LBPC #8 - Aquatic Acceleration
Archive: 418 posts
| Aloha Sacks and Libits! Do you remember us? We're your kind and friendly neighbourhood Contest Crew, right back from Hawaii Island after a vacation to give space to the other friendly forums. The vastness of the Ocean gave us a wonderful idea for our next contest! Are you ready to dive into it? http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/9959/lbpc8.jpg O_O An underwater level...? Is that even a contest? YAY!!! You know we like sick twists. What we want this time is something that we haven't seen yet. Unrelentingly FAST underwater action. A completely underwater level with a fast, really fast, insanely fast pace. Fast like...nothing we've seen yet on LBP. Fast like...some "early" winner of LBPC Let our sackboy swim soooo fast through it. Plunge us into watery depths for an amazing experience! Building requirements RULE CHANGE: You will be allowed to use a non-seat, nearest player controllinator in your level if you so choose. For example: While swimming with your sackboy, maybe you have it set so that L1 (or any button you wish) operates some sort of contraption that propels you, or pushes, pulls, drags, dropkicks, headbutts, spins or shoots you through a portion of your level. • Create a level experience of your choice, with intense fast gameplay, completely underwater • You can OPTIONALLY use a scuba-diver power-up  • The level must include gameplay so no movie levels, please! It can contain quick cutscenes that don't slow down the overall pace. • The overall length must be between 4 and 7 minutes, we want our reflexes to be put to the test but not sore hands  How to enter • Build a level before the deadline that fits the contest description and building requirements. • Include the text “(LBPC8)” in the title of the level. Don’t forget to add things like a nice looking badge, some tags, and a concise level description. • Publish your levels before 11:59PM GMT on 17th June 2012. • Post LBP.me links to your levels in this thread, so we’re sure not to miss them! • After the deadline, the judges will grab their flippers and select the best levels based on the scoring criteria below. The creator of the best level will be pinned/crowned a winner! Judging criteria Levels will be judged according to the following criteria: • Gameplay – Here, we’re scoring things like fun factor, balanced difficulty and freedom from glitches and bugs. • Originality – How innovative is your creation? How well did you take the source material to create something unique yet still have it be recognizable? • Visuals – This is all about how good your level looks. We like detail and lighting and special effects, but try to avoid graphics-induced lag! • Audio – Sound effects and music are a great way to turn your level into an addictive and immersive experience. Rules and Regulations • This contest is open to all ages and all regions. That means anyone can participate! • All entries must be playable in LittleBigPlanet 2 • You can only enter one level. Duplicate entries will result in disqualification. • The contest officially begins on 7th May 2012 at 12:00am GMT. Previously published entries will not be accepted. • Levels must be published before the deadline with “(LBPC8)” in their title. After the deadline, do not republish. Levels republished after the deadline will be disqualified. Exceptions may be made for quick fixes with respect to level titles, description, badges, or major game-breaking fixes, but only with the prior consent of the contest crew. If you need to request an edit, please post in this thread and send me a PM. • Levels must be your own creation. Feel free to take inspiration from the world around you and from other levels, but don’t copy someone else’s work outright! That’s just not cool…. • Last but not least, have fun, play fair and respect other creators! Also a little Handy FAQ for you all Q: Can I enter a previously published level? A: No. Q: Can I enter a level I already have on my moon, but hasn't yet been published? A: Yes. Q: Once I've published my entry, can I republish it? A: You can republish it as many times before the deadline as you like, but not after the deadline. Q: When will the judging begin? A: The judges may take a look at some levels prior to the deadline, but the judging proper will not begin until after the deadline. Q: When will the results be posted? A: We can't really give any accurate answer to this, but it will be no more than a month after the judging begins. Good luck everyone! | 2012-05-06 22:59:00 Author: biorogue  Posts: 8424 |

| So looking at the building requirements...we don't have to use sackboy or be swimming at all, as long as its underwater..am I right? Contest sounds interesting already! | 2012-05-06 23:22:00 Author: L1GhTmArE  Posts: 519 |
| So looking at the building requirements...we don't have to use sackboy or be swimming at all, as long as its underwater..am I right? Contest sounds interesting already! but how would..? Oh..now I see. Yes, MUST play AS sackboy. No invisible controllinators controlling a ball, or block or some other sophistimicated thingamabobber. | 2012-05-06 23:36:00 Author: biorogue Posts: 8424 |
| Great! Finally something interessing contest. Will join this one for sure | 2012-05-06 23:40:00 Author: Nazar_Ops Posts: 175 |

| This is probably one of the toughest criteria for a challenge I have ever seen.... Count me in. | 2012-05-07 00:31:00 Author: DreJ1212  Posts: 240 |
| The creator of the best level will be pinned/crowned winners! You guys and gals mights want to address this now. You've used a singular and plural term again and looking at the last few threads it always leads to a barrage of "group creation" questions. saying that, I'd assume you only have a single prize right? Also... I have a cunning plan | 2012-05-07 00:36:00 Author: ForgottenEnigma  Posts: 1414 |

| Underwater + speed = WTH who conjured up this madness of an idea? Wow cant wait to see what people make. | 2012-05-07 00:46:00 Author: L-I-M-I  Posts: 611 |

| Hmm Underwater and Speedy? why am i reminded of the water zones from Sonic the hedgehog? oh that's right because i'm a crazy Sonic fan and Sonic is always the first thing to pop in to my mind. Hmm... i may try to enter this if i can think of a cool and easy idea for a level... as i'm already busy on 4 other levels and don't wanna lose focus on them. so only maybe. :0 *mew Now if you excuse me I gotta go talk to my friend Dr. Eggman Robotnik for a level idea. | 2012-05-07 01:14:00 Author: Lord-Dreamerz  Posts: 4261 |

Its a shame we cant use sackbots for this level.

| Its a shame we cant use sackbots for this level. I already have a Sonic style sackbot with underwater platforming that would have been perfect if that were the case. well sackbots can't really swim anyways? i'll most likely just gonna make another Dareti level. AKA my own series i work on. but hey you can always add sackbots in the level as NPC and other stuff. no real need to control a sackbot for this theme IMO. *mew • The level may contain a level link, but the overall length must be between 4 and 7 minutes, we want our reflexes to be put to the test but not sore hands • You can only enter one level.

| Can you post the level on another account and still enter? I'm running out of space on my planet, but I have another account that I publish on too. Can I use that account for my entry? | 2012-05-07 03:56:00 Author: calyst_aayla  Posts: 217 |
| A fast paced, underwater level?! *mind offically blown* I'm agreeing with everyone from before. This is going to be very...interesting! I would like to see what people come up with. If it's one thing LBPC group is good at, its coming up with crazy ideas whilst on holiday RIght, so, Is there someway to fake that you're underwater? or do you have to be completely submerged in water? Good luck everybody... | 2012-05-07 04:06:00 Author: dermZ96  Posts: 86 |
| I think it is a good theme. Although I do not know to participate | 2012-05-07 06:04:00 Author: SnakeOwl Posts: 47 |
| So you can't be like in a submarine in the level or something? It has to be strictly just your sackboy with an optional scuba power up? | 2012-05-07 06:31:00 Author: Unknown User |
| not sure i'll be entering this one not up too my skills making too many levels at the moment so too busy! AHH!! | 2012-05-07 08:18:00 Author: Unknown User |

Gah! The Contest Crew finally release LBPC8 and I need to be revising for my GCSEs. Why is the world so cruel?  | 2012-05-07 13:40:00 Author: PGdafrog  Posts: 277 |
| Can you post the level on another account and still enter? I'm running out of space on my planet, but I have another account that I publish on too. Can I use that account for my entry? I don't see a problem with that, as long as we know who you are. RIght, so, Is there someway to fake that you're underwater? or do you have to be completely submerged in water? Good luck everybody... Completely submerged. No blue glass in front of the level to give the "appearance" of being under water. We want our clothes dripping wet. So you can't be like in a submarine in the level or something? It has to be strictly just your sackboy with an optional scuba power up? Bingo! Yes, you are correct sir. | 2012-05-07 13:44:00 Author: biorogue Posts: 8424 |

| Fast pace game play :/ I thought it would be a race,And its under water.I know what i could make.But I'm not sure if it will be fast paced lol. Can it start out on land and then end up in water and at the end,Be back on land ? | 2012-05-07 17:38:00 Author: Lbphart3  Posts: 813 |
Ohhh, I'm so entering this. I always wanted to do a watery level. Yay  | 2012-05-07 18:09:00 Author: P-I-M-P-I  Posts: 45 |
| I will enter this, if i can finish my new level within a week or so...and hopefully my head doesn't explode with "Make things go fast underwater" logic! I just know that this will give me nightmares. | 2012-05-07 18:46:00 Author: RtooDee2  Posts: 175 |
| Can it start out on land and then end up in water and at the end,Be back on land ? Sorry, but it has to be completely underwater so no land at all even at the start and end. | 2012-05-07 18:52:00 Author: shropshirelass  Posts: 1455 |

| I might actually enter this.

I know, but I'm the play-to-win kind of person. I easily give up when chances are against me though. >_> Anywaiz, I'll do my best to give the Contest Crew some fast-paced underwatery goodness, Nys-style! (Now temporary on ps3.)

| count me in also can you be a contraption or does it have to be your sack boy/girl? | 2012-05-07 22:19:00 Author: burton18000  Posts: 25 |
| nope, YOU cannot be a contraption. You have to be yourself, sackboy. | 2012-05-07 22:40:00 Author: biorogue Posts: 8424 |

| Sackboy's speed no longer hindered by water 0.0 I cannot wait to see what everyone comes up with and perhaps... if I'm feeling up to it I'll give it a shot ^.^ Another great one Contest Crew and good luck to everyone entering! | 2012-05-07 23:35:00 Author: stryder12  Posts: 66 |
| nope, YOU cannot be a contraption. You have to be yourself, sackboy. Thats fine i already started with my friend xslevenx. We didnt use contraptions just in case this would happen. I think you all will love my entry when it is complete | 2012-05-08 00:15:00 Author: burton18000 Posts: 25 |

| Count me in! One question, though. Can you be in the air for a few seconds and then go back into water? And can there be a cut scene at the beginning of the level? (wasn't that two questions? (<- make that 3 questions)) | 2012-05-08 05:24:00 Author: Unknown User |
| Count me in! One question, though. Can you be in the air for a few seconds and then go back into water? And can there be a cut scene at the beginning of the level? (wasn't that two questions? (<- make that 3 questions)) Hmm, most interesting. Breaching the surface of the water and then plunging back in? I'll bring this to the table for discussion.

| You guys are gonna have to have the reactions of a ninja cat lol. Poor sackboy is gettin propelled every where . Are we allowed to publish as soon as we've finished? Why wouldn't you be able to?

| dang bruce, I know you create fast bud but c'mon. It's up to you man. whenever you finish your entry, you're more than welcome to post it in this thread. Myself? I would wait to more towards the end. Just me though. Would hate to show my hand, only to be holding a pair while the other guy has a full house. One question, though. Can you be in the air for a few seconds and then go back into water? We think that this is a cool idea and will allow sackboy to breach the surface of the water MOMENTARILY. Not coming out of the water and landing on a platform or surface of any kind. Bouncing, flying, or thrust from the water for a couple of seconds then plunging back into the depths is perfectly acceptable to us. | 2012-05-08 15:09:00 Author: biorogue Posts: 8424 |
| Yeah you're right m8 I'll hold onto it for a while, I'm about 40% in (I'm not that fast lol). Not worked with water for ages, it's a good learning experience and a deceivingly difficult brief to boot!

| Would it be detrimental to our level if we first open up with a short cutscene before the speedy gameplay actually starts? | 2012-05-08 22:47:00 Author: Night Angel Posts: 1214 |

| hiyo, this is a great contest idea. water has been lacking in the lbp community.Now if only i can think of a way to move the sackboy fast..but how fast are we talking? hmmmmm i wish i could enter and finish one in time. i dont have the speed of brucelightning. haha goodluck to everyone. | 2012-05-09 01:03:00 Author: pj15 Posts: 164 |
| Creating this level seemed much easier in my head... There are some pretty easy ways to get through water fast, but the only hard part is coming up with creative ways to do so. It's like reverting back to old LBP1 tricks and advancing on those old tricks in creative ways. Hopefully I can come up with something soon, though... | 2012-05-09 02:13:00 Author: Night Angel Posts: 1214 |
| I started farting around with ideas but I don't know if I'll for sure enter this or not. Probably not. I dunno. I haven't found any ways of making gameplay fast paced without constantly grabbing stuff or using bouncepads. Although I have found that setting the gravity higher (to 400%) makes you float upwards quite a bit faster. I dunno. I also just generally dislike creating with water. It's soo ugly! I always abandon levels if I can't make anything half-pretty out of 'em. | 2012-05-09 02:44:00 Author: KlawwTheClown  Posts: 1106 |
| I haven't found any ways of making gameplay fast paced without constantly grabbing stuff or using bouncepads. That's exactly how I'm thinking. I mean, I guess you could get knocked around by stuff,too, but I still don't see a way to make it really original. It's almost like the level has to "play itself" to retain the sense of speed. From doing so, there's not a really good sense of gameplay. | 2012-05-09 03:09:00 Author: Night Angel Posts: 1214 |

Although I have found that setting the gravity higher (to 400%) makes you float upwards quite a bit faster. I dunno. I also just generally dislike creating with water. It's soo ugly! I always abandon levels if I can't make anything half-pretty out of 'em. That's exactly how I'm thinking. I mean, I guess you could get knocked around by stuff,too, but I still don't see a way to make it really original. It's almost like the level has to "play itself" to retain the sense of speed. From doing so, there's not a really good sense of gameplay. aww come on guys. I have faith in you. You can do it! | 2012-05-09 04:59:00 Author: biorogue Posts: 8424 |

Thanks for answering my questions! I'm having to rethink my gameplay a bit as Attract-o-gel doesn't work under water  | 2012-05-09 06:59:00 Author: Unknown User |
| I actually had a few cool ideas for a visual style last night. One that would actually look nice, if I do it well enough. That should motivate me a bit. I just gotta delete my old beginning because... It was horrid. I also have a rough idea for what I wanna do for gameplay, but I'm still not sure if I'll enter this contest. I create slowly and I tend to never finish levels. Plus I already have a crown, so I'd only be competing for the pin. (It is a nice looking pin though...) | 2012-05-09 13:06:00 Author: KlawwTheClown Posts: 1106 |

| I have a question. Can you make it like this for example: in certain place there will be like switching over to fill up the water. But it will stay for few seconds, then the water is removed. Then after some seconds it appear again. And so on and so on.. Is that allowed? Sry for my english. I hope you get my idea. | 2012-05-09 15:07:00 Author: Nazar_Ops Posts: 175 |

| I think I may have found an idea to make sackboy move faster without the assistance of external factors. Hopefully, if I can get some logic help, this will make it so everything is not so repetitive | 2012-05-09 15:32:00 Author: Night Angel Posts: 1214 |

| Does it have to be REALLY fast paced? That's impossible, unless if you are doing like "A level that plays itself" underwater. I try to make it fast as i can. So i hope its not super fast. | 2012-05-10 14:16:00 Author: Nazar_Ops Posts: 175 |
| Can we use controlinators for teleporters I.e no visible controlinators or actions while inside. (typed on a laggy Vita) "RULE CHANGE: You will be allowed to use a non-seat, nearest player controllinator in your level if you so choose. For example: While swimming with your sackboy, maybe you have it set so that L1 (or any button you wish) operates some sort of contraption that propels you, or pushes, pulls, drags, dropkicks, headbutts, spins or shoots you through a portion of your level." so by way of the rules... no... but I'm not on the contest crew so they have the final say, trust me, if I had insider access to the crew's inner workings you'd have a 100% answer... but they're friendly people... so stayed tuned, I'm sure they'll get back to you soon. I have 2 questions : 1st , Can we put a level link? because my first part overheated really fast, and I would like to continue on a,other level. And last question, what do you mean by " Fast level " ? It's confusing. 1. Rules say one level only, so you'll need to emit when needed or use the various thermo cutting methods. 2. They mean sackboy/girl has to move through the level quickly. Does it have to be REALLY fast paced? That's impossible, unless if you are doing like "A level that plays itself" underwater. I try to make it fast as i can. So i hope its not super fast. Look at the rule change I reposted above... think about making sackboy/girl grab onto a fish or something and then control that... although theres a million ways to move quickly... piston powered blocks, bounce pads etc Think back to good ol' lbp game play devices. | 2012-05-10 14:56:00 Author: ForgottenEnigma Posts: 1414 |
| I think 4 mins is gonna be a stretch tbh guys. My level takes up roughly half the create space and is quite a bit over half thermo and without any deaths takes about 1 minute to get through! | 2012-05-10 16:50:00 Author: brucethejam Posts: 105 |

| Fast gameplay underwater? Water levels are mostly known for nothing other than being slow and boring. Momentum is key to a fast enjoyable level, but being in water all that momentum is sucked up straight away, bouncepads don't even work great in water either, they're too inconsistent. Sackboy is just too slow. Sure you can pick up some great speed grabbing heavy materials moving at a fast speed (Lighter ones will just have too much drag) but after sackboy lets go, he will slow down completely in 1 second. You'd basically have to cut out the ability for sackboy to swim completely just to have a fast level which is just plain silly, still totally possible but silly. | 2012-05-10 17:24:00 Author: PPp_Killer  Posts: 449 |
| yea ill try this but idk i always said that the water pack is slow paced always its a cool thing to swim and then the muppets did that atratogel i always wanted a speed up thing can esasily be done with sackbots but lets see what i can think up sackbots under water is fail so thats out | 2012-05-10 20:10:00 Author: Unknown User |

You'd basically have to cut out the ability for sackboy to swim completely just to have a fast level which is just plain silly, still totally possible but silly. I completely agree with you. I just tested a bouncepad underwater... It stinks. It's set to 4, and even though I got launched a tiny bit farther because of less gravity affect, it still slowed down right away. I tried a spinning wheel set to about 300 Speed, I let go and went a fraction of the distance I would have if I was above water. I just don't think we will be able to make a fast level underwater that works AND is fun AND is fast. Not only these reasons but sackboy floats. When you try and make a fast paced level, you need sackboy to fly around. If sackboy is trying to fly around under water, he slows down in less than a second, then floats up! This is going to be really tough. I don't think you are going to get the outcome you wanted, LBPC Crew. People are going to start giving up because it will be really tough to pull off. I, myself, am sitting out this one. I will help my friends who are trying though. Good luck to everyone entering! | 2012-05-10 20:20:00 Author: Wolffy123  Posts: 406 |

| Cheer up guys... the prize is a crown... surely a harder contest will make that prize seem more earned? The whole point of these contests is to be original... so how about something like a rocket powered - follower guided - water jetpack? Aqua rocket cheetah? Think of it as a puzzle... all you need is the right solution to get sackboy/girl from A to B. | 2012-05-10 21:07:00 Author: ForgottenEnigma Posts: 1414 |
| Having great fun making it. But it is kinda hard to think for original fast-gameplay ideas tbh, and more harder if it is underwater lol, but hey, I love challenges! :hero: | 2012-05-10 21:28:00 Author: P-I-M-P-I Posts: 45 |
| Cunning plan #1 by Dave Step 1 Observe the rule: Create a level experience of your choice, with intense fast gameplay, completely underwater Step 2 Realise that "completely underwater" suggests that sackboy should be under the water rather than in it. Step 3 Lift up the ocean http://ie.lbp.me/img/ft/95ed8a55a8f9eb3eec4384a32c4222c9fc7dcf80.png Step 4 Walk along the ocean floor. Step 5 Continue to build a level built around acceleration... celebrate that there's no water to slow you down while following the "completely underwater" rule. (Warning: Cunning plan #1 may bend several rules that will lead to disqualification... but then again... it is an original solution so it may not but... most likely will. UPDATE: this will now get you disqualified) The purpose of this post is to really just prove how open these contests are... just be creative and you'll end up in a good position. | 2012-05-11 00:26:00 Author: ForgottenEnigma Posts: 1414 |

| Lol he's turned the cam so its upside down, nice one m8 Seriously though, can the crew drop the 4 minute mark and just leave the 7 min one. If there was no water 4 minutes would be kinda achievable, bear in mind rikiriki's kalieda level takes bout 3.45 to navigate. Water drag is the main issue. It affects trajectory in a very random manner especially when leaving an object for the next one. Basically everything has to move a lot faster and jumpads have to be set quite high to counteract the drag. You wanted fast and to be a test of reflexes too, my level is but it will never reach 4 minutes tbh! | 2012-05-11 09:37:00 Author: brucethejam Posts: 105 |
| *Punches wall* That's how frustarting this is and If it wasn't for that beautifal,BEAUTIFAL crown, I wouldn't be bothering with but I guess I will push on through and then maybe all my hard work will pay off *please to god pay off* | 2012-05-11 15:47:00 Author: butter-kicker Posts: 1061 |

| No one from the contest crew has aswered my question yet, so I thought it went un-noticed. Are we allowed to use contollintors for teleporters, just to get you from one version of an obstacles to a more blown up one | 2012-05-12 02:16:00 Author: Unknown User |

| No one from the contest crew has aswered my question yet, so I thought it went un-noticed. Are we allowed to use contollintors for teleporters, just to get you from one version of an obstacles to a more blown up one why can't you use the other way? wire up a checkpoint, kill sackboy. this can be effective, And I apologize for the oversight, I completely missed that question. I will bring it up to the rest of the crew for further discussion though as it's just for teleportation purposes. | 2012-05-12 02:34:00 Author: biorogue Posts: 8424 |

| I would use the old way except I need the players sackperson to be teleported quickly and I wanted to make my level one life only as fo not break the flow. | 2012-05-12 02:48:00 Author: Unknown User |
| You could approach the problem from the other direction: leave Sackboy where he is and teleport the level on top of him! Delete the first half and emit the second while the player floats unaware in the middle of it all. | 2012-05-12 04:21:00 Author: Uncuddly  Posts: 237 |
| Hmm, good idea. Ill do that if Im denied use of a teleporter. A teleporter is just easier | 2012-05-12 06:05:00 Author: Unknown User |

| Nein. | 2012-05-12 11:56:00 Author: Rogar Posts: 2284 |
| Controllinators will not be allowed except for the reason already stated. Sorry guys. we decided not to deviate from this one. RULE CHANGE: You will be allowed to use a non-seat, nearest player controllinator in your level if you so choose. For example: While swimming with your sackboy, maybe you have it set so that L1 (or any button you wish) operates some sort of contraption that propels you, or pushes, pulls, drags, dropkicks, headbutts, spins or shoots you through a portion of your level. | 2012-05-12 14:58:00 Author: biorogue Posts: 8424 |

Are we allowed to use contollintors for teleporters, just to get you from one version of an obstacles to a more blown up one In all fairness, the contest crew are very busy people and sometimes are simply slower to reply. I did give you the same answer (pg 7) and although I'm not an official crew member... my answer is not any less valid... nobody here wants to see you disqualified so we're only going to try our best. Also... work on cunning plan #2 has begun... but since I'm gonna use this one y'all will just have to wait and see. However one thing I did notice... no judge was against the original plan of lifting up the ocean? =p UPDATE: Biorogue says we can't defy reality by lifting up the ocean and other such bodies of water =p Probably for the best too XD. | 2012-05-12 16:29:00 Author: ForgottenEnigma Posts: 1414 |

| Is plan #2 to have water emit and fall onto sackboy and have it follow? lol Maybe... *giggles* ---------------------------------- Cunning plan #3 By Dave Step 1 Make sackboy/girl wear the fishbowl helmet; from their perspective they are completely underwater. Step 2 Accelerate by walking forward. Step 3 Repeat step 2 for 4 - 7 minutes. (Warning: cunning plan #3 will lead to disqualification) | 2012-05-12 17:10:00 Author: ForgottenEnigma Posts: 1414 |

| I have entered different enough contests in my life to say this. while it's ok maybe even good at times to think outside the box. just make sure you don't leave the box behind altogether. if you know what a contest wants you to do. in this case they clearly want you to make a level with your sackperson in the water from the global water setting. then that means you should stick to that rule and not try to find a exploit in the words like under water. you know what they really mean. and from what i've seen in life. contests don't like people trying to use exploits. anyways i'm sure no one was being serious here and just joking around. but i am just saying this to make sure anyways. *mew | 2012-05-12 17:35:00 Author: Lord-Dreamerz Posts: 4261 |
| Yeah it was just joking around... don't worry though... had it covered with little disqualification warnings under the plans XD For anyone following the thread who is going to enter... ignore any post with "Cunning plan #, by Dave" at the top of it. They were simply an attempt to spark creativity and raise morale (due to difficulty of challenge). If followed they will get you disqualified so please don't, instead follow the rules on pg1 as best you can... if worried, post a question and the contest crew... or the community will try to help you with a serious answer. | 2012-05-12 17:37:00 Author: ForgottenEnigma Posts: 1414 |
| After seeing this contest thread, I decided to find some ways to make a sackboy go hi-speed underwater and I actually found some very interesting solutions. Just for that, I actually want to enter this contest, so now I'm working on a new level that's for LBPC8. The other reason is that I haven't been entering a LBP2 contest since the LittleBigPrius one. I like to see how this contest goes when people like me come up with these underwater craziness. | 2012-05-12 19:07:00 Author: JustinArt  Posts: 1314 |

| i just hd an insane idea im so in this one if it works sackboy should be at the same speed as he is when he is not in water but i also had this idea where i was wondering to ask lets say i dont want to use the air mask thing or the bubble circle things sorry i dont know the names of the pack things haha anyways sackboy and the leve is under water but just a lets say like when your in a cave and there is a tiny hole to stick your head out to breath that way sack oy would have to go up to get some air before he continues i know it will slow it down a bit but was just wondering if its allowed | 2012-05-12 23:03:00 Author: Unknown User |
| I think that would be allowed. Just a little spot to catch your breath. In most of the "fast paced" platformers, there is usually a spot or two where you just kind of rest for a second, catch your breath so to speak. | 2012-05-12 23:48:00 Author: biorogue Posts: 8424 |
| The contest crew continues to amaze me with the challenging yet interesting themes. Nice job again guys! This one isn't for me, as I'm kind of caught in a MASSIVE project.

| I'm having a blast creating my level, but perfection can only be achieved with Jetpacks, underwater. :3 Thanks for making this contest actually, it pushed me to create with water (something I would almost never do.) and find more interesting gameplay ideas. I love this! | 2012-05-14 19:14:00 Author: nysudyrgh Posts: 5482 |
| The weird thing is, they could of easily allowed for underwater jetpack use... after all it basically is just some thusters... all they would have had to do was replace the fire with bubbles XD but that doesn't stop you building your own aqua-pack ^^ | 2012-05-14 19:18:00 Author: ForgottenEnigma Posts: 1414 |
| I'll enter this when I have time. Which would be friday. Then I shall crush the competition! muahahahha.

| Yoho~ what's with everybody and secrets here? i'll tell what i'm planning. gonna try to make a Auto scrolling level. i have some fairly good know how when it comes to making them. but i'm gonna try something a bit more special this time and mix it up with some normal exploring platforming gameplay areas too if i can. *mew | 2012-05-15 20:11:00 Author: Lord-Dreamerz Posts: 4261 |

| ^ Well i had a feeling i was not the only one with a Auto scrolling level idea. so i said what i was planing to see how many others were planing it too just for fun. anyways it not enough to be just a Auto scrolling level. there is lots of things you can do with that level type. and it all depends on what else is in the level and how it's all done and put together well. :3 but yes, may the best Auto scrolling level ETC win <3 *mew | 2012-05-15 21:45:00 Author: Lord-Dreamerz Posts: 4261 |

What about vertical movement with auto scrolling, just wondering?  | 2012-05-16 06:25:00 Author: OmegaSlayer Posts: 5112 |
| What about vertical movement with auto scrolling, just wondering? ? is that not what auto scrolling is suppose to be? the level itself is moving. the character overall is not. | 2012-05-16 08:18:00 Author: Lord-Dreamerz Posts: 4261 |
| If you scroll from right to left, the speed from left to right increases. How do you solve vertical speed while level is scrolling from a side to another or horizontal speed if levels scrolls from top to bottom or viceversa?

| Oh right, I missed the point. Shame on me I have yet to learn how to read the rules. Sorry I was actually replying to ROYALXIII's post. After looking at the level it is clear they haven't followed the rules. What part of completely under water doesn't anyone understand?

| O_O but you didn't even played it yet... In all fairness... looking at the photos the creator uploaded he doesn't have to. The pictures show clearly out of water gameplay and we were told at no point should you be out of water. http://if.lbp.me/img/fl/d3f3352375c68b2b893a4150ab42bbd80613b6ce.jpg Although it does look pretty XD I reckon with some tweaks it could be a successful entry, so the creator shouldn't be discouraged from entering, there is still time and I believe they can do it. | 2012-05-16 12:25:00 Author: ForgottenEnigma Posts: 1414 |

| I know Omega but we were told not to this time round; earlier in the thread. The only exception given was for brief pockets of air (and even then you have to remain in the water). The only reason I'm getting involved in this is to make sure the creator doesn't get disqualified as I don't think that anyone who puts effort in should meet that fate and looking at the photos the effort is there but so is a fatal flaw. Hopefully you get my point. | 2012-05-16 12:34:00 Author: ForgottenEnigma Posts: 1414 |
LOL! then how about diagonal auto scrolling lvl (OFC underwater=o)or maybe take a look at the minigame in POTC pack there could be a shinny sliver trophy in it for u=p | 2012-05-16 15:57:00 Author: tjaldex225 Posts: 69 |
| Just finished my level and its coming in at, without deaths, 1 min 35 seconds. Will that be ok timewise? I've noticed too that water creates a random drag and affects sackboy differently, sometimes slowing you down too fast. Only occurs occasionally though but it can hamper the experience. | 2012-05-16 16:10:00 Author: brucethejam Posts: 105 |
| Sorry guys, il be dropping off this contest :/ Doing some other stuff. | 2012-05-16 18:25:00 Author: Nazar_Ops Posts: 175 |
| Some of the speed weirdness has to do with the animation for using http://wiki.lbpcentral.com/images/2/21/X_button.png underwater. If Sackboy is moving through water slowly, http://wiki.lbpcentral.com/images/2/21/X_button.png will make him swim faster. If he is moving very quickly, http://wiki.lbpcentral.com/images/2/21/X_button.png will cause him to brake in a dramatic fashion. The animation initiated by http://wiki.lbpcentral.com/images/2/21/X_button.png continues for a second after it is released, however, so the end of the fast swim cycle can still kill his momentum even if you've released the button. It is an interesting puzzle for players trying to swim quickly. They want to push the button to go faster but need to stop pressing it well before they get launched by whatever launch-y thing the level uses. Release too soon and it takes longer to launch... release too late and the launch is cut in half! Devious. | 2012-05-16 18:39:00 Author: Uncuddly Posts: 237 |
| oh i do have a small question i forgot to ask in my auto scrolling post. just to make sure, would a fast underwater auto scrolling level be considered a fast pace underwater level according to the rules? it's the level itself that is being emitted and moving fast, not the sackperson themselves. from my point of view it should be fine since the rules just mostly said a speedy pace underwater level, don't think it said Sack had to be exactly moving fast itself. *mew | 2012-05-16 19:17:00 Author: Lord-Dreamerz Posts: 4261 |

| ye of little faith yeah it was by pm... immediately after I learned of your intentions actually XD also... I was told that somebody already asked... but if it wasn't you... that means we have even more competition. So its shaping up to be a good contest. | 2012-05-16 19:33:00 Author: ForgottenEnigma Posts: 1414 |
| that means we have even more competition. Its shaping up to be a good contest. that Don't surprise me. it's 1 good way to get rid of the sackpeople are slow in water problem. and like i already said. when i saw a lot of people saying they have a idea but it's secret. that gave me the idea most likely half of them people maybe also had the auto scroll idea. *mew | 2012-05-16 19:45:00 Author: Lord-Dreamerz Posts: 4261 |
| well here's the PM: since you're the only judge who's actually seen my latest post.... I assume a scrolling level is ok? because it's the only cunning plan I managed to come up with that seemed to follow the rules. Well, to be be absolutely honest, someone else has already asked us about this by PM and the answer was that it would be OK. Does sound like you're not going to be the only one doing it though, lol! You'll still be in a minority I suspect. Hope it helps and a big thanks to Lass for taking the time to answer it, hope the re-post isn't minded Lass (it's helping others after all but that minority probably just went out the window) =p I know posting this is contest suicide but I just feel community is more important than a pixel based prize XD The challenge now is making the scroller unique, but then again... I expect a non scroller level to do just as well... if not better. | 2012-05-16 19:47:00 Author: ForgottenEnigma Posts: 1414 |
| Well I'm gonna be trying to mix both level types in tbh. also just to say, mine i've done before are pretty unique... well of course not many people in general have seen my levels. most of my levels are a work in progress still on my moon with only a handful of my friends who have tested them *mew | 2012-05-16 20:01:00 Author: Lord-Dreamerz Posts: 4261 |

| Surely if you didn't check the copy option while publishing you're ok? Also... you should all do what game developers do... publish it under a pseudo name (eg. Project Aqua Vita) and then switch to the LBPC8 title a few days before the deadline... this will help protect your levels from potential cheaters. | 2012-05-16 22:22:00 Author: ForgottenEnigma Posts: 1414 |
| This guy ( http://lbp.me/u/FreddyFerrari ) played my locked level for the contest and now i am mad because i fear he will copy it It already happened in LBPC7. Contest Crew can't do anything about it. Maybe it's just out of curiosity, since there wasn't any kind of copied stuff in the final results.

| Heyo , i know im a couple topics behind behind but did someone say jetpacks work underwater? How? Cause if this is possible i would use for a quick boss battle for ending. Otherwise that dea will be trashed, cause all speed will be lost to stop to fight off a serious sea creature. Haa. Or unless you were chased i guess. | 2012-05-18 16:23:00 Author: pj15 Posts: 164 |
| no... it was said that they should work underwater... but due to the developers choice they don't it was also suggested (by me) to make your own aqua pack as this will demonstate a higher level of originality | 2012-05-18 16:32:00 Author: ForgottenEnigma Posts: 1414 |

| Question. It says the level should be 4-7 minutes long, so can you submit some sort of survival challenge? Those are technically an infinite to very low time so I'm a bit confused on rather these are allowed or not. | 2012-05-20 22:26:00 Author: DreJ1212 Posts: 240 |
| The rules say nothing against them ^^ but it would still need to hold 4 minutes of entertainment for the crew... so stopping it being too repetitive is the problem. | 2012-05-20 22:28:00 Author: ForgottenEnigma Posts: 1414 |
| To be honest when I'm making my level, making 4 mins. is hard because I have to think of new sections and make them work. This harder for me because the way I set it up! EDIT: [QUOTE]Question. It says the level should be 4-7 minutes long, so can you submit some sort of survival challenge? Those are technically an infinite to very low time so I'm a bit confused on rather these are allowed or not./QUOTE] I would say it wouldnt work because, if the player finds a way to die to really quickly then it wouldnt work. | 2012-05-21 12:28:00 Author: Unknown User |
| and done! we'll lower the minimum time but not sure to what length yet. TBH, I don't sit there with a stop watch and go "disqualified because it was only 3.18 seconds." If the gameplay is there, you don't really notice. I answered this a few pages back. Don't focus too hard on the time limit.

I have a question. Can I make the ending have no water like around the scoreboard, not to say anything I just the scoreboard to be dry. Can I do that? Please tell Im not sure | 2012-05-23 20:42:00 Author: Unknown User |
| Bio... can it be different character as in making sprites? Like as long as they drown and is fast paced? | 2012-05-24 01:29:00 Author: Unknown User |
| They want the level to use Sackboy himself, not another character manipulated by a controlinator. | 2012-05-24 01:46:00 Author: Uncuddly Posts: 237 |
| So many questions for such a simple request. They want a fast paced underwater level that mirrors the "Culture Meeting" level by Riki from LBPC1 contest. So you need to use sackboy and have him fly around this level underwater really fast. Problem is, the water is buggy as hell and without gravity, having that smooth flow is incredibly difficult. | 2012-05-24 17:29:00 Author: Nick930930 Posts: 878 |
| Very true, this water has become very difficult. It will be a nice change though to see some solid underwater lvls, even though they might not be super fast. I never created with water, never knew how things would actually move around. This contest has a become a good new learning experience for me. Good luck everyone | 2012-05-24 18:08:00 Author: pj15 Posts: 164 |
| Very true m8, my level plays great sometimes, then other times it doesn't. It's the drag off the water and its pretty random. Hopefully the judge's will playthrough a few times. | 2012-05-24 18:12:00 Author: brucethejam Posts: 105 |
| Sorry guys to have been absent from the questions but it appears they have been answered anyway. As far as the bugginess of the water, yes, we will take that into consideration. I know that sometimes it's unpredictable at best. Good luck guys, I know you all are going to Wow us with your creations! | 2012-05-24 19:23:00 Author: biorogue Posts: 8424 |
| Very true m8, my level plays great sometimes, then other times it doesn't. It's the drag off the water and its pretty random. Hopefully the judge's will playthrough a few times. Yeah bruce I 100% agree with you. Sometimes it works, sometimes it's just a mess. I feel that this contest will have promising entries, but making it as smooth as the contest creators had expected won't be an option. And yeah I agree about the nice new batch of solid underwater levels. I've actually been wanting to build one for a while but it's so difficult to brainstorm creative ideas that don't involve the use of gravity. | 2012-05-24 19:30:00 Author: Nick930930 Posts: 878 |
| I was just wondering if fast-paced means that Sackboy himself needs to move really fast, or can you consider not letting players rest being fast-paced? I mean that Sackthing will move with its normal speed, but it will not be able to halt as something behind him forces him to go on (spikes, fire, whatever). And I do not mean scrolling effect, because it does not quite work for the idea of my level. | 2012-05-24 20:48:00 Author: izhuk Posts: 174 |
| Guys seriously. THIS is what they are looking for, just underwaterfied. Really fast moving level where things are just happening at a mind blowing pace and you need to be quick with your R1 button. Basically you shouldn't even need to use your left joystick or X button. The X button can really screw up your level underwater I noticed. People can just slow down and ruin the flow completely. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKN0PO2Imb0&feature=related Unless you find some new mindblowing way of moving sackboy fast underwater without the use of the environment to move him. Question: Can we use copyrighted music that was remade into a sequencer? Will that hurt scoring? Would I be better off using Mm Music or creating my own unique song? I don't want to risk using the sequencer as it may inflict lag in an already laggy atmosphere (water) | 2012-05-24 21:21:00 Author: Nick930930 Posts: 878 |
| I'm pulling out... I realised how much I really don't care about a crown... but I recognise that there are some people that would do anything for one, so I'm gonna withdraw to give them a better chance. Saying that I do still intend to publish the level eventually... some day See y'all laters | 2012-05-24 22:24:00 Author: ForgottenEnigma Posts: 1414 |
| Oh sweet there's a crown up for grabs? That'd be cool to win and bring over to the vita version But I'm participating only because I love the idea of an underwater level. Having a lot of fun building with it. Why have we not done this before?!?! | 2012-05-24 23:25:00 Author: Nick930930 Posts: 878 |
| Aw Dav1d, I hate to hear that man. I look forward to seeing whatever it is that you had cooked up for this. | 2012-05-25 02:28:00 Author: biorogue Posts: 8424 |
| Yeah same, I keep seeing that he had some "Secret Weapon" of an idea. Please divulge your secret sir. I'm actually very curious. Because I've messed about with about everything and found the only things that make sackboy go up/down fast are bouncepads, fast moving grabbable sponges + inout movers, and cake. Cake tends to make sackboy move exceptionally quickly in whichever direction it is placed... not sure why.. still running tests on this Question: Can sackboy come out of the water for the scoreboard? | 2012-05-25 03:09:00 Author: Nick930930 Posts: 878 |
| I already shared all secret plans... =p Don't take it the wrong way guys... I love the contest idea... but someone would appreciate the prize alot more than me and I can make a better level working outwith a deadline. Obviously I could of just given the prize to 2nd place... but that wouldn't be as good as them winning so... and thats all based on a theoretical win anyway which is unlikely. However, I'm still happy to help you guys out with questions and whatever... just message me if you need me. @Nick, rules say completely underwater from start to finish | 2012-05-25 10:07:00 Author: ForgottenEnigma Posts: 1414 |
| Interesting Discovery for those creators out there who, like myself, have been underwater for quite some time now. Movers have a max speed underwater of around 15. Anything above that does not effect it's speed. I ran tests with objects and found that objects with speed 20 and speed 100 moved at the exact same slow speed as eachother underwater. But above water, both these speeds moved much faster. In short: Avoid left/right movers... they weren't designed correctly to be used underwater. | 2012-05-25 23:07:00 Author: Nick930930 Posts: 878 |

| Unfortunetly... I can't wait to see what the rest of these guys are gonna do for this contest! I haven't gotten a chance to play any of the entries | 2012-05-26 02:20:00 Author: Nick930930 Posts: 878 |
| This is seriously a tough one. I honestly haven't even started on a level yet. I do have one idea, but it just seems like an underwater edition of a level thats already out there, and im not sure if its enough to make it unique. I'm still gonna give it my best shot though. Hopefully I can get something published before the deadline. | 2012-05-26 03:22:00 Author: DreJ1212 Posts: 240 |
| You should have enough time Dre. I just started 2 days ago and am already like..15% finished. | 2012-05-26 04:34:00 Author: Nick930930 Posts: 878 |
| Does the level have to be ocean based, I see a lot of people doing that and I'm taking a different, more creative turn. tell me if it's okay. | 2012-05-26 22:29:00 Author: Unknown User |
| Where do you see anyone saying they're doing ocean based? But no it just has to be in the "Water" feature that's about it. Doesn't say anything about what the "water" is exactly (blood for example inside a body). | 2012-05-26 22:45:00 Author: Nick930930 Posts: 878 |
| Hopefully at least one person has a level about navigating a bowl of soup. | 2012-05-26 22:50:00 Author: Uncuddly Posts: 237 |
| Epic Inspiration has struck! Can't start till wednesday though  | 2012-05-26 23:54:00 Author: Unknown User |
| Aw man I'm excited. I've been spending all week working on the gameplay and was worried about my theme. But now I've got it, and I keep adding to it and it looks even more epic. Just hoping I don't run into thermo issues or lag issues. Only 25% through my level and have half thermo Looks like this one's gonna need a level link | 2012-05-27 01:30:00 Author: Nick930930 Posts: 878 |
| Looks like this one's gonna need a level link Pretty sure the "you may use a level link" was removed from the rules after a contradictory rule stating one level only also existed... you can see that conversation on page 2 of this thread. | 2012-05-27 01:59:00 Author: ForgottenEnigma Posts: 1414 |
| nope, no level links. I know it's going to be tough, but we want it all encompassed inside ONE level. Thanks guys, I know we're going to see some awesome creations. I have faith that ya'll can pull this off. | 2012-05-27 04:55:00 Author: biorogue Posts: 8424 |
| urrggh.. might need to slow my level down then... | 2012-05-27 05:19:00 Author: Nick930930 Posts: 878 |
| yup me two about the therm, im half way, only 35% in. gotta keep on keepin on. as for the non ocean theme, i didnt even think of that . huh? i wonder.... i shouldnt. haa, im a end up with a totaly new lvl if i do. | 2012-05-27 16:57:00 Author: pj15 Posts: 164 |
| I got my inspiration from looking at one thing and combining the two together to make a wacky problem. | 2012-05-27 18:30:00 Author: Unknown User |
| Yup clocked it just now at 45 seconds if I don't make any player mistakes. Only 50% of my level is complete. And thermo is sitting at a hot 65% Times like this i wish this game were on PC.... | 2012-05-27 18:46:00 Author: Nick930930 Posts: 878 |

| Hy guys, sorry for asking but am I allowed about 10 seconds of cutscene (intro) above the water? It's just a docking area so water is still visible and involved, then all the gameplay is underwater. Thanks. | 2012-05-28 18:09:00 Author: Unknown User |

| Gais, I'm entering with my level. It's called "Sooper fast underwater bom surval, with real boms...and fake sharks". I'll take my crown in the mail, I assume? *Disclaimer: Level may not actually exist, and vale may be sarcastic. | 2012-05-28 18:38:00 Author: Valeview Posts: 1581 |
| I'm doing very good, I enjoy blogging so I might seem random. | 2012-05-28 18:42:00 Author: Unknown User |
| @ 0031benjy: Go for it, I feel like it won't be an issue if it's just an opening scene. @ Valeview Hmm... make them real sharks and then you'll be a worthy contender @moose6293 yeah I just come on here everytime I take a break from creating. Working underwater for an extended period of time isn't good for my sanity... it's...it's creepy down there! | 2012-05-28 18:43:00 Author: Nick930930 Posts: 878 |
| @Nick cool. I've noticed when ever I create that my thermo doesn't fill, is that normal I have a huge level and it is 1/4 and I finished my main gameplay. Just need to add what makes it fast. | 2012-05-28 18:48:00 Author: Unknown User |
| Does anyone know where I could buy a camera for my PS3 so I can take pics of my level and upload them online here? | 2012-05-28 18:50:00 Author: Unknown User |
| you don't need to buy anything... upload the picture in game and pull it from lbp.me Full guide here: https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=69556-LittleBigPhoto | 2012-05-28 18:52:00 Author: ForgottenEnigma Posts: 1414 |
| Does anyone know where I could buy a camera for my PS3 so I can take pics of my level and upload them online here? Take a picture using your popit (Or start menu picture option) then find that picture, export it to HDD. Now turn off LBP2. Go to your pictures and Copy those pictures to a flash drive. Put your flash drive in your computer, upload... put them on photobucket or some photo hosting site. THen use the IMG file and post it in a thread to show off your level. There.. that's how I do it. Very tedious process but worth it. you don't need to buy anything... upload the picture in game and pull it from lbp.me I wouldn't recommend this way because the resolution of the image is poor if taken from the website. Also, David's method can only be done with a published level. If you want to show sneak peeks of your level without having actually published it then use my method. | 2012-05-28 19:00:00 Author: Nick930930 Posts: 878 |
| I wouldn't recommend this way because the resolution of the image is poor if taken from the website. Also, David's method can only be done with a published level. If you want to show sneak peeks of your level without having actually published it then use my method. That's not true. The guide I posted explains how to increase quality and can be done from an unpublished level. | 2012-05-28 19:07:00 Author: ForgottenEnigma Posts: 1414 |
| the image is not "poor" if taken off LBP.me Just do this What you're going to need to do to make it better looking is to look at the areas in red... http://i9.lbp.me/img/fl/04953ef8ef34a65e765c7b739c3ecf5f2b8b8702.jpg ...and change them to what is highlighted blue, changing fl to ft enlarges the image and changing jpg to pngenhances the quality of it too. http://i9.lbp.me/img/ft/04953ef8ef34a65e765c7b739c3ecf5f2b8b8702.png and here is the results of that JPG verson http://ic.lbp.me/img/ft/32ce5ce0ed67b999c6b90808b7acb871b621a31d.jpg ang PNG version http://ic.lbp.me/img/ft/32ce5ce0ed67b999c6b90808b7acb871b621a31d.png and it doesn't have to be a publish level. You can take a picture of your pod and post it to LBP.me, you can take pictures of things on your moon and post it. where are you getting your info? | 2012-05-28 19:10:00 Author: biorogue Posts: 8424 |
