A Malevolent Tale

[OneEyedBanshee]

Myself, Prattz, XTrophx(Joey) and Jayhawk_er have been working on an entry for LittleBigPodcast's MTG contest. The deadline is very soon so we have began publishing and unlocking things as we get them 100% finished. Will try to get some pics up on lbp.me soon.

It's a story on how the characters from Little Big Planet 1 ended up in Eve's Asylum and spans across several levels. The collector attempts to atone for his sins but quickly gets tired and a dark plan comes into action. Play it to find out the rest!

Thanks for checking this out.

It was incredibly fun to work on this with you guys, and I learned a lot of neat little tricks that I'm sure I'll start using now.

Here are some photos from the first 2 levels, just because I can't figure out how to upload photos in the intro, like PSYNTENS did, and I wanted to put a few photos on here.

Sounds Sweet i approve

[psynten´sWife]

is the best serial levels what i see, you guys deserve to win the crown

[Joey]

I had a lot of fun creating with such an awesome team AKA PF4.
I will miss these creating days. Anyways I just hope that everyone enjoys it! and thanks a lot for the kind words.

Hey guys i dont have words for this, i was see ur its degrees were doing work for this and longed to play it can be because i knew the result would be exceptional, it is a very funny story, creative and especially well represented, a very good use of characters as LBP2 LBP1, materials, ideas, obstacles, music all together actually makes them one of the best levels I've seen in LBP2. Good luck in the competition and truly wish you all the work is well rewarded with a well-deserved crown

[Jayhawk_er]

You guys gotta try this. OEB spent many a sleepless night for us. Totally worth it. I'm sorry to say I left one thing screwed us up that I hope doesn't ruin it. Thanks for putting up with us OEB!

After watching all of you slave over this entry, It feels great to see it published, even though I didn't make it!
I loved the cutscenes, gameplay, and scenery when I visited you guys in create mode, And I can't wait to play the actual level for myself
I'm proud of you guys, keep up the good work!
Alrighty: Played your level:

-I have yet to see anyone animate a cardboard character as well as you guys did. I am still trying to figure out how you made the Collector run around like an actual sackperson.
-The humor was lighthearted and funny, but not funny enough to ruin the mood. (I still love that clothes hamper gag!)
-The menu system was awesome, and the level select was one of the coolest things Ive seen anyone do to a menu, ever.
-The actual levels were amazing. The gameplay was top notch, and I loved trying to get the bubble combos while I bounced around on the bounce pads.
-The visuals were awesome. You successfully acheived a MM style look from both LBP, and LBP2 world themes.
-Gameplay was nostalgic, but fresh at the same time, and the Meercat boss was top notch fun
-The story was beyond any other contest entry. Im being serious, you guys totally came up with a flipping amazing Plot, which Im sure will land you major points in the contest.

I will deffineatly come back to this when you guys get the boss battle working. Can't wait to see the ending!

Good luck! (I doubt you'll need any! )

[Oddmania]

You did a fantastic job, guys! I didn't expect this at all when I began watching the Introduction level (I mean, I knew it'd be another excellent level, but not that funny! ) What I loved the most are all the (not so) tiny details, such as the Collector's eyebrows and the King's and the Queen's eyelids (when they're tied up). The way they move really adds something to your level. You really had me in the stitches! I also played the first level too, but not thoroughly because I was in somewhat of a hurry and time was running out, I didn't expect the intro to be that full!

Great job, and good luck for the contest you're not going to win! *nose becoming longer *

Played it yesterday and everything about it is amazing. The intro movie, the levels themselves, even the music I adored (plus you've made we want to play it again to win it). Very clever with the story too, which is always good.

[Angelgozen]

DUDE O_O you are one twisted soul to turn little big planet into such a.... DARK MASTERPIECE like that O_O The great storyline of Darkness that has consumed the light, you are a master creator with a team of master creators XD but seriously you are all still messed up XD

[Lockstitch]

Brilliant execution on this project. You guys successfully recreated the vision and feel of MM's levels while adding in your own flair. It really felt like some sort of official expansion pack to me. Great work!

[Jayhawk_er]

Yeah! Panda Force Four! I've loved reading all the reviews and comments, and thanks for all the nice words everyone. Honestly my favorite part of making this was learning I'm not too bad at using the music sequencer. Making your own music is fun! ... And not to mention joey basically rediting all my songs so they actually sounded bearable but hey, who cares about that?

[Joey9898]

I played the levels, they are awesome, just as good as MM makes them. I love how you put twists on the story mode levels. I see a new MM pick coming up. And yay for Joeys!

[Jayhawk_er]

For the record... OneEyedBanshee and Joey stayed up all last night it seemed like finishing the final level. So if you wanna give it a whirl:

Understand they were crunched for time, but to be honest, I think they did a phenomenal job.

[JustinArt]

Man, this level series is seriously epic. Brilliant job!

VISUALS:
The prologue movie is ingeniously well done. The animation of the characters from LBP1 are really funny and clever. The levels has the same visual style as the story levels of LBP1 and LBP2 combined.

SOUND:
Brilliant custom musics. Whoever created these masterpieces deserves to win an award for best custom musics. Great usage of cinematic musics and interactive musics, too.

GAMEPLAY:
The gameplay of the levels brings back memories of playing through LBP2 story levels. The giant evil meerkat boss battle at the end of level 3 is brilliant, too.

OVERALL:
This series deserves to win the contest. Looks like we'll be seeing more of the series soon, judging by the ending of the giant meerkat battle. A and a .

EDIT: Hey you already got the final level finished. Can't wait to check it out the next time I'm on LBP2.

[JakePutz]

Fantastic job you guys, I loved every bit of it! Good luck, I would be shocked if you don't win!

[kirbyman62]

I saw there was another level, so I went to the main level and went on the Level Selector, and I can't work out how to use it. What am I doing wrong? Also, I've got the 'March of the Bees' song and I love it, I listen to it while I'm creating
