LBPC Contest #6 - A Quest For Glory (deadline extended to January 31st)

Archive: 355 posts

also partially because everyone else (minus one group) has been secretive and we think it's their turn to share some juicy details...

as for me, I can't really give info away on my project. because i don't want to and mainly because i don't know if i'll get it done in time for the contest. with how one of my members dropped out last month. and that only left my team with 3 real members, me included. and i've been doing most of the work myself. but with only 15 days left it'll be a bit of a rush job even with everything made so far. and sense it is only 15 days from now, i see no reason to give away any info on my project at this point in time with the deadline so soon. *mew		2012-01-01 13:25:00

Sorry to say xtremesackboy, but l1ghtmare, alley_cat, smasher and velvet--audio dont have crowns

I'd say that nobody's yet a declared winner. Let's say Mr O (who I made up now) is amazing at beautiful scenery. He has five Mmpicks and A LOT of plays. For this competition, he has teamed up with Mr S (a splendid logic guy) and Mr B (who's amazing with music). However, their levels landed on last place, since, although the amazing scenery, logic and music, the levels were boring, unoriginal and had a cliche to Quest. They loose against Mr M and Mr G, whose best level has 84 plays (jukebox jumper). They aren't at all as good creators, but handled the task in a great way.		2012-01-01 14:03:00

I never say underdogs can't win, only that 1 guy alone can't stand a lot of chances against some full fledged teams.
And that's the reason why I always advised to create 4 people teams.		2012-01-02 06:52:00

Quite interested to see what comes out of this. Over the holiday break I noticed a sharp drop in numbers on the forum. They seem to be slowly climbing back though. I wonder if such a big contest has also contributed to inactivity.2012-01-04 06:46:00

Honestly i think the deadline should be held back another week, i'll explain. For a lot of people who are entering this contest, this is their first time truly working in a team project, and for some they had to spend a maybe week or two looking for friends that'd want to join them on a project for this contest and would be of any real help. so i lot of the first 2 or so weeks IMO is most likely spent trying to find a team and dealing with trying to manage it, then there's always the chance a member or two may drop out of a team little while later, which can really confuse the way the team runs and will maybe have to reassign jobs to others within the team ETC for about a week or little less. then a lot of the first month or at least the first 2 weeks will also be used idea planning for the project, creating the story, planning the level and gameplay concepts, and depending on how many members there are in the team and what everyone's interests & skills are... it can take a bit to get everything laid out nicely for everyone. so if everything don't go perfectly, and chances of that are super low unless the people in a team normally work together on projects. that would only had leave the normal teams in this contest with about maybe a month & a week left to create 4 levels. but there is also the fact that it was just not long ago the holidays. meaning a handful of members (if not all of them) in a team may leave the group for a week or so before they'll came back daring that time. so i'm guessing at least half the people who entered this contest when it comes down to it once it is all said and done really only had 4 weeks in order to create 4 levels. now i know that's just life and we all likely just have to live with them facts. but i'm just saying, IMHO. i really think the deadline should be pushed back at least 1 week to make up for the time most people were gone on the holidays last month and the very beginning of this one. *mew2012-01-04 07:20:00

it makes sense since it was the holiday, i see your reasoning behind it, though..... i alone have creating 4 whole levels worth of material, that is me, one single guy, if i can do that in the time thay gave us im sure a dedicated 4 man team can make 4 levels in the same time.

Now i understand all of the reasoning behind this but honestly 4 levels is not a lot of material for 4 people and we have had a whole lot of time in which to complete the assignment in, and dont get me wrong, we arent close to done either but hard work can pay off, you can be up to date with everyone else within 2 to 3 days if you push hard enough.

Still your easoning is valid, i simply believe we have had enough time, despite the circumstances.		2012-01-04 10:06:00

So the deadline is officially on the 31st? While I have been to my share of competitions, normally I would say this is unfair to those who really tried to get the game out by the 15th. But this should give groups time to polish up their projects and in the end we will all produce better levels. Things have happened in my life over the break that did delay a lot of my development time, so I do thank the judges for the extra time.

You guys wont regret this, trust me on that one 		2012-01-04 14:19:00

I mean...these are LBP competitions...stuff like this happens always.
What I said some contests ago is that people doesn't have to stop working on the projects, even if they miss the deadline, they should release the level anyway.
See...contest is not only how good/skilled you are, but also how strongly want to win, remember this in your life guys.
Also, partecipating is always fun and can be of help 		2012-01-04 16:03:00

Unless it's too late for this now, I'd like to ask if anyone has a spare place on their level-making team, I'm pretty good at the artistic side, putting in as much detail as I can and hopefully making the level look great, I can help for about 2 hours per day and atleast 4 on weekends, reply on here or message me on PSN: lordmidgit

um... havn't given an update in a whie so here it goes...

Slayer progress:

soundtrack = complete and will be released to the public sometime after the levels go live
Levels 1 + 2 are finished
level 3 is technically done but needs assembled
level 4 visually done but requires installation of mechanics.

Um... yeah... thats about it... next you guys hear will be when it is released.

On a side note... it's a shame only one team can win, 2 months is a long time to be dedicated to a contest and it's gonna be gutting if you come second... there's aot of high quality entrants... but then I suppose that's just how these things work...

...doing it for the glory XD... clever contest cause we've all been questing for it... XD

No matter, you judges are gonna have one great journey while going through these anyway!

*Whispers* maybe everyone should win... *runs away*

I've secretly been a doubter of this contest from the go... Believe me, I'm not proud of it. It's just I haven't played that many multi-level community series that have been excellent. And to achieve that level of excellence in two months is really quite an amazing achievement... I hope you are all worthy of a spotlight and MM pick!

As I don't have a vested interest in this contest as a creator... I've tried to keep current with this thread as a player, but at most times there's nothing really new here... So I'm curious. With the extention of the deadline and the emminent release of a 'new' functionality... Do you think the Muppet Pak will play any roll in this contest?

It would seem any team who came early to the original finishline could find themselves at a slight disadvantage... atleast, in the Ohhh's and the Ahhh's department as players are enraptured in the curious joys of the NEW.

Any thoughts?

I'm amazed a single creator can create a decent level in 1 month, yet they do, brilliantly. From there, 4 creators making 4 levels in 2 months doesn't seem like stretch. But I doubt that the release of the Muppet level kit will have any impact at this late stage. If anything, those teams that finished early will have more time to include some of the new decorations, materials, music, etc.. It would be very risky to make any actual gameplay changes at this point, so I don't think we'll see anything really "NEW" like the Attract-O-Gel.2012-01-24 16:34:00

4 creators making 4 levels in 2 months doesn't seem like stretch.

that's only if your team were active in the project and everyone got along good and people don't leave or get to busy with other things in life to help. that said, i'm here to say i am now sure that I am dropping out of this contest... i spent the whole first month just mostly managing my team. i only got about 1 and a half level done because i was the one that build most of the project up until now, and i'm not a fast level creator myself. but still, me and my friends are still gonna complete my project. but we are just gonna take our time now and no longer try to rush it. but still. good luck to you all. i'll still have fun playing some of your guys levels ...but just make sure to still look forward to my project in a month or 2~ *mew		2012-01-24 17:23:00

When we of the Contest Crew set a contest in most of the cases is to let people challenge themselves to push the boundaries of the game.
We don't succeed every time obviously since we're not perfect, but we hope that the published levels can lead the way somehow.
This time the purpose was encouraging people to work together since I honestly think that in LBP the skills of creators don't sum but multiplies.
It's hard task to put people in a team together, but it's also a lesson in life someway and fuels the feeling of friendship that imho is the best thing this game has to offer.
I hope that the teams that enter had fun and a nice time with their friend.
In my little experience as a creator, the best moments were those when I created with someone, sharing ideas, watching respectfully the other people working, learning and sharing tricks.		2012-01-24 23:34:00

Oh, I honest believe the contest crew has already given the community a slew of original inventive levels we might not have otherwise seen. Raising the bar, raising competition, and in general raising the value and awareness of LBPC. I wouldn't knock you guys... I respect the heck out of you... wish I was one of you! Just wanted to pick the brains of those entering to see if 'attract-o-gel' gameplay could be an unfair advantage. That's all really. Party on. I'm looking forward to the next announcement.2012-01-25 06:35:00

A section has already been added with zero issues... just finishing up the boss now (and slight asthetic details) and we're good to go. Good to push the boundaries eh?

anyway... I'm in shock at what Tj and Evret have done with the boss fight... I wouldn't have believed what they have built would have been possible... should be out soon and you can all see too.

Just coming for formally announce Chrono Chrysalis isnt being entered into LBPC6. The team and I came to a unanimous decision to drop out of the contest and produce a better game. Its not that we cant make it, but we see the opportunity only comes around once to produce an RPG on the scale we are intending. And the game conflicts with the heavy restrictions on this contest and trying to kill two birds with one stone may have seemed like a good idea at the time, but this game is aiming higher than a crown or bragging rights, and ultimately will mess up our project in the long run.

With that said, I did have fun making a mad dash to the finish line. I seen growth within my team, especially xtremesackboy. Over these past two months he has grown into a humbled, talented artist--even using 3D glitches now and I am really proud of him.

To all the other entrants, good luck with the contest. Hopefully you guys used the time fully; I know we did. And I learned a heck of a lot about development and directing--probably more than I did in school, and when a contest does that, then its doing something right.

Cheers,

^Yoho~ seems i was not the only one who dropped out in order to give his levels the love they need.
but that does worry me how many people will enter this in the end. i'm not seeing very many whatsoever... *mew		2012-01-28 21:47:00

For a crown contest, the number of entries are dwindling alarmingly. Just means better chances for everyone else that enters though.2012-01-28 21:52:00

^ I dono... while it may mean better chances for the ones left to win.... i think the fun in a contest is testing your skills against everyone else. it's the competition that's fun. not the prizes or winning or losing IMHO. it's taking part in the big fun LBP community events that's really fun & is the main point IMO. *mew		2012-01-28 22:07:00

well lbp.me showed 40 levels with the tag lbpc6... if we assume that all teams have published (including locks) that's still 10 teams... with 4 levels each so it's still gonna be an epic contest.

Anyway in the spirit of the task... The fun is in the journey		2012-01-28 22:12:00

Guys, I'm really happy to see this kind of spirit.
What Dav1d, fume and RPG said made me proud and fuzzy inside.
Because the main purpose of LBPC6 was just that.
Many enter the contests for the prize, but we want to send another kind of message.
Sooo...THANKS SO MUCH!		2012-01-28 22:25:00

(we do present the competing levels too, but isn't lbp.me links, like, a lot more amazing?)
Besides, Omegaslayer, on the question "are you the bossy kind of person", answering "no" was wrong.
For everyone who isn't going to enter and never have tried to: making a 4-part story is a lot of work, especially when you're just two in the team (and only one of them does 66% of the work. Still, I can't blame mr_goodenough for not being able to take the pressure a contest put on you). Therefore, I assume that everyone reading this plays not only our levels, but every entering level (and rates them good. And hearts them. And nominates them all to the sackies award 2011).		2012-01-29 13:52:00

Thanks, guys. We do appreciate the effort that everyone entering has put into their levels. Four levels is indeed a big ask and anyone who gave it a shot should be really proud of what they've achieved. I hope you do all get the plays and ratings you deserve!2012-01-29 14:21:00

I think the difficulty of the task, number of entries, quality of levels, excitement that accompanies competition, territorial representation and general positivism of contestants gives me the right to say that this is the best competition so far in every way.
Congratulations to all competitors on the obvious hard work and to contest crew on a good idea and great implementation. Pity that there doesn't exist even more rewards for sharing.		2012-01-30 08:30:00

Well, this is awesome. I get most of the week off, perfect time to play through all these amazing levels.

Everyone deserves a prize for simply making an attempt to compete in this contest. This was, is, and probably will be the single most intense contests concocted by the LBPC contest team.

I don't think I'd ever be able to stay focused for this long. Congrats to everyone that did.		2012-01-30 08:39:00

Hey, we do really throw out some ideas, mix them, prepare a draft and a poster and play the levels.
The heroes are the creators, not us.

That's why I hope that everyone that didn't enter the contests go play the awesome work creators did and spread word.		2012-01-30 08:49:00

Well i have played one of the entries and can't wait to play the rest. This was the sort of contest i would have loved to enter and i wouldn't have had any issues finding the right team as those i create with all work well together and are the most adaptable people i know in LBP. However i did not have anywhere near enough time to accomplish a four part level series due to holidays and then a busy work schedule.

And also i must say how sorry i am for those that could not enter or finish their entries in time due to problems within their teams or just life and the holidays getting in the way. Hopefully any levels published but not entered will get the plays they deserve as well.

Hopefully there will be more multiple creator contests to come but maybe with less gruelling guidelines to achieve.		2012-01-31 10:36:00

Yeah, more multiplayer contests would be a good idea (perhaps not 4-part stories though). Though I love creating platformers, I,m still a lot better in doing music. So, if anyone wants extraordinary music for the next multiplayer contest (if any), you know where you can find me!2012-01-31 11:13:00

, who says we're not?

I too would like to see some more group contests. What they could be.... I'm sure you all can think of something. Every contest so far has been quite spectacular. TBH, I'd like to see something like a boss battle contest. That could be very exciting.

Any idea when the next contest will be announced? 2 weeks delay has been enough suspense! 		2012-01-31 13:36:00

I bet it has something to do with zombies. make the best zombie survival level, only this time add real waterz! Ha, well I'm going to make mine zombie sharks with fricken laser beams on their heads. But instead of a regular survival level, you will have to platform around an area. The premise will be that you're a group of kids living in this town and the mean rich guy has bought up all the land and is bulldozing the houses for to make a golf course. You find a treasure map in your attic and you and your friends set out on an adventure. The map will lead you to this old restaurant and you go in and find yourself in the basement. The owners come in and you discover that they are bad people, murderers even, so you escape down the fireplace drain. You go through all these old tunnels and stuff and avoid booby traps and have to puzzle your way through to the underground cave that houses a big Pirate Ship. You find a bunch of treasure on the ship, battle the bad guys and end up saving the town because you got to keep some treasure. It's going to be epic....with real water. Just please don't tell anyone, I want this to be a surprise.2012-01-31 16:26:00

So where are the mine zombie sharks with fricken laser beams on their heads in that story ? Can we destroy the town at the end of platforming, when we finally find the treasure ?		2012-01-31 16:47:00

Don't forget about the epic boss fight where you convince him to join you in defeating the bad people. Those goons had it coming. Perhaps a giant octopus mini-boss to go with the real waterz.

Oh, and ice cream, can't forget about that.

Well it says in the Rules that only the first level has to be unlocked, so you'll be OK leaving them as they are. If you want to unlock them all, then you have permission to do so.



?The first level of the four must be published unlocked (the succeeding levels may be locked to ensure they are played in the correct order).		2012-02-01 06:27:00
