Ok all the forum errors have been fixed and most of the people who were posting entries have posted them - I'm closing submissions now

If you were somehow not able to post your entry and had signed up to, please contact one of the judges and we will review your case - but please do this soon

Let the judging begin!

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

A LittleBig hello to all you little sack people who have been jumping around your pods in anticipation at getting started on your levels.Well the wait is now officially over,the contest theme is LOVE!

The level is to be published on Febuary 14th (that's Saint Valentine's Day for all you little sack folk who spend too much time on your Ps3 or Pc).
It is entirely up to you how you interpret the theme,be as creative and diverse as you want. IT could be love for a person, a hobby, a videogame, a song, a movie, a poem, a work of art, anything you love or love doing. If you love frightening,entertaining, fooling or make little sack people laugh or cry or go OMG! in awe it's up to you. It can be as long or short, as simple or complicated as you want it be. It can be happy or sad, tragic or funny, a classic tale of love lost or a contempary tale of love for LBP itself. If you love war or blowing things up lets have the most explosive war level ever or if you love jumping, swinging, racing lets have the jumpiest most swinging racing level yet. If you love tanks or vehicles get your tools out and let's see your love machine.
We do ask that you promote the forum by clearly labeling it http://www.lbpforum.net competition entry clearly in the title along with your creation name and http://www.lbpforum.net somewhere in your level. After judging is finished you can change the title to whatever you want and do anything you like with your level. I'm sure it's going to be a lot of fun creating and playing together.
You still have plenty of time to make the required number of posts to enter, now get busy little sackpeople creating,posting etc Get out there and spread the LBPF LOVE!

You can apply for the competition in this thread. Then i will add you to the list of who's in the competition. Remember your level will only be judged if you have 2 stars(= 75 posts). So that doesn't mean that you can't start making your level now even of you don't have the required amount of posts. :)

The judges at the moment are me and Enochroot, we are looking for 1 more judge. Off course you can't be judge and be in the competition. :)

The winner will be rewarded with a PS3 game of your choice!

talking about judges, so there arent gonna be a third judge?

I guess not but that should not be a problem right? Or you think 2 judges is not enough?

I could join in the judging if you want an extra opinion.
I would want to join the competition, but i don't really have a good idea, and not much time to make levels.

But really nice that you started this contest.

75 post to enter?? Isn't the idea to promote this site, but in order to enter the contest you want me to become a spammer? Thats just horrible. I think people who want to enter should be grand-fathered in; starting with me :D . I tell ya what i'll do. To show my dedication to this forum (which by the way is the best one I found dedicated to my favorite game ever),but to show my dedication, when I get home (i'm at work :cry: ) i'm going to take a level of mine that has already been published. It's been up for 4 days now and has over 220 plays and a solid four stars. I will create a bilboard with LBPFORUM.net in bright letters and place it at the begining of the level. The level is called Horse Race, give it a looksy tomorrow to confirm my dedication (although the big MM may slap my hand for advertising a third party) maybe not, is this site an "offical licensed" site of LBP?

whitedeath89
01-16-2009, 06:06 AM
about the official thingy, ill let RK to answer you.
about the other stuff, plz read the post, we aint promoting spam, solely giving your opinions about the lbpforum.net lvls in the creativity planet, can give you a lot of post, also woth your introduction and chatting with some of us can easily give you 75 post, yeah we want to promote the forum, but the 75post requirement assures that REAL members, i mean ppl that have spended to put it like that a minimun of time in the forum, if it wasnt like that, anyone could participate, a person that just found the forum, have 1 post(post saying that its in the contest), puff that person wins the prize and then, forget about the forum, personally, i think the post req should be more, as 75 post can be easily be done.
enough said and i hope you got my point

wulongheyot
01-16-2009, 06:10 AM
Yes I do understand.

rkNrolla
01-16-2009, 09:48 AM
whitedeath89 explained it actually pretty good. I think it would be sad if someone with 1 post will win the competition and then never come again to this forum. That would not be fair to the regulars, the people that make this forum awesome.

wulongheyot
01-16-2009, 02:51 PM
But have you looked to see how many current members have over 75 post?? Your contest may have only 6 or 7 people entering (and that number includes admin).

whitedeath89
01-16-2009, 03:00 PM
if i remember well, admin(RK) isnt going to participate since he will be one of the two judges.
what we want here mate is focus on the quality of the participants, yeah it would be good if there was like 20 ppl in the contest, but let me ask you something, in one side you have 20-30 ppl in the contest but most of them to not say all, you dont know them, only one post and puff, mr x win the contest and puff mr x is never seen again, this can happen contest after contest, option two, you have 6 ppl in the contest, well lets say 10 with other users pots count growing, but you know them well, are friendly faces and you have chatted and played some of their lvls, puff one of them won the prize, you congratulate him and also give you the confidence that you were inside that group and the prize will be inside that group of ppl, that means you could be the winner.
its a little fee we are asking for, like $10 for buying a lotto or something, so you can have a chance to win the prize, 75 post means that the ppl that want to be in the contest demostrate a little bit of interest in the forum.

EnochRoot
01-16-2009, 04:30 PM
The 75 post requirement is a non negotiable and is there for the very good reasons WD89 has explained.There has been no outright spamming (although Surf seems to be only interested in one topic,namely his own level).It's worth posting up just to receive the benefits of technical,advice,gameplay feedback;and you can become good friends with some creative and dedicated LPB sackaholics.With the number of sections and threads running 75 posts is an easy and enjoyable target.If you feel you are a good creator you should challenge yourself to make the posts,you wont regret it,because I have a few surprises coming up over the next couple of weeks.Keep your eyes open for clues...

KodeRiter722
01-16-2009, 06:46 PM
i think the 75 post rule is reasonable. i just wanted to let you folks know that i am interested in entering, and i am working on my 75 posts right now. I have already started working on the level, and i think yall will like it. cant wait to see what ppl are holding back! i think i read this somewhere, but is there an official way to enter other than publishing the level with "lbpforum.net contest entry" in the title?(+75 posts)

wulongheyot
01-16-2009, 10:31 PM
No, I was only kidding before. I understand the requirements and why they have been put in place. Beside, I can do 75 posts standing on my head.

currently 8 people have over 75 posts, and a further 10 have 20 or more

with 31 days untill the comp those people have to post just under twice a day to enter, im sure 2 posts a day isn't hard - heck I'm at something like 12.36 per day

EnochRoot
01-17-2009, 09:24 AM
We would love to have you the enter the contest and it is open to everyone with 75 posts,anyone could hit this quota in one hour on the various threads.
and in response to MrG's "were all screwed",the contest is not being judged soley on graphical or technical wizardry which ninja excels at,there are so many other factors such as fun,playability,originality,narrative etc so many variables to consider.I've seen some fantastic work from Alp and Possum recently,the depth of talent on this forum is staggering and the contest is wide open,but most of it's a fun creative challenge for everyone involved.

NinjaMicWZ
01-17-2009, 06:26 PM
I started working on something already, and I'm loving it so far. Regardless of the outcome of the contest, I am inspired by the concept and will have a great time making a level for it... can't wait to see what you guys come up with because this can be ANYTHING.

I'll keep workin' on my post count before the deadline, so gimme some time.

whitedeath89
01-17-2009, 10:52 PM
man just played all of your lvls a DAAAAAAAAAAAMFKKKKKOMFKGJESUS they are so good, innovative, the paint rifle and the other one, so cool, lost idol series, amazing narration. CONGRATULATIONS what a nice crative mind. also, i would like to hear some advises because sometimes i see huge backgrounds and complex platforms like all was a unique object, and creating my lvl, i made something like that, but to the point that the "this object is too complicated" message.
any advises to avoid it?

NinjaMicWZ
01-17-2009, 11:23 PM
Thanks, man... I really appreciate that.

Build areas in seperate sections... if you're cutting into a single block it will eventually reach maximum vertices and detail limit. If you have 4 boxes glued to each other, in perfect symmetry, you can cut 4 times as much detail into what appears to be a single block.

Hope that helps a little... there's alot of tricks, but it just comes with practice. My first few levels weren't all that great either, and each one gets better IMO, as I learn more and can plan better. Planning is definitely key. Know where your end is, and where you start is. Don't deviate, and keep in mind everything that you're going to put in the level and how much thermometer it will take. Your best bet is to build the entire level out without any real details and art put in, just platforms and squares... and then kind of fill in the details as the thermometer allows and work room by room til you're satisfied with each one.

You don't want to end up with a maxed thermometer and come up with a great idea that you can't use because you didn't plan ahead - believe me, I've done that almost everytime and have regretted not planning ahead or taking my time.

The secret to my levels is editing... hundreds of edits after playtesting over and over and over. What you see now is probably much better than what was first published around launch.

whitedeath89
01-17-2009, 11:37 PM
that really helped a lot, thank you very much. btw, are you gona put the paint rifle as a prize bubble someday? that thing is great, the best part is the rumble of the cannon, how did you made it?

celteen
01-18-2009, 12:11 PM
I'd like to add that limiting your palette also helps, each material type has an impact on the space gauge as does item stamping the first item e.g a tank you place takes a certain amount of space up, but you can add so many more before it rises again, but when it does... Damn it rises a load for each one after that. And that varies for each item in question. Stickers and the like seem to take hardly any space up but you can only attach so many to any-given item. Some people seem to think the complexity of a material piece adds to the gauge, this isn't the case you can have one piece that fills the entire space and the gauge wouldn't rise any more as a result of that. It's how many pieces you have that does it. After I have an idea I build it, test it then optimize it. The mark 3 Rex of mine used to take about 3 notches on the gauge up, now its just under one.

Example I took the bubble crate from the MGs DLC used my cookie cutter copy to make a full not hollow box and made 4 different version of it, so thats 4 boxes custom made, u know how many I had before it started adding any more space 128, thats 32 of each box type. Im prepping a youtube Vid to show exactly how many boxes, sound boring wait until the video is uploaded.

whitedeath89
01-18-2009, 09:08 PM
thanks man i already saw your rex videos, you create great things, it would be cool if you start with some "how to do it" videos on youtube, you can start with the boxes.
and yanno dont worry, you still have a lot of time, just make your introduction, chatt with some ppl here, and play some lbpforum members lvls and post your opinion about it, that should make 75 or more

I know what you mean WhiteDeath... im halfway thrue mine, but i cant seem to look at it and be satisfied... :/ im making the basics and then add the detail later, i have the story (but not the ''lines'', yet)... And probably i will change alot untill the final day, i seem to get stuck on ideas sometimes and im not all that good with gadgets and stuff...But im aiming for the best i can to give some competition to you guys... So dont count me out... :) hheheheh :)


PS: thanks RK, its updated, on my side atleast...

whitedeath89
01-18-2009, 11:05 PM
for me i cant continue with the lvl till finishing the details on the part im working on, and even after i start working in another part, sometimes i go back to add more things lol.
i als have a story but its a very very simple idea at the beggining and im adding a lot of things in the way

foxeye13
01-18-2009, 11:17 PM
Yeah normaly im also like that, i always like to finish one segment before heading to the next, but i have so many ideas that i just have to make a simple design to star and finnish it later... And im busy with a form of dialogue so dant it doesnt repeat itself, seeing that in this level you have to go from point A to B and return to A but all with different dialogues... :)

My story is also simple, and every day i have something new to add... lool hope it wont get to complex... :P

i saw that on a community lvl, i think is grampa's ibs, try it, but i think he made agan the first part of the lvl to do that. another thing that i dont know if works, maeybe making where you glue the magic mouth, disolve material and then an emitter with the new dialogue

and thanks for the name of the song celteen

Yes, its quiet dificult to make something perfect... i just make them acceptable and so that they work... And i just hate those glitches that everything falls apart when i add a little of material to somewhere... My thermo is already hitting the top and still somethings to do, mainly dialogue... (sad) i hope i have enough space for it... :/

(sad) (sad) oh, didnt know that... i have to make the whole dialogue of the level still and i only have 1/4 space in my thermo... I hope it works, or i will have to cut on alot of ideas in my level... ans to be honest i cant see how the level works without them... :O :cry:

01-23-2009, 02:05 PM
How will we know our level is entered? Do we just post of the 14th with the LBPforum competition as the title? Or do we have to record the level and submit it here on the web site?

EnochRoot
01-23-2009, 02:14 PM
NO just publish the level with the title like this:
http://www.lbforum.net Competition Entry Level
JB's love machine(or whatever you decide)
when the contest is over you can change the title or anything else you want.We will run an official thread where you can introduce your contest level and people will then be able to play and give some feedback.

EnochRoot? Its OK the level is a bit hard right? And it may take some time to get through it.. Not because you die 24/7! But its gonna be a level where you dont die, but you must use some tries to get through the stuff. (wont tell too much) right?

Make sure you hit your post count and don't forget the title and forum promoting in level requirements.
And now for some good news,to make all your efforts worthwhile there will be some great runner up prizes as well !!! : )

Well good luck, I was thinking the same thing about my original plan and thats why I went with some thing different. I also just got bored of working on the other level. I figured the idea was to have fun so I might as well make something I have fun making. I find I always screw some thing up when I am not enjoying it anyway. Hopefully you are able to finnish it in time and still have lots of fun!

i tried that fallout 3, played for 3 hours before i got a weapon, took something from a box and started getting shot at, so ran out a door and it saved... then i got killed... then it started me off at the last save point, walking through the door to get killed again... and again... and again.... stupid glitch. i voted that game the worst in 2008! i traded it in the next day! the commercials made it look too good to be true... haha

But it is locked so no one can play it. I hope I didn't break the rules... If so I will have a level for people to play by the weekend then ;0) haha... and I guess I would be out of the contest... :0(. Are you aloud to show it to people before publishing?

Did you know that its the less heaviest weapon in the game? you run the fastest with it equiped even faster than the knife... hehe:) I love to use it in de_dust2... heheheh

I have a few questions about the contest...
1. What should I name my level, can it be LBPForum.net - "Level Name" or something along those lines?
2. Does the level have to be working 4 all 4 players, sometimes i can't get switches to work correctly if there are 4 sack boys running about.
3. On the first post theres a list of competitors, im not on it do I have to be on it to be in the contest? (This ones a biggy, I ve been working on a level 4 like 7 day now 4 the contest I dont want it all to be wasted time)

b-coli
02-05-2009, 01:45 AM
yeah i was wondering too, i am not on the list either, but then again, i am not sure if i broke a rule... since i did technically "publish"my level. but it is locked and no one has played it. since i was having save probs i published it so it would be there to me at least no matter what, i had to do that with my last level too, i lost over 20hrs of work on it, and gave up doing it over and over.... anyway.

am i disqualified? are you aloud to tell people what your level is? cause i have done that a couple times already around this forum too.... oops (unsure)

just wondering, no biggie if i am not in, i will just publish sooner :D
i like this site and am addicted now, surfing it from my iphone on the bus to and from work... haha
thanks for the forum guys! (i am still new to the format)

Woohoo ... since I am over 75 posts, I want to participate in the contest. But, I do already know, that I stand no chance against other creators. And even if I have time to finish my level.

We got that wallpaper yeatsrday in the US. Or at least I saw it then prolly the time diff. Which brings me to another question bout the contest. What time globally can we publish? Are we going by London time? If so when it's 1am there on feb 14th. It will be 5pm on the 13th here... So would I be able to publish my level then? ( if I am still in)

I've been getting PMs from people concerned about when to publish the level.The initial competition post tells you to post it on Feb 14th so when the clock clicks over to 00:01 where ever you are in the world you can publish.There will be no advantage for people who live in an earlier timezone as the judging is going to be long and rigorous (I will probably wear my fingers out and lose my final connection with the real world as I immerse myself in an orgy of littlebigplaneteering!) Some people have expressed concern about Hardrive space and level saving issues,if you want to publish a securely locked unamed level like NinjaMicWZ does you can but be careful so you don't release it's title or unlock it before 14/02/2009.I would encourage people to read the very first post on page one of this thread to remind themselves of the contest specs.The organisers and judges are going to be putting a lot of work in over the next week as you deserve it for all your efforts.




p.s. there are some extra prizes now.

Yeah that would suck. Specially since I first wanted to publish on the first but heard of this competition... Then started reading and decided to join up cause everyone seemed pretty cool. Just got done playing with EnochRoot a little. Or more like tried to play ;0) haha

Hey Enoch, where were those levels? The last we did with all the pics? I wanted to go back. After you got booted it was running perfect. Bit I wasn't able to tell the name or creator ...

Had fun though wish the lag would get fixed though :0(

EnochRoot
02-07-2009, 09:17 AM
LOL.Those levels we played belonged to the failed to load king! It was just a few of my many failed to load levels which we accessed through my private create moon.The pyrotechnia level is published online @ EnochRoot and you may be able to access it now you have some of the data transferred to your system.The one with the pictures of members was my www.lbpforum (http://www.lbpforum) showcase level featuring forum members,it was up and running for a while and DC seemed to like all the naked ladies but then it turned into a failed to load as well,I was thinking of trying this one again and adding all the new members.

02-08-2009, 08:55 AM
Alreay have an ending boas. Just been tweaking and polishing it up. And adding little things here and there. I HAVE to make sure to leave room for the site logo. Does it really have to say "HTTP:..." or can it just say " www.lbpforum.net (http://www.lbpforum.net)" ? To save space.

EnochRoot
02-08-2009, 09:22 AM
www.lbpforum.net (http://www.lbpforum.net) is fine. I would recommend you beta test as there would be nothing more frustrating than putting all that effort into your level and you then get a FTL message.I think Celteens ready and has a level locked up ready to open and publish on the 14th.

i just need the last piece of scenary and then i´m going to put a little story into it

(my lvl is almost 100% design and not so much platforming because it was made as an intro)

b-coli
02-08-2009, 02:50 PM
I test it daily. :) with some of my buddies that are not on this forum. Was having troubles with one of the endings... But think I worked it out. :D
I would test with people on this forum, but not sure how that would affect the contest. So I keep it to a few friends that have not heard of the site.

I just need to figure out how to do the signs. :D then I'm done :D
If all works out... I won't need the demo of killzone2. Cause this site will be sending me a free copy. ;) hahaha. Seriously... Good luck to everyone. Can't wait to check out everyone levels.

What are you having trouble with? Design/platforming/difficulty?
