An LBPC Trophy System

Archive: 34 posts


Okay, the PSP section has been mostly quiet for far too long, so how about a new idea to get things started?

What if we started making an achievement system for our levels? We'd make small trophies in prize bubbles, hidden away in alcoves or as rewards for going out of the way. These would have speech bubbles attached to them saying what you got them for.

Here's an example - let's say there was a very hard way to break my level (not that there is... right?). Because it's so hard to fix, I decide to make it a joke - if you launch yourself up to that part, you earn the "I see Logic, I see France" Trophy. Then the lucky player could take the Trophy to a little show-off level that would act as a sort of user's museum. (I know this part sounds like a community hotel. But I think at least a few of us would find a cool way to display them.)

I can imagine many uses for this... the next Destiny having a trophy for completing all the side missions, end-choice levels like Sackula having opposing "Vampire Slayer" and "Tasty Sack Blood" awards depending on which choice you make.

What do you guys think?

I like this idea, but how could we stop people from making fake or "copywrited" trophies?2010-05-22 00:20:00

I'm not sure you could - but that's fine by me, we'll all know who the real winners are.2010-05-22 00:33:00

This is a cool idea. I would want my trophies on a level I would update everytime I get one. This level would be uncopyable and be named "LBPC Trophies" I wouldn't mind constantly updating it. Plus, everyone who wants to, could do it and they could even make their custom trophy case.

This is just an idea so people can't rip this off.

Yeah, that's what I meant. I thought people could make little hang-outs of sorts where they could be displayed.2010-05-22 03:30:00

Hidy Ho B3! This sounds like an interesting idea, but I sure wish that we had customizable stickers, because it could make this soooo much better. So, the way you are picturing it now is to have community objects (trophies) which are given out when someone finds a secret area or does something special? So you would have to add them to your own level via create mode? So this "Trophy Level" would be something that the LBPC community would need to work on together, and we would each make a special part of the level for our own trophy?

I can certainly see how this could be cool. You could even have switches on the trophy that unlock areas of the trophy level and show additional stuff about the level that you got the trophy from. The only issue is that people may not look too highly on the fact that it is a community trophy level. I like the concept, but it could get a lot of bad feedback outside of LBPC.

Alrighty, that's all I've got. Thanks for mentioning Destiny as an example

That would be very fun ^^! And AmazingFlyingPoo's suggestions sound cool as well.

I don't know, but maybe making the display level sort of 'playable' would lessen the chances of it turning out like a community hotel and getting bad feedback. Like maybe there could be a mini-storyline where anyone playing the level would have to find hidden trophy rooms for some reason (and be awarded with point bubbles or, perhaps, even a trophy of his/her own for finding them). It might take a bit more work though, I guess. But, anyway, that's just a suggestion .

Hey great Idea! I actually made a little trophy case level of my own a while back to display my superstar sticker,then I ended up making trophies for 100% completion and stuff. I never published it because I didn't want to be showing off or really snobby, so it stays in a little space on my moon and gets updated every time I can think of a Trophy to add. I might publish it fro a while just so you guys can see what I mean.2010-05-22 09:34:00

This is a brilliant idea!
I'd definately participate in this, but we will need to take some things into account. Trophys may not be able to be used by others in create mode if theyre made by someone who owns DLC.
also ppl may make up fake trophies to make themselves look awesome. so i suggest making them really complex and unforge-able, also with some way of determining its authenticity. eg. a tiny tiny logo barely visible w/out zooming in

We could make a special trophy with the rare gold sticker on it for the people who deserve it.

A person who won the sticker would have to make it.

The best part is that no one can copy it.

But then the people who don't have the sticker, which is almost everybody, can't even look at it. I think each trophy should have a completely different but intricate design. And maybe a little something special, like something on the back that is barely noticeable, to make it more difficult to forge.

Just in case anybody is still thinking about this idea the title "I Will Survive" has been taken as a trophy.

Also, easy anti-forgery method: use materials that have unique patterns.

Or we could just ask Cambridge Studios or Sony (whoever makes that kinda stuff) to make special stickers for us, or maybe even 3D objects like in Turbo!2010-05-25 02:47:00

Yeah, but we want people to be able to place these in museum levels, which they can't do if they don't have access to ALL the stickers or materials. Plus, Cambridge has better things to do(like come up with a newer, awesomer pack) than create special stickers for a just-for-fun community project.2010-05-25 02:49:00

Hmm.. true.
Or they could let one of the great creators in LBPC get a Sticker-maker to put on the museum levels?

This is a really interesting idea! I'll have to think about it a bit and see if I can come up with any ideas/suggestions that haven't been mentioned already.

And by the way, "I see Logic, I see France" = win. I LOL'ed at that.

I'll have to check it out later, but I'm sure it'll be awesome! I'm gonna be sure to put one in my next level.

I think that this is a really good idea. You could have a sensor switch that activates an emmiter when you pick it up. The emmiter could emit an object like the "Achievement/Trophy unlocked" you get on Xbox/PS3.

Another thing about forging, I agree about making it complex. Perhaps make an object that relates to the title of the trophy.

Sorry Sweet. But the "I Will Survive" Trophy is the first LBPC Trophy. Also, how intricate were the designs. Cause the more intricate the better, otherwise people could easily copy it.

The psp doesn't support trophies unfortunately.

If they did, it would be an easy way to kill time trying to collect all on psp.
Anyways, after reading this, I was thinking for my level, it may be able so you can complete some achievements doing certain stuff.

Anyways, it won't be out in awhile, so don't get your hopes up.
Oh, one quick side note, if I start to lose a lot of thermo, then I may be able to exclude this in my latest level. >_>

Anyways, peace!

I think this is a great idea. I toyed with something similar when I put the trophies in my Trial of the Treasure god level. What I came up with is a player mansion that we could create. It would have empty wings, many rooms and contain a storage room with furniture objects like different shelves and trophy cases where people could display their trohpies. It would be a base template everyone could start with and decorate and change to suit them. It would be a way for players to interact and express themselves to the community kinda like the Pod in LBP PS3. I could see the stuff people coming up with here being pretty amazing.

I finally came to the conclusion that there would be too many issues if we tried to do this. The main one being how levels are updated. They would have to create some kind of subscription feature that would let people update these automatically when they connect. Updating a couple would be ok but it would get way too time consuming to update more than a few. Also having CS do this would be so much better because they could add other data like maybe the players TOP GUN list that shows the levels where you are #1 or maybe even in the top five. The copying of trophies didn't even occur to me but I can just see it now.... "100 trophies from the top levels" level...

I think your idea is one MM should explore because the game designed to reward creation so much more than the actually people actually playing the levels themselves. Something like this might attract more non-creator players to play our levels =)

As for myself, I can say I'd be happy to update my room a lot, maybe at the end of the day. I'm already working on a "playground" room that's not a level but more of a diversion, with little things like a VelcroJonze style ride, a super-zoomed in room for when I want to make a new costume, updates on my levels, and more. I can easily expand my area to add a trophies showroom.

Also - for anyone who's making Trophies - these things should be included.
*A magic mouth (Invisible, preferably) that tells the player the name, the what, and the where. Ex: "I See Logic, I See France" - Break the level. - From 'Blue Behemoth' "
*If your level hasn't already made your thermo start tying a noose (Poo, Taffey, you're free. ;-) ) then try sweeds idea of Trophy Earned emitters.

I'll publish my trophies under "LBPC Trophies" because i'm quite proud of a few of them. For the little authentic logo, we make a very little sticker, I know a glitch where you can make stickers as small as you want, or a little something that no-one would notice unless they knew what to look for. We could also PM each other what the authentification mark was, so no-one could check this forum and make correct forgeries. But the trophies have to be really hard to get, otherwise there is not much point making them...2010-05-26 20:08:00

There's only two trophies out. And if you made the trophies you are speaking of, ain't that a little cheap?

I really don't know where this thread is going, so i'm giving up on it. by the way those are ones I just made for myself, not for the community. I made those before this thread was made.2010-05-27 17:48:00

Invader Zim trophies out now!!
If you complete all missions from each character then you'll win four character trophies which will be awarded at the scoreboard. They are very detailed so forgeries are highly unlikely, plus its not overly hard to win them. Well what are u waiting for? GO GET THOSE TROPHIES!
