This will likely be the first thing I do once I get the actual game, besides finishing the story mode. The BETA should be enough to get most of the exitement out of my system beforehand. It's a joint project with LIL3R_090, and we started it way back in June, then found out about LBP2 and decided to postpone it. It will feature tons of LBP2 gifts - custom music, Level links so you can chose Human or Na'vi storylines, direct control/sackbots to be an Avatar, more Direct control to ride animals and drive vehicles, movers, anti-gravity, Hologram, cutscenes, masses of new decorations/matierials using the UV tool to create a thick jungle, more sackbots as enemies, Homing/sack-seeking missiles, and likely some top-down view stuff included too. It won't be based on the storyline from the film or game, but will feature elements from both and from Pandorapedia and the Pandora survival guide too. It will be a platformer/shooter mostly, but there may be race elements ect. as well.
Overall, It's very ambitious, and may end up eating a quarter of my level sapce, but I haven't published much since The Crate Escape in january, and I was worried people would think I've stopped creating (lol), so I figure I'd let everyone know what my next project is. I may also use RTM's method to transfer data between the sub-levels and have decisions in one affect what happens in the next, I'm not yet sure.
LIL3R will mostly be working on the visuals, because he generally explodes if he tries to figure out what I'm doing logic wise. I think my current RTS test nearly killed him! ;0
Anyway, I anyone has Idea's I'd love to hear them.

Maybe you could make a sample of it in the beta, and show us all a video. Because this seems really cool. controlling a sackbot will be just like controlling a Na'Vi, and I can't wait to see how all the creatures turn out (and the floating mountains ;-).2010-09-30 03:37:00

I might do. Is the NDA lifted now? I have seen a couple of videos so I'm guessing it would be ok, but it's better to be safe than sorry. I have been meaning to experiment with cameras as well, and I'm not too busy now I've finished by BCC02 entry. If I do, it will only be short - maybe 5 minutes at the longest - and I'd have to get someone else to record it for me, seeing as I don't have the proper equipment. I'll definately look at making a few teaser screenshots though. Floating mountains will be super fun. I can't be sure I'll be able to do them justice with a limited palette though. Anywho, I'll have to ask LIL3R, since he doesn't have the BETA and so wouldn't be able to contribute (unless we offline create, but that might not be feasible this week).
Still, it's a good idea. I'll make sure to post if I manage to get a video.

Cool, I can't wait. Also, when the game comes out, if you need testers, I'd be happy.2010-10-04 22:14:00

Sure. It'll take a while, but I'll definately keep you in mind when I get that far. Haven't started the video yet because I got distracted and made a steampunk monowheel instead, but LIL3R is ok with it so it's definately something I want to do. I'm currently building up an 'Inspiration' folder, and by the time I finish that it will probably be saturday, but I'll then be free to work on it.

Lol, I hope not. Anywho, I'm thinking of attempting a Taruk, so that will be an interesting challenge. If it's succesful, I'll make a video to go with it, publish it, and get someone to record so I can put it up here.
It's going to be a challenge, but I have a rough idea of how I can do it justice, inspired by a random BCC01 entry, so If that works It'll look good at least.
Anyway, wish me luck! It won't be easy even with LBP2's innovation.
