When we got all the news on LBP2 my mind went wild with ideas. So many ideas that I thought it would be a good idea to make a thread about them all to keep them organized. (I'll also update this thread when I get more ideas.)
I'll put everything into these three categories:
-Machinimas-
??? (Secret) - This project will probably be the first one I do, as it shouldn't take much time to complete. I am going to be using sackbots and the recording feature to recreate an awesome shows' opening :P I don't want to spoil what it is yet, but I can give ONE hint: :star: (Can you guess? Actually if you do I probably won't answer yes/no so I don't spread it around.)
The Little Big Planet Musical 2 - I don't know how many of you remember The Little Big Planet Musical (http://vimeo.com/5299334), but it was a machinima where I took tons of clips from songs and made short music videos of them, then compiled them together. This time around for 2, I have more ideas to make it MUCH better than the first one. I plan to even make a story behind the whole thing. (Which the first one had a slight back-story to.)
-Levels-
The Mythos (Acts III through VII/VIII) - Some of you may have played my series; 'The Mythos (http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?25315-The-Mythos-~-Act-1-~-Awake)'. Well so far I've only done 2 of the possible 8 or 7 levels. I stopped making the levels after LBP2 was announced, but I plan to make them when it is released. If you don't know, this series is a heavily story based series about a world where gods and humans live in harmony. Of course, something goes wrong and you have to save it :)
Sycophant Trilogy - Recently I published the level 'Sycophant (http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?30828-Sycophant-(With-Pictures-Video)-*SPOTLIGHTED!*)', a platformer/puzzler with a unique story and art style. It got lots of praise and was even spotlighted. But with a lot of the feedback, people asked if there was going to be a sequel. Now, I have ideas for 2 more levels, but I don't know if I should actually make them. For anyone who's played the level I would like to ask if you would want 2 more levels. If they are made I can tell you right now that the story will get even more complex. (Some people were already confused enough by the first levels story.) So yeah, 2 more with a more complex story, but a satisfying ending?
Bouncing Balls Survival Challenge 2 - I had planned to make this a long time ago but never got round to it. With all the new features in LBP2 I decided I would recreate my unique survival challenge. If you don't know, Bouncing Balls Survival Challenge (http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?8853-Bouncing-Balls-Survival-Challenge!-With-Video!&highlight=Bouncing+Balls+Survival+Challenge) was a unique survival challenge that had you dodging giant bouncing balls. The cool thing was they where always random, as they rely on physics. To this day I still go back and play it :P For 2, I have plans to add different, I guess you could call them 'gamemodes', multiple arenas ,(MAYBE) better visuals (When I went to play BB a couple days ago I found the MGS Pack materials I used for some of the level didn't actually look very good, so I won't be using them next time.) and an easier start so people can play the level for a bit longer without dying :)
-Other-
Nothing to put in here for now...
Well, I hope some of you are as excited for some of these projects as I am excited to make them :)
