]]> 30 Apr 2007 06:13:33 The LittleBigPlanet experience starts with players learning about their character's powers to interact physically with the environment. There are obstacles to explore, bits and pieces to collect and puzzles to solve -- requiring a combination of brains and collaborative teamwork. As players begin to explore, their creative skills will grow and they will be ready to start creating and modifying their surroundings -- the first step to sharing them with the whole community.

Characters have the power to move anything in this glued and stitched-together landscape; they have the power to design, shape and build both objects and entire locations for others to play.

There's no complicated level editor; all of these skills can be learnt by simply playing the game. Creativity is part of the gameplay experience and playing is part of the creative experience. Players can make their world as open or as secretive to explore as they like.

When it's ready, they can invite anyone within the LittleBigWorld community to come and explore their patch -- or can go and explore everybody else's.

]]> 10 Feb 2007 11:57:25 The objective of Solid Balance is to build a tower (preferably very high) with the given elements. Since the tower and every element obey the laws of physics, the player has to pay attention to balance the tower and to carefully position every element.

During the game more and more elements with increasingly complicated shapes have to be stacked on top of each other. In doing so, the time available to place an element decreases with every level. The faster an element is placed, the more points the player gets. If an element falls upon the floor, the level is lost and the player has to begin again.

When the rule "no equal colors" is switched on the level is also lost if two elements of the same color touch each other. The higher the tower at the end of a level is, the greater the altitude bonus which the player gets is. The highest points are awarded to those players, who build the highest towers as fast as possible while obeying the rules.

As blocks are destroyed, connected blocks are freed to move independently and blocks above will fall to fill the empty spaces. Unlike other puzzle games, the game board is a living entity where the blocks obey the laws of physics. Every game is a unique experience!

Actually, just a prototype of an idea for that kind of game. Mainly, I wanted to learn some networking stuff (used raknet) and practice some more 3d stuff in OpenGL with C++.
