Windows XP Simulator (Working-Title)

Archive: 7 posts


The backstory is you have disabled "pop-up blocker" on the LittleBigPlanet community and become flooded with pop-ups based around creators, levels etc.
Using the Rear Touch-Pad to navigate and X to click (The awkward controls are part of the fun, see surgeon sim.) you have to close as many pop-ups as you can in under 2:00 mins (other game-types'll include local co-op and survival-mode, but the game will be put into beta once the timed version is built.)
Obviously, the game is Windows EP themed, but I will build other OS's as difficulty settings eventually. The style is sorta cartoonish, but you can still tell what things are. Excuse the quality, it's a screenshot of a screenshot: 49145

I do need some help though. I'm having trouble deciding on a name for the level. I want it to be similar to the AdBlock extension, whilst sounding like a game. I was thinking something retro like Ad Blaster, but you don't really blast anything (unless you get REALLY good at it.) The two I have come up with as examples are: "Ad Frenzy" and "Pop-Up Frenzy." i don't doubt you guys can come up with better. The best part is that whoever creates the title I use will get a prize!

The "winner" will get credited in the games credits, description, and will appear as a Pop-Up in the game (this could be advertising a level, the costume you use, anything really.) You will be credited alongside the incredible MastaBlastya who is doing the soundtrack for the level.

I think "Ad Blaster" is a good name for it but if want alternatives then how about "Ad Attack" or "Ad Invasion" or maybe "Pop-Up Pulveriser" This is an awesome idea btw I hope you think of some funny ads for this you could have stuff like "Congratulations you're our 10,000,000th visitor you just won a spoon!!! CLAIM NOW!" Aw man there's so much you can do with this, there' are so many retarded ads on TV and all over the internet that you can take inspiration from. Good luck with this project, I'm looking forward to playing it.2014-09-09 17:57:00

I will, as well as ALL the Mortal Kombat levels and the H4H spam. Mr. Key will have to make an appearance too. It should be fun, just making the pop-ups. If there are enough I might even build a "History" where you can view the Pop-Ups you've "Blasted." The only concern is I don't want it to sound like a shooter, because people will go in expecting that and find the opposite. The beta will be locked behind a pin, I'll be sure to let you in on it 2014-09-09 18:30:00

Sweet man I would love to beta test this. The title sounding like a shooter might not be such a bad thing because shooter levels get a lot of plays and even if people don't get what they expected they will get something unique and fun so I'm sure they will be happy they clicked on it and well if they aren't then **** them. I'm sure this level will get a positive response because everyone is sick of all the P4P and H4H spam as well as just being fed up with garbage advertisements in general. I'm sure we would all love to destroy some annoying spam ads. Top notch idea you've got here.2014-09-09 22:14:00

I know, but I don't want people to feel like I'm being dishonest at all. That's not cool. I guess if I do exceed their expectations it'd be great, but if I don't I could just refer them to here as a sort of vouch haha
It's a fun take on something dumb I guess, I'm really looking forward to collaborating with Central (And the Planetarium, to a lesser extent) on making the pop-ups. The beta is only there so I can make sure that people are happy with how they are credited, and how their contribution was implemented. I really think the best bit about this is that I can open it up to people, because (like I said before) the more pop-up variants the better.
Thanks It's like the first proper original idea I've had in yonks

I'm publishing a level with the pop-up add in it, if anybody is interested in creating one. It'll also include a wordy-sackbot that details the rules the pop-up.
Fun
