Lord of the rings project

Archive: 5 posts


Hey guys,
I have just started a series of levels that are gonna tell the lord of the rings.
I intend to do 6-8 levels per book and maybe a bunch of games and side levels to go with it.

Im not worried about the amount of work to do, I love the books and I don't seem to be able to find a decent LBP copy. But if anyone has any ideas or is interested I like to here back! There will be plenty of story elements ill have to tie in and events that will need games and challenges to represent them.

Progress is quite slow but if youd like to see the project so far or show me some ideas add my psn DayWezzo.
My logic is quite messy but gets the job done, execution is quite poor tbh. I dont know much about making animals to ride and creatures to slay either! Anyone who wants to tidy up for me is more than welcome to point out where I'm going wrong.

Thanks, Dayle

Ps. No mic.

I happen to be a huge fan of both the books and the movies. Your idea sounds awesome and I particularly have been waiting for a decent representation of LOTR. Looking forward to see what ya come up with!2012-07-14 17:52:00

Sounds like a great idea , and will hopefully pay hommage to a fantastic series of books.
Yes, I'll be happy to maybe help out, if i can in some small way.
One thing, I would suggest off hand is, dont get too complex, too soon. Its all well and good to have loads of different ideas, but initially (and i'm by
all means not knocking your ideas), get the bones of your level playable first, and you can add the flashy features and that later.
Just saying that because i've seen loads of project get abandoned because people want to cram in so many ideas and lose track of the basic
gameplay....I hope I'm making sense. Really good luck though, and look forward to seeing your level.
Again, be happy to help if i can

The first level so far contains basic hobbiton layout and the first quest, deliver the final party invitations to bag end.
I figure I'm gonna have levels that hover on certain points in the story and the levels in between will cover several chapters. Mainly for gameplay value and a little structure. I'm sure the story will suffer but of I make every level to look 100% I'll need 50 levels a book! Haha

Id like to finish with a good mix of typical quest based adventure and LPB puzzle based platformer.
PSN is DayWezzo, thanks guys!

Hmmm..... well you'll want custom backgrounds like the Eye of Sauron in the background of Mordor, and of course Mount Doom. Do you have experience with the layer glitch? If not friend me and I'll help.

EDIT:
For the first level you could have Frodo, the player character, doing chores for Bilbo like clearing rats out of his basement to get to grips with combat and stuff like in a regular tutorial level.
