Back To The Future: Paradox (music needed)

[Mr_Fusion•]

Hello all, after nearly a year of working on my Back To The Future stuff I am putting forward a sneak peak of what I have so far.

I am a pretty slow builder and with the Feedback and Spotlight Crew stuff I don't get much time to build but I really want to try and have something ready for the upcoming LBN Competition. Not to win, just to have a time frame to aim towards.

The General Idea

A large multi level BTTF game. I want to make it as screen accurate as possible. With props and such being collectable for diehard fans but also generally fun for causal people that remember one movie has a hoverboard in it.

I want to share a lot of it almost to the extent of an unofficial level pack. I have been building the scale off the Universal Backlot Plans as well as various other reference materials.

----------

The structure

The entire adventure will be a sackbot based 1 player game. The player will switch between controlling Marty and Doc as well as the DeLorean, and there will be three different types of gameplay.

• Free Roam Exploration to collect items to unlock the next part of the game, this type of gameplay will be in the free roam areas of Hill Valley.

• DeLorean Levels which will likely be stand alone mini-challenges for score.

Theses DeLorean Levels are intended to be cinematic, with small bite size play sections intercut with other short cinematics. I already have published a level in this style; 'Miserable Flying Weather'.

• Stand Alone Platform Stages

Both the DeLorean and Stand Alone levels will be small sections that follow the movie pretty closely in cutscene format, with the mini games just being short BTTF themed stages.

The reason for breaking out the stand alone levels is due to thermo, as well as avoiding getting pulled into making too many cutscenes.

----------

For now; here are some teaser photos.

Great Scott, Future Boy!

Additional Information

I would like other BTTF fans to be able to grab almost everything I make but also don't want it to be a prize spamfest.

The majority of BTTF doesn't really lend it self to a LBP stages so it s about making the right parts fit. On the whole my goal is not to tell the entire saga just touch on key moments from the movies, and have the Free Roam just give off the vibe of BTTF

Any advice is welcome especially what would be great to see in terms of telling a truncated BTTF story and what can be left out because it would suck as a game stage.

Well that's it for now so;

To Be Continued...

looks awesome man. can't wait to see this come to fruition.

[Mr_Fusion•]

Thanks Bio, I will be very much looking forward to seeing you add it to your queue. For now; a video of the existing stage; Miserable Flying Weather

Looks promising. I like the attention to detail with the sets, the signs and brick textures. Are those wires and microchips around the wheel arches of the DeLorean?

[Megaboy93]

Wowza, I just watched the back to the future movie before coming to this thread. Hope to see it done soon.

[Mr_Fusion•]

Roughly captured clip of the intro to my series. I have updated it slightly since capturing. As well as adding a secondary scene.

Yeah, I used the wires set to visible for the model. I should also thank you for your Japanese fonts, there are several places in 2015 where they come in handy




Some more shots of Hill Valley 1985 & 1955

Wow ! It looks very professional !

[pivottt]

You sir, are a hero! I always want to watch these movies. Although very cliché, they never bore me. One day I'll end up knowing the lines by heart I really would like to play it, just the doc costumes are worth taking the time!

[Mr_Fusion•]

I really would like to play it, just the doc costumes are worth taking the time!

I plan to give away a lot of the stuff I built, including the costumes. Doc uses some of the Heavy Rain DLC but I hope that they still will be accessible for most players.

[Mr_Fusion•]

I am now looking for any musicians that may want to take a stab at creating BTTF music, both film score and Soundtrack music are needed.

[Kaboosh99]

I've watched the BTTF movies when I was 8 or 9 years old, but I don't remember how the music goes. I do have a friend, called Punkwill, that might be able to help. He is actually brilliant at music... he made the music in my inFamous level in 10 minutes. Unfortunately, he's not online that much. I suggest you track him down. Only problem is, he's even younger than me, and I'm pretty young. So there's a chance that he hasn't watched BTTF movies before. Hope this helps anyway.

Looking great so far fusion

If you're still looking for the score, Statik and I could use a side project to give us the occasional break from printz

Hi Mr. Fusion.
Just been looking at your set designs and animated intro movie.
Gotta say man...the are stunning. You have captured the look and feel of one of the best movie series of all time (although I still want them to release a single six hour DVD of the whole movie 'all three' joined togeather, lol). Anyhow, If you like, I'd love to try and help out whereever I can (If your looking for people to help out that is). This IS going to be something special I think....
But for so far....Really well done buddy. Love to create with you sometime

Thanks for the kind words! I am frantically trying to inject some fun into the sets I have built and if you have any ideas for what would be a good gamey bit to the movies I am very open to suggestions. I have a few pivotal parts I want to touch on and make gameplay from but yeah; any BTTF fans are welcome to suggest stuff here or via PM .

"What Did I Tell You?! 88 Miles Per Hour!"

Top Down Racer style.



Still a work in progress but I think it looks OK so far.
