A Level Design Competition
Do you believe in fairytales? If so, this is the contest for you!
If you can create the best level based on a classic fairytale, you just may end up as the queen or king of your own LBP fairytale!
But this is no normal fairytale, this is a LittleBigLand fairytale.
So in one way or another you have to incorporate LittleBigPlanet in the story.
How do you do that ?
That's up to you, just make sure your fairytale level has a littleBigPlanet twist in it and is based on one of the fairytales from the list below. create a level based on a fairytale with LittleBigPlanet built into the story.
For example:
1) Key characters from the original fairytale story replaced with people from the
Media Molecule team and famous people from the community of LittleBigPlanet and other people involved with littlebigplanet.
2) Key parts of the original fairytale story replaced with the story of the rise of
Media Molecule and LittleBigPlanet.
3) Names of the level can be changed to something of littlebigplanet, for example: Alice in LittleBigPlanet.
4) You can put LittleBigPlanet logos in your level to get the right atmosphere.
5) Change the location of where the fairytale takes place, the fairytale castle can be the Media Molecule head quarters?
but above all use your imagination to input a LittleBigPlanet theme into the level rather then re-telling the original fairytale story. that is what will make your level stand out from the rest.
