Boss Battle Blitz for the LittleBigBoffin' Sticker

Archive: 64 posts


It's time for LittleBigLand's next PSP competition, and this time we are challenging the community to create the best boss battle on PSP.

http://i544.photobucket.com/albums/hh331/tin-cup-70/pspboffin1.png

Creating an Amazing Boss Battle:

In our time on LBP PSP, we have found that great boss battles are hard to find. In fact, few levels even incorporate them. Since the "Little Big Boffin'" sticker is all about excelling on the technical side of LBP, why not ask all of you great creators to give us some awesome bosses?


What Should I Focus on for My Level?

The biggest focus of your level should be on the boss battle. It is up to you whether or not you want to include other aspects to your level. It can be a level that just starts with a boss battle and then ends, or it can be a a level with platforming and other gameplay and ends with a boss battle. The other elements of the level will not be considered when judging for the competition, so if you are making the level only to win, then our advice would be to make sure to stay focused on the boss battle.


The Prize:

The Little Big Boffin' sticker is the 3rd of the 5 new rare stickers to be given out in competitions by Cambridge/Sony. Each sticker shows that an author has expertise in a certain area of level creation. In the case of the Little Big Boffin' Sticker, the owners have proven themselves to be very good on the technical side of things.

We've been given the privilege to award FIVE "Little Big Boffin'" stickers to the 5 top levels for this competition. So, if you win, you will be one of the few creators to get your sack-hands on one of these!


How to Enter:

To enter, post your entry in the OFFICIAL COMPETITION THREAD AT LITTLEBIGLAND.COM (http://www.littlebigland.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=5188) thread using this format:

I have never entered to a competition for a sticker, but I like the color of that Boffin' Sticker. So If I came up with a good idea, I'll enter.
Thanks for the advice AFP!

I'm saving up all of my creative juices for the end boss fight with The Collector in my level series. Did the rules say that you can include an entire level with it, or do you just have to display the boss? *Scrolls up and, upon sight of image, falls off of a six-foot chair and proceeds to fall through the floor, into the basement, through the center of the earth, through Asia and into space*2010-10-26 01:07:00

King Kong... Maybe?

Lies! That wouldn't be quite as original as my idea. Especially since that was basically done in the story mode. I'm getting somewhere with mine though, so I actually might make the deadline this time around.

I was about to build a boss fight... but I won't enter it here for a couple of reasons...

First off, I already have the sticker. I can build a boss fight if I want to without any deadlines or so
Second thing, if I would finish the boss fight in time I would have to finish the rest of the series for it to make sense, I don't want to publish the boss fight first and the rest of the series waaaay later...
Of course I could do a completely new, irrelevant boss but I don't feel like doing it.
So, good luck to anyone entering
If you have trouble building a good boss, I happened to find a video earlier today... let this inspire you! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQZuidKexBQ)

*Enters thread.*

Wow, I can't believe I missed this! I'm definitely going to enter this one, mainly because I could use blue ribbon sticker.

Wow, that reminds of Touhou! Being a shoot em' up freak, you'll realize that Touhou is probably one of the best (if not hardest) shoot em' ups out there. I was thinking of re-creating Sakuya's boss battle in LBP2, even the music. Eh, who knows. I feel like playing Touhou now.

Don't worry, you'll probably finish in time with a little more effort, and registering for LittleBigLand is as simple as registering here. It takes about 5-10 to register, so don't worry.
