Play Create Share - top down shooter style?

Archive: 11 posts


Hello people of littlebigplanet central, in this project I plan to make a few top-down shooter levels, with a create a playing feild and a option to share your shooter pods with players around the world. I hope to make this a fun 2-4 player set of levels.
also, with each level you can create your own shooter pod with decorations and stickers, a defanate laugh in multi-player
I have a cool idea for a promotion poster so I'll make one of those aswell...

okay. now onto the current project and stuff...
I currently have these people helping me with it (or have helped me in the past)

- YEAH_NAH (LBPC:YEAH_NAH)
- JYADS (LBPC:AA_Battery)
- Sackcreator54(LBPC: I know he has one... can't remember it though)
- F3erral (LBPC: F3erral)
and a few others...
The Levels:

1. Main hub, includes: waiting area, keys to all other levels (unlocks?)
2. Park top-down (1st level, basicly completed, needs beta testing. just ask for key)
3. Construction site top-down(60% done)
4. Top-down 3(ideas?)
5. Top-down 4
6. Top-down 5
7. Top-down 6
8. Top-down 7
9. Top-down 8
10. Arena creator

with each different one comes a few new game play elements, the Park has 2 power-ups: Shield and fire rate, the Construction site has extendable barriers, explosive barrels that explode when shot and buttons that do stuff when you hover over them
in up and coming levels I hope to have different kind of weapons, some extra armor that you can get by stickers in my levels and more power ups, such as health, armor up and what ever else I can think of + any one else's ideas that are cool and sound good.

I hope this is a great cool level series and people have fun playing it.
I am looking for ideas for the next top-down shooter mini-game, any ideas
I have 1 level complete - that is the park one (in beta, ask for key)

My ideas, random rambling relating to this topic:
power up ideas:
Shield
Shooting-rate
Heath
weapon disarming

more ideas
full blown character creation, use it to make the best pod
ideas on this:
basically this system will have a certain amount of overall money like thing (eg: lots on health, little fire power)
the classes for the system will be:

1. Health
2. Weapons

you can only spend so much and then you can't spend any more, there might be beginners, who'll want more health and amour than fire power, or more experts who know how to use the whole terrain to there advantage, fire power and a lil health

weapon extensions:
normal: rifle (low fire power, med speed, long range)
upgrades:
shotgun (spread shot, high damage, low range, low speed)
flamethrower (fast speed, low range, med damage, spread shot)
bazooka (extremely low speed, super high damage, long range)

Hp extensions
Low Health (20 paint shots)
Med Health (30 paint shots)
Large Health (40 paint shots)

well thats about all, no idea if this will work/how much thermo it will take up
I might not use this system, no idea how to get it to work, instead focus on much better levels instead.

This idea deserves a new post.
okay, after searching "top down shooter" on google images I had an idea

I thought of having a massive level of a super large free roam rpg style top-down for players to play, maybe only one player, maybe 1-4 this will have heaps of areas, mines, enemy's, vehicles you can drive, weapon upgrades, massive map, sniper mode?and more (maybe destroy the current project and work on this one?

this will require allot of work and will be very thermo constricting, so I may have to put it into a few levels, prolog, part 1, part 2, part 3, epilogue, that and a massive story, allot of characters and all in top down on jetpacks!.. I can smell difficulty, that and a rather large logic board...

okay, I gota go... sleeping time, I'll edit this tomorow afternoon... if I need it?

okay guys, I'm almost done with the industrial (and if your thinking... that was quick!, very low quality. think again, its a really fun game to play and it the best multi-player challenge I've made yet) all it needs now is and upgraded crane and power ups along with a few details, so its at about 60% complete.
any ideas for the next level are wanted!
also a beta is up on the park version and I need people to give it a test before I publish it, level key will be given for free.

im an AVID Smhup player and would love to see more top down/ shmup shooters on lbp...excited to see what you come up with...feel free to MSG me for ideas or anything...but heres a few for now. maybe as a trade off for firing rate you could do a spread shot 2-4 way maybe and maybe steal some ideas from shmumps such as the soldner X series and introduce powerdowns for a bit more challenge...give it a bomberman feel by lowering rate of fire or not being able to shoot or speed down and maybe even an instant death.

hmm, I was thinking number 3 could be like, you know a indoor paint ball arena (this one will be good! it'll have all new weaponry to chose from!)
if you haven't allready, check out the level: park top-down shooter beta! it'll give you a idea of what the levels will be like.

I remember trying it out with you a while ago and it was fun but messed up a good bit. I'll try it soon and tell you what I think and if there are any bugs.

Edit: I have a second controller but it's messed up right now so unless I get a friend to play it with me then it'd be just me flying around. I'll try getting another to play but it's pretty hard most of the time.

That sounds fun
But would you do the ocean one for like #4 or something?
