The
LittleBigWorkshop
Monthly Level Theme
Create Contest

July

So rumour has it that the LittleBigPlanet will be seeing quite the increase in superheroes over the next couple of months...
However on the LittleBigPlanet there's truly only one hero that's heralded throughout the land!

The Hessian Hero, the Playful Protagonist, the Caped Creator...
We could only possibly be talking about the one and only...
Sackboy!

With these new Sackboy Superheroes on the way, its upto the Creators and Creator Curators of the LittleBigPlanet to ensure that there's enough peril and amazement to marvel at, so that these heroes can truly live up to their name!

That's where you come in for our new theme...
Sackboy to the Rescue!



This month we want you to construct a level that will pit our heroic Sackboy against a great peril for him to overcome!
Is an evil villian trying to take over the LittleBigPlanet? Are the people in danger from a natural disaster?
Or perhaps a bunch of small-time crooks simply chose to rob the wrong bank on the wrong day!?

The choice is entirely upto you!
It's upto you, our talented Community of Creators to decide what exactly Sackboy will have to do to save the day!

Create a tale of Sackboy's amazing exploits and you may just be in with a chance of winning a Rare Prize Crown!

So time to get crafting those superhero tales for our July theme of...
Sackboy to the Rescue!



Even superheroes have to obey certain rules...

Rules

1. The contest is open to ALL regions.

2. This contest is for the original LittleBigPlanet on Playstation 3, so please do not create and publish levels on LittleBigPlanet PSP for the purpose of entering this contest.

3. The level must relate to the theme of the month in someway, in this case the theme is "Sackboy to the Rescue!" and therefore such an appropriate level is required to be eligible for entry. Whether or not a level meets the theme for the month is entirely the judges' decision.

4. The month's entries must be published before the 1st day of the following month. Meaning that the deadline for this month's theme of "Sackboy to the Rescue!" is July 31st.

5. Once the deadline has passed, you may re-publish your level for the purpose of fixing serious bugs/problems or adding minor aesethic adjustments.
However you must not alter your level drastically, for example by increasing its overall length or adding entirely new sections to the level. Any level considered to have been altered drastically after the deadline will be disqualified.

6. Entries for each theme must be brand new published levels. We will not accept previously published levels that were originally published before the announcement of the month's theme. Any levels found to have been published before the announcement will be disqualifed.

7. Each player may only submit one level per month for the contest, any player found to have published more than one level will be disqualified for that particular month's contest.

8. There is only a single Prize Crown to be awarded to the winner chosen by the judges for each theme, which will be awarded to the PSN that the level is published under. You may use Online Create if you wish, however bear in mind that there's only a single prize on offer and it will be awarded to the publisher of the level.

9. At the end of each month, the month's theme will end and judging will begin. The judges consist of myself and a number of other community members who have been selected especially for the task of judging these levels. Whilst we will endeavour to pick the level that we feel is best amongst the entries, you may not always agree, however the judges' decision is ultimately final.

How To Submit Your Level

To submit your level for this month's theme, just add the term "(LBW7)" to your level's name.
LBW for LittleBigWorkshop and the number 7, since it's the 7th month's contest.
For this month though, the term is "(LBW7)".

Just put that term into your level's name and provided that you publish the level before August 1st and the level meets the month's theme, it will be eligible.
Judges will not be held responsible for not judging a level they couldn't locate due to not following these given instructions.

With the correct term in your published level's name though, we should be able to locate the level on the LittleBigPlanet server and judge it accordingly.

So just follow the instructions above and your level should be fine.

Once you've published your level, feel free to use a single post in this thread or even the Promotion Zone to promote your level to the masses, although whether you choose to promote your level further is entirely optional.

Please do not ask the judges if they have found and/or played your level yet.
Quite simply we will most likely have a lot of entries to get through and we just will not have the time to keep answering such questions, however I can assure you that the judges' will play every single level submitted properly.

Therefore it is vitally important that you remember to place the given term into your level's name, as the judges will not be held responsible for not judging any levels that they are unable to locate on the LittleBigPlanet server due to the level not being published in the manner described.

That's everything covered now, so feel free to begin creating!
Any questions, feel free to send a PM my way.



Good luck with creating your superhero tales, I'm sure that LittleBigPlanet's newest residents will be most pleased with them!

This is something I could do. I could integrate it with the concept from another level I've been working on. Yesss..

Which tells you never to delete a level. If you really need the space, back it up to a USB stick.

I wonder if the Marvel Level Kit will be released in time...

Curses, and I would've got away with it too if it weren't for you meddling kids and your fancy pants.
But really, can survivals enter?

If your Survival Challenge still falls into the realm of Sackboy saving the day during the challenge, then yes you can enter a Survival Challenge.
Just make sure that Sackboy is actively saving the day though and isn't just ensuring his own survival.

Gotcha, got the perfect thing in mind. Not really survival, more of timed minigame.

Meh, I wasn't really devoted to finishing it. Besides, I already have enough unfinished levels as it is

Would a horror level where you enter a hidden underground asylum/experiment chamber where there are 4 ghosts, big arms, bladehand, headless joe, and needle head, all trying to kill you in however they can, while you walk around hopelessly trying to find your little brother, who was dared to enter the sewers, but he pickeds the wrong one, the one he picked was the entrance to the hidden underground asylum/experiment chamber. Ive said to much. Anyways, would this work?2010-07-03 00:09:00

Just call the hero Boyman and that will work

Seriously, the player gotta play as a superhero, and fight (super)villain. I like this theme a lot (it's been a while since I last made an urban level). I would've entered if I had time
