http://i1240.photobucket.com/albums/gg495/yugnar/VCC3logo_zpsa6f2a4cc.png Welcome to the Vita Christmas Countdown 3 official Recruitment Thread! What is the Vita Christmas Countdown project? The Christmas Countdown is a community based project which started 4 years ago (4 years!!!) with the 12 Days of Christmas (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=41495-The-12-Days-of-Christmas-Mega-Thread) in the good old LBP PSP, that was organized by amazing community member anoken. The following year he revived the project and created the Vita Christmas Countdown (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=76502-Announcing-A-Vita-Christmas-Countdown), following the same concept. Last year I decided to organize a Vita Christmas Countdown 2 (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=82853-A-Vita-Christmas-Countdown-2-Hub-Thread&highlight=Christmas+Countdown), which succeeded in reuniting amazing and dedicated creators in creating the ultimate VCC experience, and we even got team picked!. But now again, what is the Christmas Countdown project? It is a series of Christmas-themed levels, each one published in a sequence of days before Christmas by different creators to celebrate its arrival and to expand the joy of the season throughout LBP, and it is becoming one of the strongest traditions of LittleBigPlanet Central. In the Christmas Countdown you can meet fellow talented creators, learn new creation skills, and find new friends in the community! Feel free to check out the links above to check out what has the community created the last three years, you can even get to queue some levels if you missed them before! The goal of this year's LBP Christmas Countdown is to be the very best and biggest event of the VCC series so far. And to fulfill this ambitious goal, we need you! Participate in the biggest Christmas community project LBP has to offer! In order to apply, simply post a reply in this thread, or send me a Private Message. The only requirements I'm asking is to have some experience creating in LBP. That's it! You will decide what your levels will be all about! That means you can create whatever you fill comfortable doing, it can be platformers, puzzlers, arcade games, the limit is the sky! As long as it contains gameplay of some kind and an amazing bunch of Christmas spirit, the only thing that will integrate the project will be a very simple storyline which will be decided by the whole team later, and which can be added to whichever project you had in mind to celebrate this year's holidays. Another small requirement is that you must try to compromise with the project. If you apply have in mind that the whole project depends on each and one of the creators in the team, and that you will have a deadline around 10 - 2 days before December 25th. Have no fears though, we have plenty of time, thus planning this project since now. Also, you can always ask for help in our private groups in this forum for your level and creation doubts. Final commentaries! This thread is for LBPVita applicants only! The tradition has always been bound to portable LBP experiences, but this year, to create the biggest VCC experience throughout LBP, we are also organizing an LBP3 Christmas Countdown. In order to apply there, check the LBP3 thread (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=92336-A-LBP-Christmas-Countdown-Recruitment-Thread)! FAQ: 1. Can I apply for both events? Yes, but you must be prepared to create a whole level both in LBPV and in LBP3. 2. When and how will the planning of the series begin? As soon as we gather enough participants, we will create a private group and there we will proceed to give creators further instructions. Regarding LBP3, we will begin to plan before the game comes out. We encourage beta testers who already know some of the mechanics of creations of the new game to come to this VCC and engage in the first LBP3 community project! What a better way to start participating in the LBP3 creative world than in this way 3. Can LBP2-only owners apply in the LBP3 recruitment thread? The vision of this VCC is to create a nice event for the launch of LBP3. Having the series divided in both games would not be very good, right? Anyway, if there are too few entries in LBP3, we might open the event for LBP2! Don't be afraid of the new game's mechanics though, if you know how to create in LBP2 it will take you two days to learn the new game's tools and basic new tricks. If you wish to get a brief overview of the new game's general tools you can check out this little thread (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=92082-List-of-every-new-gadget-and-a-practical-explanation&p=1193140#post1193140). 4. Is there any limit of participants? Not really, even though we can't precisely have over 30 creators in the project, there is no real limit of applications. The limit will rather be determined by time, once there are enough amazing guys enrolled by, applications will be closed. Apply early! We are expecting your applications creators! Tell your friends! In a personal note, being enrolled by my good friend VelcroJonze to this amazing and fun experience back in the first VCC was the one thing that made me become a part of this LBP community. It is indeed one of the most fun experiences I've ever had in LBP and in videogames in general. I expect you guys will have as much as a good time as I do every year! Welcome! 1. yugnar 2. Sandro8708 3. koltonaugust 4. smartysloan 5. scarybiscuit 6. Coxy224 7. Nikoli1313 http://i1240.photobucket.com/albums/gg495/yugnar/santa_zps797032db.png

Hey guys! If any of you is planning to get on board with the project, I suggest to do it ASAP! Because it we should start to plan the story, make the groups and those things http://i1240.photobucket.com/albums/gg495/yugnar/2daebbc8791e3a9c64646714f40bebbc_zps66836a0f.jpg Applications will probably be closed this Monday. So you guys have the whole weekend to get enrolled! If you do not own a Vita but still want to participate check out the LBP3 event too!

Hi! I have to say No to this project, I'm sorry. Why? Main reason: 8am to 4pm school days yes every week. To monday to friday 8am to 4pm. I would lovely join but my timeline says no *cries* The actual level building will begin in a couple of weeks, probably just before Dec. And you can get one of your last publishing dates, say December 22-24! Won't you have any vacations? Well, I understand it as well! I've been so freaking busy it is kinda ridiculous, but I really wanted to mantain this project's tradition. That's only 5 people working on this project. I bet there could be even more with proper advertising. You're right mate, don't worry though I'll get to do some proper advertisement asap. The fact that LBPC went offline during the last registration days isn't particularly amusing for me, neither. We're not so bad at all though, we have lots of time, last year we started organization at the end of November, so we still have time to get enough people. The usual batch of members is 8-10 so we're already halfway there 8). And that is why... Application days have been extended! If you want to be part of the project, post in here or send me a PM as usual! -yugnar

How about we start thinking about a story! I had the idea: making lvls that shows different ways how gifts are made. Something like helping making the last few gifts. Just a idea

So LBP3 applications will close in a day from now aproximately, but we are still a bit short of people in the Vita event! It would be nice to gather at least two more creators, so if you know anybody who might be interested in the event please send him over here or in Twitter contacting @LBPVCC3. We really need to get the planning going very, very soon so if you want to get enrolled don't wait any longer! This will also probably be the last Vita Countdown I'll organize because with LBP3's launch tomorrow LBPV gets less attention and people everyday. How knows, might be a LBPV2 is coming some day, but for the time being, I believe that the Christmas Countdown will go on in LBP3 only in upcoming years, that is way if you want to get in for a last LBPV ride, post it here already! Don't forget to follow @LBPVCC3 in Twitter to get further news about this level series, both in the vita and in the LBP3 event!

Sing me up for both! And how about a level about saving Christmas?

Sing me up for both! And how about a level about saving Christmas? Wow are you sure? It really is a ton of work and we work on a tight schedule! Asking people to get LBP3 and start creating right away is already a great challenge! If you wish I'll sign you up on both but why don't you focus on one (we need people in the Vita side so that would be awesome!) ?

Sad to hear that you most likely won't organize another vita countdown. Let's make this one count then :hrmf:

Sad to hear that you most likely won't organize another vita countdown. Let's make this one count then :hrmf: Well I might but as I said people lose interest Every year it is a bit harder to get recruitment for older versions of the game. For me at least LBPV had been the best game so far in the LBP franchise, at least until tomorrow. The nostalgia! I've only created seriously in LBPV, so yeah, let's make this one count

2014-11-18 03:17:00 Author: yugnar Posts: 1478

We already have 6 creators in the project but it would be nice to get at least one more, so I'll let the applications last a few more days (a few more I promise). If not, I'll contact you guys to begin planning in the Vita side

Have you tried asking people outside LBPC? Maybe you should make a short recruitment level?

Have you tried asking people outside LBPC? Maybe you should make a short recruitment level? Yes actually many people come from LittleBigForum and I also posted stuff over at the Planetarium and at the Network, but LBPV is not of much interest nowadays Don't worry though I'll come up with something.

Having real concerns over this the level of plays and players on the vita are falling fast and the quality of levels/players has reduced this may not have enough to really make it worth while doing,k its seems everyone is migrating over to LBP3. I don't really want to say this but does this have enough players to warrant the investment in time. - - - - - - - - - - I will support this event if the need is here that won't be a problem, but is feels our hard work will be missed as alot of recent high quality levels just get missed the vita is become a bomb/island/movie survival game for young kids.

I think that vita levels are more appreciated over time rather than immediately. If the level is good enough, I often download it and play it later but what generally ends up happening is levels sit in my queue for a while and then i end up playing them months later. I still very much enjoy vita and I'm sure others do as well.

I understand your concern scary. Every time there is less people in this amazing game, but I believe that if ee do this right and get support from different websites and the community managers, we can make this one amazing last Vita community project! The private group for the project is already open so we can keep talking about that in there

I wouldn't worry too much about plays since it's a level series, a Christmas-themed series, which means extra plays on Christmas. Each level is connected with a plot, so even if your level doesn't reach the cool pages the players will most likely want to look for it because they don't want to miss any part of the story. Also, you can always create a level hub to make the search easier.

Well, I dont care about plays, I just want to create.

Well, I dont care about plays, I just want to create. Same here. I don't care about plays, but I care about people playing my level.

I just noticed this thread, I didn't play Vita so much till now! But LBP3 has still so many bugs and my PS3 has alarming long loading times, so that I started playing the Vita, and its great! I'm looking forward to play the LBP Christmas countdown 3 and wish you all a lot of fun creating! A Happy Advent season and many greetings, Jürgen^^
