Welcome to the 5th LBP Christmas Countdown Community Event Thread!

The LBP Christmas Countdown is a community project created over 5 years ago, where amazing creators join up to create a series of levels to celebrate the arrival of Christmas to LittleBigPlanet; and as Christmas is quickly approaching, it's that time of the year to enroll new creators! Wanna join?

Requirements:

-Be an experienced creator
-Own a copy of LBP3 for either PS3 or PS4
-Note that all levels will be published around the 19th-25th of December, so you need to be able to create a level before that deadline
-Have an account in LBPCentral.com
-Please see the FAQ for any doubts you might have.

How to apply?

-Post a message in this thread.
or
-Send me a PM in this site or via Twitter:

A handy FAQ for all of you folks:

1. Can I enter with a level of mine that is already nearly finished/in the works?
Absolutely This event gives total freedom to each creator. The only thing that will link together the level series will be some very simple story elements (for example, in previous years we had levels where sackboy had to get a Christmas card signed or where we had to rescue a lost reindeer). The story will be decided by every member of the team once recruitment is over.

2. Do I need to create a platformer?
Not necessarily. You may create a mini-game, or basically any kind of level within LBP as long as it contains gameplay (no movie-only levels, but cutscenes are allowed).

3. I'm not an experienced creator, can I apply to this event?
Originally, this was an invite-only project. However, I think that opening it up for everyone is nicer and allows for more diversity. However, I must ensure that you know your ways in the art of LBP creation. You do not need to own a Team Pick or some fancy thing like that, but you do need to be experienced with the game editor, to keep a steady quality in the levels throughout the series.

4. How and when are levels going to be published exactly?
The date for each creator is decided inside our group, but basically the point of this countdown is to release one level every day until Christmas (the 25th) arrives. So publishing dates really depend on the amount of people signing up, it'll probably be from the 18th-25th or something similar.

5. Is there going to be a LBPVita event this year?
Probably not. Last year the coordination of two events (one for LBPVita and one for LBP3) was a bit difficult and LBPVita is decreasing in popularity: last year our hub for LBP3 got almost 90 000 plays while the Vita one harshly got around 600. So LBP3 only this Christmas

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

That's pretty much it! I you have any other doubts, feel free to send me a PM or post a message in this thread. If you're planning on entering a contest (like LBN's Christmas Contest) but you'd like your level to be part of this celebration, feel free to do so.

Aww Jürgen, I do understand however that quick-creation can be stressful. It hasn't got to be a long level though, 2-3 mins would be more than enough!

Too bad cinematics aren't allowed. Either way, I am busy with my Seasonal Shenanigans project but I wish the best of luck for all the participants. And most of all have fun. 2015-12-03 00:49:00

You can always add cinematics inside your levels as long as it contains gameplay at one point

And with that technicality, my level slid by!

Wish I could join, it was a lot of fun, but unfortunately I don't have time for creating at the moment. I barely finished my level last time, and I did have time then. Good luck to everyone who enters. It is worth it if you have the chance.
