This is Vanasaliis, the lava planet

The Plot
The overworld is one level, and each planets are different levels
Cruiser
Daxar wakes up on the cruiser, he opens a door using a control
panel. After running to the docking bay a man gives Daxar a parcel. He is
told not to open it and to bring it to Arkenn Morrd. Daxar escapes but crash
lands on Koruta.

Koruta
Daxar Malekk explores koruta for any sign of life. Daxar finds a small village.
Daxar explains to the chief that his cruiser had malfunctioned and he had
attempted to escape, but ended up crashing here. Chief has some spare parts
from other unfortunate traveller's crashes and he agrees to give the parts to
Daxar if he kills the man eating plant that has been terrorising his tribe. Once
the plant is killed Daxar gains the ship parts and returns to his ship. There
are Vekanons searching Daxars ship, one is holding the parcel Daxar had
been given on the cruiser. Daxar scares them off and they drop the parcel.
the parcel opens as it hits the floor and a glowing shard slips out. Daxar
grabs it and takes off in a cutscene

Dartak
After fixing his ship Daxar travels to the close by planet of Dartak, where the
Inergalactic Defence are located. He enters the HQ to find Arkenn Morrd
waiting for him. Arkenn is pleased to see that Daxar is ok. Daxar asks about
the shard and Arkenn is very angry. he calms down and tells Daxar to meet
him in the council room. The council explain about the shards. the info is top
secret. someone of daxar's rank shouldn't know about them, but since he saw
the one in the parcel, he is let in on whats going on. There are 7 shards
around the solar system. Each one holds a limited amount of power, but
when brung together, they have the power to deside the fate of the universe.
The council desides to send Daxar to look for the shards. They mention they
have one in a vault on a lower floor, and ask Daxar to take it with him. After
collecting it Daxar returns to the council. using the new shard from Koruta they
scan the galaxy for the energy signature of the shards. Vanisaliis pops up on the
hologram. The council mentions that with their first shard the result came up with
Koruta. Daxar goes back to his ship and takes off to Vanisaliis.

Vanisaliis
Daxar lands on Vanisaliis. and goes along some narrow pathways above the lava, he
then finds the factory. a loud crash and screams come from inside and the emergency
doors come down. Daxar has to find another way into the factory. he uses the vents
to get inside and meets a group of workers. they mention a 'scarey monster' that ate
their friend. Daxar continues on and meets another group of workers. they say that
the generator has been destroyed, and the backup generator has to be turned on
manually by a number of switches. Daxar finds them all and pulls all but one. he meets
a survivor. when he enters the room where the last one is located, the lava robot
jumps out and eats the survivor. -PLACE EPIC BOSS BATTLE HERE- after it is defeated.
The shard falls from its body and the monster turns back into a normal Vekanon. Daxar
picks the shard up and pulls the final switch, opening the doors. He takes of and gets a
comm from HQ. they do a scan and tell Daxar that the next shard is on Atrellnes.

Atrellnes
Daxar attempts to land on Atrellnes, although he can't find a suitable place, so he drops a
rope from the ship and climbs down to a small rocky island. after swimming around a little
he finds an underwater village. some sackbots with swiminators give him some scuba gear
so he can breathe underwater. then several type 2 Vekanon swoop down and take some of
the villagers. Daxar is then asked to save them in return for a special prize. A few
underwater puzzles are completed to gain access to the Vekanon cave. Daxar kills some
type 2 Vekanons that are found in the cave and then finds the villagers in cages. Some type
2 Vekanons release a giant eel to attack Daxar. -ANOTHER EPIC BOSS FIGHT- Daxar leads the
villagers back to the village and the leader gives him the 'special suprise'. The Shard! Then
Daxar makes his way back to his ship. Another comm to HQ. The next shard is on Qimn-Tlast VII.
Qimn-Tlast VII
Daxar lands on Qimn-Tlast VII and immediately thinks its spooky. he notices a glow coming from a cave and enters it. the cave is pitch black and daxar carries strange light orbs to find his way. there are multiple ways to go, but Daxar has to follow the glowing path. once he reaches the end, he comes across a pool of water, he needs to put rocks in to raise the water level, so he can continue to the other side and grab the shard. when he reaches the other side, the cave starts rumbling and some Vekanons appear. Daxar has to carry the shard back through the cave while avoiding Vekanons. Daxar returns to his ship and takes off. he is told the next shard is on Icatiec.

Icatiec-Ice planet. few people. wild creatures attack
Quests-

Iensiok -small city. home town. futuristic looking, visually appealing almost to good to be true.(not like Dartak) nice atmosphere. the shard is hidden and only 1 person in the town knows where it is.
Quests-

The Slum - chill with mates, choose music to listen to (planet may not be included)
Mini Quests(No real Reward)- 1)Arcade 2)Shooting Gallery FPS 3)Watch the Credits

Prologue - 5% complete
Koruta - 14% complete
Vanasaliis - 7% complete
Dartak - 12% complete
The Slum - 10% complete

For the game, how many levels are there? You may want to try level emitting in order to save space. Or simply just make the overworld it's own level, and each planet another. Level link it so that scores transfer from each level, and use comphermc's guide on spawn swapping in level links (so you appear at different locations depending on your score.

Since this may ruin whichever scoring system you have. I suggest using sticker collection, and when they quit, they can cash in all their stickers for points.

Ok thanks for applying, I'll add you to check your costumes and hear a sample of the voice acting you can do!

We still really need another level designer, because it's not fair for one person to make 8 worlds and other levels on their own. check the original post for other jobs that are still available.

It's like a full time job. Haha, but it's no big deal. Creating these levels is fun, but I could use like... a level creating assistant.

So yeah. And please, don't be in the UK/Europe/China/where-ever-the-hell-else cause then you'll be create useless lag, and lag+creation+me=Someone will get hurt. lol
So yeah... Be in the USA somewhere near Texas... It's not too late to join! Assist the needy! (Me, because I have the most tedious job.)

K thanks for reading my half-rant, half-plea for assistance. I hope it touches your heart or whatever. lol

PLUS KEANINEKEAKNINE OR WHATEVER YOU SPELL YOUR NAME LIKE, I HAVE AN AWESOME PLOT IDEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I think you could use the main ship for a tutorial of how to play before you evacuate. Also, Daxar should have an assistant. I couldn't help but notice many references in your ideas that reminded me of the Jak & Daxter games (Naughty Dog's awesome creation before Uncharted!).2011-07-06 21:38:00

As usual, I have another great idea for the plot! Talk to me on PSN later and I'll tell you it! 2011-07-09 10:17:00

Just out of interest, what does Flames of Obsession have to do with the storyline you explained? @Pioneer_GB, can you please tell me what your ideas are on the storyline, so I can combine them with mine?2011-07-09 15:36:00

Nice question. Well I guess 'Flames' is a used to descibe 'massive and spreading'. its 'obsession' because everyone involved in finding the shards is obsessed, other than Daxar. Until the end...
So it's a massive, spreading obsession over the power of the shards, basically.

Off topic, I've added you to the GS group. There is an idea thread there, just post your ideas there and I will consider any ideas given.

You've stopped? But that can't be true, because you have Galactic Shards as your comment on PS3, and you always go on LittleBigPlanet 2....

No, I have not given up. I am still working on Galactic Shards but I haven't talked to wolfy for a while, which is probably why he said that... The detail manager is basically my way of saying "level designer that helps out rodfocov" Captain_Dinosaur, I've added you on PSN to see what you can do.2011-07-18 20:14:00
