LBPKarting Community Contest

Archive: 53 posts


Open to all Sackfolk, so if you're a LBP creator with a dusty copy of LBPKarting and feel like joining in, please do!

https://fbcdn-profile-a.akamaihd.net/hprofile-ak-prn1/t1/c15.0.106.106/38201_102389669815531_4128317_a.jpg

Halloween Themed LBPKarting Competition

Start Date: As soon as you like!
Deadline: Midnight 26th October GMT, this gives time to play all the entries, argue a bit about it and decide on who's the winner (to be announced on Halloween, obviously). Rumour has it the Spotlight Crew may get in on the judging.

Simple rules: This MUST be an original level, ie not published previously and preferably not a reworking of a previous creation either.....we want to see new stuff please! We would also like each entry to include a created custom object to be given away at the end of your level, or in a prize bubble, whatever's your preference.

Please start your level name with the letters HW

For the winner: The bragging rights plus a possible virtual award and an almost guarantee of being Spotlighted! (if your level is showcased and the Spotlight Crew agree)


Come on, show us your pumpkins!http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5J36iHgQdEQ/TrGa4ZJ4bzI/AAAAAAAAAms/wE0HUKPKCuA/s320/sackboy_scared.png


ALL ENTRANTS, PLEASE ENSURE YOU SHOWCASE YOUR LEVEL ON PUBLISHING
Use this very informative guide by rialrees to make sure you have it looking at it's best!

We have 2 options, either we do it ourselves wherein all entrants get 1 vote (you can't vote for your own level obviously) and send them to me, I'll collate them and announce the winner. Or, hyper has already said he would be happy to judge alongside some of the other Spotlighting Crew. Whatever is easiest dependant on the number of entries!

Congrats!

Also I have to nudge you to scratch off the "your level will get spotlighted" bit since we don't do that for competitions.

If any entrants want their level to have a chance at being spotlighted, you must make a post about your level in the Karting Level Showcase thread and we will check out your level along with the other spotlight potentials.

As for the judging, I am happy to judge as a LBPK fan but not with my spotlight cap on!

As I will be traveling and may not make the deadline I am looking to help those in need of Halloween props for the contest. I have started to make some basic goodies that provide atmosphere and will be publishing these as a free Halloween themed DLC level. I'm sticking with basic Halloween and "Trick or Treat" themed items.

I've got a door that opens when you drive up to and stop on the welcome mat. As well as Pumpkins! Lots of Pumpkins!

Any requests for objects and/or props? I'll see if I've got the time or skills to make the props you need.

A very kind offer Maxx, they look excellent. Give them out by all means, this really should be a comp for creators to show their own stuff but I'm happy for entrants to use these.

There should still be custom objects made by the level creator as prizes please!



Note: I've put together a nice signature banner for the winner of this comp just so you can show off with every post you make!

Yes, certainly nothing too elaborate will be made by request - No Custom Karts by me -for another Sackpeep.

The goal for me was to inspire as well as promote the Halloween Karting Contest in my Halloween DLC's description.

Contest update: We've had 200 views! Excellent!

It's my hope that 5-10% of the total views translate into levels being built. I've had confirmation that dsmmat (team picked and spotlighted creator) is working on something for this and also a couple of other spotlighted creators are joining in!

Come on Sackfolk, let's really get some momentum behind this.

As stated before this is open to all. There has to be LBP creators who would like to show off their impressive logic skills within the LBPK 3D environment!

Wow, that's speedy creation work!

In answer to your question. There's no disadvantage making a level tough as long as it's fun. I'm sure the karting community will let you know!

YOUR advantage is getting the level out so quickly. This now gives you the opportunity to improve the level right up until the deadline (if you so wish) in response to reviews.

Never have I made a Karting level, because I despise the game(not sure why, just dont play it at all) but this might just make me dust of the old steering wheel and create a track 2014-09-01 04:50:00

Superb, thanks for joining in!

I think you'll be surprised at the creation level the Karting Community has reached and hopefully stick around after the comp has finished. If not to create then just to play some of the incredible levels these guys keep coming up with.

Yes, thanx! They are bananas! I have other pumpkins too, turned into jack-o-lanterns.

What an ordeal - my computer died. On top of everything I had no idea how to sign back on the forums or what internet abled device to use for the forums.

I've been working on the (very simple) Halloween DLC level and should publish it Fri. or Sat. - Again, main reason is to get Sackpeeps who don't lurk around the forums to find the contest and give some creative ideas to other Sackpeeps!!

Wow, I know that I've kept my dusty copy of LBPK somewhere in my game collection for well over a year now, but I don't think I have the time at the moment to pull off some prestigious creation!

Anyways, good luck to everyone participating!

My free Halloween DLC level is published. Link below. It seemed to be glitching, maybe it was just my playthrough was lagging.

The text I was looking to have appear in the HUD that would describe the items you are looking at and about to pick-up (the prize bubbles) seemed to appear after you had driven over the tag sensor and left the area.

Not sure if it's me and my copy of LBP:Karting, because I'm quite certain I glitched my Earth with my Tank level.

Bonus is you can now pick-up a LBPCentral.com sticker in the level to promote these great forums.

Nice one Maxx! Some great prizes on offer!

I wouldn't worry about the 'description' glitch, though I think it's because the player sensor trigger areas are overlapping.

Hey, since its about time for submissions to start coming in, I've got a couple of suggestions to help streamline some of it.

1) Amend the OP with a list (and lbp.me links with level name and creator) of the submitted levels, so that we have a concise, official list of levels to be specifically played and judged as a part of the competition. Sure beats searching through the posts to find all of the levels.

2) You should recommend in the OP for submitters to present their level "officially" in the LBPK level forum, for spotlight opportunity and more visibility. More plays and visibility means for better judging, at least I would think so.

Just a couple thoughts I just had.

Cheers!

Your first suggestion was something I had already planned to do, as for the second, I have noted this further down the thread but I think you're right, this needs to be up there at the start. Thanks StJ.

Edit: Now done regarding Showcasing levels advice. Will update OP with entries as they come in!

I'm so close to publishing! However, the game keeps freezing when I open the weapon pod to arrange my custom weapons. As soon as I get around that, you'll have another entry!2014-09-12 14:21:00

That sounds vaguely familiar. Might help if you copy everything to a new level. If that's not it, try searching the forums, I'm pretty sure this problem has surfaced before.2014-09-12 15:13:00

Thanks. I searched the Help! forum, but didn't find anything directly related to weapon pods causing freezing. I have a good amount of high thermo scenery, and while it's only about 4/5 or 5/6 full, I think thermo is the culprit. I'll take some of that foliage out, even though it looks so good, and hopefully that helps.

Thanks, I've just had an entry advised from dsmmat which I am going to showcase on her behalf. Pics etc will be up shortly.

If no one minds I'm going to continue putting this message onto all my replies to this thread going forward so hopefully no one misses an entry!

I'm aware (having done a couple of beta tests for him) of a level fairly close to completion by Laidbackcat. It's something definitely a little bit different, but still within the theme. In fact I know he's a little concerned about certain sections being possibly too full on, but hey, it's a Halloween level after all, you should know what to expect.........and I expect you'll be scared!

My entry is gonna be a bit close to the due date, since I had to format my PS3 due to issues out of my control.

But I'll get something out, even if it gives me an uncomfortable rash. :hrmf:

Ok Sackfolk.

Here's the current state of play. 2 and a half weeks to go until the deadline of 26th October. Well over 900 views of the thread. Sadly very few entries so far and of those entries very little plays reflected considering the views! I really hope we see a huge influx of levels soon to show just how much we really do enjoy LBPK.

Even if you're not creating anything, please try all the levels published so far and review if possible. I'd like to be able to get an idea of which levels stand out to the community.

Thanks to the creators who've built levels so far and the ones I know are currently being put together/completed.

Once again I'd urge anyone reading this with access to LBPK to give all the levels a go and check back often to see if new entries have been submitted.

Thanks

I'm sorry, but I just won't be able to enter this thing after all. Every time I went to do something with my entry, the game would crash before I got to save my progress. Did it too many times, and I ended up loosing my patience with it. <:1

Best of luck to everyone else.

Sorry to hear that, was looking forward to some late entries.

Still, we have a couple of days to go!

Wow, eight weeks have flown by since I started this Karting comp. Over 1200 views, which is amazing in itself. I was going to say just 24 HRS LEFT but if course we have an EXTRA HOUR, this wasn't by design Sackfolk, just lucky. GMT moves back tonight by one hour, just enough creation time for those last minute entries.

If it transpires that no more entries are submitted before the deadline tomorrow night then I think we'll revert to my initial suggestion, wherein I'll contact all the creators (via PM and PSN) who've taken their valuable time to build a level, and get their vote on who should win.

That's a real shame, having played the beta, yours was definitely a contender!

No probs, look forward to it when eventually finished. I'll look out for it on the showcase thread.

I'm very humbled to announce that the winner of the LBPKarting Halloween competition is my own entry. No fixes, received 3 votes from the 5 possible.

Thanks to all who took part and all those who, for one reason or another, didn't manage to get theirs completed. Also thanks to LBPCentral community for over 1300 views. I hope some of you pick LBPKarting back up and give it another go!

If you'd like to play the winning entry HW Nightmare on Sack St (https://karting.lbp.me/v/ww8x) or any of the other brilliant creations, all the entries are at the top of this thread with LBPK.me links.

Go get yourself some good old fashioned karting scariness!
