The New World Colonization Force: Series

Archive: 12 posts


Hey All! http://lbp.me/v/eqv4tz
I recently published a 3 part series (plus an intro) called The New World Colonization Force! Each part is different; Part 1 is a top down shooter, Part 2 is a side scrolling shotter, and Part 3 is a tad bit of platforming and a boss.

Story: After the creation of a couple large space programs, man found a planet the sustained life, Algina. Problem is the indigenous, called the Gornax, an insect-like species, have started a war with human beings for the planets natural resources. So, the Gornax found a way to hack into the NWCF Base's defence systems, and now the defensive turrets attack humans, not Gornax. As a soldier in the New World Colonization Force it is your duty to find out what is causing the breach in the defense system and destroy it. Navigate and fight your way into the Gornax Hive and destroy the breach. That is your mission, and hopefully you can get it done in time to get back to base for lunch!

This series has taken me about a year to make so I'm pretty happy I'm done.

If you queue the intro then you're all set because the levels are connected to each other with level links so that you don't have to go back to your pod. But, the descriptions of each level do have the story if you leave and come back later.

this sounds interesting and will add to the queue. You should also consider this to try and "spice" up the thread and get more attention to it.

First, this is your level, your creation, your baby. Your job is to convince people to play your level. Right? If you are proud enough of your level to post it in the Showcase area, then why oh why would you post it like this. This is only an example of some of the post I've seen:

"Hey guys, I just finished my new level. I worked on it real hard, so please go play it."

Wow, I don't know about you, but I sure want to play this level...NOT!
Here's a simple check list of things to do, to make your thread stick out.



LBP.me tool--did you use the tool? it's the blue box with a white bell, http://www.lbpcentral.com/images/lbpme.pngmore on this later



brief synopsis on your level. What is the level about? What type of gameplay is it?


F4F -- did you make it a feedback for feedback thread? Did you want to?


PICTURES-- did you post some pictures? more on this later



The LBP.me tool:http://www.lbpcentral.com/images/lbpme.png This nifty little tool is quite cool. Click on the icon and it will put this code in for you. Copy your LBP.me level URL. The URL is the in the white address bar at the top of the page. It will look something like this: http://lbp.me/v/zwp--b
put that URL in between the code so that it looks like this:
http://lbp.me/v/zwp--b
NOTE: This must be the first line of your post
Now what this does, is gathers the LBP.me info and puts it in the thread for you. Kind of like this:

Alternatively, you can use this method here. It's one of the options when posting your level. It's really simple. Just put the level code in and Kabam! done.

Pictures Add some pictures! This is really simple to do. I would recommend taking your own pictures within your level. Open your popit, click on stickers and deco and scroll through to your pictures. on the pictures you want to upload. hit square on the picture and upload.
NOTE This section is mainly for Firefox or Chrome users. If you're using Internet Explorer then go to Google and type in Mozilla Firefox or Chrome and download one of those browsers.

Find your pic(s) click on it, then click it again so that it's the
only
thing in the window.
Copy the URL. come to your thread and click the Insert picture tool
http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/LBPC-Style/editor/insertimage.png
a box will pop up, click on the "from URL" tab
paste the URL in the box
Be sure to UNCHECK the box that says "
Retrieve remote file and reference locally" Unchecking this box, makes the picture bigger
click "OK" Then when you submit the thread your picture will be in the page like so:

F4F (Feedback for Feedback)--- Feedback for Feedback is a system that helps creators improve their skills by offering to trade feedback with others. This system is optional; you do not have to participate. Also, Feedback For Feedback works back-and-forth between both the Level Showcase and Object Showcase. You may specify a level under an object's F4F, and vice versa

They shouldn't be locked because before I overwrote the locked published level I unlocked them. Would you mind checking again and telling me if they're locked?

Yeah still locked it says The creator of this level has chosen not to publish their information to the web.

It could be that your profile is just locked on LBP.me not sure how you unlock it or anything though.

EDIT: No worries this time it worked and i can now see the level. I don't know why it was telling me it was locked. Maybe just something wrong on my end.

Anyway queued and i'll test this out tonight or tomorrow it looks great.

Nice intro !

Nice shoot em up phase !
Missing lateral movement for dodge fire's enemy maybe ?
I was able to pass through red gates without problems.

The second phase not working correctly.
First, I started outside the level (when I aggripe the ceiling wall with the space ship, I can leave the scenery.)
http://i49.servimg.com/u/f49/13/39/89/13/ship10.jpg

When, I am dead, but the space ship has not come back.
This passage is a little too repetitive I think.

Missing link between the stage 2 and 3 no ?

The boss is well done.


There are small errors in your levels, but they deserve more visits !
Good Job !

Thank you for bug finding on my levels mish80! I believe I have fixed the majority of the problems you found. The gates are fixed now (the microchips were on the wrong part!) About the lateral movement, I decided, when i made the level, that i didnt want it because of the type of ship this is. I believe I have fixed the ability to leave the level in part 2. I'm not sure how to fix the not spawning because it doesnt happen to me, but im working on it. Thank you for the complements and constructive critizism!2012-05-31 17:02:00

playing part one now and have to say that this just looks incredible. nice detailed environment. the structures are well made, as is the ship. I keep wanting to move laterally though. Just feels like a natural movement to make. No reverse either. when my ship is destroyed, there is that annoying image of my sackboy flying up on the screen in the death pose. UGH. Other than that, WOW! I loved this. great gameplay! now to part 2.
I loved the transition here to sidescroller. pretty cool. great work on the environment here as well and then we have the ugly death pose again. took me a bit to realize these guys were shooting at me. Their bullets are dark and almost blend in. maybe make them another color or something. Red? Onward to part 3.
wow! I really like this. Man, I love the design. so very cool looking. Just a clean design. awesome. HOLY CRAP! That bad guy looks cool as all get out man! He moves so fluidly too! And end.
Well, it was a bit short but I still loved it. I would have liked to have seen more gameplay and a few contraptions to play on but still, solid platforming and like I said, incredible design. The series as a whole is amazing and I love it. Awesome work man.
