Help A BlueBulletBill Out *Closed*

Archive: 50 posts


After finishing my 12 Days Of Christmas level, I set to work on implementing an idea that had sparked along the way. I had an idea for a level that would test me, something very different from the Jonzian platformers I had made thus far. As to what the level is... well, I can't tell you everything, but it takes place in a beautiful black and white world, with great scenery...

...and that's where I ran into trouble. It seems I am incapable of creating anything that looks remotely like a tree. My level will look too empty without any little details, and so I turn to you!


Create a Black and White Scenery Pack!

In a copyable blank level, create your thin layer package of black and white scenery. Just because I mentioned trees doesn't mean that's all you should do - go wild! If you want a theme to work with, I'm going for an "elegant mechanics" feel. Don't worry about static or dynamic, if it's published in a copyable level, I'll be able to choose. Just don't take too long, the deadline is January 15th! Now, on to the fun part...


Prizes!!1!

Grand Prize: You'll get your scenery package used in an upcoming level by BlueBulletBill - credits given in the description! You'll also get a special in-level nod to the level of your choosing! As if that's not enough motivation, you'll get the opportunity to beta test this level too. And if you're not satisfied yet, there's 1000 EXP in it for you too!

Second Place: You'll get the chance to beta test my upcoming level and 750 EXP!

Third Place: You get to beta test my new level, and you'll be given 500 EXP!

What are you waiting for? Get out there and start creating! Oh, but be sure to read the disclaimer first.

BlueBulletBill, in the case of little entry, reserves the right to prevent an 'automatic win' scenario, as such: Contestant A sees a contest with little entry, and decides to enter with a below standard level, assuming he would automatically win. By participating in this contest, you also agree to accept the results without belly-aching. Failure to be a good sport will result in being pelted with soggy mangos, because we're all out of soggy apricots and Taffey can't be bothered to order more, as he's too busy playing GT5. Have fun!

I'll enter. However are you sure we should make it copy-able? Then anyone could get it. D: Ummm, magic crator?2010-12-29 17:51:00

Awesome! Great idea for a contest B3. If I finish work on my time machine and are able to work concurrently on the same time-strand with my own time-clones I will most definitely enter. If not, I'll see if I can at least take some pictures of the entries for you.

Oh, and LOL @ the disclaimer.

@ Questor - I've been unsilenced for about two days now. Somebody's slow. :-P
@ Jimmy - Yeah, I was silenced for a while. You can use a thick layer (though I might not include it in the level), but I'd prefer you stick to black and white. A deadline is now in the OP.
@ Dizzy - Yes, copyable please. Though if you wanna magic crater, it's fine by me.

EDIT: Wow, seems we're experiencing the effect of being rearranged already. Wert, this is a PSP thread.

Should we include any specific words in the title such as: B3 Props so that you can find all the level in one search?2010-12-30 02:23:00

So I remembered this contest and gave it a crack. So I have spent most of my morning building the intro scene. Honestly, I think I'll win unless someone very good at creating can balance it out a bit. Anyway, do you want to know how crazy it looks like with words only? Let's just say it's so good that I think I might reconsider not entering this contest. Ouch, that must hurt to hear. Though!! I did say might, who knows, maybe I'll let this AWESOME intro go... Who knows... Anyway, more words to describe the level. If you thought the Black and White area in Journey Overworld was Amazing, then you better find a word that can top that off because this intro I made beats Journey Overworld's Black & White planet... By A Lot!!! 0_0

Anyway, I wish I could show you it, but I need to add 1 more section before publishing... That is if I do publish... X)

Wai, intro, what? Spark, it's not to make a whole level!

Just put together some black and white scenery parts - that's all.

Well just keep in mind, I need these objects copyable - a prize bubble won't suffice, I need full editing ability.2010-12-31 02:51:00

So Spark, is your entry an actual level? Cause by saying "Intro" it sure sounds like it. And ya know, if you don't publish it as copyable, at least just publish so people can take a look for a while. From all that talk, I'm really looking forward to something amazing now. 2010-12-31 05:07:00

I don't know if I should make this an entry still. Maybe I should just build it and finish it.2010-12-31 06:05:00

Well, make up your mind - it's a little tedious reading you go between "It's too good for B3" and "No it's just right for B3". 2010-12-31 17:04:00

No worries, I became bored of creating this, so you can keep it. The intro is the design how I think it should be similar represented. The next section is all of the copyable items. Anyway, I'll publish it under the name...

I hope it amuses you because gosh, I drool off my own work. XD

Hey B3, do you just want natural scenery, or things like bridges and houses too? Yes, you haven't scared me away Spark. 2010-12-31 20:10:00

Natural/mechanical scenery - I had the idea for a few spinning cogs in there. But no big stuff, houses and bridges are too big for this.2010-12-31 21:46:00

Another quick question: Do you want 'snow blocks' white or normal 'basic polystyrene' white? Or are you not bothered? I may be the only one who these things matter to. 2011-01-02 11:52:00

Oh mah gawd, I can't believe I forgot materials. I've been using Fiber Paper and basic Polysyrine for white; the black paper material and stickered Fiber Paper for black. Hope that helps!2011-01-02 15:00:00

Magic Crator is a method of transferring levels by copying parts of LBP's save data and giving the files to another person. It's named as such because you use one specific level crator for the process.2011-01-09 04:23:00

B3, I cannot enter because I've decided to make the whole level by myself because it's turning out pretty epic.

Poor B3. Hmm, maybe you should consider yourself 'inspirational'.
Heh, I'll just go work on my level based on abstract shapes and colours now. (I feel rebellious. But seriously, thats what I was actually doing. )
