Quick question, I know you said that no level links, but what if it is a level link to an ending cutscene, is that allowed? Also, is it allowed if the whole level was the player in a controllinator? Thanks!

Im curious to see who is seriously trying this contest out. Who am i up against? : p
We'll only consider one level for the contest. If you want to publish another level with a cutscene just for fun, that's fine - however it will not be considered by the judges.Quote:

Should have just said "non-spontaneous time travel caused by some object whether time machine or time-apple"
Close your eyes and think of Midas.Quote:

Is the rare prize crown for all of the regions? Or just the UK or something? Thanks!

Aha /Twin Paradox the method of time travel I have set my space-time coordinates to this exact time from the future. I have travelled through time to tell you this message, that I made a level published in April and won this awesome contest. I'm very proud and congratulate all that took part.
Just kidding It wasn't true, lol but good-luck to you all Happy Gaming :)
The Crown is available in all regions, yesQuote:

? Pretty sure. I think just about all the costumes are now across all three platforms except those specifically for karting, such as the Karts.Quote:

I have a question as well can I use this as two time zones:
The player is in a futuristic lab with a wormhole he uses it to go back in time, but he keeps going back to the lab for very short amounts of time (for reasons I won't say here). Would that still count as two time zones even though he only spends a small amount of time in one?

Can you control sackbots in the level?
Yes! I have been waiting and waiting for an official contest to come around! The theme is great; thanks so much contest crew!
I hate to tell you (and it sounds like I'm wasting out the fun), but I'm pulling myself out of the contest. I have no motivation in building a level that takes up that much thermometer space with fewer exciting materials.
If anybody can tell me what other way can I get the crown. Playing in the contest is one thing, but what's another way to get the crown?

this is very true, the level dose get overheated very fast when using over five materials. its pretty nuts ive been doing lots of testing with this. but there is ways around this, hoping to push through this one. if your giving up in less then a week of trying , your unworthy of the crown. haa. dont take that comment to seriously.
mm takes fan art. you maybe able to recieve your crown that way.
Wow awesome! can my friend get crown too ,f he help me?
Can I get my crown just for being lazy ?
The only way to make a good level with just 5 materials is to stick with one theme opposed to the two you're asking for. If I want to do two themes, I have to use more than five materials and make a cheaply made Platformer. If I want to make two themes without wasting thermometer space, I'll have to use a level link in sub level, which is against the rules. That, and the fact that I cancel projects when bored are the main reasons why I'm dropping out.
Also, sending fanart to Mm is a cheap way of getting a crown. I'll need to do something more than that, but less than winning a contest.
I may or may not enter I have a lot of other projects going on right now perhaps I'll do this in LBP2 and make my first LBP2 level that's funny I own the game but never touched the create mode I only made levels in LBPVITA and LBPPSP
I have a dumb question , possibly been answered, but my friend seen what ive been making and dosent think im pulling it off. So my question is how many times must the machine travel ? If i start my level in a modern time retrieve the time machine and go somewhere like prehistoric and just return back to modern day ,is that good enough? Or do you want this machine to (travel into two periods?)
Now I got some time to translate the description into Japanese.
コンテスト概要を日本語訳させていただきました。
日本の皆さんも一緒に楽しみましょう！
So, here it is! :D

LBPC第10回コンテスト A Stitch in Time
こんにちは！
また皆さんのクリエイト欲をかき立てにやってまいりました！今回のコンテストは（初めてだと思いますが）、 LBP2とLBPVitaの両方から参加できます。それぞれの勝者に王冠とLBPCピンを差し上げます。L BP2の優勝作品については、録画もさせていただきます。
お題は、タイムトラベルのテーマに沿ったステージを作ることです。ステージには少なくとも2つの異なるタイムゾーンを設け、その間を移動するかっこいいタイムマシーンを作らなくてはいけません。それ以外 に制約はなし。あなたの想像力と時空の限界だけがリミットです！
あなたはどんな時代を選びますか？ジュラ紀と未来SF？西部開拓時代と中世？シカゴのギャングと世界の終末 ？現在と1970年代？制限はないので、あなたが一番ピンと来るものを選んでください。タイムマシンも同様 です。あらゆる種類のワンダフルでクレイジーなマシンをお待ちしています。たとえば未来っぽいのや、スチー ムパンク、段ボールとセロテープのクラフトワールドスタイルとか！
ロジックと仕掛け重視の方も、見た目、ストーリー、演出などに特化する方も、このテーマをなんらかの形で含 んでいるようにしてください。たとえば各時代でのプレイヤーの行動に因果関係を持たせるとか、パラドックス を強調するとか、歴史上の2つの時代に驚くべき解釈を加えてみせるとか。テーマに対してどんなアプローチの 仕方をする場合でも、オリジナリティとクリエイティビティを期待しています。それとVitaのクリエイター さんたちには、Vitaならではの要素を生かして、PS3ではできないようなことを見せてもらえるとうれし いです。
それではタイムトラベラーさんたち、幸運を祈ります。後ほど・・・またはさかのぼって、お会い しましょう。
作成要件とルール

・ このゲームはオリジナリティあってこそです。ターディス（ドクターフーのタイムマシン）やデロリアン（バッ クトゥザフーチャーのタイムマシン）をタイムマシンにしてしまうと、厳しい目で見られますよ。どちらも移動 方法としてとてもクールだけれど、それよりもあなた自身の想像力から生まれたものが見たいんで す！

I have a question! D:
Do we need to switch between two time zones, but this needs to be optional? Because in my lvl the player goes to the future (after playing on present) , and do not back to present. is that okay?
This should be absolutly ok.
You used two time zones, so where is the problem?
Good theme :hatsack:
Soooo, after a long weekend, how did the level creators do? progress? Good or Bad? I'm a curious sackdude
Good progress! I'm a bit in the level now... but the thermometer is over the half! :boo: And how long of the level have I created? 25% maybe, but it might went out well! :pQuote:

Did no progress over the weekend, but I am back to work now.Quote:

yeah, its good to here everyone's progress. :) keep everyone on there toes. After a long weekend myself i realized i made a giant level of garbage and i will totally start over , haha. not a therm problem, but more of pointless platforming problem. i will start fresh tonight. hopefully i learned my lesson and i wont let this speed-bump slow me down. i fear my opponents.
for everyone, who asks, if he should make the level on LBP Vita or on LBP2: I think it's better for both of us:
When you take part on LBP Vita you haven't got such a big group of people, that could have a better level than you.
And when you don't take part, there is one less person, who could have a better level than me :)
but that would meen, that I've one less level to play to, so maby it wouldn't be soo good for me ;)
err my quesition: When I publish my Beta-level closed, so that ONLY BETA TESTER with a key can test it, is the level disqualified?
ps: sorry for my bad english ;) I hope everyone understood what I ment... or mean? :)
In the top left hand corner, how did the probability formula get there?! :devious: Hmm...a mystery!Quote:
