41730 Hey guys, I'm making a level called Spartacus: The RPG. It's based on the tv series that has been airing for quite some time now. The first season got released in 2010. It's about a gladiator called Spartacus. He is sent to a Ludos, where he meets other gladiators, and befriends them, but some he doesn't. As he fights his way up to Grand Champion, he plans a plot to escape the Ludos and eradicate the Roman Empire. Some of the main characters are; Gannicus, who was once the Grand Champion but had gotten the privileged to be free. Crixus, who is a ghoul, and the strongest one of that, once was a Grand Champion but had got beaten by Spartacus. Oenamaus, he is the Doctore of the Ludos. He is also a very skilled fighter, he has beat Crixus and Spartacus in a sword fight. Now that I have summoned up a brief description of what Spartacus is about for those who have not watched or heard about. It is time to move onto the RPG itself. I have been working on the Spartacus RPG for around a month or two, and it is nearly finished, I'm nearly at the stage of releasing a BETA for it. In the Spartacus RPG, it allows you to role-play, or progress through the story of the game. Their are many different paths you can take for your gladiator. You could become the Grand Champion of Capua, or you could become the leader of the slave army. Fighting against the Romans. Or you could totally mixed it up, and choose your own unique path. It is all up to you. I have really tried to make it that you are privileged to do what ever you want. As if you were actually their. I have made a tutorial at the beginning of the level, and then I have also made an optional advanced tutorial. So far, I have made all of the ludus, and created the CPU's in the ludus. I have also made the arena from the Spartacus: Gods of the Arena season, and also the Grand Arena from Spartacus: Blood and Sand. As you progress in the arena, you'll gain bigger ranks, starting from a brawler, all the way up to the Grand Champion. Also, as time passes by, from morning, to night, certain characters will arrive and certain events will open up. At first if you walk a bit to the left of the outside of the ludus, you will see the Grand Arena being constructed, and eventually it does get finished, and you are able to progress further with your gladiator career. Eventually at the first arena, the fights stop, and you are unable to progress through the ranks. When you kill certain characters, or activate certain triggers, what are illegal to a slave. Guards will come from everywhere, a LOT of guards. It's extremely hard to kill them all single handed, but if you have other online players playing with you. They will make it so much easier. I have really tried to make this RPG not easy what so ever. I don't expect even 5 players to become Champions (Well, it really depends how many players will play it). It requires so much patience, and a lot of skill, and knowing your surroundings. The fighting system is soooo simple, very simple. But very fun, when you get use to it. All it is to kill someone is R1, and the enemy's attack system is fire. Every now and then, they turn their body into fire, which makes it impossible to kill them, that's where patience comes in, to killing them. Certain characters have more than one life, and are so much harder to kill, for example. All of the main characters have more than 1 life, and move extremely faster than everyone else, making it a %70 chance that you would die, if you are not trained. Every one week, in real life time. Their will be an online event in the game. Where all online players come to fight in the Grand Arena, to see who will become the Grand Champion. To qualify in the online event. You first have to have the rank of Champion. So far I have had a few online players join the Gladiator RPG, only my friends. One is the rank of a Brother, the other is the rank of a Fighter. Both very low ranks. To the Role-Playing part of the game. So far you can sit down and grab your self some food, and eat under the ludus, where Gannicus, and the chief are. If you sit on the chair, I have made it you can do two types of farting sounds, and 1 type of burp. If you go further down in the ludus. You will come across the cells. Where you will have to stay every night, to avoid the guards killing you. At the cells, you can feed Barca's boyfriends pigeons. Or have fun with Barca and his boyfriend You are able to train with Crixus and Doctore up at the top of the ludos, against the training poles, or if you have an online friend with you, you could role-play fighting them. Eventually Barca arrives at the ludus, and then after, Spartacus does, and if you talk to him, he tells you about his plan to escape the ludus and destroy the Roman Empire. I have made it that Spartacus never actually escapes with all the other gladiators, so you have more choice in what to do in the RPG. Right now, I am in the development of creating all of Rome, and I am thinking of creating the forest from Spartacus: Vengeance, or if I should make a totally new level about Spartacus Vengeance. If I do make it in this RPG. I would make a new training facility their, and a new type of arena their. Like for example, every day instead of going to the arena to fight, their would be this certain area in the forest where Romans come, and they get harder to beat, as you progress further, and you start of at the rank of Grunt, to Rebel Leader. Just an example, not the actually naming of the ranks yet. Each rank up in the game, you get a certain amount of points, just like coins. If you save your points, it can unlock special events, like boss fights in the arena, like fighting Theockles. Or the twins. If you do enter Rome, guards will start trying to kill you, as if you had killed your master at the ludus, or had tried to escape the ludus. In Rome their, will be safe areas, and other events you will be able to do. That's what I have created so far. I am nearly ready to release a Beta for the level. If you are interested, please give me a message or some sort of notification about wanting in, on it.

Wow thats alot of information. I like this idea very much as it isnt something we see everyday on LittleBigPlanet (Well it would be hard making something different from Latins Copied levels, Press (X,O,triangle or Square), Zombie survivals and just generally levels that miracuasly get loads of plays and get put onto the cool pages) But it does seem like a good Idea. And i always say if you need any logic help, Im just an ask away

Thanks Awesome_Guy! ^^ P.S I will be editing this post a lot, to notify everyone with recent changes, and for more people to say what they think about it all ^^ Any one know how to make a picture visible on here? I dont want a jpeg url link. I want the picture on here. So it's easy to look at.

Hey. I have now added a quater of Capua, and I am currently making it that every building you come across is now accessible. Their will be a pub, and just some chill out room for Role-Players. I have added more gladiator fights in the Grand Arena, and two more new gladiator ranks. Rank 4: Gladiator, and Rank 5: War Killer. I am also going to be making boss fights in the little arena, since when you finish all gladiator fights their, I thought it could still be used for boss fights. Each rank up you get in the Grand Arena, you earn 100 coins, and you spend your coins on boss fights. I am thinking of doing Easter Eggs, like players could vs my gladiator, Axis, and players could vs their favorite characters, like Spartacus, Crixus etc. When you enter Capua, the Roman Soldiers will come after you, and try to kill you. If you enter a building, they will not attack you, it's kind of like a safe spot. I've been thinking of adding an online lobby. For like hard fights, it would be a level link, where players just wait their, until someone joins them on the online lobby, then they go back to their saved data on the Spartacus game. But that's just a thought. I'll think more of that sort of stuff when a Beta is released, like whether I should change the Fighting system, or how fights should be condemned. That's it for now. Cya

Man, nobody is a bigger Spartacus fan than I am and I can't even play this! My PS3 is fried. I've been wanting to do some kind of Spartacus thing for a while but nothing even remotely this ambitious. I'm a little confused about the gameplay though. Do you just use a regular sackperson or a playable sackbot?

I want to be in the beta! This is something that looks nearly impossible to make to me. Man, I so want to play it. Also, I will give you a decent review and feedback Tell me if you are interested!

Hi Reef! You just use your sackperson ^^ But for the online competition every week, you will use a sackbot, so each other are able to die. Hi Silvantor! I love getting positive attitude towards this! Makes me wanna make it more and more, and even better! I heaps would like for you to be in the Beta ^^ You can send my PSN a message, so I can add you, if you want

Have you considered using a sackbot for the whole thing? It wouldn't be Spartacus if you couldn't use a sword. I'd like to help you out with this level in some way if I could. Not sure when I'm gonna replace or fix my PS3. I've been waiting for news on that superslim PS3 but Sony still hasn't said anything about it. I thought I'd be the only one with a level that had Barca and Pietros in it. lol I started working on a Spartacus themed pinball game a while back but kinda dropped it to work on other stuff.

Sorry Reef, this level was going to be just for friends, because I make so many RPs for them, but then I thought I should share my next RP level with everyone, so I added RPG elements into it. But yeah, you can make your person have a sword if he wants to, but he won't be able to use it. Well you are role-playing so you are using it, but technically you can't. I really like the R1 system, it still requires a lot of skill. But yeah you know all them RPG's when you type in "RPG", and it just comes up with just RP's, with no actual RPG elements, just everything is based on role-play. Mines like that. But it does have a lot of interactive stuff. Play the Beta when it comes out. I reckon you will still like it! You know though. The fighting system might be able to change to what you want, if a lot of people agree with it, after they have tested the game itself. But if no one does, then... ya. Maybe one day I'll make a version where you actually use swords, bows, axes, etc, and that you can learn different skills with the weapons. I did consider that AGES ago. But I really wanted it to still have that Role-Playing touch to it. P.S I'll be updating what I have done to the Spartacus RPG soon tonight. ^^

Will there be copious amounts of profanity and naked ladies? If so, I'm in! BTW, Crixus is a "gaul" not a "ghoul".

Hi Ali_Star! ^^ I'm gonna have to add that! Just for you! XD Thanks! I learnt that after looking him up after that lol, felt embarrassed XD Haha. It won't make it past the censors if you do that! You'll have to come up with a child-friendly alternative to "Jupiter's ****"! Good luck with that. Certainly looks an ambitious project. How long have you been working on it? The project I'm working on is quite ambitious too, I've been working on it for about 6 months!

I'll queue it. @Ali_star, lol I didn't even notice he called him a "ghoul." XD How about "Jupiter's SACK!" :colossus:

It will get passed the censors haha. ^^ Jupiter's Sack is fine. ^^ But I don't know if I should even add that. There's not really any reason too. But I'm sure I'll squeeze it in somewhere.

Hey guys! Sorry I havn't been updating anyone on news, and leaving you all to think that I have abandoned this level. There is no way that I will ever abandoned it. I have just been very busy with school, and my PS3 stopped working for ages. But now I am back, but it will be very slow progress, due to school. Update: I have added about 4 more ranks I think, I can't remember, because I havn't been on for a while. have now added boss fights, so when you earn coin. You can spend it on boss fights. So far I have added like 5 or 4 boss fights. They are Axis, which is my gladiator. Varro, Crixus, Oenamaus, and Theokles. They are all beatable, I have tested that out my self. Also very bad news. I had finished all of Rome on the level, but then I noticed that it was overheating, which meant I couldn't add any more Arena/Ludos things. So I had to delete all of room, and now all that there is, is the Grand Arena, the arena from Gods of the Arena, and the Ludos. But please don't be upset. It means I am able to add so much more into that place. I will add many MANY things. Including bar fights, in the ludos, getting girl friends, any many more stuff to come. Means also, much more arena fights, more boss fights. Just more fights in general! I have added a heap of fights now in it. So it's always never the same fight, so you will never get boored, or find it to easy. But anyway, hopefully I can do more today, and I will update it tonight, or tomorrow, or sometime near in the future.

Update: I have nearly completed the Beta for Spartacus: The RPG. I have now been planning for the new Spartacus level. Which will be based on the Spartacus Vengeance series. But, instead of it being an RPG, instead it will be a survival, with the same gameplay, as the RPG. You go against many enemys, wave upon waves. It will test your gladiator to the max, to see how far you can get before you die, by the blade of a Roman. I know it sounds pretty booring, but I promise you it will be loads of fun! I am going to be making the detail so much more better than the previews Spartacus RPG. Also, it will be set in the forest. With a foggy effect to it. I don't know whether I should add the Spartacus characters to it. I havn't gotten that far ahead yet. All I have really know is that it is a wave by wave level, with an insane amount of detail. I have had thoughts, of adding a base, where the gladiators will be, like Spartacus, Crixus, Gannicus etc. There. You could restore health, or maybe buy more rebels to help you kill off the Romans. But I am still not sure of what to do, I still have to make the Spartacus RPG. Any way, I am very much looking forward to both coming out.
