A Horror Level
Archive: 38 posts
| When I say horror, I mean horror. Not some cheap in your face "BOO" type of horror. I'm talking about a real psychological horror that makes you think, and gets you scared especially when nothing's happening, and you have this eerie silence. I already planned the little introduction of my level, which is yet to be named, by the way. If you guys are indeed interested to help me, or if you just want to check it out, I'll be more than happy to explain it and perhaps re-create in in Photoshop for you guys, since it was done on paper >_> And by help, I mean suggestions, and other feedback of the such. I don't mean to sound mean or anything, but I would really like to make this level by myself, using my very own style.  I'm sure some of you guys will find this interesting  | 2008-10-24 12:34:00 Author: Stix489  Posts: 2080 |
| Will this level get griefed, or are you keeping it on your Moon? | 2008-10-24 12:38:00 Author: Unknown User  |
| Well, it all depends on the final product really. I'll probably get someone from my friends list to play-record it, then post it here, and we'll go on from there. If it gets bad reception, then it'll stay on my moon. | 2008-10-24 12:51:00 Author: Stix489 Posts: 2080 |

| Why? It's not like it's gonna be terribly gory >_> Judge it when it's here, just don't make assumptions, especially on other people's behalf  | 2008-10-24 13:16:00 Author: Stix489 Posts: 2080 |
OMG THAT IS SO AWESOMELY EPIC I WILL BUY LBP JUST FOR THIS!!!!!!! :O:O  (p.s. haven't yet read it.) | 2008-10-24 13:38:00 Author: Maltay  Posts: 2073 |
| You fool! You cursed this thread with you **** chanting D: | 2008-10-24 13:38:00 Author: Stix489 Posts: 2080 |
| Why? It's not like it's gonna be terribly gory >_> Judge it when it's here, just don't make assumptions, especially on other people's behalf You emphasised horror, so I am only assuming that it is gory. Gory, in turn, happens to be inappropriate. | 2008-10-24 13:44:00 Author: Unknown User |
| Horror isn't always gory O_o | 2008-10-24 13:45:00 Author: Stix489 Posts: 2080 |
| Horror isn't always gory O_o Hence, assumption. | 2008-10-24 13:50:00 Author: Unknown User |
| Hence..."don't make assumptions" Let us stay on-topic-on-topic, k? | 2008-10-24 13:54:00 Author: Stix489 Posts: 2080 |
| Hence..."don't make assumptions" Let us stay on-topic-on-topic, k? On topic? What are we supposed to talk about? You gave us no description of your plan and pretty much told everyone no suggestions. | 2008-10-24 14:02:00 Author: Unknown User |
| I didn't say no suggestions....Maybe you should go back and re-read the first post >_> "And by help, I mean suggestions, and other feedback of the such." I was saying that I want to CREATE (literally) the level on my own <_< | 2008-10-24 14:06:00 Author: Stix489 Posts: 2080 |
| clank stop being picky or no one will join your clan lol anyway doesn't matter if it's not for everyone as he can lock it and only give the key to people he knows won't grieff it. Correct me if i'm wrong but i think stix is going for the suspence type of horror where your own mind creates it's own worries from what isn't there. I think this would be a great level if you can pull it off. Sounds and sometimes the bits that have the lack of sound will be the key. | 2008-10-24 14:27:00 Author: dorien  Posts: 2767 |
| I'd like to see you try, really I would, but I don't think LBP has it in it to be truly scary. | 2008-10-24 14:29:00 Author: FlowersInHisHair  Posts: 126 |
| I'd like to see you try, really I would, but I don't think LBP has it in it to be truly scary. my thoughts too. I reckon no matter how hard you try to make it scary, lbp will mkae it funny/silly/cute/etc. no offence to you of course | 2008-10-24 16:13:00 Author: muttjones  Posts: 843 |
| Darkness and creepy music are a must, but I dont think LBP will ever make me scared... Unless you put pictures of naked fat people in your level. Then I will be screaming. | 2008-10-24 18:56:00 Author: Maltay Posts: 2073 |
| I remember playing the hollow bastion level in the beta and thinking all the blood and skeletons somehow added to the cuteness. Almost as if it was cute that the cute thing was trying to be scary Then again I tried to make a dead space monster, which was totally not scary Even psychological horror in LBP will probably still be met with some "aww that's cute" remarks, but with the right lighting and sound, I'm sure I could be surprised | 2008-10-24 20:07:00 Author: Mamba  Posts: 6 |
| This is going to be a challenging project, sign me up. It's possible to make something scary and not have to be too gory. I've seen levels with simulated blood before but they usually end up pretty cheesy looking. So it's best to avoid that. Dark, ambient music and sound, random death awaiting you around every corner. As long as it's not to hard and the players get surprised and have to outrun something and just barely make it, it should be fun. | 2008-10-24 20:22:00 Author: docpac  Posts: 601 |
| Oh! *hand up* I can film for you! You saw my work with Clank and his glitches! It will be a great offer.. | 2008-10-24 20:26:00 Author: TheArmedReaper  Posts: 1543 |
| It shouldn't be a 'ge-to-the-end typ of level that would sort of ruin it. There should be a storyline to it. Like that truly amazing detective level made on the beta (can't remember what it's called but it had a truly amazing storyline and a truly amazing level to go with it ) | 2008-10-24 22:05:00 Author: Plasmavore  Posts: 1913 |
| That is the first thing I thought of before starting the design of the level. I wanted something that is TOTALLY unlike any LittleBigPlanet level. Some levels on the beta came quite close to that, not in the horror aspect of course, but they still canceled out the "cuteness" of LittleBigPlanet. I'll post about the actual level design, and what I've done with it so far if you people are really interested. | 2008-10-24 23:27:00 Author: Stix489 Posts: 2080 |
| I'd like to see you try, really I would, but I don't think LBP has it in it to be truly scary. You sir, don't know the meaning of LBP  Sniff sniff! I said sniff sniff! | 2008-10-24 23:38:00 Author: Whalio Cappuccino  Posts: 5250 |
| What do you mean? | 2008-10-25 13:15:00 Author: FlowersInHisHair Posts: 126 |
| hmm i would want to see this. i couldnt imagine a LBP level being actually scary. but i do loved the haunted house themed levels | 2008-10-25 22:04:00 Author: Snrm  Posts: 6419 |
| You gotta make it dark, have it so that he carries a key around thats bright? Also i was thinking that you could have a skeleton, thats got four chains on it. One on each wrist and one on each leg. Then when you come near the chains pull and he screams, and the limbs pop off. Also, if you use the sound "angelic chorus" and set it really low, its actually really omnisint. Add that and the shrill violen sound and that will help. Use erie wind and creaking noises as well. Also one other thing, scare the bejizes out of people by having some freaking things pop up. It really only works when its really dark and you cant see much. Also try making those zombies from zelda, or have something quietly stalk you, so that you think theres something coming for you, but your not sure.... | 2008-10-25 23:39:00 Author: Unknown User |
| These are all great suggestions, and believe it or not, I have thought of them also! My level starts off pitch black dark, with only a spotlight pointing on you, and another spotlight pointing on a large stand that has a button on it, and on top of that button there is a sign stating "DO NOT PUSH" (I might change it to something less cheesy later on). And since it's the only thing you CAN do, you eventually jump on the button, and by doing that, a large dark figure "slithers" past you in the darkness below, and all you hear is a low deep growl. Right after that the spotlight turns off, leaving the area completely pitch black for about 3 to 4 seconds. After 4 seconds, another spotlight turns on in another small area (platform) and all the player sees is a realistic ragdolly figure (I have a pretty good idea as to how to build him) reaching out his bloodied hand, calling for help. As soon as the player jumps to the other platform to investigate, the figure gets jerked back into the darkness, and the player hears a loud scream, and that same deep growl. That's it for now, but that's only PART of the introduction. More to come when I have LBP in my hands, which should hopefully be tomorrow =D | 2008-10-25 23:49:00 Author: Stix489 Posts: 2080 |
| Sounds like the plan (not my taking over the world one) is coming along nicely my dear sir | 2008-10-25 23:54:00 Author: dorien Posts: 2767 |
| Thanks Dorien! =D It'll be much more creepy when it's out though, hopefully | 2008-10-26 00:11:00 Author: Stix489 Posts: 2080 |
| you should make a horror story to it like ghosts or something, and can you get like a evil laugh, not the funny type of one, the scary in the dark type one, and get some screams. Try and fake some bllod and test that out. As some one said pop ups, like enemys, try and make it so they pop up at last second, make some part of the level complete darkness so you can hardly see, and experiment with the enemys, nothing worst then trying a corner and seeing a zombie in your face, like resi 4 | 2008-11-02 16:20:00 Author: panzer3000 Posts: 362 |
| Well im working on this thing called the mist, but I don't think it the kind of horror your thinking of, itsthe scariest i can make it, but not that scary | 2008-11-10 03:07:00 Author: BloodFlameX  Posts: 349 |
| This real horror level seems cool. I really want to see a REAL scream. I can't wait to see the creative things you come up with | 2008-11-11 22:56:00 Author: Night Angel  Posts: 1214 |

| The silent hill level gave me a jump or two. To make it scary you have give the feeling that your in control | 2008-11-12 00:08:00 Author: Pinkcars  Posts: 380 |

| My first level contains a few spooks in it, hence the name Spookz. If you wish to duplicate any of my ideas in the stage feel free. | 2008-11-13 02:58:00 Author: LocoCrazy yyz  Posts: 35 |
