Environmental Specialist

Interview conducted by rialrees (http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/member.php?17946-rialrees)

Let me tell you the story of a particular man. His delicate, organic and insanely detailed environments have inspired hundreds of happy gadders to emulate his work. The sheer spectacle of one of his creations is enough to send his followers into crazed fits of jealousy, bemoaning their own mediocre talents to anyone who would care to listen. The moment he hits the publish button, a shiver goes down the neck of all who know him. His name travels far and wide, and that name is..?

Luos_Desruc!

Err... Wait, that's not right...

*Ria shuffles through a pile of papers on the desk, hunting her research notes*

Where is it?

*She seizes a lone scrap of paper*

Oh mercy! I meant Luos_83, of course!

Since the days of ?Sack the Legendary?, Luos has been stunning us all with his imaginative designs, inspiring gameplay and engrossing stories. A "typical" Luos level can take place anywhere from sprawling caverns (http://lbp.me/v/w-qq-5) and jungles (http://lbp.me/v/4bp0x8), buzzing with life and excitement, to highly industrial settings, angular (http://lbp.me/v/1m52e-) and foreboding (http://lbp.me/v/xxmv8p). Or more recently, a trampoline in an unhinged circus (http://lbp.me/v/9sj5e8). (I know... it's freaky but it's ridiculously addictive!)

So I'm not going to beat around the beautifully crafted bush any longer, let's hear from the man himself!

I think that might be all of them, I made so many levels I might have forgotten one or two.

Now, tell me... of these levels, which is your favorite? And why?
Phew.. hard question..

I think it might be "Logic Island" because me and c_mckamey had lots of fun creating the logic and the world around it. I was kind of amazed how well Clay made the logic statues and that nobody ever did that before. But I also really loved working on Lockpicks Maze because it was such a grandeur project that even haunted me in my sleep.

In the end I tend to value a level on how much fun I had while creating it, and I prefer to co-create because in my experience it adds so much fun to the whole process.

How long have you been playing LBP?
I got my hands on LBP a month after the release date, but took a year off when update 1.07 hit the servers and deleted all my hard work. If it wasnt for Ladylynn I would never have touched lbp again.

What was the first full level you ever built? And what was it like?
Well, that would be a level for another game actually, my first level was way back when I just got Unreal Tournament which was a lame forest with a temple on each side with the very creative name "CTF-Foresttemples".

But I'll talk about my first LBP level which was "Drathi Temple". I felt like God when creating this, as my ego back then was insanely huge, and thought it was the best of the best.. Something a lot of creators and level designers feel like when they create their first works. Back then I didnt know anything about logic or glueing so occasionally the whole level broke and it only consisted out of rollers and four or so enemies.. nothing special but even for todays standards it isn't the ugliest thing ever published...

But when looking back it was a piece of junk nonetheless.

What creators and levels (if any) have inspired you to create?
I think it was Gek83. His "Temple of Elements" level is what inspired me and showed me what was possible at the time. X-Nobody-X also showed me some tools of the trade, and that helped me a lot. But I actually got LBP to create in the first place, so the drive was there from day one.

Aside from drawing inspiration from other creators and levels, is there anything in the world outside of LittleBigPlanet that inspires you? This could be a hobby, profession, or even a particular movie or type of music. Pretty much it can be anything in your personal life that has contributed to your experiences as well as inspired you as a creator.
As a kid it started with Lego, making my own things and coming up with stories like "Robot town": A city made entirely out of robots defending it from intruders, like the plastic dinosaurs we had... For some reason plastic dinosaurs loved the taste of yellow Lego people.

At the age of five I got my first console.. a "Pongstation". It was a simple console with one game... "Pong". A few months later the NES arrived at the scene and I have been a game-addict ever since.

Games, all games (and I have played thousands and thousands of games in my life) inspired me one way or the other. I could go all sentimental and talk for hours about which games inspired me.. but I dont want to waste everyone their time with it.

Photography also helped me a lot while creating because it learns you to look at the world in a different light.. It makes you understand how light, color and composition works.

To sum it all up.. anything can be inspirational and influence you in the way you create and in the way you grow as a human.

What are some of your favorite video games (excluding LBP) - new and old?
I think I mentioned in the previous answer that I wouldnt go into this... You are evil Ria, very evil!

Mwahahahahaha!
Okay, here goes:

Phantasy star 4
Terranigma
Illusion of time
Secret of mana
Donkey Kong Country
Sonic 3 & Knuckles
Abe's Oddessey & Exodus
Ocarina of Time
A link to a past
Final fantasy 7
Story of Thor
Kingdom Hearts
Ico
Shadow of the Collossus
Okami
Etc.. etc.. etc..

If you could list your favorite things about LittleBigPlanet, what would they be?

The community in all its flaws and its greatness.
Making many many friends.
Expressing oneself artistically.
Playing near-infinite levels.

And your least favorite thing(s)?

The community in all its flaws and its greatness.
The way cool pages work.
Getting in useless arguments.
Losing lots of work due to bugs.
Updates that break more than they fix.

Don't get me wrong about the community; In retrospect I can laugh about all the cool page spam and the way the community flocks to it like it's the next big thing. For some reason "bieberbombtrainhotelsharknuke survivals with real water, prizes and free costumes" will keep attracting the young generation. We can be angry about it or laugh about it and see the lols in it.

The community is diverse, and occasionally very strange, and if we are part of it I guess we just have to accept the whole comunity in its flaws, greatness and with that even the "trolls". I do think we should all be a little nicer have more respect towards eachother.

To quote William Sackspeare:

?If you prick us, do we not lose stuffing?
If you tickle us, do we not laugh by pressing up on the dirpad?
If you poison us with gas, do we not die and respawn to the closest checkpoint?
And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge by slapping you into a pit?
If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that?

What?s the worst thing that?s happened while creating?
Losing a lot of work, and having people break your stuff when they join.

On a sort of similar subject, have there ever been any great ideas you had that failed or for any other reason you never implemented?
Oh I got plenty, some waiting for inspiration, others scrapped because LBP2 opened up many more possibilities. Me and clay got at least 10-15 levels collecting dust due to lack of gameplay, inspiration or other reasons.

If you there was anything you could change about the game, what would it be? This could be anything from adding materials or tools to eradicating H4H.
A seperate page in the game that works together with LBPC, LBL and Planetarium would be great. Show new levels posted in threads on their websites, a unique page for i.e. level spotlights and creator spotlights would add a lot to this game. If it was on a creators point of view I got so many many ideas and suggestions for lbp2 or any future lbp game that I could go on for many many hours.

Does Poochy want some Icecream? Yes you do! Good Poochy!

http://i.imgur.com/qE7FF.png

Before your time as a happy gadder, you worked in the gaming industry as an environmental designer, I believe? How do you find that this previous experience, creating for games, helps you in your LBP creations?

It is both a blessing and a curse in my humble opinion, let me explain why.

The curse of it is that I tend to keep things really realistic, so no floating platforms or magically created devices.

Something that actually would fit perfectly in LittleBigPlanet and I tend to stay in my comfort zone (caves) as they were my specialty back then. More than often than not Clay (c_mckamey) and Fotosynthesis will go "Please Luos, no caves this time" and they are right.. I should try to stay away from caves a little more.

Another problem is the fact that I tend to go for visuals first and gameplay second which even though I do it myself is a big no-no!

Gameplay first, visuals second! *writes it down for a mental note*

The Blessing is that I do not feel limited in anything I make (besides a few limitations LBP has, like a better way to tranfer data between levels or even a decent savegame logic for levels).

You and c_mckamey (Clay) have become quite the team on LittleBigPlanet, with your co-creations consistently wow-ing the LBP community. How did you two meet?

I bought Clay on ebay.

Just kidding! Way back in LBP1 me and TheAdipose where co-creating a lot and since Adi was also part of the community spotlight team we often played levels together.

One of those levels was one of the first levels Clay made. It was called "The temple of the Sky-Orb" and I saw a lot of potential in his level, especially when it came to logic which he showed off in secret rooms in his level.

I contacted him and we instantly became friends.

I would probably have given up on creating if it wasnt for Clay. Sadly (and I am guessing partially because of this) my contact with Adi slowly withered, and I am occasionally still sad about that because I miss him as a friend, co-creator and epic gameplay designer.

That said, I am really happy I found someone to create with on such a regular basis and I am sure Adi knows I still care a great deal for him.

Tell us a bit about how well you work together. What sort of roles do you take on? Do you both have set tasks that you stick to in create mode, or is your relationship more equal?

I tend to do the visuals mostly and I am not the worst when it comes to logic but compared to Clay I am a complete n00b.

Even though Clay can make great vehicles and other contraptions he tends to stick more to the logic aspect of the level, making sure that whatever I come up with actually works like I expect it to work

I of course focus mostly on the visuals and audio of the level trying to make things as beautiful as I can.

Luckily we now have a third member to co-create with, you might know him as his last two levels got that shiny pink ribbon, and his name is Fotosynthesis, a fellow dutchman who has great understanding of gameplay, visuals and even logics (though Clay would love to get his hands on Foto's logic to make it all more organized!)

On a similar note, it must be pretty tricky working together so often, on so many large projects. Does the stress ever get to the pair of you? Have you argued about certain things whilst building a level? (I can imagine Clay screaming over a headset in panic: ?Gosh darn it, no Luos! The thermo won't take this abuse!?)

Haha, Clay never uses a microphone.. well.. he did use his microphone once and he has this great southern accent. (Think: "Did you bring the truck witchadicha?") And anyway, if anybody likes to abuse the thermo it's him.

Together we tend to fully ignore the thermo and find ways to cram it all into one level, even if it means we need to start removing any corner we can find, remove stickers here and there and place whole sections of the level in an emitter just to force it all into one slot.

That said we do tend to discuss a lot of things and it occasionally does happen that one of us simply cannot agree with the other, and then we keep talking until we find the middle-road, or even drop the matter until a later time.

This way we can keep on creating and in that process often come up with a better solution to our problems.

We do have at least ten to twelve levels and/or contraptions collecting dust because we either don't know what to do with them or because our opinions on the levels clash so much we just can't find a middle road. (Yet)

?And then he smeared some glitched material given by Aya, and there was earth.? A while back, you mentioned in passing that the majority of your levels were made from glitched dark matter. Just how many tricks do you keep up your sleeve to keep the precious thermometer under your command?

Hmm let me think..

Ah yes, here are some things we tend to stick to.

1. Some basic things that really help is removing any corners on objects that are hidden behind decorations or are never in view at all.

2. Keep objects simple, and if they do tend to become complex you can always use the amazing cutting tool to cut the object up, the engine will thank you for it

3. Moving objects are heavier for the engine than static ones so keeping a gravity modifier on them untill the player can interact with them also helps a little.

4. We also tend to keep any moving objects (and sackbots) in emitters and only emit them when we need them to appear.

5. Destroy anything the player can't get back to; this lowers the thermo and in result allows you to emit more bigger pieces.

6. Instead of placing a square piece of holo, sticker panel (sp) or Light/dark matter try to use triangles, one corner less might not be much but if you use hundreds of holos to put decorations or logic on it will save you hundreds of corners.

7. The "de-collision tool" or "ghosting tool" allows the creator to permanently or temporarily "ghost" an object to remove its collision, this way of work takes a little more time but can save the creator hundreds of corners and objects as well as allowing the creator to actually have moving stuff in the background layers, even if the creator build something in the background.

(Maybe I should write a detailed tutorial about this...)

8. Aya042 published a great level back in LBP1 in which you could collect glitched materials, think of metal thats as light as floaty or sponge that acts like dark/light matter.

Sure a lot of logic material modifiers can do this for you as well but not having to use logic means a liiiitle bit of thermo can be saved to place something else as well.

9. Dont use too much different materials, decos and stickers.

The more materials, the more thermo you will use, same goes for stickers and decorations so always look at your thermometer when placing something new and consider if its worth it.

10. Last but not least "Real Water".

Ever since LBP2, water takes up thermo (about 2.5 bars) so if you do use water you could try to only activate it when a player is close and drain all the water when a player isn't near this liquid goodness.

This in combination with emitting new level sections or objects can give you some additional breathing room, as well as giving back some fps (frames per second).

You've already mentioned "Lockpick's Maze", a level of yours that literally made my eyes pop out of my skull! You talk about finding inspiration anywhere around you, in art, games and films to name just a few sources. Where on earth did you find inspiration for that particular concept?

I was cleaning up one of my closets, and found a small minimaze. It's a circle-shaped maze the size of a childs hand and you have to maneouvre a little metal ball through the maze from point A to B.

For some reason this inspired me to make lockpicks maze.

Instead of a ball we used a cute little bot who got stuck in a nightmare and lost the ability to walk and the player needed to rotate the maze to make the little bot move around in his rotating nightmare.

A bit farfetched but it worked out in the end.

Gameplay aside, the lighting is probably my favourite aspect of the level. Do you find that your experience with photography helps you to visualise the concepts for your levels?

Oh yes it does, not so much when it comes to gameplay but much more when it comes to the overall theme and camera angles in the level.

As a photographer you learn a lot about compositions, (like the rule of thirds (http://www.ultimate-photo-tips.com/photography-rule-of-thirds.html) ) but my education also involved the history of art which taught me a lot about all kinds of compositions.

This helps me to try and get great camera angles and design the surroundings in such a way that both the scenery and camera angles compliment eachother.

After a few months playing around shooting photos I started to notice my eyes and mind reacted more to subtle changes in sunlight.

For instance a cloud close to the sun can already remove a few percent of light which I never really noticed until my eyes started to look at lighting in a more professional and playful way.

These subtle light changes are something I try to put in my level, often so subtle that the player doesn't notice it, but still gives them a certain feeling when they enter or exit a cave for instance.

My macrophotography - making small things really huge...

("Thats what she said" screams Clay in the background, playing around with some logic while I'm getting interviewed)

My macrophotography helps me to wonder and fantasize about strange new worlds that we normally don't see.. I tend to try and get that feeling into my levels one way or the other.

Moving on from Beh'Ta to Reh'Tahl, I understand you're now working on redoing your side-scroller "FRANTIC". The images and previews you've been putting out look incredible so far. What challenges are you facing in completing this huge project?

Too many, waaay to many challenges...

First of all is the logic, the complexity isn't the problem because I got Clay to help me out but it's a lot.. a loooot!!

Having to make AI for 140-something enemies is a real timesucking process, then having to make 10 original levels all with unique scrolling backgrounds that often change scenery halfway the level is also very time consuming and often mindnumbing.

Then there is the space-ship itself we worked on for five weeks hourwise.
It contains 48 different projectiles and around 150 emitters which at the moment has this slight latency issue with the 4 secret weapons, resulting in the probability we (Clay) have to redo almost all of its logic.

At this point, I hear Clay screaming "Noooo Rrrraagggeeee!!!!!!!11111!one!!!11eleven!!" in the background... Maybe someone could fetch him a puppy or something, to calm him down?

The biggest problem though is a way to transfer all the information (purchased weapons, score, levels completed, a total of 32 bits of data if not more) to the next level.

This is now deemed impossible, and we thought about different ways to make this work, but all ideas so far ended up making the overall experience of this game less interesting.

So maybe we'll just wait and hope any future LBP is backwards compatible. *crosses all fingers and toes*

In the meanwhile me and Clay do occasionally work on some stuff for this Epic revamp of Frantic but when we get bored we tend to work on other stuff thats easier to achieve.

I've noticed that you like sharing prizes with the community in your levels, gifting players little snippets of logic and decoration which give insight into your creating methods. Do you feel that this is an important gesture towards the community, as a positive reinforcement of the 'Play, Create, Share' ethic?

Personally, I don't care much for community prizes and my "collect community" is always turned off.

But some people do like these prizes, and if I find something that's interesting or fun to share, I might still hide those prizes around my levels.

Levels like Robbit10 - his creator toolkit is much more interesting than a regular prize in a level, and with all those "Free costumes!!!111!!" Levels out there giving prizes away, in regular levels it can feel like just an annoyance.

So especially nowadays I tend to only give stuff people can really use.

And now... on a more lighthearted note: Err Lu... if there's any sort of deep, personal affection for a certain creator that you want to get off your chest, this could be the perfect opportunity.

What?! Who told you about my feelings for Felkroth?!

Wait.. nobody did?! Oh... Uhmm.. well...

As I promised Felkroth not to talk about to Felkroth I won't talk about Felkroth because I don't want Felkroth to become angry at me because I mentioned Felkroth

No, not Felkroth

I was thinking more of... this...

http://i.imgur.com/TrLYD.png

Ooh thats "Luos Big Guns", one of the characters in my newly published level "Cirque Absurde". Ever since I saw a photo of "SteveBigGuns" anything with huge muscles or actual big guns I will instantly call "Steve".

The first boss in my "Frantic" game also wears the name "Steve" because of the huge guns this enemy has.

That said, I don't know Steve personally and only had the chance to meet his sackperson for a meager few minutes but I am sure he is a great guy

I wish I had the time to mention all my friends and respected creators, people whos opinions I value and care for.

So I will just give everybody a big *hug*.

Finally, is there anything you, as a creator, would like to add to this? Or any other experiences you?d like to share? If not, I?d like to ask one more question of you: If you could give any bit of advice to new creators out there who are thinking about entering the wonderful world of creating, what would it be?

I'll keep this one short.

Don't start a series until you are more experienced and are able to finish levels. Don't forget LBP is about fun, it's not about hearts, plays, MMpicks, Crowns, spotlights, popularity and other stuff.

It's about having fun creating and playing with friends, and meeting new and interesting people.

Be eager to learn and try to become a great creator and person.

Spread the love

*hug*

Errr... Halp?

So, if you've never experienced one of Luos' levels before, what can you expect?

This is a very difficult question to answer. You will receive a completely different experience with every possible level you dive in to! Each level on his earth is unique, in its setting, its scope, its gameplay and its feel.

You're bound to choose a favourite among them, and perhaps you may think to yourself ?Lu, dude, why don't you make another level like --Insert Your Absolute-Can't-be-Beaten Favourite Here--? That was awesome!?. The answer is simple ? he's not just making them for you. He's making them for himself.

Delving into a level by Luos is not finding out what awesome scenery or epic gameplay mechanic he's set up for you. Instead, it's like taking a trip into the darkest recesses of his imagination, finding out what his latest dream was, and taking a part of it back to your pod with you. Maybe this is a part of what makes his levels so popular, who knows?

There's one thing I do know, though. I truly hope we'll get to see more!

Well, that's all, folks! We hope you have enjoyed this installment of the Creator Spotlight. For past spotlights, please visit this link (http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?100-Creator-Spotlight-Archive). See you next time!

Yes indeedy!! At long long long long... well.. really long last, a new Creator Spotlight! YAY!!!

First off allow me to welcome and thank the wonderful new writer on our staff, RIA!! Many of you know her from other duties on the site such as the incredible Community Spotlight team to name just one. She is awesome to work with and only had to pay like 50 million cookies to get her to agree to being locked in the dark closet, oh I mean plush writing staff room. lol

I have to say a huge thanks and congrats to her as this was one amazingly well written interview. Wow.. I have to step up my game now! lol Congrats Ria and thanks so much!!

One thing you will notice is the lack of a video. Sorry, but just too much time consumed to be able to keep up with those and do an interview of this caliber. However, we do have plans to release special videos here and there that will be announced and shown on the RemoteMoonProductions youtube channel. yay!! ..and there may be some other surprises along with those as well.

So thanks for your patience or impatience, yelling, screaming, everyone wondering why!? Where did they go!! ...well, here they are again!

Oh... and a special thanks and congrats to Luos for his time and thoughts. We thought he would be an excellent choice to do a spotlight on and he did not disappoint at all. Thanks Luos and Congrats!!

SO THERE!

Best thing ever. Ever.
Gonna read it all now.

**Edit**

Finished it.
Excellent read, glad it's back.
Feels weird though.
On the old spotlights, I never knew any of the creators. But these days, I do. Guess that's with me joining the site now, I guess.
Glad the reason I joined LBPC is back.
I love you all now :3

Wow, that was unexpected. The last spotlight came out what, over a year ago?

Great interview. I love reading these, they're a great way to get to know our "LBP celebs" a little better. You guys should definitely do more of these.

Well deserved man hugs. From my few personal interactions i've had with Luos, I can say he seems to be a great stand up guy who is not beyond helping anyone be successful in LBP or life. My kids also adore him and his levels.

PS - the format here worked and looked good on my iPhone.

Fanatastic to see the return of the Creator Spotlight! The interview was a great read, well done guys!

Congratulations to Luos on being featured. I've been a fan of his work ever since the Meddling Magpie and those tutorials he and the Adipose did (particularly the one about making good caves, of course

)

Can't wait to see who's up next!

Its funny how I can find contradicions in the stuff I answered.

Time goes by so fast, and we all change so quickly, that looking at what you wrote four months ago must be pretty weird lol! Sorry it took so long Lu! xxx

Funny to see one of my fairly close friends i talk to all the time on a spotlight like this. xD but is is cool of course. tho was some of the info in the post made like many months ago? because some of the stuff is outdated now. like how Clay is not around to create with Luos anymore at least for right now. :0 *mew

Yeah, this started a LONG while back. Unfortunately it;s taken me some time to get in my stride to get this thing ready, plus we've all been working on other interviews to get going - Jww wanted a bit of a head start before we let the cat out of the bag

So hopefully, you'll see many more coming ..... SOON!

A loooooooooooooooooooooooooong time overdue!
(Luos as the spotlight, not the spotlight itself)

When I read the part about the uneleased levels due to lack of gameplay, well..
I tip my hat to you good sir.

*cough* may contain a few spoilers? *cough*

LUOS_83. A name used for a person who's preeeetty good at making cool things... and stuff
Oh, no, I'm telling you this certainly aint no bluff
Head to his earth at once, and witness
Why you can't spell LUOS without AWESOMENESS (LUawesOmenesS)

Behold, the Switch-Trigger Tribe's Logic god
AND's, OR's, GATES and such things that are odd
What's mORe, this lever has hilarious cONversatiONs
AND an end with quite scary revelatiONs

Let us go together to the Isle of New BeH'Ta and adventure
through the caves of Reh'Tahl, what trials will we endure?
Venture through the ruins of old
Enjoy the visual story you will be told

Yet this is not all, this sensational creational mind
has left on his earth for you to find
Kiddy platformers, for the young and small
Cutesy wutesy and fun for everyone and all

This poem ends now soon; what are you still doing here
Better get a grip on your controller and head over to the levels there
And have fun, maybe with a friend or two
And let the bouncepads shoot you into the wild blue!

.. Might be a little out of shape? Hope you like it Luos

Great to see the creator spotlight back, and congrats to Luos_83. He deserved it thanks to his environmental visuals and creative gameplay. My favorite of his levels is the steampunk/silhouette factory level. Awesome job on the interview as well, Lous and Ria.

What makes this even more awesome is the fact I read it in Zecora's voice.

Oh Luos (a.k.a *insert anything here*), I'm glad I was finally able to read this, I feel like it was years in the making. Glad to have the creators spotlights back, I know how difficult it is to get these type of things back up and running. #28 was a perfect way to kick off what is to come. Congratulations crew and congrats Luos for being Desruc (not like that).

P.S. Say hi to the wifey for me.
