The Official LBPCentral PSP Manual

Archive: 25 posts


Hey all of You Budding Creators out there!!

This week I had an absolutely BRILLIANT Idea!!!

Why don't we, the LBPCentral Community, write the unofficial manual of LBP PSP that never came with the game?

This manual would contain your very basic things such as corner editing to your really complex forms of logic.
It would contain picture tutorials and video ones, and would all be hosted in a dedicated section of the LBPCentral forums.

The reason I had this idea was because I thought that it would be great for all of those new creators out there to have a guide in which to look up anything, and learn anything they need. Plus if we could promote this Manual all over the interweb and Community Moon, we might start to see a vast improvement in levels, and who knows, we'll all probably have a blast doing this as a Community.

Please reply and give your vote on the poll to let me know how you feel about this. Thanks a heap!!!

I voted "Sounds great, but I'd like to think about it!"

It really does sound great, but I think that's why we have the PSP Tutorial Spotlight.

Yeah they do, but what I'm aiming for is to include things such as "How to Create Your First Level" and stuff like that.

I like it!
It'll be a creator's guide to creating great levels.
Maybe we could put it all together as a .zip so as ppl just download the one file and it contains all the tutorials

I'm sorry unXpectid, I don't get what you mean 'bout mods not liking one word answers. What do you mean??

That's exactly what I was thinking!! Make it an ebook, and with so many ebook readers out there on the market, people'll be able to view it wherever and whenever they want!

We should also include stuff in there like "How to Create Extreme RPG Levels", and "How to Create Awesome Platformers", and stuff like that.

Hey why don't you, ali985, create a tutorial for making awesome fonts!?! That would be a must have in the ebook!!

Anyway I should probably continue working with my level. I've decided not to enter the "Race for a Case Comp", as it might distract me too much from school.

LET'S WRITE!!

I think that this would be a very good idea, and even though there are in-game tutorials, there are a lot of things that they did not cover about each particular thing. So I think something such as this would still contain a good amount of usefulness to newer users. You would of course need to invest a good amount of time and effort into this in order to make it good and well received, so I do hope you're up for it! 2010-07-25 03:23:00

Awesome!!
Yeah I did your tutorial a while back, and I still use techniques out of it.
I'm just looking forward to releasing my new level! As you can probably tell by my last one which I released back in March my building has improved drastically!

Hey we should try and get Taffey to create a tutorial on his space ships!

I could make a character creation tutorial and a how to make things as small as u want. We need a glitch guide section too
in fact we should split it into different sections
-Intro/warnings/heads up/creator tips
-Visuals: Characters, Environment etc
-Mechanics: Vehicles, Contraptions etc
-Gameplay: Tips on increasing epicness
-Logic: beginner to advanced logic gates
-Sound: Music, Effects etc
-Marketing: Where to advertise, Titles etc
-List of resource levels: fonts, starter kit etc
-Glitch Guide
-Credits

I'd be happy to help... I'm at the brink of abandoning lbp at the moment and need something to pull me in again... I'm not the best with computer's and things, but I'm a reasonable graphics designer...We should make a group to make this easier to organise...2010-07-25 11:17:00

@all of you: Thats all fine with me
now we just need to figure out what to write.
@ brimostudios: I am refering to that fact that one word posts on forms are often classed as spam and are remived by site moderators (mods)

Ok this week I'll be sending out PM's to people asking them to create certain tutorials. If you receive a PM asking to create something, and you don't want too, please tell me ASAP so I can ask somebody else to write it.

Thank You!!

Oh BTW I've started to write the intro for this aswell.
