[LBP1] Ideas and Projects [Archive]

Level by the Top Community Creators (Who felt like doing it)

Archive: 288 posts

Here is the idea. We will get a total of about 10 creators to work together and create a single level.

Here is the plan. After enough people have volunteered and the nominations are made the order in which it goes to each creator will be randomly decided. There will be no space or thermometer limitations. Each creator will time themselves for approximately 1-2 hours whichever we decide on. At the end of the time limit that user will wrap up whatever they were doing, submit the level as copyable and the next in line will download it. This process will repeat until every designated user has had a chance to create. The first creator will be responsible for setting the theme and story and for this reason will be allotted 3 hours. The last creator will be responsible for wrapping the entire project up with a neat little bow and for this reason will be allotted 3 hours also. The themes and quality will clash and hopefully create something bearable. The time restrictions are flexible. When it is done if popular vote deems it satisfactory it will be released on a neutral PSN created for this purpose. The creators will be listed in the description as well as in a dialog box at the opening and ending of the level. If you are interested post here, if I wouldn't recognize you please show some credentials. This project is fairly lighthearted so don't expect me to be angry or anything if you are behind schedule or something. It's purpose is to have fun and take a break from other projects. And it will probably end up very random when it's done.

Here is the order:

Mrgenji 1st Done

Dorien Done

Code Done

Voltiare Done

Oldage Done

Sonic5411 Done

Elbee23 Pending Start

NinjaMicWZ

Jaeyden

TJapan

Hexagohn 11th

I just picked a person and rolled a 12 sided die with the exception of mrgenji and yarbone. It is rather flexible so if there are problems don't be shy. Also if you received an invitation but just now got it it's not to late.

I'm In, sounds like a ton of fun, i know it's random, but in case you didnt notice, im in japan, so my two hours should be night time for any american's out there.

if i were to throw my 2 cents in, i'd say lighting and background responsibility should be laid on the initiator, so that everyone can get into the feel of the level the right way.

Music should be laid on the person who ends the level, since he will have access to the final product first, and can lay down the sounds where they fit best.

If you create an object/enemy/trap/hazard the sound effects should be your job as well.

Any objections? I know its lighthearted, but i'd hate to be the jerk who messed up someone's job by placing the wrong sound or switching up the background and lighting to something that it wasn't meant to be...

Because if you guys will, i won't be able to participate because i don't own the MGS pack, and I'm unable to buy it :/

sign me up. This sounds like a great time. one question though? should we lock our portion of a level when we make it copyable and then send the key to the person who is next in line? I'd hate to have some random stranger out there taking our ideas/hard work.

oh and i have one last request ... if Catiers and I are to take on this task. Please please please don't make us go first or last. We both work full time jobs and don't get too much time for level making. We actually will have to decline this if we do have to go first or last, so please let us know as soon as possible, as we are VERY eager to be a part of this. ^_^

oh, and I think I already have an idea for this!

That's just fine, you will not need to be first or last. I think we should lock the level, put the key in a passworded level I guess. Somone posted a password system here a few weeks ago. Would MGS content prevent yarbone from copying it? If it would he could go earlier on allowing those after him to use MGS content freely.

you can also send the key to someone... which might be easier. ... and yes, it would prevent yarbone from copying it since materials from the mgs pack are used. perhaps he should go first, and then it wouldn't be a problem?

Lol its not a big deal, we can work around it fairly easily. I agree the MGS has some nice decorations and such that can be applied into most themes. Yarbone could you go either first or second? I will generate the order some time tomorrow probably. I want to give people a little more time to decide if they are interested.

I'm not in charge of the project, so i don't know if you can go second or not, but if you have to go first, stories aren't that hard.

For instance...: A giant space tiger comes from the planet of chocolate. What does he want? Crystals from the depths of ghost cavern! Are you brave enough to venture into ghost cavern? can you make it there before the space tiger does?

^_^ See? lol.

I'm happy with either, I feel there are some things we should agree on before we start though (like the background, lighting, Tone - or any other global options etc)

and as for the theme, even though its going to be a mishmash of styles, a general theme will be needed if only to save thermo...imagine if everyone used different materials

I actually didn't know that made a difference. We could either decide before hand or just have the guy that goes first decide on theme.

i kinda think we should decide beforehand... just because there are certain themes that would turn certain people off. like, i'd probably be turned off by a military themed level. or we could make it something general like "a forest" or something like that.

however, even if we are limited to materials, stickering can do wonders. ^_^

I agree with letting the first guy set the theme and all that, but I was just curios say if the first guy did everything in total darkness? It would kind of force the hand of everyone else, though I suppose its nothing a good bit of lighting wouldn't fix

.....

come to think of it, I have an idea for the theme that would let everyone do it however they liked.....mwhahaha

can I go first?

I have no objection if it would really allow them to do it however they want it. Sounds like just what we need. Will it be thermo friendly overall? Anyone that has any objection post or PM me or whatever. Oh and Voltiare, good to have you.

I say it should be fairly thermo friendly if no-one gets too zealous

Do I have to tell you what it is or can it be a surprise?

EDIT: ahh ok then

I've been toying with this idea for a while after making a monster for the LBP RPG, now the easiest way to describe this is the film "pagemaster" (epic film by the way)

Your sack person has gone into the library for some arbitrary reason and finds himself falling into books (bare with me I'm thinking as I go), this isnt as bad as it seems as it:

A. gives you a chance to recreate some great (all be it short) stories if you want
B. give each creator their own little "worldlet" to work with
C. Fits alot of themes, if your a a puzzler type it could be a book of riddles, if your the colours and fun platformer type it could be a children's book or if you want to run around and shoot things it could be a war novel or spy fiction. To be honest it could be whatever you want.

Personally I like this theme (Duh I thought of it), but im not glued to it - I'm happy to try something else or scrap the idea entirely

so..opinions?

This is a GREAT idea. I think it's brilliant. That way, everyone can use their own style with out having to make their style fit into a level theme that doesn't fit. ^_^

I think it's a great idea. Shall we go ahead and say its a different book for each player? Also mrgenji can you open without use of the MGS content?

The name kinda depends on how the story ends up, since the story will likely take many twists and turns as it is passed through the creators we should avoid naming it for now. Probably just title the level LBPCentral Creator's Project. Also I posted the randomly generated order on the first page. If there are any problems or anything let me know.

This sounds like a very interesting idea, kind of like Chinese Whispers if you know that game at all. Someone whispers a long and unusual phrase in the first person's ear, like "When I go to the oven, I find that pumpkins and cheese never mix. And when I cross my legs, I often cross my elbows."

That person whispers what they think they heard to the next person, who whispers what they think they heard to the next person, and so on and so on. When it gets to the last person, they say to everyone what they thought they heard. It might be something like "When I open a channel, I poke popcorn all over the place. Then I become angry and give up."

It's quite funny to try. But that's what this might end up as. It looks like quite an interesting collection of creators with all sorts of different skills, specialties and directions. Some also have different levels of platforming skills as well, so the difficulty at the end should be interesting indeed.

I agree that some sort of password level key thing might be good. Maybe the first person could have one set up, make it copyable by anyone, and then have a second one which actually has the key. Then we can all copy that password system, change it to a different code, put the new key in, and PM the next person that it's ready.

If you make the copy system with the key in it copyable though, well, then anyone can get the key. :blush:

Oh yes, TLDR: Sure, I'm in.

Great idea! Dividing it up into many little stories will be awesome! If it's OK with everyone else, I'd like to shotgun doing a 'horror' story.

I already have an idea for it in my head... I'll start sketching it and fleshing it out in a bit!

Just a thought... if people are going to be telling stories, you might want to check out the level "Marazs Talking Tool" by Maraz_Matari since it gives you a device to let you string together speech bubbles and produce conversations between characters easily.

I also reckon the level should be formatted in a way so that each section is introduced, giving a book title and author. You could have a large book that seperates each section and have it say (for example) "The Tower of Evil by Avatar_of_Chaos" (I'll be sure to use a much more interesting title, I just put a generic horror title in there as an example) This would show which sections were completed by which creators, and let the player know that the level would change theme from that point onwards, and give a sense of consistency amongst all the randomness.

EDIT: I think we'll need to relax the whole '2/3 hour limit' thing, since I think that's far too short a time. I reckon as long as everyone just uses a relatively small section of the available space, it should be OK. And as long as people don't just limit themselves from working left to right, and build ideas above others and connect by a lift for example...

And in case I'm asked, it's midnight where I am so don't expect me to carry on with the level through the night!!!

Oddly enough chaos thats what I've done, with a floating book I like to call "Wordworth"

EDIT:

TEA BREAK!

some info so far, the lighting is midnight, the darkness is about a 1/4 of the way

Materials used so far:

dark wood
dissolve
checked concrete
Dark matter
plain glass

1/4 of the thermo full

(but I'm reducing it as I go along)

I suggest you all plan your mini stories (time is your enemy) , and if we're going to have to return to the library after each one aim them horizontally rather than vertically. (though there is plenty of room both ways, theres more horizontal than vertical)

ok....back to work!

Mine is going to be Crystal Cavern themed, if that is all right. I would like to use the rough concrete if at all possible.

i don't know if a whole story for each book could be done in 2 hours. Could the various books possibly blend into one another? Like you go through the horror one for a little bit and then it changes into mine or someone else's? just a thought.

actually, you could possibly do it where you go into the library and someone says "it's awful! all the stories in all the books got mixed up! " and then you have to go through a portion of each of them, if that makes any sense. that way we could stick with the time limit. Cause I know that I don't have enough time to do a whole story.

I wouldn't assume that an ENTIRE story could be told with each section... for my idea, it would take place AFTER the important events, and diary excerpts (or whatever I end up using) are scattered to give a gist of what's happened previously.
I get your idea, (I think) where the story will go, "and then sackboy stumbled upon an abandoned ruin" and then the next section... Something like that?

EDIT: Anyway... I'm off to bed now. Will come back to the thread some time tomorrow.

Well, I would not want to be too rushed. I can do something in a short period of time, but my specialties are complex engineering using physics and general overall story telling rather than simple platforming. I'm just not a quick three jump platform creator.

Maybe set a guide line time, like recommending 2-3 hours but in reality taking "a few hours", but not several days. Maybe when your turn comes up and you access it you have one "work period" to do your thing. And I would not necessarily want to see this back to back in terms of real world time creating. We all have different time zones so it would be a pain to co-ordinate and people's time would go if they are not online. Just don't spend a week on it, just work quickly and hand it to the next person when your turn comes up.

That's what I'm thinking.

How about 1 day maximum work period? So when the previous creator and the next creator are both on, the time begins and before 24 hours has passed he/she must pass it onto the next creator?

If that's the case if I can get it friday night after school I can stay up for several hours instead of forcing myself to finish quickly in 1-2 hours

OK, a few new people to be added, welcome Elbee23 and NinjaMicWZ. I like the maximum 1 day of work time. That way you dont have to play for a solid 3 hours or something. Also, keep in mind there are 14 of us. That means your average gameplay time for your section should be somewhere around 2 minutes. 2 x 14 = 28 minutes which is a decent length level. Also realize the thermo fills faster at the start. Also if any of you have read my blog (Yeah right lol) you don't need a special device to time out dialog, although I had made one. With 1 motion sensor switch it will play them out in the order it's attatched to the mouths.

yep thats the way I run them, I know the thermo fills faster at the start but I feel that it might be pushed a bit too much with 14 people, the levels will have to be simple (ish) then, no overloading emitters or things like that...meh we'll see when we get there

I like the "we get a day to work on it" idea, too. but what do we do if our turn comes and we can't do our portion of the level on that particular day? for instance, Thursday and Friday evenings are out for me, unfortunately...

I have some family obligations on those days.

if 14 people are too many, i'll gladly step down, just let me know. ^_^

Yeah it will be harder on the last few, thats one of the reasons I put myself last. I don't think 14 is to many. It is a pretty lighthearted project, if it comes your turn and you can't we can pass it to the next or just wait til you can. Its not a big deal to reschedule. The order was almost completely random lol

Hmm mrjengi part of me wants it to be a surprise. I think I will go with that part. I sent Yarbone a PM saying you would probably send the key to him soon. I think he is asleep however.

Right it all works, and is locked and published, it took 3 hours 45min (ish) according to http://stopwatch.onlineclock.net/

It's basically just an introduction, theres a small puzzle part but nothing major

I tried (and probably failed) to take MicWiz's sense of drama and add some of Hex's spiffy dialog....

to be honest im just happy I managed to make a level out of 4 materials

I eagerly await the final products...now its 3:06am and I need sleep....ZzZzZzZz

EDIT:

oh and its a minor point of continuity, but like chaos suggested theres a floating book called wordsworth included. is job is to be put at the start of each level to tell you what the level is called and who created it. So you know...use him ^^

DOUBLE EDIT:
*sigh* wont let me publish...ill try again tomorrow....stupid LBP...*grumble grumble*

ok its published now, also 00th post woo *I'm going to stop now as this is becoming dangerously close to spam

yeah, I guessed that - we could all build very limited levels or perhaps split it into 3 "chapters" 5 people each seems good

If space is going to be an issue (and it will), I will only do one room with pretty much no story. It will just be a intermission from the rest of the level lol.

I'm with Voltiare. I also would only like to do one small room with maybe one game mechanic, if possible.

unfortunately, time is a huge issue for me, and I'd like to give the people who have more time more thermometer space to work with!

Ok now i was supposed to be next, right...
well it didn't really go as i planned, i had enough time this morning but something happened that kept me from finishing my part. I already was at 60% of my part. Then I came at some glueing problems. And I had to start all over again, then again i made the same i did before, but then i had to stop... the main problem was the situation at home. I won't go into further details, because it would be just as boring as reading youtube comments.

So i planned to do it this morning, i got some isues and now i'm not able to contineu...
So i decided to stop working on this project.

I really don't want to be a burden in this project, but i just can't do it within the
time-limit.
It's just always that i got homework to do, or my dad won't allow me to go on my PS3.
I've only got a few short moments a day to get to my PS3, that's also why it took 1 month for me to build 1 single frikin level.
Sorry guys i just can't continue to work on this project

Sorry to hear about you guys leaving. I took the initiative took both your names out of the OP.

We can either do one of two things from here.

1) Continue without them.

or

2) Recruit 2 more people to fill in their spots.

What do you guys think?

Ok, sorry to see those leaving go but I understand and I doubt this will be the only time this is done. I am adding Jaeyden to the list. Pass it on to the next one. Please keep in mind they are really supposed to be singular, somewhat small rooms. Like the little spoons some ice cream places give you to taste test. I believe Dorien is next so send it to him MRgenji. Sorry guys I was out all day.

I got the key at about midnight (for me) last night and worked on my bit till 6:30am lol so I is a bit tired

it's 11:20 am here and just got up. Luckily I didn't have work today

Anyway, I am virtually finish my bit and I published the new locked level before I went to bed encase it didn't save with all these bugs around.

I'm gonna see if I can get on my PS3 in a while to tie it up and send it on. But I'm gonna have to try and do this without getting into a massive argument with the missus, as she is 3 days overdue with our second child and her and our little girl are watching kids programmes on the tv.
I usually only get to play my PS3 after 10-11PM when my missus and kid have gone to bed.
That's why I never get to sleep:eek:

But we did say we have 24hours right ????
So if I don't get to put it on till tonight, then I will still be within the rules
*tries not to break rules as Code will Infract

*

Anyway I managed to make my section only using about 1 block of the thermometer. My section is completely different from what MrJenji did in the first section (which btw the way he did an awesome job of setting the scene, and showed the idea for the level excellently and I was very impressed with his work

)
My section has no story whatsoever but shows from the beginning that you are gonna be taken from book to book and it changes the world drastically with what book you are reading.
I completely forgot about this project and never even noticed any posts after mine in the thread until MrJenji PM'ed me to say it was my go lol
So I had no plan whatsoever and it does feel a bit daunting taking over someone else's work

I got straight to it and have just made a little platforming section.

Just a note to others in this project.
Be very careful when making your sections and always make sure you rewind after playtesting in create mode as you can easily put other peoples work out of sync if your not concentrating.
For example I cut a little bit of concrete out of MrJenjis corner of his section that was way off the viewing area to put a light for my bit. But it must of been where his supported the suspended level with Dark Matter. When I went into play mode to try out a bit I was doing. His section fell to bits and things came crashing down all over the place lol
It scared the ****************** out of me

But I realised what had happened and just put a little bit of dark matter above my light and it was all completely fine again

I added basic polystyrene to the list of materials and the object fancy cloud from the scenic section of your popit. I managed to make my whole section just using them 2 things and the dark matter already used

Try to think about using the materials already used if possible to not make the thermometer raise too much.

So I think the list is now:

Dark Wood
Dissolve
Dark Matter
Plain Glass
Checked Concrete

and added by me.....

Basic Polysyrene
OBJECT: Fancy Cloud

Can't remember if MrJenji used any pre-made objects
If you do remember maybe you should list them dude, so we keep on top of this as it's gonna be hard with the Thermometer

I'll try and get mine finished and sent on as soon as I can today

Oh sorry Dorien, I didn't know you were on euro time hehe, I'm fairly sure the time limits are that forceful - as Hex keeps saying this is a lighthearted thing

I think the only thing I used that wasn't custom were lights, the light bulb and LED

To be honest my level is Dissolve - the bell is dissolve, the wall panels, the windows, the books - lol, I never realised what you could achieve with good stickering

Did you sign the book Dorien? We want people to know who made the next great segment...speaking of that, who is next?

Im next on the list

I've got a pass from the missus to quickly go on my PS3 now for a bit to finish this off and I'll send you a friends request in a mo.
Don't know if you are able to get on to accept it. But if you do then I'll send you the key to the new Locked level

I'm gonna keep the version I have until this is all over encase something goes horribly wrong when others are doing something and we have to revert back to an earlier version for some reason.
(this has probably not been done very much before and you never know if were gonna run into any new bugs no one has come across before.

I suggest that everyone keeps they're version until it's fully finished just as a precaution (if you have space for it in your 20 level upload limit that is)

Anyway, off to the land on PS3

Yeah thanks for the move Quozl. Good work Dorien and yeah the time restrictions arent a big deal especially if you only use a bar. Everyone has 1 bar of thermo I don't know why I didn't just limit it like that before. Send it to Trap T when you can and get some sleep for goodness sakes. Anyway I am at school and off to my next class. Later

I've returned! Finally...
Just an idea... if people want to speed things along it might be an idea to create what you plan to include in your own time, and then save it as an object, or perhaps split it up and save as 2 or 3 objects, and then when it comes to your turn you can just plonk your creation down and fill in the gaps around it to make it fit into the level more appropriately. Given that we'll only be creating relatively small sections, I think this might be something worth considering. I'll see if I can spend a couple of hours making what I plan to include tonight, and when I'm finished you could pass it on to me, and then I'd have completed my little bit quickly.
On another note... I'm thinking that 14 (or whatever it is now) is a bit too much for one level... (Both as a constraint on the thermometer, and a constraint on the creator's creations) Perhaps we could make it a 2 parter linked by keys?

My original plan was to fit it all in and just have rather small sections. It seems that is quite difficult to do however and I think a 2 parter may be in order. What do you guys think? I havent even seen what the thermo is at.

Yup, I say it's best to plan it as a 2 parter NOW and not have to rush things towards the end trying to sort it out. I reckon after 1/2 the total creators have made their section a new level is worked on. I think this would be better than fitting as much as possible into 1 level and then having the 2nd level be made up of the 'left overs'.

I dont see why not, Id say we could fit 6 people in a level quite easily if everyone is considerate with their thermo use

so code should be the last for the first section then?

Also I'm starting to regret going first, its given me really itchy feet to see whats going on...no...must wait.....ARRRRG

Yeah make code the last on part 1. That being the case he can use as much thermo as is left. We should probably hold off on starting part 2 til we see where part 1 finishes. Also my vote is that we release them simultaneously.

No man, you REALLY made a good start

Yarbone's right. You did an excellent job on the Library. It sets the level off brilliantly.

Itchy feet hey lol
And to think I was gonna ask you earlier if you wanted the key to see how it was going lol
That would've been hard for you to resist

What do people think about the idea of publishing the level twice. One would be locked and copyable. Obviously this is the one that only the next creator gets the key to, to make the new section.
But the second publish would be locked still but not copyable. This would be for the creators to be able to play what is already made and get a better idea of how it is working and give some inspiration on what they're section might be ????????? We would just send out keys to those who request it. Also for the people that have already made they're section can get the key also to see how it's progressing.

Just an idea

As for Dorien it sounds like a good idea to me but im not sure if its neccesary. For me half the fun will be pulling something together after I see what everything else is. However if it would help people make the level better I think we owe it to the public lol

On a personal note, how do you open objects that you have received?

2009-01-24 21:10:00

Author:

Posts: 646

To send object your need to select the object under "my creations2 and there should eb an option to "Send to friend"

this basically means if you want to send objects you need to do 2 things:

A. The person must be on your friends list
B. the item must be captured at some point (for example you cant send keys directly, you have to capture them then send them)

------------

Also with the introduction of the new "thank you" feature - I'm sure you all want to thank hex for bringing us together on this

Alright, well I royally suck. While creating my part of the level I somehow managed to break Voltiare's part, so I restarted.

Now after spending a good 2 or so hours, I played through it and now dorien's part is broken also >_>

I don't want to restart again, even if I did, I have to study for my physics exam tomorrow, and I'm busy the rest of the week... so I guess I'm out >_> unless I can join in at a later time.

Who's next?

EDIT: another reason I don't want to restart is because the level is close to the ground ATM, so I can't do what I want with Moby Duck ): so who ever goes before me, try to raise the level quite a bit away from the ground please ^^

Hey hex, would it be possibly to get people marked on the main list to say who's done it - it would make seeing who's next so much easier

Ok I added Done in bold next to the names of those who have already done there portion. Tell me if there are any inaccuracies. I added TJapan (again) and I believe next is Avatar of Chaos and if he requested a later time it is Oldage's turn. As for a preview if you sent us the key to the level we can look at it and plan thus speeding up the process. The only hard part would be getting everyone on your friends list because then you can send a mass message with the key attatched.

Yes it is now Avatar of Chaos' turn so send him a PM whoever worked on it last I believe it was Voltiare? If he can't do it ATM and Trap T still doesn't want to it is Oldage's turn. So it is now Avatar of Chaos' turn.

Well I sent him a PM the other day and he hasnt responded. I am officially skipping him. He can join in later if he wishes. I will send a PM to Voltiare asking him to send it to the next guy. I have no intention of letting this project close before it finishes. If a lot of people stop responding like it seems Avatar has we can just reduce it to 1 level so no worries. So Oldage expect to get the key soon. Maybe PM Voltiare your PSN.

Well i have my way of madness level, even if it's a little to unbalanced and i couldn't fix the problems due to thermometer issues. But hopefully it should give you an idea about my skill as creator. And please take in consideration that it is my first level and that I've learned pretty much since then.

YAY at last lol

I kept up the support and pushed Hex to give Avatar one last chance and then skip him for now

At the end of the day, if people can't respond to PM's after a few day's and haven't made any comments to the thread or are not that active then they can be skipped to get this moving and let some of the creators involved (that are actually keeping an eye on this and willing to put some time into it to get it finished). Then some of the skipped creators that get back to hex can still get their chance but nearer the end

I think you need to go into create mode and if you look in the menu there you will se a section called "LBP messages" click view messages and then chose the right one and click on the attached file.

(you may be able to do it outside create mode, haven't checked myself)

You can send objects to people who are offline but on your friends list. I don't think you necessarily recieve an in game or XMB bar message saying you have recieved an item if you were offline, but if you are expecting one, it should still turn up in your LBP message thing, accessed by pressing start anywhere.

Whoa!!!! What? Heck to the no its not dead. Yes it is going to get finished and it would take at least 15 well armed ferret men to change that. If we need to we can just skip Neverynnal. Speaking of skipping another person I have not yet heard from any of the people who were delayed. I am officially removing them from the queue. This thing is taking a little longer than I prefer now and I would appreciate some hustle lol. I will PM sonic and tell him to send it to someone else. From now on I will personally PM your PSN telling you its your turn next and if you dont respond to either that PM or say something here within 24 hours I will have you skipped. This should at least speed up the rate at which we discover if your available. To be clear once you are skipped you can still participate you are just bumped back in the queue.

Oh, I must have missed this post. Neverynnal dropped out lol, oh well little harm done and my mistake. Sonic needs to send it to Elbee23.

I just checked my PS3 account and have recieved a key from Sonic. I'll have to see about getting the level to work and contributing to it tomorrow. I don't have time to put in a good amount of work on it today, but I should be able to budget the time for it tomorrow and then get it ready for the next person.

So no, it's not dead. It's just skipped a person.

I've already got Ninja on my friends list, so it should be a relatively quick transition.

I'll just have to think up something creative, but I'll have to see how things are going first and use that for inspiration.

I sent a XMB message to Sonic and I'll send a PM to him as well as writing here...

I recieved the key and downloaded the latest version of the level. I am not able to edit it though, as it says that I don't have some of the content that is found within the level. I have the MGS level pack and the Christmas pack, but I don't have the Valentine's day or God of War sticker packs. I don't think any of the other downloadable content has stuff that effects create mode.

Has someone included stickers from those packs in the level? Could you edit the level to remove the non-compatible parts, Sonic?

It looks like we are experiencing yet more delays unforuntately.

But no, the project is not dead by any means. It's just moving slower than initially planned. :blush:

And a note for other people planning similar things, be aware of what content you are using, especially if it's downloadable content. Some of it's very obvious, like the paintinator, but sometimes stickers can be used in subtle ways and you are not even aware of it. :eek:

If we can find the cause of the problem and fix it within a day, then I should be able to do my section within the next day or two.

I did have a play through of what we have so far. I died when I got up to Code's bit, but what I saw up to that point looked very promising.

If we can't work out what the offending bit is, I could be skipped over. But if it's something obscure like from the Valentine's day pack hiding away in a forgotten corner, and not everyone has that expansion and can no longer obtain it... well, we might have some big problems.

I'll have to try the level again. If I see anything really out of place in future play through's I'll point it out.

plus you can tell you spent like two seconds on your part because it looks like crap. This is suposed to be the top creators project so why dont you act like a top creator.

I would appreciate it if this comment was deleted. We are here to have fun and while I strongly encourage you to do a good job what defines a section as good cannot be decided by one person. Besides, I permitted him to join the project for the purpose of him influencing the level. I accept responsibility in that respect and I ask you to acknowledge that fact. If you have any issues regarding the content or quality of another creators section please PM me. With delays and whatnot the last thing we need is an argument in the thread.

Now, the issue with the sticker incompatibility. I recommend we do 1 of 2 things. First we can try to identify the issue and remove it, we can then add it again after if it is significant or if it is not leave the level without. This would keep the order and everything straight. Second we can identify how many of the other creators have these packs and have them finish the first level and have us people who don't have these booster packs make the second.

If the incompatible materials are insignificant to the quality of the level please remove them. If they are significant we will have to go from there. For now, anyone who can recall using materials from either the Valentines Pack or the God of War pack please let us know. I do not have either of these packs and I wont be able to track down the problem myself so I will need some help from you guys.

I have all of the packs, so if you need someone to run through and try to find them, Hex, this weekend, we can work on getting that done if you like. send me a psn message, we can bounce the level back and forth until we find the problem.

I dont have the level yet, but if someone can send me the key, we can get it worked out.

by the way, does anyone know how to get the attachments off of a psn sent message?

Well sonic is the one that has the published level and needs to send the key out so you's can try and find something that is in it from them packs that he could maybe take out.

I've played the level from when Oldage finished his bit, but I deleted the key yesterday when the 'couldn't save your profile' message came up yet again

.

Hope we can sort this out

I've been sent a new key from Sonic which hopefully has fixed the problem.

I'm hoping for my pain levels to settle down enough to work on the level today. If not today then tomorrow at the latest. If I haven't been able to give it a go by then I'll pass on to Ninja.

If I'm still getting a content error message I'll let people know as well, but hopefully the problem has been fixed.

So that's the current status of the project.

Yeah I think next time about 5 players per level would be good. For now though lets just finish it lol BTW thanks sonic that was a pretty quick response and hopefully fixed the issue.

It's good to see progression in such a project

I do have one tiny question though, did you guys use the library-idea? I thought somewhere in the beginning it was said to have Sackboy live trough different "stories" . Each one made by a different creator.

Yeah do you still use it?
I think that we non Top Community Creators (Who felt like doing it)would generally like to get more info on this project

, maybe someone could post some screenshots or at least tell us a little about how the progress is going

.
Please...

I had a look at the work yesterday to make sure I could access it. I was too sick to work on it then but should be good to work on it today. The sticker conflict error has been fixed so I was able to view the level in edit mode and should be fine to continue the level.

Everything is looking great. Though I haven't had a chance to work through all the different play mechanics, from what I saw it's a very interesting and varied collection of different people's creation styles.

I had a look at the thermometer though and there were only 5 small tabs left to fill. In light of this I have thought up a way to end the level while still allowing the potential for a continuing series. We have also hit the physical end of the level, Sonic already needed to build up to fit in the area to continue. We are just running of thermometer and physical space to add any more creators to the current level.

I'll wrap up the level roughly, in that I'll put my bit in which leads to the scoreboard. I've considered the idea of a master villian, "The Librarian", and further developed some of the initial ideas that were put in by Mrgenji. The plan is to further develop the themes of the library, master book, and the reason behind all the different worlds.

I won't be completely wrapping up the story as a whole though. The Librarian is kind of a coward, like the Collector from the main story. You won't be fighting him directly the first time you meet him, and you won't be stopping his grand plans on this first encounter. Actually, you will be making it worse, furthering the need for a sequel.

After I'm done doing my rough bit, I'll send level keys to NinjaMicWZ, Hexagohn and Mrgenji. The idea is that Ninja should be able to take the themes developed and start out a new level, a sequel that carries on from the old one.

I'll leave Hexagohn to do all the final bug hunting, level balancing, level description and general editing, and send him a PM with some suggestions from what I have seen.

Finally, I'll send one to Mrgenji too so we can make sure I haven't completely gone off the track from where the level and idea was started.

I should be okay to work on it today and then send off the level keys to the appropriate people. Once Hexagohn has finished polishing the work we should be able to release the first level to the general public.

We need to be considering though where we will be hosting the levels. I could speak to the rest of the staff and we might be able to put them on the LBPC account, but I would need to get permission to do so first. We might get some extra plays and publicity if we go down this path as that will be where the "Survive This!" stage 2 will be held.

You might also want to begin preparing a list of creators for another round of micro-levels to be made for the sequel. We still have a few people on the current list, but judging by the number of people we fit into the first one, you might want to be recruiting some more people.

I'll put another message on here when I am done with the level creating.

Excellent, wrapping up the first bit here is just fine. I will be happy to do the final editing. Thanks Elbee for getting that sorted out so nicely. If we can publish it on the LBPC account that would be great, if not I can make one specifically for group projects on this forum. I will be sure to make a cool icon and description so we can hopefully get a decent amount of plays. I am not sure less people in the second one will be a bad thing. I will look into recruiting a few more and I will talk to the people who were originally in the project to see if they have the time now.

just throwing out an idea, if you dont like it i understand, but i was thinking we could like send the key of the finished product to everyone who participated in part 1 and then they publish it that way it will get more plays and hearts.......... just an idea:hero:

Hmmmm, not a bad idea for sure. I will have to think about it for a bit. The issue is that there would be 15 copies of this level, it would really not be fair if one of us ended up with a copy of the level on the front page or something.

Also, OCK has agreed to join us for part 2! I think part 2 is going to end up really good and the addition of OCK to our crew can only help. I think most people here probably know him but if you dont he is a great creator and several of his levels have been featured on this forums Community Spotlight. I sent a PM to NinjaMicWZ, Jaeyden and TJapan reminding them of the project and I really hope they are still planning to participate. They are all great creators as well.

Ya but i was thinking that in the description we would tell people to go play the levels of:

list of all creators who participated in the part

Yah know what im saying?

That way if one person gets like a million plays it people see our names and go play our levels and then we will all be famous.

I just spoke to CC about the LBPC PSN hosting the series. He said that should be fine. Hexagohn, if you could add ConfusedCartman to your PSN and then send him the level key when it's all polished it should be okay to host the level there.

I've gone and built a book monster and the Librarian, and have stripped down Mrgenji's section to try and keep the start and end similar enough in design. I've got a rough script written in my head as well.

Stay tuned for more updates!

Cool, since your the wrap up for this part go ahead and take your time to make it right. There isn't much need to rush. Within reason obviously.

Well, I'm having another bad day pain wise. I just haven't been able to concentrate enough to create what I need to do. I'll be busy with two meetings tomorrow, but I'll see what I can do. I'll have a few hours here and there were hopefully I can concentrate.

I have got all the bits and pieces together though, so it should just be a matter of putting it all together. Stay tuned for more updates.

Wish I did a bit more with my section now really as I was trying to only use 1 small block of the thermometer to squeeze everyone in lol but i guess it was pretty unique and set the stage of randomness that became our level

I just wanted the first book to really get into the players head that each book that was opened took you off to a completely different world (pretty sure I succeeded in that lol)
Can't wait to see how the rest has turned out (I've played up to the end of Oldage's section)
The next level is gonna be pretty special by the looks of the creators in that one (if those greedy creators don't gobble up the thermo with they're amazing visuals they always provide

)
