Incredible Idea: Art Deco

Archive: 11 posts


I've been contemplating this for a very long time, but I've never gotten around to doing it because I can never find people who have the time to help with things like logic or music or just general creating help. My idea is to create a very beautiful level (maybe series) revolving around a rather dark, dieselpunk styled art deco world. I'm just looking for two, maybe three people who have skills with logic and music creation who would be willing to pull this idea together with me.


Here are some reference images for those of you who don't know what art deco is or just want to look at pretty pictures:

So now that you have visuals of what I'm thinking of, here is some sound to enrich the environments! A lot of the music I think of is Jazz from the 1940s-50.

So... Is this a good idea? Story developments might come sooner if I see that people would like to see this come to life. And if you're interested in helping, then please do! <3

Here is some concept level art and some propaganda stickers I made!

Holla,

I have some experience in makin' music with the sequencer. You can check out my creations on my planet, though I've never composed something like jazz or blues ...

I'd like to help you on this one. Just PM me here or send me an ingame-comment on my profile.

Always enjoy this style. I'm actually playing Bioshock AGAIN for the something like the 7th time.

It is definitely a good idea. It seems very doable in the game, if at large thermo cost. I can't help but encourage you to go for it.

I'm looking to pick up a new project. I have one that I'm about ready to either abandon all together or shelf until I can think of a new path for it I don't like the current path. been working on about 3 moths of advanced logic for it so simple logic will be a nice change.2012-09-12 13:28:00

Wow. So many dark and gritty projects everywhere I look. While I'll likely enjoy what you come up with, I can't help but comment on the "let's see how far we can get away from the light playful feel in which LBP was packaged" trend that I am seeing in so many peoples projects. I know variety is the spice of life, but (unless I'm just not looking in the right places) it seems like my bright playful projects are in the minority. Sure, I'm working on a murder mystery board game, but with tongue in cheek attitude and LBP style.

Sorry. Back on topic. If you can make your levels as amazing as the reference images, I will be happy to oggle your work. I like dark and moody too, I guess I didn't think it would be the major direction taken by community creators.

It's probably just me. When all my friends were reading Batman and X-Men comics, I was reading Mad and Crack'd... (I didn't get into hero comics until later)

I'll stop here, since I appear to be veering off course again.

The sarcasm is strong with this one.

Irony creates it, makes it grow.
Its energy surrounds us and
binds us. Luminous thinkers are
we, not this crude chatter.

Your concept art is absolutely amazing! I've got a feeling this level will turn out to be awesome. Although I'm not a logical Titan of knowledge, send me a PM here or add me in-game (IGN: Hate_Humiliation) and I'll help you in any way I can with the logic side of things. I also favour myself to be a skilled LBP artist (in-game objects), so if your needing a bit of help with that, don't hesitate to ask!

Thanks!
