Discworld: Thieves of Ankh Morpork -- Released!

Discworld: Thieves of Ankh Morpork -- video trailer by TheAdipose
TheAdipose and Luos_Desruc return with a homage to the great Terry Pratchett with this LittleBigPlanet level set in Ankh Morpork. Playing as Cyril on his first day at the Thieves Guild you must find secret routes around the city, overcome difficult puzzles, sneak past killer parrots, battle power crazy wizards... and... above all... avoid being sold anything by CMOT Dibbler.

This level is now released!



please watch the VIDEO TRAILER

.. I am aware the trailer contains some of the worst voice acting in the world - but hopefully it will get you excited about the level

Massive amount of credits for this level:
Terry Pratchett - intellectual property and writing such a great set of books
Adi - level design, gameplay, telling everyone else what to do, discworld research, all dialogue, sack cutouts, 3D bits and bobs, and even a surprisingly large amount of the visuals!
Luos - wizards tower (external), killer parrots, fixing all my visuals that sucked, thiefs scoreboard, removing a billion of freds stickers, dwarf mines, Jez scroll room, loads of front layer stuff, all the lighting, generally making stuff look awesome - thanks luos!
Fred - working with adi on the city, dressing up in loads of weird outfits so adi could photo him, mine cart, placing objects that broke stuff.
Sync - wizards tablecloth
robotcrash - dibblers cart + dressing up.
rtm223 - sneak logic - thankyou!
comph - bits of logic help here and there + logic pack
bakscratch - 3D glitch discovery
enochroot - masses of feedback and ideas to improve the level.
sehven, ajnknox, coxy, clarie - thanks for taking the time to beta test and share ideas to improve the level.

This is Adi and Luos' 3rd level working as a team and we believe it's our best work yet. Please check it out, but only do so when you have the time to sit back and enjoy it. It's a slow paced level of exploration and experimentation.

Tonight I've uploaded a video tutorial explaining some of the ideas we used in this level. I discuss the sneak sensor, mouth logic, and a whole lot more! Aimed at newer creators, but experienced ones may enjoy an explanation of some of rtms/comph's tools.

I imagine I'll quite like this.....Discworld = win! lol @ trailer - nice

[Oddmania]

Oh Gosh, what an amazing idea !

Can't wait to call it an amazing level ! I've been thinking of such a level after watching the film made for television (i didn't know these books at all), but this has never come to anything.

You can be sure I'll play it as soon as it's up, it seems that you and Luos_Desruc have gorgeously used the 3D glitch (it's often overdone in many levels), the part in 1:11 is really impressive, the sceneries are stunning.

Looking forward to playing it ^^

I imagine I'll quite like this.....Dicworld = win! lol @ trailer - nice

sorry to disappoint... but this about 'discworld'....um...dicworld is...um... about something else...

I had the pleasure of beta-testing the level. It really is revolutionary stuff. I have never played a LBP-level like this. This is a REAL story-level (like an RPG without all the menus). It's packed with multiple missions, quite tricky puzzles, a horde of quirky characters and some unbelievable well-designed scenery.

It captures the feel of Ankh Mopork perfectly. It is definately not a level to rush through, instead: take your time to explore and let yourself be immersed in this strange and wonderfull world. Soak up the atmosphere, think out of the box, and beware of those nasty parrots...

Nice video and I'm a fan of Discworld too.

I would like to point out something about the banner with the level title on at the end though. I assume you have that in the actual level ?

The text looks great but the r's in Morpork don't look right to me. They look like c's so when I read it I thought it said MOCPOCK !

[TheAdipose]

Yeah I think the text is a touch hard to read... but I love the font so much I dont want to change it I figure people will know the name of the level anyway so I can leave it. Thanks for the feedback though, hope you enjoy the level.

[trip090]

[Coxy224]

The trailer is good and trust me, so is the level
I sent you a PM with some stuff I thought might help Adi

[Couchmuffin]

That was AWESOME!!!
The music, the level,the trailer, how did you get your voice like that? I WILL play that level and I WILL give it 5 stars and a hart!!!

[EnochRoot]

One of the best levels I've ever seen on LBP. Humourous,fun and original. Better than the old Ps-one point and click discworld game.

[Arctos13]

Wonderful, this should tide me over until Sack the legendary 5 comes out!

[RobotCrash]

"Buy ma' dang carrots! " Hahaha.

Fun fact: I am CMOT Dibbler! Hope you all like my Carrot and Fish Carts!
