Dimentia (LBPC6?)

| http://i54.tinypic.com/mkhsmp.jpg 36287 Most of my projects are merely ideas that I end up working together a tech demo for, and this one seems like one that really grabs my interest. The level's gameplay style will be based off of the game Crush (Sega, PSP), while the story was written by Clayton (Claydohwizard) and Julianotis1 (Juliankay1). A video link to gameplay of Crush can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udEywtrjBkw Basically, the game will focus on the transition of a world between the second and third dimension. It is a platformer that can only be completed by triggering that transition. I HIGHLY recommend that you do not extend the dropbox below if you want the full effect of the level when its complete. It will, as the term is used, spoil it for you. EDIT: The plot has now been restricted to those who aren't part of the group for this project http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/group.php?groupid=1041 To join the project group, click the above link, join, and await approval.

I want this done in time for the LBPC6 contest. I could use designers, logic help, cutscene creators, costume designers, idea-men (lets call them that  ), troubleshooters, sackbot logic specialists, and voice actors. Honestly any job thinkable. Please shoot me a message either on PSN or LBPC if your interested. I am keeping track of all helpers in the slightest and adding them to a credits level. I would like to have it done before Jan. 15 | 2011-08-18 03:36:00 Author: Clayton  Posts: 181 |
| Just a bump, not much feedback. | 2011-08-19 07:36:00 Author: Clayton Posts: 181 |
| How about "Dimension Shift", you could make a futuristic theme to it, something like avalonia. | 2011-08-19 08:37:00 Author: DarrienEven  Posts: 217 |
| Yeah, definitely, finished the logic yesterday and really has a futuristic feel to the transition. The two themes I'm leaning toward is a dark, rustic city, or a futuristic theme. Also, looking for 3D help still, so if anyone has experience, your help is welcome. | 2011-08-20 05:35:00 Author: Clayton Posts: 181 |

| Sounds interesting. But how would you do it? | 2011-08-20 20:49:00 Author: craigmond  Posts: 2426 |
| Visuals: I'd have R2 as the toggle to shift dimensions by having the R2 on the controlinator hooked up to the cycle of a two way selector, and have one of the selectors output hooked to toggle to the depth camera, and have it so if you press R2, it toggles the second selector output which will switch to the flat camera, making the whole creation a flat landscape, and have the platforms that used to be way in the distance (Using the 3D tool) appear to be in the same landscape as the platforms in the playable layers (since its 2D the whole scene will be one layer, like Mario). Gameplay: The second selector output (2D) would be hooked up to an emitter, which emits invisible platforms which can actually be walked on, unlike the 3D layers, but when the invisible ground is lined up with the 3D layers (viewed in 2D), it look as if the player was walking on a 2D version of the 3D layers. Its kind of confusing to write, but understandable when playing. It will be sort of a puzzle game. I also plan on adding traps, for example, theres a torch back in the distance lined up with curtains in the foreground, if you where to go 2D while passing the two, the games layers would flatten, sort of squeezing the torch and curtains against one another in the single "2D" layer. This would cause the curtains to ignite and cause the room to collapse, resulting in game. I will be working on it tonight. | 2011-08-22 09:00:00 Author: Clayton Posts: 181 |
| if u make this i will be like : (______________) AMAZED, this would be a cool level, sadly most of the 9 year olds playing wont have any idea how to beat it because kids these days just dont think, which is sad : /, but i will diffenatly beat it > :O, allllllllllllllllsoooooooo, i can help a bit i guess when i get lbp2 back : D | 2011-08-22 09:11:00 Author: Unknown User  |
| Aha Thanks a lot! I was having trouble explaining it in game to you, happy you got to see the video. I havent had any work done, Im still making the theme for the tutorial, which I may post while Im making the level | 2011-08-22 23:02:00 Author: Clayton Posts: 181 |
| Level work has not actually been started yet, doing some music work for others, but once that is complete (in a day or two), intense level work will be started | 2011-08-23 14:28:00 Author: Clayton Posts: 181 |
| This sounds CRAZZZYYYYY. But good. I'd be happy to help, but sadly not that much since I'm knee-deep in work doing my own level. I'll be on tomorrow (probably) so add me and maybe we can set something up. | 2011-08-24 02:05:00 Author: Julianotis1  Posts: 110 |
| Sorry missed that, I will deffinitely add you, Im actually going to get started today! Im soo excited for this level, hoping it gets me known | 2011-08-25 01:39:00 Author: Clayton Posts: 181 |
| Officially got the transition working great! Add and drop by if you like to check it out. Basically, if your currently in 3D, and you hit R2, your sackboy will jump up in the air, accompanied by some sweet sounds, and stomp down on the ground, creating a pounds sound, which begins a short transition in which it transfers to 2D. Also, work on this level has officially begun. All main sackbot logic is complete, scenery is being started. I'd love 3D scenery help by the way! | 2011-08-25 13:29:00 Author: Clayton Posts: 181 |
| Came up with a new name: Dimentia. Its a play on words between "dementia" and "dimension." I thought that the protagonist may be playing in some sort of dream world, which played like 20% into the "dementia" aspect, 80% because it makes the title sound awesome. Update: Also made a logo! Seen in the initial post  | 2011-08-26 03:16:00 Author: Clayton Posts: 181 |
| Pretty twisted logo there. | 2011-08-26 03:21:00 Author: DarrienEven Posts: 217 |
| I had a more twisted one, with red eyes in the background and whatnot. I have a plot idea: The protagonist is in a dream, a very beautiful, bright, vivid colours, which amazes the main character. The player must go through the platformer if he wants to wake up (the doctors label his case a sleeping sickness). Then as the player progresses through the game, the environment slowly changes into a darker theme, and the player realizes that if he does not succeed in completing the dream, he will never wake up. After learning this the game transfers into a full blown nightmare (I will try to make it as sketchy as possible). This is where things get dangerous. When a player dies, it will show a short death clip followed by a "Game Over" screen. The player is then presented with the option to retry from last checkpoint, or quit. Anyways, I will work on this as much as possible. | 2011-08-26 07:09:00 Author: Clayton Posts: 181 |
| Cool idea dude, I'd love to help. Well, Im off now bored of not playing LBP | 2011-08-26 12:23:00 Author: NcLc2010  Posts: 72 |
| Any helpers are welcome Also, message me if you'd like to take the system for a spin, I have made a locked level featuring the system (really just has a couple items in it, but will be updated daily) and if you would like to sign up as a tester, let me know. To testers: Just check the updated date on the level, if it has changed, test it out. Leave a review on any bug. I will delete the review once It has been fixed. | 2011-08-27 09:12:00 Author: Clayton Posts: 181 |
| Worked out a plot for the level, check the drop menu at the initial page. Do NOT drop the menu if you want the full effect of the level when you play it. It really gives a lot away. | 2011-08-28 23:50:00 Author: Clayton Posts: 181 |
| Bump. Im still working on it, but Id like to get some feedback | 2011-09-01 03:52:00 Author: Clayton Posts: 181 |
| Update: HUGE plot update, took a different approach, and in turn had to limit availability of spoiler details to those who are members of the project group. http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/group.php?groupid=1041 To join the project group, click the above link, join, and await approval. | 2011-09-02 00:36:00 Author: Clayton Posts: 181 |
| I am having trouble making a few things, I'd love a designer for help. A car is a crucial part of the opening scene, but I cant seem to make one. I also need a forest made, Ive been trying all sorts of style, but I also need trees in the background and foreground extra layers, and I cant really do that, I have very limited design capabilities Anyways, shoot me a message on PSN if your willing to help, you will be credited in the description (or the credits section of the main menu, depending on how many helpers I get). | 2011-09-03 02:13:00 Author: Clayton Posts: 181 |
| I went ahead and applied to become a member of your project. I'm pretty good at taking other peoples ideas and building upon them for the better of the entire project, so I feel I'll be a great addition to the team if you're still accepting people. | 2011-09-03 02:43:00 Author: Unknown User |
| Sounds great, Ive accepted the request, any input would be great | 2011-09-03 06:08:00 Author: Clayton Posts: 181 |
| Hi Clayton. Your concept sounds amazing. Although I won't have time to help you create, you can send me a PSN Friend request so you can send me a key when you need some Beta testers. I'm very curious to see how you accomplish the transitions seamlessly. | 2011-09-03 14:24:00 Author: RickRock_777  Posts: 1567 |
| No problem, youll get the key today | 2011-09-03 18:28:00 Author: Clayton Posts: 181 |
| Ohh, this sounds cool. I can offer a little bit of help if you want, although I have no experience in 3D (never found a proper cascade for it so never really tried it), I have a bit of experience/ideas when it comes to beautiful/creepy levels. I did have a few concept designs similar to this that only failed due to my incapability with logic (well, I can work things out I just don't enjoy the process). One where the player would repeatedly be sent into a dream world at random points in the level and they had to complete a simple objective to return and one where the player controlled time (slow-mo basically) and whenever he did it would show messages in blood on the wall and the level would slowly fall apart. Oh... and I've been told I can to visuals pretty well. You're going to have to check my levels to see if that statement's true though. Is it possible for me to play the demo? | 2011-09-04 12:56:00 Author: JonnysToyRobot  Posts: 324 |
| Your help would be great, I really feel like a fool when people ask what I was working on when they joined me. They don't exactly take me seriously when I say that I was just trying to make a tree but couldn't do it XD But yeah, as far as your specialties go, I am the EXACT opposite. I love doing logic, and I am very experienced with it. But when it comes to visuals, I hate doing them. I can make simple things, but hate having to do it. Finally, I should have been specific when I say "demo." It really is a bench, and a box. Though I will be starting out a larger demo (which will not display any visuals, just platforms) today. Anyways, I'll add you! | 2011-09-05 15:20:00 Author: Clayton Posts: 181 |
| Apoligies, havent been able to turn on my PS3 since school started. I will be trying to fit in time to work on it as much as possible | 2011-09-09 22:38:00 Author: Clayton Posts: 181 |
| If you still need any help with visuals or testing or anything you know I'd be willing to help | 2011-09-26 03:01:00 Author: kuppokid  Posts: 79 |
I'd love to help with testing. I'm great at breaking things!  Also, if you need any creation help, I'll be happy to do that, too. | 2011-09-26 05:27:00 Author: Speedynutty68  Posts: 1614 |
| I'd love to help with testing. I'm great at breaking things! Also, if you need any creation help, I'll be happy to do that, too. I added you on PSN but you have max friends, so message me if you see this! Anyways people! I took an LBP break, not by my own choice, school is too time consuming. Anyways, as of today Ive decided to start playing regularly again! So I am picking the level back up. Im working up a demo (for real this time). So help is once again needed! | 2011-10-28 23:59:00 Author: Clayton Posts: 181 |
| Also, I am in need of an in-game logo designer! I can make a logo on photoshop but I need one for my level badge/main menu. Message the logos to me over PSN, if I like one, I will let the maker know. They will be included in the description (or credit level if the description gets to large), and their logo will be in the main menu of the level. | 2011-10-30 18:16:00 Author: Clayton Posts: 181 |
| Update: I am well into a demo/tutorial level, but ran into an issue, I am having move camera troubles! I made a thread in the Help! section, please see if there's anyway to fix this: https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=65024-Movie-Camera-Troubles I will credit the helper in the description/credits level when I am done, trust me, this is my best level and idea ever, stop by and check it out | 2011-11-06 05:28:00 Author: Clayton Posts: 181 |
| Massive update to the tester level. Previously, the level consisted on a box, a bench, and a swing that the tester could just mess around with, now, it has a great looking menu system, as well as one section of the tutorial completed. Beta testers include me, cvb23e, juliankay, gamerater12, and others. Message me on Psn (claydohwizard) for a level key if you'd like to be a tester as well.

| I had reports of my testing level freezing people's PS3s, this has been fixed! Also, I added another section to the tutorial. I unlocked the level for the day, but I am placing a lockbox on it tomorrow. The code will be 1593. | 2011-11-10 01:56:00 Author: Clayton Posts: 181 |
| i like what you've done, the idea is simple and well done and it's great that you fixed that freeze bug, seriously it's great, there is just one thing, the 2D camera is way too high, i can't really see the floor and i fell a lot of time because of that, but i don't know if it's coming from your level or from my tv. keep going dude, you rocks! | 2011-11-10 12:08:00 Author: Haru- Posts: 55 |
| Ill update that tonight When I was setting the cameras, I lined it up with the brass floor, but I didnt take into account that when your player moves up, so does the camera. Thank you Haru-, you are a huge help! | 2011-11-10 13:18:00 Author: Clayton Posts: 181 |

| New updates! I am applying a lockbox tonight, unlocking it once tutorial is complete, and only handing out codes to testers. ALSO, big news, my level matches the criteria for the LBPC6 constest, so maybe we can get it done for January 15. Meaning, I will be opening up jobs for help! I need this done as soon as possible, maybe we could win the contest! Read initial post for jobs | 2011-11-17 23:24:00 Author: Clayton Posts: 181 |
| in that case good luck for the LBPC6 buddy! | 2011-11-18 18:25:00 Author: Haru- Posts: 55 |
| Of course the day the new contest comes out, I manage to corrupt my hard drive. Today I had to completely reformat it, so it deleted everything. Im going to try and recollect everything I had. Uggh.. Anyways, I didnt lose my level, since I had it published on my earth, sort of. I had a whole 'items' section of the tutorial, which is now lost. Anyways, I still need all the help I can get, and more now that I really have no items. | 2011-11-20 20:33:00 Author: Clayton Posts: 181 |
| I am assembling a 4-8 person team for the LBPC6 contest! The thread can be found here: https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=65342-LBPC6-Crisis!-Had-to-Reformat-HDD-Need-Team There are only four crowns being awarded to the winning team, so Ill only be able to reward 3 other people with crowns, the others will be credited to the best of my ability! I will decide the crown receivers when this really picks up, see who is really committed to this level as much as I am. Anyways, anyone who wants to help, please apply at the thread posted at the top of this post. | 2011-11-22 01:14:00 Author: Clayton Posts: 181 |

He created The Mercenaries (partly so did I) and some other levels I don't care about, I mean remember. So I highly recommend him for use. As long as he is active, because he had er.... let's just say he had a LITTLE accident. (Irony there, another pun, really need to stop that.) | 2011-12-01 21:24:00 Author: Roneranger  Posts: 415 |

| UPDATE: Just got the inventory working with the bot (as in you hit Triangle to open/close the menu. It works great and the Items section of the tutorial will be up this weekend | 2011-12-04 00:08:00 Author: Clayton Posts: 181 |
| Hmmm. Looks like something I'd be able to help with. (Finally) When will you be on and in need of help? | 2011-12-04 03:22:00 Author: Undarivik Posts: 442 |
| Stupid me, went to my dads, brought LBP2, came home the next day with a PSMove controller, and forgot LBP2 at his house an hour away. I hope to be on this week | 2011-12-04 23:34:00 Author: Clayton Posts: 181 |
| Any progress on this level to report? | 2011-12-08 17:15:00 Author: Roneranger Posts: 415 |
| Plenty. I am finishing the tutorial, which may not sound as important, but it is a way for me to test added features on the bot. Perfectly working inventory system with extra cool additions like heart rate corresponding to player health. When a player picks up an item in game, it will automatically emit near the inventory and find an open slot. I am currently working on item hotkeys and death sequences. Add me on PSN and check it out if youd like. Note: I hop to update the demo on my earth massively this weekend with a whole other section of the tutorial | 2011-12-08 20:40:00 Author: Clayton Posts: 181 |
| Not to be rude, but you don't have a great division of labor. From what I've seen, it is you doing all the work. Just saying. | 2011-12-08 20:58:00 Author: Undarivik Posts: 442 |
| Cool almost RPG like. BTW it is his level and he can do what he likes. | 2011-12-09 15:55:00 Author: Roneranger Posts: 415 |
| Not to be rude, but you don't have a great division of labor. From what I've seen, it is you doing all the work. Just saying. Well I dont even have a story written and the logic is so much and so unorganized. Real work hasnt even started yet. Im going to build a sackbot, which is still incomplete (all I need is death sequences, and then a couple adjustments, and then once he's done, I will build the entire world around him.) There is small stuff I need done, and if anyone checked the group discussions youll see I posted a task list a week ago with no responses. If im unavailable, just read it and choose one. | 2011-12-09 16:51:00 Author: Clayton Posts: 181 |
| What do you need for death? That can be made very simply with a tag triggered by whatever you have for health logic. | 2011-12-09 21:11:00 Author: Undarivik Posts: 442 |
| Well I mean more like causes of death. I have made other methods of death than fire, electrocution and getting squashed. I have traps that stab, places where you can get stuck for good, anything like that. It needs to kill them properly, and needs to look good | 2011-12-09 23:06:00 Author: Clayton Posts: 181 |
