LBPC #8 - Aquatic Acceleration

[fumetsusozo]

oh i do have a small question i forgot to ask in my auto scrolling post. just to make sure, would a fast underwater auto scrolling level be considered a fast pace underwater level according to the rules? it's the level itself that is being emitted and moving fast, not the sackperson themselves. from my point of view it should be fine since the rules just mostly said a speedy pace underwater level, don't think it said Sack had to be exactly moving fast itself. :P *mew

I already asked =p

yes it counts

[fumetsusozo]

I already asked =p

where? if by PM. then i'd like them to say it here to me anyways still.

[Dav1d0]

ye of little faith

yeah it was by pm... immediately after I learned of your intentions actually XD

also... I was told that somebody already asked... but if it wasn't you... that means we have even more competition. So its shaping up to be a good contest.

that Don't surprise me. it's 1 good way to get rid of the sackpeople are slow in water problem. and like i already said. when i saw a lot of people saying they have a idea but it's secret. that gave me the idea most likely half of them people maybe also had the auto scroll idea. :P *mew

[Dav1d0]

well here's the PM:

since you're the only judge who's actually seen my latest post.... I assume a scrolling level is ok? because it's the only cunning plan I managed to come up with that seemed to follow the rules.

Well, to be be absolutely honest, someone else has already asked us about this by PM and the answer was that it would be OK. Does sound like you're not going to be the only one doing it though, lol! You'll still be in a minority I suspect.

Hope it helps
and a big thanks to Lass for taking the time to answer it, hope the re-post isn't minded Lass (it's helping others after all but that minority probably just went out the window) =p

I know posting this is contest suicide but I just feel community is more important than a pixel based prize XD

The challenge now is making the scroller unique, but then again... I expect a non scroller level to do just as well... if not better.

[fumetsusozo]

Well I'm gonna be trying to mix both level types in tbh. also just to say, mine i've done before are pretty unique... well of course not many people in general have seen my levels. most of my levels are a work in progress still on my moon with only a handful of my friends who have tested them :P *mew

Do hope no-one's copying or entering any locked levels...
Just heard ()Literally ) Of someone entering this contest, who published there level as locked...
And then that someone else , also entering, played it using the enter locked levels glitch...I do hope it's not to copy it...

This guy ( http://lbp.me/u/FreddyFerrari ) played my locked level for the contest and now i am mad because i fear he will copy it

[Dav1d0]

Surely if you didn't check the copy option while publishing you're ok?

Also... you should all do what game developers do... publish it under a pseudo name (eg. Project Aqua Vita) and then switch to the LBPC8 title a few days before the deadline... this will help protect your levels from potential cheaters.

It already happened in LBPC7.
Contest Crew can't do anything about it.
Maybe it's just out of curiosity, since there wasn't any kind of copied stuff in the final results.
My suggestion
If you want to save a backup online, set it as sub-level

Shaping up to be a good contest here, but Im surprised no one used my idea of using invisible rubber tpush Sackboy through the water.Its up for grabs now, seeing as Ive pulled out

[nysudyrgh]

^You revealed my plan. D:
Now I'll have to send you to The Void.

People are lvl snooping ? Haa. I never put my spawn gate reachable for sneaky players to see till its time. Maybe a lockcode in the lvl to teleport u to the starting point so no one can be nosey. Its why i do. I might a few convos behind . Busy building

[burton18000]

I have now put a hazordous object in the start area so if you do get in ZAP! so im not too worried about anymore people getting in. My level was onyl 50% done anyways
