LBPC Introduction.

Archive: 70 posts


I pretty much came up with this idea just before I went to sleep. I guess it sounded better at the time. But I decided, hell to it, I'm gonna go ahead and post it anyway.

I think we should make an "LBPC" version of the "Introduction" level on LBP. The one where all them faces and that pop up as you go along the level. Just have the more prominent members show their mugs off as you walk along. Nothing challenging, it's more there for a "Hey, we're a community. How you doing?"

I ain't even selling it well.

The idea's there, now post and things.

WOW....Yes. YES!

That idea is pure awesome! We should definitely do that!

And under each name, we'll have like their forum title! Like for example, mine would be "Forum Lord of Pure Good" Or something along those lines!

Wow! This is fantabulous

+Rep for you!

You need to have my picture in there as it is pretty epic.

that is a great idea. We could have one of the site filmers do a vid of it and post it to every new commer. But that's what i'm guessing you ment
I've already had something like this in process for ages of a lbpc level (not the rubbish one i made as a test in the beta lol) but not as an out and out introduction, that would be great.
Me being the official introducer king i'm all in favour of this

Yeah... that's what I imagined all along...
Nope. Never crossed my mind. That's a sweet idea right there. Give them details to find the level, or if they'd rather, simply watch the video.
Also, if we show the level off to as many people as we can, we could get some more puplicity for the site itself maybe.

I won't be making the level. I suck at making levels, and if this thing goes through, I'd want it to be done right.

I'd offer to make it, but my levels are kinda suckish

So... which one is Voltiare?

That was a joke by the way...

Hmmm... it's an interesting idea. I'm having a lot of fun with my current hobby of critiquing levels right now, and I don't use the PSEye very well, so maybe someone who is able to do so should...

the intro level shows all the Mm creators so this should show all the mods and admins of the site. picking prominent members will just become to much of a fight and then people will be dropped out that deserve to be there because there isn't enough room.

my two cents

I think this is true and will probably be the way to go
Though obviously I would still have to be in it

Well who's in it is a minor issue as far as I'm concerned. Obviously the mods and Admins would be in there, but if we needed to fill some gaps, and lengthen it a bit, then we'd take some people who have been here since day one to throw into it.2008-12-12 23:14:00

I'll do it. Sounds fun.

I think it's going to turn into a popularity contest with who is in it other than mods and admins and I really hate things like that. Maybe we should have it so we recommend other users to be in it? Then again, popularity contest again. Suggestions? I'd say there's enough room for about 30-35 people.

I think it'll be cool to have little quirks with people names that are related to their title or just how they are. Like RockSauron would ascend from the pits of hades with screams and flames and Stix would be entirely in gold.

EDIT: Just mods and admins? That's like....8 people. I think it would be more entertaining to have members too. Maybe you can only recommend people with say...1,000 posts or more?

Hm, if we're using our ACTUAL faces, then it would be odd for me to rise up from the underworld. I'm not really evil in real life, I just... pretend to be here. It would look REALLY odd for the real me to be there- and besides, I don't have a way to put myself up there...

So, um, well, I mean I AM ugly, but... um... I dunno, just had to say this. Bye!

Sounds fun. Obviously, since there isn't a real challenge to the level, it'd have to be very appealing to the eye.

In other words... It needs to look good. ...And sound good. d:

Agreed.

There were about 20-25 pictures in the introduction level if I'm not mistaken. More than enough for the more important members. Why shouldn't we have the same amount?>_> I don't see why the staff need to be the only ones in there.



Also, we can have it in by order of Join Date, not importance.

We could have some sort of contest, or choose by posts, by how many points a member has,
if he has any Trophies...The list goes on. The matter here is to choose.

Anyone who whines about not being picked will surprise me.

Thing is, I can see this having the potential to turn ugly very quickly if we're not careful :/

I mean, how we choose the people has to be handled very delicately to avoid the whole "WTF HOWS HE IN IT BUT NOT ME? I@M BETTER THAN HIM AND I HAS MOAR POSTS AND MOAR POINTS AND MOAR PEOPL LYK ME1!!!111!"

If whoever does get in this doesn't have a EYE TOY/PS EYE then they could just upload a pic to someone that does. Then they could just print it out and take a pc.
Although maybe it would be a good idea to wait till the image importing patch comes out. They did say it would be here before Christmas

Before we start overreacting on what this COULD turn into, let us start simple.

If you would be able to provide a picture of yourself for this level, and consider yourself well known around here, please add your LBPC username to this list along with your PSN:

Everyone's beautiful when you have 7 pints down you.. I'm sure Dorien will agree there.

We actually need to decide on a creator for the level. Chazo'Sulls offered, and so would I if I was lacking another week of exams.

Is there anybody else up for doing it?

& I also have another idea for this which is yet to come to fruition.. I be wurkin on it.

Yo Marino. This is my idea, so how about you back off and let me make some decisions on it? Christ...

Mods and admins are automatically in. Those who I feel would make interesting additions to the level. Prime examples being Rocksauron (entering from pits of hell) and stix, being a bright shining gold robot or whatever.

That was not my intention at all. I was just trying to move things a long a bit. Every project starts with a list of goals, things that need to be accomplished. How are we going to get a community level filled with members pictures if we do not know who actually has a picture?

This project belongs to the community. It is a collaboration.

But yeah, what shall we do next if we aren't going to get a list of names first?

I'll step away now. I don't want this to turn anything. Good luck though.

Well who the hell decided that we should have just people's real pictures?
I couldn't care if I sound selfish here. Fact is, I came up with the idea and apparently my opinion doesn't mean anything.

I'm sorting out a list. To save a bunch of people coming along going "Oooh! Put me in the game!" only to be told "No."

I think you guys should wait until Picture import comes into place (if it still is). Then you can put your faces on in crystal clear quality

As im not a Mod or an Admin im gunna go make one by myself. It will have 20 pictures of me and me alone. I will name it 'ME!' *Goes to cry in the corner*

Even though im not going to be in it, i'd love to help make it. If its not too much trouble. I've got loads of great ideas!

It would be helpful to get a solid list of people who can contribute to the level itself before we get much further.

Anyone who can contribute, then let me know.

Suppose we could have people who are being put in make themselves. Dunno how that would work out.

I like the sound of that. Hopefully both image importing and online create will be out before long so that's certainly possible. My vote is on that.

I really don't care if people have real pictures or not. I completely understand that some people won't want to use their own pictures, so I'll allow people to use an image or such to represent themselves. That would probably make it easier for people to know who's who in the forums.2008-12-14 19:29:00

I can possibly be in it, popping out from the ocean, I think I could make this myself, although I would probably use my avatar picture. Because I don't have a camera, and my phone camera is horrible. It's whatever, I don't really care if I'm not in it. I'm pretty chill like that I suppose. 2008-12-14 19:59:00

Well I've read a few pages of this, and I didn't see anyone mention the possibility of a contest to get into the level. Or even a random draw? Get a list of names with people who want to be in the level and have someone draw them from a hat. This way there can be no complaints/arguements, and we can get on with it Great idea by the way Valo, seriously.

Maybe make a new thread that will be up for 2 days, where people can post if they wish to be part of the level. Then at the end of the 2 days you can do a hat draw (with admins of course getting into the level regardless). What do you think?

These are all things to think about. I think it would be easier to have someone make one section, another a seperate part and so on. That way we get different ideas in there. Should look interesting.

If you saved it for online creation, there may be lag issues, disagreements with the way things are being made, any number of issues. I don't know. I'll think about this stuff more another time.
