Codename Change UPDATE

Archive: 43 posts


Created by Dragonvarsity and myself.

This project is a series about a young girl and her companions,
the trials and dangers she will face and the sacrifices she will have to make.
A story heavy series for LBP2, futurstic setting where robots rule supreme over human kind.
Humans struggle to survive, locked down in combat against their own creations, they have doomed themselves...

The series will play out similar to that of an RPG, each areas will have their own level and each of these levels will be accessed by a hub level similar to that of a final fantasy world map.
Even though it will be played in a similar way to RPG's it will still be a platforming or an adventure type of series, in fact I would say its a platformer with RPG elements rather than vice-versa.

For now I give you concept art.
http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=25879&d=1288143974
I will update this as time passes as we do not want to give away much.

There might be some secret bosses, Dependant on certain people (cameo hint).

Machine's City (not yet named):
This city is solely inhabited by machines, this is also the biggest area of the game (so far) and it also contains the base of operations of the NIHRTOY (Name I Haven't Really Though Of Yet) which is the main group that oppose humans and the main character.
This city also contains a lot of information relating to the main character. If I told you it would take a chunk of out the story.

Campsites:
There are many of these surrounding some cities and towns but only one of them acts as an exclusive interaction area.
When you enter this particular campsite (dont worry it will be revealed as part of the story, and you can go there whenever you want) you gain access to character equipment (its actually a lot different than just equipment), team socializing (if you get more team members) and campsite exclusive cut-scenes.
If possible I want the team members to express their emotions (with little faces above their heads) and then I want their dialog to change to suit that face they are showing.
You can (hopefully) do certain things for your team to change their mood (for better or for worse).

Oh also, I am looking for supporters.
If you have an upcoming series or an in progress project, I want to give my support by offering free advertisement, character cameos and more.
Just send me a PM explaining your series.

In exchange I want you to support Change by advertising posters (stickers) and billboards (whatever fits with the theme of your level), I will personally create the ad.

Credits to dragonvarsity for being such a supportive creator and boukyouinu94 for the concept art, he can be found on deviant art:

'IF' is something Lyrr made a while back to help some with people trying to make their own project. They wouldn't do all the work of course but they would help some like with ideas, people to help voice act, people to help some with backgrounds and logic, that kinda stuff. Here's the link to it.

Also, yeah, it does mean a lot to me aswell, thanks for the offer Lyrr.

Looks cool, look like people want to do lot of RPGs in LBP2. i don't know if hub level is good idea or else 13-bits are enough for you to carry character data.2010-11-08 22:57:00

It will have RPG elements, I dont think tagging it solely as an RPG describes the type of series I am going for.
I am planning to have no story advancement on the actual hub itself, that way every-time the player returns they wont have to go through cut-scenes if I did put in story development into the hub, instead I want the separate areas to develop their own stories.

If it is not possible to bring data over from connected levels I suppose I will have to revert to using stickers or find another means of keeping track of character(s) development.

Well you can carry over (you know transfer data to sub levels) 13-bits (13 on/off states) via score using Upsilandre's method, and for saving you would need to use or some code system or stickers2010-11-09 03:59:00

Is there another way to end the level without actually using the scoreboard (exception: patch checkpoints).
Also can points be taken away from the players score to activate something?

Yep, simply use and "End Level" switch lol You can also take points away but I dont know the exact method. I am sure that the "Points Switch" will be you overall solution on that though.

Yeah, I think I saw that in your level, basically he level fades to black and you return to your pod like in the itnro to LBP, is that right?

More info:
There will be several location the player can access, I will give you a short description of each and the purpose they will have throughout the series.

Machine's City (not yet named):
This city is solely inhabited by machines, this is also the biggest area of the game (so far) and it also contains the base of operations of the NIHRTOY (Name I Haven't Really Though Of Yet) which is the main group that oppose humans and the main character.
This city also contains a lot of information relating to the main character. If I told you it would take a chunk of out the story.

Campsites:
There are many of these surrounding some cities and towns but only one of them acts as an exclusive interaction area.
When you enter this particular campsite (dont worry it will be revealed as part of the story, and you can go there whenever you want) you gain access to character equipment (its actually a lot different than just equipment), team socializing (if you get more team members) and campsite exclusive cut-scenes.

If possible I want the team members to express their emotions (with little faces above their heads) and then I want their dialog to change to suit that face they are showing.
You can (hopefully) do certain things for your team to change their mood (for better or for worse).

Codename Change is still just a 'fetus' (or embryo) so anything could CHANGE.

Hey everyone, I updated the visuals of the prebuild.
Its a bit darker and less colorful to make way for a more serious tone of story, however... certain areas of the game will 'compensate' for the lack of colour and light.
Currently the plan is to have different areas of the game a different shade of a colour, like so:
Darker shades can be recognized as bad/evil/dark while lighter shades can be recognized as the opposite.

It should be much easier for the player to differentiate between what is bad and what is good, what to avoid and where you must go.

Thats the plan anyway, but again: Anything can CHANGE ^.^

Oh also, I am looking for sponsors.
If you have an upcoming series, I want to give my support by offering free advertisement, character cameos and more.
Just send me a PM and a paragraph explaining your series.

In exchange I want you to support Change by advertising posters (stickers) and billboards (whatever fits with the theme of your level), I will personally create the ad.

So have you entered CC12?

Sure would buddy!
And no, the age restriction on CC12 made me unable to compete
So bummed! Really wanted to go to Dublin
What type of voice acting you need pal?

I cant enter because of the age restriction either, it would be such a pleasure to meet MM.

Well I dont know, it depends on what filters their are in LBP2 because I do need a lot of robotic type voices and also some mature male and female ones.
The main character is a a young girl so she will probably end up being silent unless I can find someone who can do a young girls voice fairly well.
I could also use the PS3 voice changer with any female, but it depends on how convincing it sounds I suppose.

Do you have a you-tube account or something?

first of all, how young is she?

i could do a robot's voice i guess, but if i do, can i have my own character to voice?

She is like 8 years old.
What do you mean your own character btw?
Currently I have plans for 6 robots to talk, this includes the main heroes companion. There will obviously be more talking robots of course.

My sister is 8!
I mean like, is there a set name for the robot I'll be voicing?
If there isn't, can I name him?

Also, can you invite me to the Change group?

Oh that is awesome, what stroke of luck!
But yea most if not all the character that speak will have names or at least, thats the plan. (there will be human characters as well)
Also we aren't accepting member for the group at this time, we might definitely invite people to the group after LBP2 releases in January. If you could do a small video showcasing your voice and if possible your sisters on YouTube or any video hosting site that would be awesome currently there is no script so If you need lines or something I could mock up some stuff.

Just a tip:

Don't say that you're a ''meh creator'', it will make people loose much interest.

Yup, I would hope so but that is up to Lyr.

Of course you're still in Dark You too Cybr. I have simply just been acting as a lone wolf as of late Sorry if thats annoying but its just the way I am I guess. I like to do almost all of the creating on my own to get things exactly the way I want it ^^ Don't worry though, after January 18th, we will all be getting down to business with all of our projects, voice acting, device creating, the works

Hey guys sorry for not updating this, I was quite busy with other things.
But anyway after scribbling some designs and drawing circles and apples I was able to get a basic map shape so I can get the idea of where I want certain locations.

Map 1, Main.
This current map consists of 8 Primary Locations and 3 (maybe 2) secondary locations.
The rough map has these locations:
3 Stations (might be explained in the near future)
2 Towns
1 City
3 (maybe 4) Camps
1 Tower

Map ???, secret.
This map contains 3 accessible and 1 non accessible locations. I dont want to reveal any of this maps content.

Keep in mind that anything in this project could change.
