ARR PEE GEE

Just how far are you willing to go to determine your own destiny?

When all existence is threatened, and the very fabric of time is torn- what will you do? Will you play your part? Or will you forge your own path?

Team

ROCKSAURON- Project Manager
ULTIMATECLAY- ... Not sure :/

TANROCKSTAN34: Logician

Application Form

Username:
PSN ID:
Access to PS3 Microphone or Keyboard: Having a keyboard or a mic won’t necessarily increase your chances of being hired, or decrease them if you don’t have either, but they’re extremely nice to have when playing with a large group of people. If you get hired and you do not have one, it is highly recommended that you purchase one or the other.
Requested Position: Pick one of the open positions at the top. If multiple people apply for the same position, the lead of that group will be chosen on skill.
Qualifications: List your accomplishments here, i.e. spotlighted levels here at LBPC, number of plays and hearts and such. Also, post lbp.me links in this section so we can check out your levels.

Game Features

* Custom soundtrack composed by AeroForce22 and friends.
* Unique art style created specifically for this series.
* Exciting tools and items used to solve puzzles of great magnitude.
* An epic story of time and fate.
* Secret weapons and sidequests for those deep explorers.		2010-10-03 18:32:00

A. Be active in the forum, or at least keep up-to-date with the latest going-ons of the project and contribute. If you'll join, I want people who will be active in the group or whatever discussion format we have.
Check. Nearly my entire life goes into this forum.

B. Be a relatively good creator at LBP, and have a lot of time to spend in LBP building.
Check. I haven't proved myself yet on the PS3, but I think anyone in the PSP community can tell you I'm 'relatively good'. I have lots and lots and lots of gameplay ideas I can now implement with the powah of PS3 create.

C. This is not a necessity, but having no qualms with me (RockSauron) and possibly other teammates popping into your moon to watch you create and keep an eye with what's going on would be very, very good. Also, having a USB keyboard for easy chatting.
Check, plan on getting a USB keyboard ASAP - I'll definitely have one in time for LBP2.

D. This is a biggie- Dedicate a lot of time to this. I'll want most of your attention on this as opposed to your own levels. If you join, I don't want the project to be a "side" project, slowing down production. You can still make your own levels, just try to at least give this half your attention.
Check. My life revolves around this game. It's pathetic, but w/e - I'll be a dedicated worker.

E. No showing the levels to anyone not in the "team".
Check. After resisting the urge to blurt out all of Kindred's secrets to the community, I think my willpower is up for this.

Notes: I specialize in platforming, as complicated logic hurts mah head. So if you're looking for someone who can build a flying mechanical bread slicer, I'm not your guy. 		2010-10-03 18:48:00

A. Be active in the forum, or at least keep up-to-date with the latest going-ons of the project and contribute. If you'll join, I want people who will be active in the group or whatever discussion format we have.
Of course, I don't think I've gone a day with out being on here (Not counting those two vacations I had).
B. Be a relatively good creator at LBP, and have a lot of time to spend in LBP building.
I'm decent, I like stickering stuff and making scenery, and I can make some nice environments....And I spend almost all of my time creating.
C. This is not a necessity, but having no qualms with me (RockSauron) and possibly other teammates popping into your moon to watch you create and keep an eye with what's going on would be very, very good. Also, having a USB keyboard for easy chatting.
Mh kay. I can get nervous but I'm still okay with it. I also have a keyboard.
D. This is a biggie- Dedicate a lot of time to this. I'll want most of your attention on this as opposed to your own levels. If you join, I don't want the project to be a "side" project, slowing down production. You can still make your own levels, just try to at least give this half your attention.
Definately, I really have no other projects to do. I do have a team though...they could help with ideas too I guess. If they're interested.
E. No showing the levels to anyone not in the "team".
Alright.		2010-10-03 19:11:00

I'm active enough.

B. Be a relatively good creator at LBP, and have a lot of time to spend in LBP building.

I can devote a decent amount of time, and I'm great at visuals/setpieces/ props, that kinda thing.

C. This is not a necessity, but having no qualms with me (RockSauron) and possibly other teammates popping into your moon to watch you create and keep an eye with what's going on would be very, very good. Also, having a USB keyboard for easy chatting.

OK, and I'll have a key board soon enough.

I can handle that.

How much is it worth?

That's fine, though I do have some other things planned for LBP2, but I won't forget about the project, as it were.

My lips are sealed.

I'm currently looking more for people who would actually build... and so far it seems only frog, keanster and B3 applied for that...

frog didn't seem to have any levels, @keanster96 came up with kenster96 who had a bunch of bomb levels and stuff (that wasn't you was it?) and B3 is currently PSP only so I can't really test any of his levels...

I suppose the best test now would be to test everyone's stick-to-it-ive-ness. Can you people handle a project that may take months and won't quit midway through?		2010-10-03 23:22:00

@keanster96 came up with kenster96 who had a bunch of bomb levels and stuff (that wasn't you was it?)

LOL, no that was not me. I shall have to send that guy a FR one day... You wouldn't believe how many shenanigans he's got me into with his darn name and love of bomb survivals...

I just realized I haven't actually published any unlocked levels (:o) so if you wanna see what I can do you'll have to send me a FR...

Oh and I'm not currently making a 1984 level... But may do so in the near future if you're lucky 		2010-10-03 23:30:00

A. Be active in the forum, or at least keep up-to-date with the latest going-ons of the project and contribute. If you'll join, I want people who will be active in the group or whatever discussion format we have.

I've been quite active on this forum, even if I left for a bit at one point.



B. Be a relatively good creator at LBP, and have a lot of time to spend in LBP building.

(In my opinion) My logic is quite good, not as good as lkets say rtm223, but still i think i can do pretty well to help with that. I may be able to help with other things, but detail isn't really my thing.



C. This is not a necessity, but having no qualms with me (RockSauron) and possibly other teammates popping into your moon to watch you create and keep an eye with what's going on would be very, very good. Also, having a USB keyboard for easy chatting.

I may not have a keyboard, but i really don't mind people popping into my pod every once in a while, as long as they don't distract me.



D. This is a biggie- Dedicate a lot of time to this. I'll want most of your attention on this as opposed to your own levels. If you join, I don't want the project to be a "side" project, slowing down production. You can still make your own levels, just try to at least give this half your attention.

I'm alright with this. I like it when others help me plan so that I can get things done. My own projects can wait because they probably won't get finished any time soon.



E. No showing the levels to anyone not in the "team".

Thats EASY! I never liked showing people my unpublished levels in the first place unless it was for testing.

BEDA or Creator... Hmmmm tough one. Can I be BEDA, and if needed help on logic? If so then thats what i want to be. If not, then I'll just be a BEDA guy, unless in the end there are too many BEDA people, then I will be a creator.		2010-10-03 23:54:00

Hay Rock! I could help create (I was almost on the LBPCTG team). I love RPGs and I know I can give my full attention to this . I don't have any levels out, but I know you've seen my abilities before.2010-10-04 00:27:00

I would like to be a creator.


Anywho, if you want to apply, you should:

A. Be active in the forum, or at least keep up-to-date with the latest going-ons of the project and contribute. If you'll join, I want people who will be active in the group or whatever discussion format we have.

I'm active as you may know.

B. Be a relatively good creator at LBP, and have a lot of time to spend in LBP building.

I have all the time in the world to create... My levels can be checked out if you like, but they aren't very recent (about a year old). If you want, I can show you some of my more recent projects on my moon ^^

C. This is not a necessity, but having no qualms with me (RockSauron) and possibly other teammates popping into your moon to watch you create and keep an eye with what's going on would be very, very good. Also, having a USB keyboard for easy chatting.

This doesn't bother me at all, as long as there's no messin' wit' me workin'. I also has keyboardz.

D. This is a biggie- Dedicate a lot of time to this. I'll want most of your attention on this as opposed to your own levels. If you join, I don't want the project to be a "side" project, slowing down production. You can still make your own levels, just try to at least give this half your attention.

Once again, I has time. I'd like to make my own levels, too, but I'd obviously put any team effort ahead of independent work.

E. No showing the levels to anyone not in the "team".

Of course!

Really? It's my latest level, not published yet, as I have to decide whether to include a boss fight or not and how the story ends in both 'campaigns.'

(Yes, there are two stories, one is 2 player)

But yeah, enough advertising of my upcoming level.		2010-10-04 03:51:00

Hmm. I don't think I particularly fit the "Good creator" aspect, but I am RPG/Fantasy obsessed.
Anyway, I would love to be able to help with this in some shape or form, though it'd probably only be as a BEDA. Writing is a passion of mine, perhaps I could help with that?
It'd be worth mentioning that I most certainly have no problems with you. On the contrary, I rather like you
Please do get back to me, and either way, good luck with this!		2010-10-04 16:38:00

i'd like to help with creation. i have a pretty awesome level on my moon (thanks for the help lyrradxox). so if you need any proof, message me and i'll upload a pic or you can come see it yourself.

p.s. don't chack out my current levels, they're nowhere near as good as what i can do now.

p.p.s. i'm also pretty decent at logic as well 		2010-10-04 17:31:00

Just sayin', aren't destiny and fate the same thing?


Fate
that which is inevitably predetermined; destiny: Death is our ineluctable fate.
Destiny
the predetermined, usually inevitable or irresistible, course of events.


Not that it matters much, but that was my initial reaction seeing the title

I guess I could make a level for this, but I'd quite like to make my own things, and my level making ability isn't amazing or anything, but I guess I could give it a shot later.		2010-10-04 17:54:00

I would like to be part of BEDA Since I'm not very good at creating I think I'm good at giving ideas and sinc eI hang around the level showcase often giving feedback and running my own blog with feedback on amazing levels, I think I might be good on the BEDA plus I'm pretty active on LBP

I know ou wanted certain answers but I think that was for the creators only so I hope I'm doing it right 		2010-10-04 19:29:00

As for creators... um... yeah. lol. Still trying to figure that out. All applicants to be a CREATOR, please send me a pm with all of that stuff. I don't care too much about Bedas at the moment, so just if you want to create. It'll help me sort it out and stuff. Yeah. ;-; Cause I want an easy list.

Will there be peanuts?

Hmmn, now that I think again, I'd be absolutely terrible for this project.

My internet is bad, meaning online create is impossible.
I don't have a keyboard for the PS3.
I can't dedicate a lot of time.
I can't create well.
I can create logic in my mind, but not on the actual game.

So, no. I can't really help you.		2010-10-04 23:31:00

I don't have a keyboard either, and I'm not the best logic guy with making. But i could think about it (i.e. what if you did this... to this... which triggered that... which made that happen?) I might be able to create some stuff, but I don't know if it'll be what you're looking for.2010-10-05 00:57:00

Eeeeeh scenery and characters, mostly. I'm a visuals kinda guy. I'm fair at logic, but not anything to scream about... I do have a keyboard, people pop in my pod all the time so I'm used to people observing and not doing anything, and vica versa

The way I created on the wp was some guy (Gav) made a basic outline for the level and I went round adding stuff to make it look better, and I polished it until it was so shiny our eyes bled.
The way I created Aa was pretty even - we swapped the level between us, due to the time difference, and added sections as we went along.

So, good all rounder but I really am a visuals guy.		2010-10-05 06:36:00

Ok, so I've temporarily decided on a battle system where you run around traditional LBP style, but when you run into an enemy you go into a birds eye battle arena where you fight Zelda style to defeat all the enemies... but that may change, just thinking.

Also, I want a pm from every single person interested in creating for this. Yes. :O		2010-10-06 22:27:00

I guess I'd fit the criteria for a " Beda ".
I've been posting alot on the Ideas and Projects thread of LBPC lately, throwing ideas here and there.
This thread was probably the only one I ever posted on since I've joined here.
And I like breaking levels, well I don't really ENJOY it much, especially when you've just finished a certain hard part in it and then come to find that your sackboy's throwing a fit of some sort. Or just simply breaking key items needed to finish, forcing you to start aaallll over again from the start.. man that's a pain.
So yeah, this idea of yours sounds pretty complicated in logic terms ( wires covering 1/2 of the screen complex ), but I wish you the best of luck this RPG of yours and I can't wait to break it! ( if i get chosen ofc ) 		2010-10-07 01:44:00

Ooooooooooook, I hate recruitment ;-;

Currently we have me, igotfancypants, Takelow and fishrock123... I hired clay and keanster, then fired them cause I didn't think I'd work well with them... sooooo yeah. /sigh drama

Stupid recruitment period >_<

Anywho, I believe I want people to focus on specific "sectors", i.e. each person will not build an entire level. We could have some people make the level "outline", someone to fill them in, someone to make the battle system, ect. Yeah. Um... /cough

So Anywho. If interested please say what your specialty would be 		2010-10-09 00:02:00

Hey, why don't you split yourselves like Mm do?

Have concept people who produce ideas for gameplay, creators string them together into a level, then arty people decorate, followed by creators who fix the bugs that the arty people made!

Hey Rock, glad you decided to go ahead with this project, you still got your collaboration battery going! Well as far as I'm concerned, I'd be happy to do any odd thing, I'm great at scenery and I've actually gotten really good at making little nick-nacks like custom in-game switches, as opposed to those peky Mm ones... I have to say that I can't really delve into making a full level, but anything else that needs help in contrubtion, whether it be a npc, nice little scenery piece (rtm waterfall), object (catapult, turret, airship) lighting or other naffy stuff, count me in dude, let the awesomeness begin, O and I know that I don't have any good levels out right now, but my current w.i.p(in my sig) is about 95% done, you can see my current creator knowledge after it gets published 2010-10-10 01:18:00

RPG!? ! lol, hey why not

After seeing some RPG concept videos I have a feeling that this is what Im gunna jump on first anyway, might as well be a part of something bigger Im up for anything but story writer or "ideas", Im great with touch-ups, and scenery (Logic skill might vary) my strong point would have to be characters and monsters and such So you can stick me in anywhere I guess. I can tell you now that I will have time to fully dedicate to the making of this RPG and will probably be able to stick with it 100% of the way as long as you can keep me busy I haven't published in a good while so... no references unless you can step on my moon Looking forward to working with you !		2010-10-10 04:22:00

I like that this sounds a bit more controlled on who you plan on letting in for this project. Seems like it's gonna be improved. (Not trying to be mean here) But I was let down with LBPC:TG. For the whole time the project took I had expected it to be better. So a few questions I have: -So far who's on the creator list?
-What exactly are you looking for in a creator?
And finally -Is the bar being raised for who you will except for the quality of levels?
I am interested in this but kind of doubtful of it...
I haven't published much but if you're interested in me friend me and you can see my current work that I have. A show of my work would be "The Distant Crystal" and what I'm working on		2010-10-11 18:31:00

mmmmm... that doesn't work very well. whilst fate and destiny are synonyms, they do have baggage of use and slight differences (as do most synonyms)

fate is usually associated with the end result; the culmination of events that have lead you there, while destiny, which can also be seen as the end, can also be to do with the journey too. for that reason i would call it 'Fate of Destiny'

if i get the time i'll write you an intro. then you can decide whether i know what i'm talking about

here's an intro to a novel i started but never finished:


There are many stories, none have a beginning and none have an end - they are but a current of overlapping events that are viewed in dislocation, like an ocean of moments, forever churning and on occasion washing something up on our shores. We (the disenfranchised) gaze into that ocean in an attempt to make sense of our part in it, and maybe, just maybe, in a moment of pure luck, when the ripples divide and the privilege of clarity is ours, we realise our potential. It is here that we draw our fingers through the waters in the hope that it will cleanse our pasts, and we will see our futures. Therefore, it is here we begin, at the centre of things:		2010-10-11 19:34:00

Questions posted above.

-Takelow, Rocksauron, iGotFancyPants, and myself. So far. At this very moment.

-probably visual and general gameplay construction; being good all around is also fine. If your some logic genius or something that should be fine aswell.

-depends by what you mean, I guess. This is planned to be more collaborative that LBPCTG. Instead of different people working on different levels, everyone should ideally be working to complete each level.

it's not meant to sound better, it's meant to point out that that's the closest to accurate (considering tautology) that you are likely to get. in other words you need to do what all good writers do and rethink the title. it's called murdering your darlings for good reason		2010-10-12 17:40:00

I can help come up with story lines if you like, and I have a great attention to detail when creating levels!

I'd need to be able to work and build with someone (I believe that's the idea with the team anyway) to keep me motivated and to help etc. ..
Oh, and I consider myself a good problem solver in the logic department!

And, as one last useful "feature" I can proofread / spell check captions and magic mouths throughout the game

I unno. I'm rethinking BEDA... seems odd. At least for now. I guess people will have to be able to do something... of some variety... somewhere... :kz:		2010-10-14 01:07:00

Im good at decorating and making costumes. I think I read somewhere where someone suggested we do it like MM, where different people have different jobs.

Someone makes the levels and logics (creator), someone else comes in and decorates it (decorator), and then someone else could look for bugs and fix them (engineer). Then someone could make sure the levels flow and give pros and cons (critic). Decorators could also make costumes 		2010-10-14 01:31:00

Well... Seeing as how I've already pretty much got the story concept done and just need to finalize it level by level, I really don't think I need people to just do story :/ Remember, I'm a story guy myself, so not too sure I need people who just write story. Level planners might be good, but story wise I'm pretty set :kz:		2010-10-14 23:41:00

I'm going to clarify a bit..

It's a Zelda styled RPG; Aka, you should feel like your in its own little world/Free Roam to a more or less extent.

And just to get down to business, does this nothing at all to do with LBPC?
No, this has nothing at all to do with LittleBigPlanetCentral.

Account yet to be decided, probably some special account. And we are making an ARR PEE GEE!

How big are you planning this project to be?
I think Rawk said 20 levels. Maximum 20 levels not including minigames. Amount of levels is dependent on Thermoavalibility.		2010-10-15 19:27:00

Well, we'd like to see if you are a qualified creator first. If there are any levels that you deem to be your best work, go ahead and tell someone on this team (specifically Rock) and they will give them a go. If you feel your levels are outdated, we can probably add you and invite you into create so we can have a whirl and you can show us your skillssssss.

As for Beda... I don't know if Rock really wants many more people for that. IMO, people that are creators for the project should be able to help arrange level layouts, etc rather than actual level arrangers. What would we do with the level arrangers after they are done at the beginning, anyway? They'd pretty much do nothing else but give criticism, I guess. /idk

That wasn't necessarily the whole group's opinion, just mine. Ask Rock for a position as Beda. Har. :hero:		2010-10-15 19:58:00

I'm very active in the forum. I come here every day!
B. Be a relatively good creator at LBP, and have a lot of time to spend in LBP building.
Not to be selfish, but I think I'm a very good creator. I have spent a lot time in LBP create mode.
C. This is not a necessity, but having no qualms with me (RockSauron) and possibly other teammates popping into your moon to watch you create and keep an eye with what's going on would be very, very good. Also, having a USB keyboard for easy chatting.
Well... I can do that, but unfortunately I don't happen to have USB keyboard.
D. This is a biggie- Dedicate a lot of time to this. I'll want most of your attention on this as opposed to your own levels. If you join, I don't want the project to be a "side" project, slowing down production. You can still make your own levels, just try to at least give this half your attention.
Sure. I could give it 100% of my attention, because I have no projects planned for LBP2 yet.
E. No showing the levels to anyone not in the "team".

As I've said, Destiny of Fate is a tentative title... It can change, and probably will, I just made it up in two seconds to have something to post in this thread. I'll change it someday, but for now if you're just going to complain about the name and not say anything else at all, then /le sigh

... Anywho, sorry, about not talking to people about recruitment. And stuff. Ya, I just want some people (preferably with beta) who can do stuff in a 2D plane... I hate recruitment, so sorry I haven't been active there :/. However, me and KLAWW the clown, as well as some others but mostly us, have been trying to work out the kinks of a Zelda style battle system while in the beta... So yeah. If you have the beta and are interested in helping make a Zelda style game (and obviously can stick-to things), send me a PSN friend request and be prepared to throw a few things together. As for non-beta peepz, we'll still consider you since this game will be made in real LBP2, but having beta is always a plus :/		2010-10-23 00:51:00

hi, i' like to apply for a creating position.

b: i have literally no social life so i'm on often
c: i'm mostly in online create, usually making levels with the occasional hoverboard session thrown in for good measure
d: i'm not really working on anything big at the moment, just throwing a few concepts around
e: i don't show people stuff i don't want them to see and no amount of begging and "beta code here:______" messages will change that.

so if there's anything else i need to do, please tell me so i can get it done.

I'm just gonna come out and say this: I'm not a super good creator. I'm not here for a job creating. I actually haven't been reading this thread recently, and that's mainly because you're focusing on creators. if you could just do me a HUGE favor and message me on the website (this one, in case I was unclear) to tell me when you're looking for "idea men" (that's a 'The Tick' reference) for this project.

Me: I can probably manage this, especially during the two long school breaks coming up. Even still, this item may be the hardest for me.
B. Be a relatively good creator at LBP, and have a lot of time to spend in LBP building.
Me: I do have time (except when I don't), and I think I'm a good creator in certain aspects of the game.
C. This is not a necessity, but having no qualms with me (RockSauron) and possibly other teammates popping into your moon to watch you create and keep an eye with what's going on would be very, very good. Also, having a USB keyboard for easy chatting.

Me: I'm not working on any other projects, so this is good.
E. No showing the levels to anyone not in the "team".
Me: Aside from my brother (I can't stop him from watching me build stuff), I will make sure no one sees.
Now, there's the team thing again... If you want to join, then post in this thread. This time around, I don't just want "creators". Basically, I learned from my last go around, and want some beta testers/ idea people. I'll call them Beda. The Beda would do what I did for LBPC: The Game, beta testing and idea throwing. They wouldn't have to spend too much time, and would make odds and ends and stuff as well. I'd be a Beda myself, so yeah. Obviously you'll need to be good at breaking things/ gameplay ideas/ whatever in order to do this.
Me: I think that I'm definatly an idea person. Just reading this thread has given me tons of new ideas for making an RPG! I would LOVE to be a Beda!

Ok, so... I've currently just go me and Takelow on this. Or Takelow said he'd do it no matter what he was, and after his work ethic on LBPC: TG and great levels (especially his last two, which sadly are at the very end of the game) and our great relationship, I can't say no. But yeah, Anyone else here want to jump on board my crazy project? Or rather,

And yes, I'm leaping on this I know. All the more time to be prepared :kz:... As long as people want to work with me again. Well, we'll see. <_< >_> D:

Here are some ideas I had:

Enemies are needed for any RPG. I was thinking of a system like Paper Mario, where you run into an enemy in the over-world which initiates a turn based battle system where there are items, special moves, lots of stuff...
When you hit the enemy, there needs to be a transition screen. I was thinking that hidden, follow-the-player vacuum material could suddenly turn opaque, and the word's "fight" or something could appear. If there is logic space, this screen could get really detailed. There needs to be battle music that can be composed in the sequencer; the bosses (there must be bosses) would have there own music. The battle areas would be versions of the level where the enemies where. (Like paper Mario.)
I already have a system for making very complex enemies- in paper mario every NPC is made of a bunch of flat, independently moving pieces layered on each other, This can be done in LBP2 with the regular layers and "flattening" (front view in play mode, an LBP2 feature.)
There should be a "hub" level (maybe a time machine?) that you go through, like the "chapters" in paper Mario. It should contain the links (an LBP2 feature) to the other levels, some of which will be locked from the beginning. (By there being obstacles in the way.)

Unfortunately, there is no way to save any "level cookies", or anything, so you'd have to beat the whole game in one sitting, and the hub world would be the same every time, so... That takes a lot of the fun out of it...

I am going to draw some possible enemy designs that you may use, or not...
I'm also not in the beta...but I don't think that matters, as everything in the beta will be gone in the retail LBP2, and when the beta servers go down, you won't be able to share anything.

EDIT: I just read this will be a Zelda-type RPG, so I really can't help with much; Sorry.

Still, how will you be able to make that without level saving? Will it just be like you need certain items to go to the next level, and when you get there you just have those items? And how will the battle system work? No turn based battle systems?		2010-11-20 14:31:00

Well I haven't updated the first post in a while... It's really more Zelda then an actual RPG, soooooooo yeah. Basically, right now I want some people to make the level plan... Not so much ideas, can't have too many idea people and not enough people to build :O

As for you nonbeta peepz, the game will be made in the real LBP2, so when we actually get started it won't matter. But yeah, I want people to build the levels and stuff ;-;		2010-11-20 14:36:00

What did you mean earlier when you talked about building stuff in the 2D plain? Do you mean "flat", or 2D like three layers?2010-11-20 14:42:00

Originally this RPG was planned as 2D, then it was changed to top-down 		2010-11-20 14:49:00

Oh hello there. Yeah. /cough

Anywho, just saying that we've been working on this... Aeroforce22 made a really cool cave theme that is awesome, and yeah. We've got a few features down, like gravity, drownable water, ect ect. Yeah.

I also currently have 11 people... but, TBQH, most of them are... extraneous. I may need to cut down ;-; Not that I want a small team, but a lot of people I currently have.... yeah.

Also, still looking for more people. Particular people who are interested in mapping/ making puzzles. That'd be awesome. So yeah. anyone wanna make Zelda style rpg?		2010-12-03 01:58:00

Also, I'm currently reconsidering the whole 2D- Zelda-esque RPG style thing. Currently trying to see if any other gameplay style is better, and honestly just reorganizing this whole thing :/

One thing I definitely need are good level builders... But yeah. Anyway, if anyone wants to throw around any ideas for the gameplay here, then feel free. <_< >_> >_> <_< Yeah. lol /runs		2010-12-15 22:16:00

Sorry I didn't respond yet Been thinking about this project.

Well... I am NOW thinking of making this just a 2D platformer. Aeroforce22 made a level that pretty much makes it so that the Sackbot is part of the character (basically allowing you to do anything with a sackbot, but treating it as your Sackboy- so Game Cameras work, player sensors, point bubbles, ect ect.

I'm thinking of having it so that you have a health bar. when you die in a level you respawn losing a small amount of health. This health would carry over to battles, which I am currently thinking of Turn Based. So pretty much the platforming on the maps and the battles in turn based would share health.

Now, that leaves another thing... TBQH, I'm thinking of just... starting over, teamwise. My apologies to my current team, but I'll want people who have the time and skill to make this the best it can be. So basically, if I do this, I'd just... repick my entire team. Not to say you won't rejoin- you'd just have to prove you should :/ Sorry about basically kicking you out and forcing you to reapply, but... I think it may be the best choice as far as this project goes.

I'll probably wait till after LBP2 comes out to actually start planning the real game. I may start writing up a quick summary of what the series should go like... Though I wonder how long the game should be :/... But yep, anywho. Just saying. /le sigh

So yeah bmoney, if you're still interested, add me up on msn if you got it and/or send me a friend request on PSN so I can check you out. I'd probably not hire you straight away, but still.		2010-12-26 14:37:00

I dunno if you've thought about it yet but you say it's gonna be a series and I'm guessing your gonna have some sort of exp or money system how are you gonna make that transfer over to the next level? Unless your using score of course(that carries over a level link doesn't it). Tell me if you think of something 2010-12-26 15:57:00

The only way I can think of really is the glorious sticker <_>

... But yeah.

So... I've now kicked everyone from my team.

Yeah, I know, mean huh? But essentially, I just want to start over. They will be free to reapply when I decide to go through with this, but I just want to make sure I have the best team possible whenever I decide to do this. I didn't want to pick and choose, so I just hit reset. So yeah guys, sorry, hope you don't hate me for kicking you out, you'll all be free to reapply when LBP2 comes out. Until then... yeah, maybe I'll try and figure out a level plan <_>		2010-12-26 17:22:00

Sorry to double post, but I have updated the first post.

Basically, right now the team consists of me and Aeroforce22. I kept him since, well, he wanted to stay and I needed someone to talk to anyway. ;-;

Anywho, so feel free to apply if you so are willing. We may not hire you until LBP2 comes out but still. The current plan is to make it a 2D platformer with sackbots with a party somehow (up to 4 people in a party). I have written up a document concerning the story, and it seems to be around a 10 leveler. 2 of those will be shorter levels though. And I know that's still long, but I honestly couldn't think of any real way to shorten it ;-; It's an RPG after all.

So anyone wants to apply (or reapply if you were someone I kicked out while I reorganized it <_>) then pm me. Also, having Windows Live and being on it a lot would be a GREAT help. Anywho, apply, the application form is in the first post and we'll see if you're up to snuff.		2010-12-28 17:25:00

xD That pun was totally intended and I loved it. :3

Well yeah, I plan to come up with most the music and such, and I was hired for that purpose. However just because I'm "Lead Composer" doesn't mean I can't do other stuff like logic or scenery. It's just a title. And yeah, I'll have people help me. Like say someone comes up with a neat melody, I can take that melody and add onto it to make a full-fledged song! That's the idea at least.		2010-12-28 22:44:00

Well definitely not one music track for level... Multiple songs for multiple areas, hopefully some battle music, cutscene music, ect. It would be counter productive for the story if we had the same music in the cutscenes as in the field :kz:		2010-12-29 00:31:00

Yeah. What he said. I hope to have a huge soundtrack to be honest. :x Won't be easy, but it'll be worth it. Considering there are 10 levels, that already 10 songs. Then I gotta make some for cutscenes according to the mood, battle music, ect. So I'm hoping for 20+ songs or something. xD Let's just hope my mind can think up that many songs and still have some left over for my own series...es.2010-12-29 00:36:00

sooo sorry if this is already answered but I didn't see anything in the OP about it so here's the questions:

positions: no voice acting? costume designer? monster maker?

gameplay: top-down RPG? side scrolling RPG with top-down overworld? sidescrolling RPG period?

battle system: taking turns FF style battle? action RPG style?

any summoning? and if so will it be cinematic? or just plain and boring monster pops up in an instant and leaves and a number is shown?

well you guys can check out my beta.LBP.me profile to see the voice acting level I made and other levels and my profile to see if you are interested in my help....im sorta freelance so I don't really stick to a project...but if you guys need a voice you can send me a microchip with magic mouths with the lines typed in it and a sticky note detailing the voice you want for them and I could do em for ya		2010-12-29 03:39:00

You'll want to hire a few voice actors. As for cutscene makers, it'll have to be someone who's pretty comfortable with the sequence as well as camerawork and logics.2010-12-29 03:42:00

Yeah, I just didn't want to ask for voice actors until we actually had something made in game

Hm, cutscene maker... well, that would probably be a good idea as well, seeing as how many cutscenes I'm trying to throw in.

And we'll be opening up a new account to publish all this stuff on. Haven't done it yet cause it's too early, and we haven't even decided on a name XD

So yeah. Cutscene guy = needed

voice actors = needed, but I'll wait till we have something before bothering to hire people to do the voice acting.		2010-12-29 13:26:00

and that's it for questions I guess

1. Voice acting question already answered. Costume designer and monster maker are things we can already do with ease
2. Gameplay right now isn't very clear. Originally top-down, but now we are shifting to side scrolling
3. Also not very clear. Originally action RPG style, but we are most likely going to do turn-based battles.
4. Summoning wouldn't fit very well into the story we have, so chances are there will be none. It hasn't been discussed as far as I know.		2010-12-30 18:55:00

Yep. Ok, so, if you're applying for Logician... You are kinda gonna have to wait till LBP2 if you don't have beta. If you DO have beta and want to be a logician, then you can test out some logic for us but we probably won't hire you till after LBP2 :/

Same with cutscene maker... we'll probably need someone to program those ._. As well as the battle system... ;-;

As for Scenery Guys... If you have LBP1 you can show us- making things purty is still basically the same in LBP2. So hit me up and we'll try and sort you out. Hm... Ok, so I just need some application...

And to make sure these applicants are the best and won't abandon this project halfway soon... I HATE THIS PART

I don't see how '-us' and '-is' rhyme.

I think it has good flow when you are saying it, (the 'v' is pronounced as a 'w' in Latin, by the way) and the meaning suits the storyline of the series, "Storm of Time".

Although Chronorift could also work (someone mentioned that earlier), using Greek instead of Latin may suit the angle of the series better and 'Ventus Temporis' is a little long.. =/		2010-12-31 19:49:00

I guess I'd leave the font to you. I have menu's down and done I could make one for you if you like and if you give me a few minutes I can normally solve any logic related problem. I've become a bit of a nerd at it since the beta.2011-01-05 15:44:00

To be honest, I didn't reply because... well, tbqh, there wasn't much to reply to. And yeah, don't worry about font or anything. So I just sent you a psn friend request, get on beta and see it.

And yeah, I think a turn based system would be good now. We'll just need to boost it up in a few places. <3		2011-01-05 20:34:00

I've got font covered. I have a text set made from LBP1, and I could work on some more with the new game. :x It takes a while, but fonts are especially useful with holograms and all this time around.2011-01-05 21:33:00

LOL, I suggested Chronorift after the Chronotech from the Red Alert series. I completely forgot about Chrono Trigger series


Well, I wish you all the best within the series!		2011-01-05 21:39:00

Yay, that worked. <_>

... Yep. Um. Uh. Well, are you not applying because you don't wanna work for me because LBPCTG wasn't good enough? Or just because you FEAR me? Ah well. My RPG won't exist. ... /sob		2011-01-13 23:57:00

Already told you my thoughts on MSN, dunno if you read anything I said though as you started writing an essay about The Wizard of Oz mid-conversation.

So here's my thoughts again, take em or leave em...

I feel you need to adjust your attitude. Your holding your own project in very high regard before anything exists yet. If you want people to meet your high expectations then you need to give a little to them too. If this is true:


Yes, the story IS good. GOOD I SAY!

Then prove it. If this is a real story-focused project then at least write up a synopsis of the game to get people intruiged. Maybe give some analysis of the characters. You don't have to "ruin" anything by doing it, but you need to pitch some sort of idea to make any sort of progress with this.

Like I said the other day...

Author: Hey, I've got a sweet book. You should publish it.
Publisher: Oh really, what's it about?
Author: I'm not going to tell you! Agree to publish it and I might though...
Publisher: ...Get out.

Here's some prime examples of some synopsis from some other RPG's:

Tales of Symphonia (As I know you love Tales):

Two worlds exist, unaware of each other. Mana, or life force, is shared by both worlds and while one world thrives, the other suffers. Lloyd Irving lives on Sylvarant, a dying world where nothing is as it seems - a fact he hasn't yet realized. With a strong set of justice, incredible bravery, and a particular loyalty to his friends, he joins them in a very important quest: a journey to save their world.
Lloyd's close friend, Colette Brunel, is the Chosen One, destined to save the dying world as a descendant of the Mana bloodline. At the age of 16, the weight of the world hangs on her shoulders. Genis Sage, the village intellectual, is a talented magician with a personality to die - or kill - for. Most likely, you'll grow to love him.
Together, they set on this dangerous journey together - to unlock the seals of the world and bring the balance back to their dying town on Sylvarant.
Star Ocean 3:

Set in SD 772, four hundred years since the climactic battle with the Ten Wise Men, humans and aliens now co-exist together in both advanced and less-developed societies, as the Galaxy Federation continues to research the cosmos to gain more influence in Space. The story begins as Star Ocean's protagonist, Fayt Leingod, brings his family and childhood friend, Sophia Esteed, to the Federation-managed resort planet Hyda for a vacation, but the dreamy holiday is abruptly ended when Hyda is attacked by an unknown space military. In the heat of the attack, Fayt is separated from his family and Sophia, and he begins an emotional quest into the unknown to find his loved ones. Along his journey, he gets caught up in the war of an uncharted planet, but in the end, he learns the terrible untold secret about the world and himself.

This shouldn't be too hard for you at all and I'm sure you could cook one up in a single sitting. Though looking back at this thread, it seems you're constantly changing what the project is and I can't even keep up. You're telling me it's an RPG but I look two pages back and you say you "might" be changing the project to a platformer and Clay saying it's a top down RPG another few pages back...

Needless to say, there's some organization problems going on here. I think coming to a real conclusion about what the project is and then editing your first post with a ton more detail will do a lot of good. A story summary, gameplay mechanics, sketchy concept art, level structure, all that good stuff. Even if it's not fantastic stuff, something is better than nothing and I think it will really get some people brainstorming ideas and you will be far more likely to find new recruits this way. I know Killian disagrees and thinks it should be an empty canvas for everyone to work on, but each to their own and this is just my opinion.


I'm still waiting for some more feedback from Clay and Take... which means I should probably ask for some more credentials from applicants... Why should I hire you? It'd be nice if you'd have something to show me if you want in. Throw any concepts/ levels/ whatever you've got at me, whether it be levels you've got in LBP or, well, I unno. What you got?

You're starting to come off as a little demanding. Remember, you're not "hiring" anyone, you're looking for helpers. Before you lay high expectations on everyone else you should probably set and meet those expectations yourself. What is your role in this project? Even if it's just a "planner" or "story writer", I see very little evidence of both. I feel everything I mentioned above should solve that problem.

I'm not trying to take you down a peg, I honestly am just trying to help you not make some of the mistakes I've made with assorted things like this in the past and I want to see this project go somewhere. If the project starts coming together properly then I will happily apply properly to whatever positions are available and help you out wherever I can. ;P		2011-01-14 02:02:00

Sigh... yeah, I know, I know, you're right. Probably. :/ Maybe I should just lock this topic and start a new fresh one after discussing it with my current team. Eh, I think I'll do that. So yep, lock?2011-01-14 02:14:00
