Challenge Levels for Covetable Stickers - an LBPC-wide project

Archive: 6 posts


Problem: Many levels have far too many prizes in the form of shapes, traps, enemies, etc. But for the most part, they're not things I can really use in my levels.

Solution: Items that Creators will covet. Stickers with interesting patterns (that could be used as textures). Stickers with letters or numbers in various styles. Playstation Eye captures of real world textures and objects. We'll call them LittleBigPlanetCentral CovetableStickers! LBPCCS, just because acronyms are great.

LBPC Synergy: There are several ideas here, but the gist of it is this -- if each of us took on making a great sticker or two, we'd have a terrific library of useful stickers. The kind of stickers other Creators will die to have (or at least they'll sacrifice a few sackboys to get them. But we'd want to get the forum some fanfare, and give the other Creators a way to find our stickers. What do we need? I see it like this ...

1) Advertising. There is already a great LBPC sticker out there. Let's use it!
2) Placement. Some of us have highly rated levels. Though quite an imposition on you, it would be interesting to have you add a sticker sensor for the LBPC sticker that gives away a key to a challenge level. (Can we pass keys back and forth for our levels like this?)
3) The "work for it" factor. Some of us could create challenge levels where it is very obvious that the goal is to get the sticker in question. Perhaps they'll be 2x 3x or 4x player challenges. And at the end is the sticker and another key or two. And of course, the LBPC logo and pointers to the website.
4) More advertising. The stickers would all have to have the LBPC website address in their description.

mr_creeps has a great start with some numbers:

These are exactly the kind of prizes I'd be wanting! Actually, I've been considering making some Art-Deco inspired letters, but have no idea how to go about it =) I already have a few so-so captures from the PS Eye to share.

What do you think?

I agree, stickers are very useful. I would like 3-4 different fonts etc.2009-01-22 09:41:00

yea more font would deffinately be useful, and a more full color pallet... not to mention basic shapes!

btw I know it would be pretty easy to make, but is there a basic strait black line in the game??? closest Ive got in my popit is a dotted line. I can drop about 2 of those and usually have a decent strait black line, but if theres is where cani find it, and if not then wtf?

Good ideas, I'm always on the lookout for good 'normal' sticker content. I've created several prize-bubble 'GoldenEye'-style graphic signage and security passcard stickers for one level (Bunkerdown) and some UK police car stickers for another (SMMS 2) if anyone wants to use them.

For an ongoing level project, I've almost got creation of tileable (ie edge-joining or seamless repeat) textures from material parts sorted. I'll post it as a sub-level once its done - guaranteeing the ideal camera pic size is the hardest part!
