I've noticed a flux of creator groups lately, and while I think they are good ideas, getting many brilliant creators together to create one level, it is hard to keep track of all those people. I have decided to make a less linear group of creators where everyone is creating their own solo levels, but people in the group can help other people with levels they are interested in. You don't even have to be creating a level currently to join, if you think your abilities as a creator can be used, join! And if you don't, I'm sure your wrong, so join anyway! Everyone is good at something, if not a bit of everything. There is a group instant messanger I set up, so that way people in the group can talk to eachother about current levels being made. If you want to go to the group chat, click here (http://www.chatzy.com/300135849381). When you go to the chat, simply choose your category of expertise and your PSN, and your in! Make sure to save the url to bookmarks if you plan to visit the group chat often. Here are the descriptions of all the categories: Cinematic: You are good at making cinematic moments, not just making a movie camera that goes somewhere, but knowing how to set up the timing and music so it all creates a magical effect. Logic: If you are confident in your logic abilities and enjoy the challenge of new logic that you have never done before, this is for you. Design: When you can go up to any level and make it shine using any means possible, this is most likely your category. Story: Some people are good at making great levels, but what about the story? Doesn't that matter? It is up to the creator in the long run, but story can make a huge difference in a level. If you are an aspiring writer, or just an accomplished dreamer, dream up some stories for us! Gameplay: Probably the culmination of logic and design, or just physics, if you know you can make something that is interactive and fun, then your in gameplay. Undecided: And finnaly, undecided. If you don't think you are good at anything (You are!), or just don't think you know enough of any one category to fit in their, then you can hang out in undecided for a bit. If you think you are pretty good at everything, then go ahead and stay here, plenty of people could use a proffesional creators help! The point of this group is so good creators and learning creators can all work together and play eachothers levels. Say one person is creating something you aren't interested in helping with, you will probably still play it when it comes out. This way we can all see the ideas that other people are working on and help, or just post our ideas and get some help of our own! There are no requirements for joining, just post saying you want to join and your current idea (if you have one and wish to share it) and I will add you to the main post and PSN. I hope this works out and we can all make great levels! Current members: Daldrez - Logic/Design steadler69 - Logic(Basic)/Design gamerater15 - Logic/Gameplay Epicurean_Dream - Logic

I forgot to say my idea! I really think what I came up with is quite a gem, so here it is: I have always liked the "Destroy the City" esc. levels, because it reminded me of things like Sim City where you can attack the city and it will react. Most "Destroy the City" games aren't very indepth though, and the city doesn't really react beyond screaming sackbots... So I knew I wanted to make a better version of a destroy the city level. As much as I wanted to do that, I didn't just want to make something that was already made, so I put on my thinking hat, and instantly took it off, as an idea had hit! There are two lots on either side of a grassy expanse. Inside these lots, two players can place physics blocks and units. By using three different buttons, each player can make his/her units either attack, retreat, or stop. By holding down the button, they could make all of their units perform the action. Units not set to attack or retreat would stand still and attack any enemies who enter their range. Falling physics blocks would hurt enemy troops and your troops, so you could make towers designed to fall on the enemies when they destroy a block as an effective defense. What this would be is pretty much: Build your city. Place defenses. Oh no, we are under atttack! We barely survived... THEY WILL PAY! (Attack) So it is like a city defense/destroy the city/RTS, but all in a versus level! I can't wait to work on it this weekend and get a beta up! (And by the way, you were added to the members list steadler69.)

So in short, its not like every group out there, just exactly the same...which is different somehow.

Well it is different in the way that we all communicate and help eachother as a group, but don't create one single "Group" level together. We are just a group of solo creators helping eachother out in our areas of expertise. I personally don't like being told what kind of level I am going to be making next, so I think if we all post our ideas, then members can help with what they think is cool.

Exactly, that's exactly what every group does nowdays. Sure there may be one or two that do projects together, but its usually something they've planned and not forced. So...yeah, same as every gropu that has appeared lately.

I don't think you understand... We as a group don't plan anything, or do anything. The categories are just there so if someone needs help in a specific area, they can find someone who is good in that area. Then all of the solo creators post what ideas they have or what levels they are currently working on, and other group members can help them out and play the levels from group members. So we are all just helping eachother out by creating and playing the games with eachother. It's more like a group of friendly neighbours rather than an actual "Development" group.

So in other words, its not really a group really, since you don't do anything? What's the peoint of a group if you're not really a group? I mean, thse forums hold the same and way more benefits than this group. If you need help, you post and people may help, but withouth being confined to a group. Plus all the benefits of being a forum. I'm just saying that this kind of groups seem to only be there just to be there, like just "to join the club" of people who are in groups/ clubs/ clans. Since its not really necesssary and all. Kinda like those cheap insurance companies you contract just so the cops won't tell you anything, this seems to be a group made just to be in a group/ to have a group, m8. :S

@Epicurean_Dream Added. I noticed none of you are posting any ideas... Any ideas or levels you are currently working on? I am currently working on the idea I posted earlier, and it is coming along. I already have soldiers done and most of the walls.
