Hey LBPC,

Recently Toykyomegaplex and I conceived an idea to create a small LBP-game that runs about the size of a DLC pack.

We are looking for a few more talented creators to help us complete this project...

So first I'll explain a bit about our idea and then elaborate on exactly what we're searching for.

The project:

Our project is currently envisioned to be a mulit-level project with some mini-levels to supplement it. The main story levels would span three main levels and a final boss-rush level. Each "adventure" level would also have its own "mini-race-challenge" level, which would be hidden in the main level via key.

The focus for this series is clean, fun, platforming levels which are set around a story that drives the player forward. Artistically we are currently thinking of putting an emphasis on using limited materials with intricate stickering. We also are attempting to produce a set of levels that are both cohesive yet unique from each other.

The current story, (with subject to extreme modification) is that sackboy is somehow pulled to a fantasy island where a dark menace has befallen the once vibrant landscape. It is sackboys job to transverse the islands locals to restore order and vibrancy to the realm.

We have currently started production of the first level of the series which is a special sort of bone-yard. ( I don't wish to give away any specifics to ruin it )

Finally our overall focus is to make a small-series of quality levels that are fun to play and feel like a collective and unique adventure. It is our vision that a small group of talented creators can achieve this goal the best.

The series will be published on an alternative account created specifically for this project. All involved in the creation process would recieve credit.

So, what we are looking for...

We are currently seeking to add two creators to our crew. These are the descriptions of the specific roles we want:

1st: Level designer. This person would work alongside/under Toykyo and I in creating the main levels. There is still room currently for a new individual to make a big impact upon level development as we really only have one level planned out. The others are only vague ideas currently. Input and suggestions of any kind would be welcome... but final decisions on quality and continuity of the levels would lie with Toykyo and I. (In the instance that a creator of enough talent wishes to join we may consider giving more authority)

2nd: A mini-level designer. This person would be responsible for creating the "mini-levels" that would be hidden to find in the main story. This designer would essentially be remixing prop pieces that toykyo and I create for the main level in order to create a score challenge level with the same theme. Individual initiative is welcome, but again, final decisions on quality and continuity would lie with Toykyo and I.

So, what should you do if you want to appy to join?

Send me (Lockstitch) a PM explaining to me breifly why your like to work with us on our project and why you feel you'd be a good fit for the project. However, the application should be brief, as we will be going off of previous work and reputation more than a written application. There is no deadline and we will likely keep these spots open as long as they are unfilled.

Finally, please don't be upset if you aren't selected when you apply... it is our goal to keep this project of the utmost quality, which means we cannot afford to take chances on team members. We thank you for your interest in our project in advance!

PS: that goofy banner was made by Toykyo and is a joke.

"Lock & Toykyo looking for some talent" Hmmm... That sounds a little shady you pimps. Hehe. Anyway as you know Lock, I'm currently involved in other collab/s project/s so getting the time to get involved in this may be an issue at the moment. But if things change i'll definitely hit you up as I think it's a great idea. Thanks.2011-01-18 09:13:00

I wish I would be able to help you, but my focus is Art, so I mainly just make stuff look good. lol
And you are a good enough creator that you could do that on your own.

this is not the project, this is locks own level, were currently waiting to resume this project after a short break, since the game just came out. its better that way till were both on the same page and had our fun with making our own individual stuff.
