Little Big Planet: What Will You Make (discussion) - Sep 07, 2008 00:22
So I was just wondering what sort of levels and objects would you all like to make in LBP?

I was thinking of going back and playing various Platformers from the past and and recreating some of the levels. The easiest it seems would be Super Mario Bros. I thin kit would be cool to make a few of those levels down to the last detail. And from the previews shown it looks very much possible.

I also wanna try and make a small bungee jumping type mini game. Tho I'm not sure what the allowed hight is for this game so that one altho simple may not be possible anyways.

Original environments only. There are going to be thousands and thousands of dupe environments, and more-likely-than-not, quite a few will be shut down for copyright infringement. How detailed are the map editing tools? You don't get a ghetto texture editor do you?

I read somewhere that they're possibly looking to hire gamers who make the best levels as designers.
The game looks amazing, but I still don't like platformers

The games physics are built around raggdoll and way to floaty and random to create the tight & weighty gameplay / level designs the mario and sonic offer. So lets hope they include the option the tweak these physics.

Also im hoping they include a USB Mouse option, as making levels with a pad (no matter how well implemented) will get tedious after a while.

I'm going to make a level for my wife, so it'll have to piss easy, and entertaining enough to keep her interested.  She hates computer games but likes the artwork for this, so hopefully she'll give a level I make for her a go.

Lorna once was so trashed she wanted to play halo 3.  She looked at ceiling/floor/ceilling/floor whilst spinning in circles for about two minutes before throwing the controller across the room because someone shot her.  I got slapped for laughing.

No no, make it look piss easy but fuck it up some how so it's actually impossible.

Any and everything you've seen in the previews can be used. Gametrailers had a few demonstrations of levels being made a short time ago. But more then just levels you can go all out and make rube goldberg devices I'd imagine with all the pulleys and buttons and what not. It seems almost limitless honestly. Also about the copy right stuff I dont plan to submit all mystuff online. I do plan to take a picture of Mario's face and placing it in the game as one of those cutsome cut out masks.

Anyways i'll go find some vidoes tomorow.

Items can be stack carved and stuck in place. It looks like a very open ended system. The levels in the game can be easily replicated they claim with the tools given to the user.
