Project Time! http://ia.lbp.me/img/ft/09abd17a7e4c5be0b79e40b55353584fb8b5cb88.jpg Hi Sozo here. If you did not already know I am working on a level series where you follow the crazy questionable adventures of Dareti Katain the sky pirate. In the stories you the player are known as Minion. You loyally serve Dareti by force. Minon always has to do all the hard work in the adventures. Sometimes Dareti helps out Minion, though normally only when she absolutely has to. This is a very goofy comedy adventure fantasy series. The series main gameplay type is Action Adventure Platformer. http://ic.lbp.me/img/ft/03c2a89b7fe4f54de979e824489e4ca202dccd9e.jpg Since I am a big Sonic the hedgehog fan. I like to base a lot of my level themes and gameplay after sonic games. Though I also love to mix other ideas from games in my levels as well… some examples are Crash Bandicoot. Ratchet & Clank. Zelda. Rocket Knight. And some others once in a while. Now however I only like to base ideas and to try to give my series some of the feeling of these games. So there won’t be any character cameos or copies of levels from these games. Also other things I like to mix in my stories is Steam-punk. everyone loves steam punk after all, me included. …I also like to include some anime jokes and references when I can. Right now I have 3 Dareti projects planed. Underwater Carnival Adventure. Lolibee Saga. Remake Of Sky Heart. I’ll now go in to a bit more detail of these projects… The remake of sky heart will be well… a hopefully much better version of my sky heart levels last year. They were really rushed. I had made them all in just 2 weeks. So yeah anyways this is were Minion first meets Dareti Katain for the first time. Minion is being chased by evil Zombie Vampire Werewolf Gnomes (Yes they are just one creature) but then she rescues Minion by letting Minion aboard her Air-ship. But after she saves Minion, Dareti requests that Minion help her steal the sky heart orb from Skysock Island. Of course when she asks Minion to help she is not being honest while doing so. Saying all kinds of lies like the sky socks stole the sky heart from her and that she is just a good hearted adventurer and not a pirate whatsoever. But she is really bad at lying and goofs up when doing so every time. So in this episode (AKA mini series) You set out with Dareti Katain in the sky to find the sky heart and take down any skysocks along the way. http://i3.lbp.me/img/ft/203c553b1027a3db4363ea41b7cfcff81b73ad6c.jpg http://i5.lbp.me/img/ft/685d9a443ea9af988c6fa96d20cbd4fd2764b36a.jpg --- The Loilbee saga was first gonna be made for LBPC6... But I failed to get it done in time. I still have a lot of work to do on it to be honest. Anyways. So this episode (AKA mini series) is about Lolibee. Lolibee is the series main villain and rival to Dareti. (Kinda like the Eggman/Robotnik of the series except way more cute) Lolibee is the Steampunk Bee Pirate Queen. She has a super big crew of "Steampunk Bee Pirate People". Lolibee has a very big ego which is suppose funny since she is so short. In this story Lolibee wants revenge on Dareti for beating her in a "Bee Dance Contest" many years ago. And she wants to steal Dareti’s "Ship Eye" to power her own doom ship machine. In these levels you are on a quest to fine Dareti’s stolen "Ship Eye" and to get revenge on Lolibee. You’ll have to work alone side Dareti on foot to do so. First down a mountain. Then in a magically forest. Then in a Steampunk Beehive. Lolibee’s factory makes all kinds of machines, gizmos, badniks and stuff. And you heard me right, Badniks… them cartoony type robot enemies from sonic games. But I designed my own for my stories of course. Lolibee also sells her badniks and machines to anyone willing to pay. In this world she is one of the most big businesses out there. But as much money as she makes (which is a lot) that don’t stop her from still being a greedy pirate too. She has also lived for 100s of years and still only look 15 thanks to her secret royal jelly her people make for her. Which is something Dareti always wants to steal from Lolibee and add it to her rare treasure stash. http://i5.lbp.me/img/ft/1553dda6e0353eda1079b91b396af690ddc0c4a0.jpg http://i1.lbp.me/img/ft/2c1ed9b248b841a119301869d71e835994d08ba2.jpg http://i2.lbp.me/img/ft/4b2ee8a1f3441323b4935ea25aa73c56ca847fad.jpg --- The Underwater Carnival Adventure was gonna be made for LBPC8... But again I failed to get it done in time. in this episode Dareti wants to have fun at the underwater carnival she has heard rumors about. But she quickly learns that trying to get in without a ticket is not taken so lightly by the dog man running the carnival. the main foe in this story are the sailor dog man known as the Seadogs and their captain Saltydog. they will be riding carnival themed submarines. in the story the Seadogs are running a carnival under the sea that is sponsored by Lolibee. (Again Lolibee is somewhat like the Eggman/Robotnik of the Dareti stories.) her Badniks are sold to anyone willing to buy them all over the world. so even sailors and whatnot will buy them from her factory. But Dareti don’t like being forced out of the carnival and decides to drag Minion along to have fun in the carnival anyways… even if they have to destroy everything to do so. Clearly Captain Saltydog and his crew are not going to just sit around and do nothing about it if he has any say in the matter. http://i5.lbp.me/img/ft/975e00741aef69b5033b86e5f22c31fc46b85731.jpg --- And well there are my projects I am/plan to work on for a good while to come. ---------------------- Recruitment Info. ---------------------- Now Here I have to be honest here. While I do plan on completing the projects with or without help from anyone. I really would like some help. I find I am having trouble completing these projects for one reason or another and I really would like to get them done as soon as I can… without hurting the project of course. Quality over quantity matters most to me, I do want my levels to be as nice as I can get them. Anyways lets get down to business. Would you like to help with my projects? If yes then read below to see what I am looking for in a team member. I myself can not join anyone really on LBP right now because of my internet type I have. I have satellite internet. (AKA Hughes-Net) and until a better internet is available in my area… I won’t be able to join people anytime soon. Now however that don’t stop me from being able to play levels or upload levels or chat with people on my friend list on PSN. Because I can still do them things… just I can not join you is all. I have a private group for my projects on LBPC where all the real discussions will take place. And IMO in a way it’s actually better to co create this way. We don’t need to wait for one another to both be online everyday. We can create any time of the day it’s most easy for us. it’s easy to keep track what everyone is suppose to do and what has already been done by reading the group topics. But if this way of co creating is not fun for you. That’s understandable but there’s nothing I can really do to change that right now. So if you don’t like it then it’s ok, you don’t have to join the team. But if you are interested still then read on. What I would like is at least 1 or 2 active team members. I can’t tell you how hard it is on a project when all your team members are to busy all the time to really help much. You end up doing all the work yourself or you get very burnt-out and then quit the project for a while if not forever. Anyways if you don’t think you will have much time to help or easily see yourself getting busy in the close future for a long time. Then do me a favor and don’t join ok? Now don’t get me wrong. We all have busy times in are lives. But there’s a big difference between sometimes being busy and almost always being busy. Other things I’m looking for in a team member is… someone nice and friendly. If you can’t get along with me very good, Then it won’t work out very good will it? …you need to be fairly well skilled in something… and I don’t mean you just think you are. But that you know you are. Sorry but if you are not really able to help with the project in some form or another. It would hurt the project more then it would help. Now while it is a team project and I will listen to everyone and even add in as many of everyone’s ideas that I can within reason. You will have to understand that this is my project. stories, and characters. So if I really don’t like something, then it won’t be in the project. I try to be as nice as I can, But please don’t try to push your luck. *mew Ohyeah. No voice acting sorry. I like silent stories a lot. And I want these stories to stick to that theme. Sure there is talking with text. But that’s about as far as I go. Now for some creator types I really would like to have on the team. Cut-scene expert. I know how to make cut scenes fairly ok. But they take me ages… and sometimes I really could just use help with them. I want good cut scenes too. Not amateur stuff. Play some of Bobtox’s levels for a example for nice cut scenes. Logic expert. I’m actually not that bad at logic… but sometimes I have a big problem with something that ends up taking me a long time to get done right. And plus I could always in general use a nice logic person around. C: Gameplay expert. While at times I am really good at thinking up gameplay ideas… I find a lot of the time it can take me a long time to clear out the details good or I just hit creator’s block all together once in a while and don‘t know what to do at that point. So someone skilled at creating gameplay would be very cool to have on the team. But them creator types are just something that standout in my mind I’d like to have… really it don’t matter what your good at, as long you are indeed very good at something. As it’ll help my projects regardless. So like they say, the more the merrier. :3 *mew Now If you have any questions please do ask. Unless they are rude questions… then leave.

I think you'll have more luck on the "Meet Other Happy Gadders" forum.

I think you'll have more luck on the "Meet Other Happy Gadders" forum. I already have a second topic there that links back to this one. and IMO recruiting topics work better here. and besides this is also a project planing topic. not just a recruitment topic. *mew

Glad you've started off with a ton of concepts, enemies and characters. Most threads willing to start a project have close to nothing to start with, which leads to failure. I don't think I can help, but the stuff you've got already is really really awesome. The costumes are insane!

Thanks. happy you like my stuff. there is actually a lot more concepts and stuff made for my projects already that i did not even post here. I had to cut a lot of the info as short as i could. *mew

It looks like you're off to a good start. Definitely better than my own pet project, which is on a little bit of a hiatus. There's a definite goal here, and that seems to be the best way to get somewhere. I'd offer my help, but I have to admit that I'm not reliable. I'd be likely to forget that I was going to make this or do that for you, and that doesn't sound like something you'd want. I have tons of time, but often lack motivation, or am otherwise distracted.

Hmm... that's a hard choice. that fact that you have a lot of free time is nice. but yeah if you feel that you are not reliable... then it could be a bad idea to add you to the project. tell you what, just think about it some more for a small while. then tell me what you feel/think at that point. *mew

Hey fume, I would love to help out on this, but seeing as I have no internet connection right now, and my ps3 time has been erratic, I will have to hold off, but I will say that I can be on an extended recruitment phase? I am great with everything that has been asked of, but I would love to focus on cutscenes, try playing my 1st Jak and Daxter level and you can get a glimpse of my cutscene prowness I hope to help out on this as I do like the themes and characters you've developed.

Hey fume, I would love to help out on this, but seeing as I have no internet connection right now, and my ps3 time has been erratic, Then how did you post this? Or do you just mean for the ps3 you don't?. but you don't need to be online PS3 to help me with my projects as long you are able to create on Ps3 i'm sure we can work something out. a example is putting stuff you create for the project in a empty level then putting a backup of the level on a memory stick, then uploading that backup data online somewhere. but anyways. Sure, You can join my project whenever you have the time... not like i have tons of people asking to join anyways. *mew PS: i'll invite you to my LBPC project group soon... need to clean the place up a bit first tho.

I meant in the sense that at the moment my ps3 isn't connected to the internet, but it will soon, so I would be willing to help out with random things until I get online, sorry for the miss-communication

I'd love to help, as I'm practically never busy, but the only thing I'm exceptionally good at is creating music. I also like doing vehicles, and I do have some gameplay ideas, but I'm terrible at that compared to music. If you want, I could send you a sort of "demo track" to show you what I can do.

I can help with gameplay.

try playing my 1st Jak and Daxter level and you can get a glimpse of my cutscene prowness OK i played them. hmm... not exactly what i would want. they were more what LBP1 cut-scenes were like then LBP2 cut-scenes are like normally... but whatever. i mostly just want a person to assist me on cut-scenes, not completely make them for me. I'm sure you can do that. *mew I'd love to help, as I'm practically never busy, but the only thing I'm exceptionally good at is creating music. I also like doing vehicles, and I do have some gameplay ideas, but I'm terrible at that compared to music. If you want, I could send you a sort of "demo track" to show you what I can do. sure. show/send/link me to a music demo. I'm not to overly worried about music. while music is really nice and is semi important to a level. it's normally one of the last things i add in my levels as music is never a very big focus of mine. I can help with gameplay. hm. i checked your levels. they mostly seemed to be some tech demos. you would have to show me your skills far more for me to know if you can help me or not. *mew

I sent you a friend request, cuz I have to send the sequencer through LBP.

OK well. Is anyone else interested in joining? and quick question people. which do you like playing as more? your normal sackperson or a sackbot set to look like you? sackbots are very nice because you can do things like make custom powerups for them and custom hazards to kill the player and you can force the player to move up and down tubes ETC using logic. however this pretty much means the level is forced to be single player as more then 1 playable sackbot would take up to much thermo. *mew

Sounds interesting. After I put the finishing touches on my Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Cars remake I might be up for this. I'm mainly a logic guy myself but I can write some ******* drum parts in the music sequencer and you'll soon see from the nearly published level that I like to play around with unusual gameplay ideas. Can't say I'm great with cutscenes though. Will probably be able to do 2-3 evenings a week average and regarding sackbots, I much prefer a player controlled sackbot to have access to the logic. 4 player may still be possible with enough thermo tricks

I'd like to help with gameplay. All I have is my unfinished level (yeah the one in my sig), which kinda shows that I try to experiment with certain gameplay styles. Though I will admit that I won't be on much, if that's okay with you.

This project sounds cool! I'm average with costumes, and do pretty well on them. I would like to help with that (if I even could), but a friend and I have been working an a project together also, so I'm kinda busy. I do think this is cool though.
