some input on anything u put in this level, even if its like "does this tree look good" lol. lost is sweet and this is a pretty good idea, ive seen lost levels but nothing by anyone worth a creative **** and never in a complete manner especially since season 6 is on right now. cant wait.

PS season 6 is SICK so far, love what they're doing. i love dichotomy in general so season 6 is like the epitome of that, just awesomeness.

This is gonna be brilliant! There are no great LOST levels out there as far as I'm aware!

One problem though. Where is Arzt!? How could you forget about Arzt!!?? THE ISLAND DEPENDS ON THAT MAN!!!

If anyone can pull it off it's you, and I hope you are still working on those Harry Potter levels. 2010-04-04 23:28:00

Well, looks like, as always, I made a big mistake with this level idea. Just like with Sacky Potter which I planned to be a series of seven levels, I've realised I'll never get them all finished, so I've decided to cut the six levels down to just one. Better to have a single awesome level that takes months rather thna a half finished level series that I'm bound to give up on at some point IMO.

The level will no longer follow an exact storyline from the Tv show, which means I won't be restricted trying to follow exact plot points (it took me weeks coming up with gameplay for flying keys in Sacky Potter). Instead there'll be a few key and iconic moments, but mainly it'll be a level focused on character iteraction, platforming and exploration. Or something like that anyway.


The other good news is that I'm still making this a level series... but the future levels won't be LOST related. More info on that when this level is finished though.

Oh, still sounds good to me! Like I said, I can't wait to see how you pull this off! You've also caught my interest with the thoughts of how you're going to make this a series! Definitley won't disappoint! 2010-04-15 02:56:00

Aww, I'm disappointed that there will no longer be six levels in the Lost series, but I understand your reasoning. I'm still really looking forward to it!2010-04-15 16:06:00
