Chains of Time- Moving on to Greater Skies

Archive: 215 posts


Chains of Time

Synopsis

The threads of time hold strong... As unbreakable as chains...

Some say that these threads are, indeed, chains, and that our destinies have been prewritten...

Not even we, the Eons, can ever hope to comprehend just how strong these chains hold...

Since the dawn of existence, we have been slaves to fate. And now, a great threat looms over the horizon... one that can destroy the fabric of reality.

And when that day comes... shall humanity yield to time?

Or shall the chains of time be broken at last?

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 Positionecide on a job that you think would be beneficial to an RPG, and try to sell yourself on that job. However, try to choose a broad topic that would require a reasonable amount of work- for example, not just a costume designer, but a visual artist.
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

Battle System
Four Party Members Battle system with 25 levels. Have speed stat which determines when you obtain a turn. Major strategy will be trying to obtain as many turns as you can for your team and as few as possible for your opponent. More things to be announced.
Story
Amazingly epic story that pretty much everyone who has seen it says is epic.
Other
Zelda-esque puzzle system.

So you changed the name of your RPG Ventus Temporis, or is this another idea?

If this it is, then I still wanna join! (If I have to reapply tell me)

Yeah, I changed the name. Still the same exact thing, I just liked this new name better. /cough

And I know you're already working on LBPJ, and I'm not too sure about how much time you'd be able to expand on two projects or whatever, so I guess we'll see. I just wanna make sure that everyone on the team is dedicated to this, and, uh, yeah. Two ten level projects would be quite difficult I dare say. Just saying :/

Turn-based RPG slapped into a platformer all centered around time travel? Sounds good to me, I'm sold. ;P

I need to wait it out a bit longer before applying as I don't want to get involved with more than 2 projects and I don't know if I'm in the LBPJourney one yet.

Sorry, I'm thinking we're going more FFXish... where your Speed stat determines what turn it is for you.

I'm not too sure we really need someone just for costumes, sorry. As I said in the application form, I'd prefer having people with more... general skills. Costuming just isn't that important to us at the moment, and isn't that hard to do anyway, sorry :/

Sounds like there's going to be a ton of logic involved. I hope your logic guy is up to the challenge. ;P

Does that mean you don't need an enemy designer/creator? That's what I was going to apply for. XP

We'll probably need logic GUYS

Hm, well, by enemy designer/ creator, do you mean just making the enemies for battle mode? Or would you be talking about their attacks and stuff as well? Describe what you want to be more so :kz:

I could do enemy attacks too, yeah. Would need a superior logicsmith though to get them working within the game but I'm fairly confident I could do enemy designs, building and "animating". I'm also comfortable with you just saying "OK, well in this section we're going to need a dinosaur enemy that attacks by puking out lightning..." and then me just following your designs. If you're after super-intricate designs and custom stickers and such then I'm probably not your guy, but you have played my level and I'm confident I can make enemies that are as good as and hopefully better than that at least.

Well I'm not the logic guy and I came up with that speed stat idea, and honestly, thinking through the logic in my head (as I felt no point in building it in the beta as you can't publish anymore) it doesn't seem that difficult. :3 And I personally think an enemy designer would be a wonderful addition to the team if you're willing to join for that. I know for one that I'm completely awful at designing enemies. :x I'll have to play your levels though because I want to see your stuff in action! And if you need custom stickers (because those would probably make enemies look more unique), we could probably collaborate on that kind of stuff so that it's not all up to you. :3

So yeah...
@FluffySpazz: Is your avatar an example of your artwork? If so, I'd love to see some more.

How about this -
If my skills are good enough, give me a temporary job. IF I can work on both projects then count me in, if not then pretend I was never there

Access to PS3 Microphone or Keyboard: Yup, bluetooth headset for PS3

Requested Position:
Enemy Designer. As previously mentioned, I can design, build and animate the enemies you encounter throughout the game, including all their attacks. I have a simplistic style, but should be able to get the job done.

Qualifications:
Welp, only thing I have is The Antlands. The ant-people in that are very simple examples but the beetle-boss at the end is probably a good example of some enemy design, even if it is far more random and unpredictable than what an RPG would be. One thing I can say is that I'm very good at stealing getting inspiration from other games and making it my own.

Requested Position: Standing in the level as "brb", JK. Level Artist, Character Development (Making a character's personality, normal behavior, and reactions to events)
Qualifications: Totally Positive results from my latest work, checking out my older stuff would be disastrous, and its not very well thought out. This video is from Space Adventure level:

Also, I hired DaSackBoy as a visual type guy. At first I was like hm, but then Aero was like HIRE and I was like D: so I hired him so Aero wouldn't rip my peanut from my chest

Ok... so, once again, my own inadequacies have failed me. I pretty much annihilated the few people who were still willing to work with me via my being a ****. But for some reason Aero and Clay have stuck by me. Kinda. ;-;

Well, no matter. So what if my RPG is a flaming disaster at the moment. I still have LBPC: The... no wait, that was a disaster too. Sigh...

Ok, fine. So, I'm finally going to try and start drawing level plans on the computer like I used to do on paper... Albeit it probably wouldn't matter much if I can't get some other people willing to try and work with me... a ***** of a task, I'm sure. Frankly, I probably shouldn't be trying this anyway... not like I'd be good for anything. I just got a story and no way of helping otherwise. Sigh...

Anyway, if there is anyone out there who still has some hope this project may take flight and hasn't lost all hope that it'd just be another of my sick pet dreams... Well, hopefully I may have something for you... probably not though... ;-;

Ah you. Heheheheheheh. Sorry, I completely forgot about you XD. Well, when we played your Cave levels we liked your cave aesthetic... You're a pretty decent visual artist, and we do need some of those. If you're interested, well, I'll be sure to actually consider you. sorry, completely forgot XD Hate the application process you see.

Anyway, DaSackBoy, your logo was too thermo intensive/ complex. Me and Clay deleted all of those star like things in order to save thermo and complexity, but if you wanna fix the logo and make it easier on thermo that'd be great. But yeah we should focus on level 1...

Also, I was talking to robit10 at Clay's request for him to be a logician... we'll see how that goes.

Well not sure I'd want part timers yet, but if you would want to join full time as... something, then that'd be good. And then later on if we decide to do Voice Acting, then we'll definitely give you a call

Oh yeah, and also... DaSackBoy kinda finished logo, I hired robbit, yadiyaddiyada. Now we'll need to get started on actually making the levels :O. Fun fun fun...

Having creators to do teamwork... stuff... with would be a help

Regardless, progress has kinda been progressing. Dasackboy has been working on a town... and it looks ok.

In one of my frequent changes of heart, I decided to make this turn based again. Go me :kz:

... Yeah.

Ok, so still hoping for some more applicants... At the moment the team consists of me, clay, aero, das, and bmoney... Well, for sure. Takelow is technically in but he hasn't been on so I haven't talked to him, and tomeh is still in absentia till he solves his personal problem. But yeah, we technically don't have too many people to do that much comparatively so if you're interested... then, uh, yeah. lol

Also... wait, was there an also? Ah well. This still exists. so yeah. ;-;

Well it makes it harder to do this stuff. And as long as everyone is dedicated, well... that'd be fine if we manage to get all the basics covered.

... Speaking of which, I assume that getting on right now would be something you can't do? :/

Well, now Clay is out. Which means our current team is four or five active people. Yay!

Ok, I outsourced some battle logic to burnvictim42... he's doing some cool things there that should be able to separate us a bit.

However... we need more people XD

At the moment, we don't need voice actors... We may or may not have them, I'd like to, but it would be crucial to have it be GOOD voice acting. And sides, it's too early to think of such things

What we DO need... hm.

Cutscene Developer- Someone to do some cutscenes. We'll be having a lot of em.
Sackbot Programmer- making field controls, as well as programming NPCs and working on cutscene too
Gameplay Designer- this is a biggie. Dasackboy makes things look REAL pretty, but he admits he can't do much about incorporating gameplay into it. bmoney is willing to try but even if he does work on that, we've got a LOT of work to do So we need someone to make puzzles and gameplay stuff.

If you can fit into multiple categories, great- it's just a rough look at what we're looking for. Or I am. But yeah. People who applied, we'll look at you when we are in create... ALONE :kz:

BTW, if you want to apply... YOU must send ME friend requests. Cause you're trying to sway me... or something, I unno. Plus I don't wanna send friend requests to everyone who applies when they don't. Wheeeeeeeeee. And applications must be in this thread... just an fyi for someone who didn't :kz:

I wanna see what gamerater can do?! Although I must say, to make a sackbot fly isn't that difficult. Are those levels published? I'll queue em up and check them out.2011-02-15 04:48:00

I played Color Gardens 1... it was decent, but a bit too abstract for this project. So, basically, I'd need to see what you could do on a more... "Realistic" view. Aka not shadow and whatever. Send me a psn friend request... don't expect to be invited right away though. See, I'm trying to make sure that everyone I let in won't disappoint me... so it'll really take a long time for me to decide if you're dedicated enough or not, so it'd get annoying I'm sure. Just ask caren.

Anywho... Tomeh has finally been ungrounded I guess, so he's finally working on our battle system XD And what a battle system it is. I don't wanna say too much... but our battle system will pretty much be stolen directly from Final Fantasy X. Only with only 3 different speeds. However, we'd have 4 characters, 25 different levels, and yeah... if we manage to pull off my concepts, it'd be kewlio. Yep. So we're still chugging along whooooooooooooooooo

i really would like to work with you guys but im to busy with my projeect (kingdom hearts) energyray's project (scales of order) and a few others I forgot. but if theres any small peice of logic i can work on in my spare time... i started an rpg system and made a quick hud, i can give you the basics of that? it has ff style, which means select attack magic flee etc, thenit opens a second window which has the different attacks, again very basic, but it will cut down your hud time so if you want to see it i will pubb a quick level sometime this week named )chains of time HUD( (inverted hyphens ftw) and if you liket i will give it to you no problem, is that ok?2011-02-17 05:32:00

At least Tomeh finds it fun... and I'm giving him a timeframe set in months to do this in XD And we can just build around where battles are. Wheee.

Anywho I added some very, very vague info to the first post... check if you want.

As for story... for people who I've told, would you be willing to give your opinion on the matter? No spoilers though. D: But, if you've read it, then just say how you feel, k? <3

Well I wasn't too interested in changing it. I was more hoping that I'd get some positive reinforcement that this story is indeed epic from people other then the guy who wrote it. :O :O :O

... yep. Well... I want to start making a site and stuff... but I probably should keep this on the down-low till it's closer to completion ;-; May have cool sigs soon though XD

Hm, also. I may be in need of voice actors... soon... someday XD. Maybe. Well, so basically if you're potentially interested then you can say you're interested... maybe you'll be contacted in a few months time XD ;-;

Also, sent you a friend request, doesn't mean anything other then that it'd be easier for me to test you so when you see me on then yes. :kz:

We've got the basics of sackbot functionality with aero's gluing the controllinator onto a holo glued onto the sackbot trick. So checkpoints, scoreboard, game cameras and bubbles aren't a problem /cough

I was more thinking about cutscene and NPC making... and possibly helping with our special game sackbot. Not sure if tomeh wants help with the menu though. O noez logic. D:

Thanks, but level 1 is nowhere close to being done . Remember, I didn't plan the second half of level 1 yet. So yeah, it's not really halfway done yet, so don't mislead people.

don't really think we need another logic guy... Depends on what Tomeh says but he's got it mostly covered I think. And I don't really want to hire someone for whom this is 8th on their list.

Weeeeeeeeeeell... do to certain events (namely me being called an indecisive leader for trying to listen to team maters) it seems like Tomeh quits... ;-;

Which means we now don't really have a logic guy. For either our extremely complicated turn based set up, or das' suggestion of a side scrolling brawler with RPG elements... which apparently listening to was too indecisive even though said person fully embraced said change and thought it was the way to go before he turned around and blamed me >_>

Sigh. Ok, so, basically, I spose we don't have any logic person now. Which is just great. Well... /cough

Sorry rock about earlier, I only left because I was in a bad mood at the time. If you would be willing to take me back (I understand if you won't) I could still create the logic. I'm sorry if there were any misunderstandings at the time, I was just trying to prevent some things I've experienced before, but I know people do things differently.

So if you are willing to give me a second chance I'll make sure to do my best (not saying I wasn't doing my best before)

wow rock, that was a bit harsh. its a skeleton, not a cookie cutter.

you even said that you guys were having logic trouble, and who better to help w/ that trouble then i?

+ i never overexagerated the 7 projects thing (now 6 w/ one logicless one) it was just a prerequasite.

no need to be hostile.
just trying to help, considering you asked for it, i don't see why you had to be that way (twice now).

i guess i can't help then. good luck then. you'll need it w/o me jk.

Rock's just being a realist. We're not interested in people who have dedications to 7 (or I guess now 6) other projects as we know that whoever that person is won't be totally dedicated to giving his or her all to the project. We're also uninterested in any "skeleton" battle system you may want to offer us. We have our own logic guy (and a **** good one as well) who's working on a unique battle system that's just that: unique. I think your posts come off as rather conceited and you're trying to sell us your skeleton as the "best thing since sliced bread". It's not a way to make friends, as I'm sure you're aware of after the "hostility" that you're experiencing in this thread.

Now, I'm not trying to be harsh, in fact, I'm trying to do this in the nicest way possible as I'm afraid it's next to impossible to avoid coming off as harsh. Please don't take this post the wrong way. :[

not once did i do that. it was a suggestion since i saw that your logic guy quit a bit and that you guys might have problems. I don't have the time to make a full original B.sys from scratch, so i offered you something i already made.

and you did come off as harsh. That was a very mean post.
+ i'm full in 2 projects, 1 project is a "free time" thing, and the other 3 are just me being a logic adviser.
You haven't even seen my stuff have you?
I find it sad that many post me as a fraudulant, dishonest, knowitall, when in fact most people haven't seen my best work.

And what i ment by giving you my skeleton was that i COULD edit it in a way that would add ALL the things this B.sys disired (ie: what you guys call "original" )

thanks for dissing me guys. Thats VERY mature! I was just trying to help. NO more no less. WOW

Hey a_mailbox, don't take it personally.
RockSauron does have good intentions, but....well let's say he has really poor social skills, aaand some other stuff. He can't help it if he is mean. Heck, everyday he greets me with the term 'BRAT!', but means no harm.
And AeroForce, well I can't speak for him as much as Rock, but I imagine he also meant no harm. The way he said it is probably just the only way he could say it.
With new applications flooding in everyday, both are probably really stressed, on top of possible real life issues. So let's not take it personally, ok?

Why are you so desperate to join his group anyway?

No offense to Rock, but he sounds kind of... is douchey a real word?

Anyway, I'm sure the RPG will be neat and everything, but Rock comments like he's the head of his own game studio or something. "Hiring" people? Seriously? Unless, are you paying them, Rock?

I guess it's nice to see community members working together, even if it's for a ruthless dictator. /sarcasm By the way, what's this /cough business all about? I'm intrigued.

It's all a long story, you would have to be extremely active on LBPC for months to understand a bit of it.

I'm sorry, would you prefer me to use another term for the process of allowing people to join my group? Hiring just rolls off the tongue. Sorry if I don't adhere to any standards of language that make me have to make up another word for the process of trying to get people to join me >_> But thank you so much for insulting me

Anyway, as for mailbox... I'm sorry. To be fair, you applied before the whole bout with tomeh... so tomeh was here when you applied... so when you came in to yet another rpg and made it seem like we needed you to work for us... it was just insulting, really, for you to come in, and make it seem like we needed you because we were falling apart without you... So, um, ya. Sorry, I'm a ****, I know. Anyway

... Wait, what? /runs

I love a happy ending xD

Erm anyways.... get back on topic naow!

As you can see, "now" is relative to one's one position on the matter of time. For instance, how do we define "now"? Obviously, it would appear as though now is then (then being when the message was written). However, it would appear as if then was only now when now was THEN. For when the message of which we were talking about was written, then WAS now; yet at the moment, now is now. So while he told us to get back on topic "now", now referring to the exact moment in man's viewpoint of the space time continuum that we are presently witnessing, now WAS then. Yet, as you can plainly see, now that we are in the future, the future has become the present, so now IS now. Hence, I shall not hold it against any of you that you did not go back to the topic when you were instructed to do so, and rather would go on a metaphysical rant about the abstractness of time and out own limited viewpoint on the matter.

Moving on, this project is still rolling. Rolling. Rolling like a something something. Anyway, Tomeh is hard at work making our battle logic (I spent two hours filling out tags and wiring stuff for me, I'm so happy XD) but I don't really know how far he is so I'd let him give an update if he so chooses.

Das is working on level 1 and bmoney on level 2... ibubek is working on a cutscene, and acdramon is presently trying to finish another level... And Aeroforce is playing Dragon Age or his brother is or something.

Which is all of his. Whee. Progress is slow, partly (well, perhaps mostly) because some of our people are limited as to when they can go on, and since some levels are on their moons :/. Plus I am in need of a finalized sackbot with all our trappings soon, so yeah Well, we may or may not still be hiring, to be honest I'm not sure. It may be good though... And I should probably get it so that we all have our levels online so we can work on them even when the person who owns the level isn't online. :/

Because not even getting the first level done in two months means we could be waiting until 2012 to play this.

You do realize the majority of the reason level 1 is not complete is because of the extensive logic involved, right? And seeing as how this logic will be copied and pasted throughout each story level, I can imagine the pace will be sped up as the logic nears completion.2011-03-23 21:53:00

I know that you don't need the battle system (which seems to be the bulk of the logic) for pretty much the first half of the level.

Besides, whole epic masterpieces have been done in 2 months, while you've barely started the first level? Something besides the logic isn't right.

I've already tried making a series with only 5 people. Took forever, and pretty much everyone on the team lost interest. I'm not holding onto my breath for everyone currently on to be so enthusiastic in several months when I'm leaning on only 3 or 4 people to do the entire thing.

Actually, no, that isn't the reason. There is a LOT of level 1 that hasn't been made yet yet could be made quite easily even without the logic. It's just that whenever we go on we keep making what we already have as pretty as possible, despite me saying to work further ahead... Sigh.

So no, depending on six people to build all this, people who also have projects of their own and can grow tired of this at any minute, is not a solid foundation to rest on. You may feel excited and that you are able to build this all now, but do you think you'll be hat excited in five months with little to no progress?

Aaaaaaaaaaaand I completely forgot to applicate applicants. D:

Yes, I made that word up. >_>

Anywho, if anyone is still interested, send me a friend request on PSN saying that you want in. That way I'll be sure to remember to interview you or whatever. Benefits include being part in epic story and also a crazy atmosphere. I fee; like it's a good atmosphere but my craziness is getting in the way so I should probably let me team speak for me in that field :/

The level sounds amazing. I'd like to apply as a logistics person, because ever since January 18th I've been an awesome logistic..er...ster... person. Er... whatever. I have a keyboard and mic, and I will use whatever is preferred. On top of that, I have a good idea of how to get the logic to work... just PSN me (or I can PSN you) my username is Ringleader10. Sounds like a great level... Hopefully, I'll see you soon!

Hm... Something's not right here...

Anyway, I updated the title as you can see. Because it seems like some team members aren't on as much as I would like, and this will go slow forever like this...

But still we soldier on! And hopefully with more help. Ya.

Anyway, all potential applicants are hereby sworn to send me a friend request on PSN. For great justice sake.

We do not need musicians, though level builders are good... Would need to be really good ones. Also, our logician isn't on enough, which is kinda tough when we're pretty much waiting on him to build much of the levels around... so yeah. /sigh

Less secretive, more people = More interest,more creating.You have like, one logic guy and some builders, you need more logic guys and more creators in general.
When you announce a level you only hold interest for so long, and the longer it takes you to deliver the more people expect from it.

Hype = RockSauron game I supposed.

Also, Rock, I just wanted to say, and I mentioned this to Das today on MSN, I'm still interested in being your music guy. I guess the start of lacrosse + the large amount of school work that's taking place before my AP tests are really setting in and taking up my time more than I had anticipated. I'm honestly the most stressed out I've been in my life, and I figured the best way to reduce any was to cut out video games for a while (I'm quite honestly not playing any of my game systems, and haven't for a while). Das and I also agreed that a music score isn't completely necessary to continue building the project. I can always come in later and add the tracks, and this will probably be most apparent during the summer/after my AP tests when I have way more free time to do whatever I please. :] So bear with me for a little bit longer and I assure you that the music progress will pick up.

If I actually played LBP2 for more than ten minutes at a time I would happily help.
Anyways, Ace has a point. You guys have been in the dark for quite a while. No story info, no screenshots, etc. You're losing the hype quickly, and even the smallest of info will help rebuild it. Of course this doesn't affect me at all because I know everything

TBQH, at the moment I don't really care about hype. This project is stil a ways away, and if I start getting people excited, say, 20 months before release, then people will get excited and raise their expectations to unrealistic levels. So ya, I don't really care about hype this early in the game. Except that it would encourage more people to apply, but I don't want to get everyone excited so early in advance. Speaking of which, Clay, you saying you wana reapply? Cause if so, then there's an application form... >_> <_<2011-04-04 11:26:00

No, LBPC: TG took 20 months. I was using that as an example of why you shouldn't hype a game from the get go. And no, this isn't anywhere near 5 levels. This is about 10 numered levels, but it's currently looking like each level wil be two levels in itself, not counting cutscene levels... I can't think small. >_< And I don't need hype now, so ya. >_>2011-04-04 21:32:00

Actually the no response is just my way of... uh... being lazy?XD Ya I didn't really try to give you a shot... cause, well, I did say all applicants were supposed to send me a friend request on psn... so ya, it wasn't a no, it's just me forgetting about applications... again XD

You said that? O.o I did not see that >.>

I'm sorry, it was a bit hidden. In my defense I think I was on my ps3 so I couldn't edit the first post... still can't <_>

Anyway, obviously can't interview anyone now with PSN down, but always looking for applicants. /cough

Also... this is an awkward question to ask this far in... but Turn Based or Real Time battle system? Which would you prefer? Cause we do have a unique idea for turn based which would be awesome if we could do it... but our logic guy has gone missing and the logic may be too thermo indusive to fit in the levels most likely, so ya. Uh... anyone want to say what they would prefer? not you, Das, I'm talking to potential people who would potentially play this. /cough

Ummmmm....so should I re-apply? (Thank god, I thought I was the only one with PSN problems, I was starting to panic) regarding the battle system, I think that the real time battle system would be better. It's more exciting and provides that feeling of danger.2011-04-22 02:22:00

Ok, that's it >_< This is just shaping up to be another LBPC TG. Maybe it's just me and my horribleness and project management. But whatever. All we have is an epic story and scattered pieces of scenery. and contray to what some may believe, an epic story and saying we need to "make this epic" is not good enough. And since none of us have the slightest clue of how we can do this, nor the slightest interest in making it so... and this snails pace and only having a few people wanting to work at all is just something I can't handle again. If this doesn't change... And I know it won't since it hasn't any other time I've tried. Maybe it's me and I just suck. But whatever. This is just going to be another 20 month long project that is rushed out the door just to finally be done with it. And I just won't do this again >_<. So I suck and am unable to do anything besides think. A lot of good THAT'd do >_>

... so in conclusion, I probably just give up >_<

Rawk, no need to throw a fit. PSN has been down 2 weeks so you havn't seen the progression of things. I've made major progress. And just saying people do have other things to do in life, I'm sorry I can't create during the week for hours on end. But if you wanna end it, say it straight, without the probability part.... Yes or No? You wanna continue this?2011-05-01 23:03:00

It's not just PSN being down. It's that we still haven't done anything in almost four months. We don't have nearly enough progress after 4 months to justify spending years on this. I don't want to let go of this since this is my only sense of self worth... but I probably don't even deserve that self worth so eh >_>2011-05-01 23:09:00

You have to take criticism. You have to listen to the people who will play this. This project is failing, even Rock admits it. Acting like this doesn't help the project's reputation (in fact it damages it a bit). I'm sick of you being a jerk and acting like your above everybody else, including Rock, the guy who made this in the first place. I'm not the only one making these 'outside comments' either.

Son I am disappoint.

P.S. I know more than half the story, trust me.

Good for Rawk telling you.... And I don't try to be "above" anybody, sorry if that's how you take it. You have your opinion, since I made a comment about you it's justifiable for you to be annoyed and call whoever a jerk. I could care less. With Rawk possibly "giving up" that doesn't help it much either... -_-. But tbh it doesn't seem like the Rawk is wanting to do this anymore, so why should I? As soon as PSN is back up, Rawk, I'll send you and das his cinematic CoT logo and anything else that the members have created. I'm out. :/2011-05-03 03:13:00

Whoa whoa whoa, little bit of downers going on here, lets keep it coolio, no one said anything about scrapping this (better not spent like 48 hours of work on level 1 )

I do admit that I have become less in this project as of a few weeks ago, but now I believe its the time to move up and get the basic idea down, and progress quickly and then go in with the fine details later.

All I can ask is for encouragement, putting us down only makes us angry and then want to snipe your face off (which I can do BTW ), we can take opinion and criticism, but don't make it hate mail please. Which actually For this to be good I think we might want Beta testers who can say, 'this needs a better design', 'this needs more flare', etc.

I don't believe in criticizing games that aren't even released; its unfair/rude for the people creating. With that said, i think me along with many others would be extremely disappointed if this were canceled. While I understand what its like to see people leave, lose interest and not see any progression, its a waste to throw away such an ambitious idea you guys have--especially considering you guys have apparently started on the scenery or whatever.

Its overwhelming at times making an RPG--trust me i know-- and perhaps this is simply a sign of that frustration. Unfortunately, i lack the mesmerizing speech skills to give an original motivational message;Nor is it my place to tell you guys to continue. My only advice would be to take a break maybe, play other games and find some motivation to keep continuing.

Good luck

Well bster, if you want to quit I can't really stop you :/. If you still want in I'd be happy to have you... after all you are one of our most active people and we'd be hurting without you... but I suppose I can understand if you want to leave and won't try to top you. :/

So yeah, as for me... I've decided that I can't really expect everything to be done for me... especially for lack of trying :/. As such, I'm going to try and actually do some logic or something myself... I started on some acton logic today, but I will wait till I talk to some team members about that... I want to toss some ideas around and stuff. But yeah, I suppose I'm going to actually start trying to build now... which is odd for me to say since I'm in charge and thus shouldn't even be doing as little as I was really, but yeah. I suppose now I'll start to try and learn rather then expect others to do it for me. ... So yeah. Bear with me, team, I'd probably need some of your help XD... and in case you didn't notice we're still in business

What!? You mean people still make their own levels? No wai!

Kidding of course, Rock. If you need logic help, just ask. Once PSN is up, that is.

I find I work faster alone than with a team. Maybe I'm just too focused on getting things done the way I want them.

Then talk. You haven't messaged me or anything. And if you're just going to say we shouldn't seek outside oipinions, then stop. I don't want this to be THAT... close... thingy... well that secret. Well, I want it secret but I'd also want some opinions from people.

... speaking of which, application people. Obviously I can't judge you yet since there is no PSN, but if you want to add me on msn: rocksauron@gmail.com ... that could be good. So we can talk. And hopefully bond. Because having a good releationship would be key. Plus I could vet you even before it finally comes on. Plus if you're hired msn will be our primary method of communication. ... unless we all decide to move to another chat platform. I guess we could technically... anyway, also. lewled. your application looks rather... bland. While I don't expect you to have THAT much under your belt, I would like to see some... writing or something to detail you further. At the moment all I know is you want to be a logic guy, so can you describe yourself?

Requested Position: Logic, Im not really the most artistic but I am great at making things with Logic.
Qualifications: Had a few levels in LBP1 but none that great, once the new logic has come out I've really taken a liking to it and spend about 2 hours a day just building random things. I have yet to publish a level in LBP2 due to my creativity always going in different directions every second. If i was told what to make I could most likely finish the task. I have been working on an RPG type level in LBP2 currently and would be glad to show you once the servers are back up.

Sorry, you're Shal not shak XD

Anyway... I was thinking, real time wouldn't be that good in LBP2... I unno, I just can't really see action being too good when restricted to the Sackbot... Plus I have such a cool, unique turn based system that if done right would be awesome... I think. So... uh yeah. I AM SO INDECISIVE! D:

... spekaing of which, I gave Wlachen a task... since PSN is going to be down for a while and Tomeh is nowhere in sight, I gave Wlachenthe task of getting started on the battle system. While it is not really definite he'll be selected... well... I figured I might as well give him the oppurtunity to work while we can't see instead of just waiting XD. Plus it's the best way to see if he's capable of doing it- having him do it. anyway, even if he does decide to steal the idea, at least he'd deserve the credit for actually making that mess which I can't do so not too bad if he steals XD Not saying he would but, you know. ANYWAY... maybe I can give you other guys tasks to in the meantme... :/

Well... I just came to a hard decision, but I hope it's for the best.

Chains of Time is my dream game, and I want it to be the best. And, to be quite frank... I'm not too sure if LBP2 is the best avenue to pursue my dream.

As you may know, I'm going to try seriously to be a game developer... As such, I would want to have the chance for my dream to be a real game of some sort rather then a serious of interconnected levels on LBP2... I believe my idea is worth the trouble to make it a reality, and if there's a chance that it can be a better game, well... I'm going to try and do that.

So this may be the end for Chains of Time as the LBP2 project... hopefully, with luck, you'll know about it in years as Chains of Time, the game... While it literally is breaking my heart to turn back on my team like this, I just... you know, I really want my dream to be perfect. I hope my team can forgive me for wasting their time, and I hope they understand as I said in the pm... but, well, I hope everyone understands why I'm doing this. So in all probability... I suppose this is the end for this project in LBP2.

Sorry everyone

I seriously think this is the way to go. Wait untill youve got expeirience and wow us all with awesome PS3 exclusive (Hint, Hint) goodness.

How would you ever know the plot though? Oh wait, are you just talking about the little I've shown? Is that that good? Hm.

I am also working my way up to develop games! I just need to find out how I'm going to get $100,000 for a bachelors degree... Well I'm glad you're actually planning on making this an actual game! It sounds epic! I think you've made a very wise decision. Bringing this game to life on LBP2 is one thing, but now that you plan on making it an actually video game there is way more possibilities! I'm just wondering... Is this going to be a downloadable title or are you actually going to form your own company?2011-05-08 23:36:00

Rock, I am glad you made the choice for two reasons. The first being that a real game can be much more than just what lbp constrains it to. The second being it finally got me back into my game project I've been neglecting for far too long. Hope you know lots of C++, developing a full 3d game without a premade engine is difficult and time consuming, but I believe in you. Hope to see Chains of Time on my gamestop shelf in 2015.
Sincerely Brian.
