Idea for First Level. Need a title and suggestions

Okay, so, first off, the main villain is Prof. Calzone and his butler, Egbod (Egg bod). Prof. C captures the entire population of sackpeople to force them to create his newest invention, the De-Hearter-Ray (Sticking to LBP references with it)

However, 4 sackpeople (The players) were away at the time of the capturing, and after being informed about what happened by the great Larping Tree, they set out on an adventure to save the other sackpeople

Anyway, during the levels, I had this idea. I wanted to add text to it, but in a different way. I want to draw out the scenes, like comic panels, and have the characters, like the tree and Prof. Calzone, talking at certain points of the game.

During the episodes, the Professor keeps an eye out on the sackpeople through his massive telescope and sends out robotic minions to stop them. How far it goes, not too sure.

And to add to the imaginative parts, everytime the 4 heroes appear, they are shaded out, to make people add their imagination to it, like "That could be my sackperson fighting those robots! 8D"

hmmmmm.........intresting! I will give you one suggestion that i think should be made, if they talk to a tree then they should be in a forest or somewhere outside so maybe you could make like little villages and huts to fit the scenario.

Cuz in my opinion going from a talking tree to a city or another place would be harder to minipualte.:)

You could also make it so that the bad guy goes around the world taking sackpeople so lets say he hits the jungle then in the next level he goes to the city. That way your not jumping around from place to place in the level and you don't try to fit everything into it.:)

As for the comic strips there is One series I know of that does this, If this is how you want it, let me find it then i'll post the name.:p

Very good and interesting ideas especially the one in bold. Claptonfann referred me to you and I'm glad i found this thread. I love comic books for many reasons and LBP players could benefit of a new, refreshing way of telling a story in a level.

Brilliant idea mate! Looking forward to see it's progress :)

I found it!:p

Its a level for that littlebigfairytale competion. The name of the level is LBL: Fairytale-The Three Little Sacks![Part 1] by ATLegend

If i were you i would just search his psn lol
Be sure to play part two also. Has cut scenes like how i think you want them

That could help out a lot! Thanks. And don't worry. It starts out in a forest. And depending on how it goes at the beginning could depend on how long the story could continue. Example would be, after the first two levels people are really wanting to see more to the story, then it will continue to other lands outside the forest, city, lab and final battle. Like I told Clapton, as well, other ideas I've had could appear depending on how it goes in the beginning. An example would be adding water levels to the story in time, as part of the Professors scheme to stop the sackpeople.

Papius has also asked me to help, so this may become a co-op level :D

Indeed, especially since I'm new at making stuff for levels. Only thing I thought looked cartoony and humurous so far in the level were... Well, the trees and the Pitfall Bridge idea I had.

On the titles.... The 4 Horsemen might be a nice title. Maybe Resistance or Uprising might be nice, given the overwhelming odds. As a matter of fact, Overwhelmed or even Oppression might be considered, but I don't like 'em that much :p

The 4 Horseman does sound catchy for this idea, same as Resistance. Only problem with Resistance is people may think it'd be related to the game Resistance.

Ugh, yeah, no wonder it sounded good :rolleyes:

Yea... Even so, it was still a good suggestion. I'd just feel bad if someone thought, "Ooh, a level based on Resistance... Hey, wait a second!"

Well, I've worked on it a bit and decided that an intro needs to be drawn. And the most interesting thing I thought of for the intro would be to tell it like a story. So, I've created a sackboy as the storyteller. Clapton has seen it a few days ago and I think his outfit looks good for a narrator. I'll have a pic of him up later tonight as well as the drawn version, which will appear in the first stage.

PS. Not sure if you guys allow updates on levels and stuff on here, so if not, I can always delete the post after finding out.

Sorry everyone. I haven't had time to get the drawing version of him done. But, I have gotten a snapshot of how our narrator will look. Now all he needs is a name. Any suggestions? I was thinking Mr. Reginald Lottabux.
