Create A LittleBigPlanet Level On Live Internet TV Show “Friday Night Gaming” This Friday!
ROSWELL, Georgia – January 21, 2009 – Are you in the Metro Atlanta area and want to show off your LittleBigPlanet design skills to the world? If you come to the Computer ArenA in Roswell, Georgia this Friday night (January 23rd) you might have that chance!
“Friday Night Gaming” is the newest Internet TV Show from All Games Radio’s Bobby Blackwolf which discusses the latest developments in the gaming industry with both a live and online audience, and has spent the last few weeks pitting people at the ArenA against the listeners in online games. This week, though, there is a twist to the challenge – live audience members will create a LittleBigPlanet level during the show, and the online audience will play that level throughout the week, attempting to get the high score before the following Friday.
The level design rules are as follows:
• Creation of the level using LBP’s tools will begin after a brief introduction segment at 8PM, and will last until either the end of the show (or 11PM if the show ends earlier). General ideas can be worked on before the show, but access to the game will not occur until after the show starts and the level must be completed in a three hour timespan.
• The only items and tools available will be those gotten from the first three stages (the Gardens) as well as from the tutorials on the Moon. This means no Metal Gear Solid add-on pack!
• A PlayStation Eye will be supplied.
• The level MUST use the race gates in some way and have a decent amount of score bubbles.
• The level must adhere to all content guidelines set forth by Sony Computer Entertainment America and Media Molecule.
Interested participants may email lbp@fnglive.net expressing their interest and plan on being at the Friday Night Gaming set at the Computer ArenA by 7:45PM at the latest. Interviews and introductions will occur on the air at the beginning of the show. The aim is to have four people designing the level at once, however if more than four arrive then people can switch out throughout the night. RSVP’ing is not manditory, but preferred.
Throughout the show, we will be talking about the latest news in gaming and several hot button issues. At the Computer ArenA, there is a mic at the front of the stage for the local audience to give their opinion on whatever we are talking about. For our online audience, there is both a chat room where comments are read as well as a toll free number for people to call in and interact. CC Gaming will also be back for the next edition of the popular “CC Gaming Hardware Spotlight” where consoles are taken apart, examined, and sometimes even fixed. Admission to the live show and interacting with the hosts and audience is ABSOLUTELY FREE!
After the show, the level will be put up on the PlayStation Network under the PSN ID “FNGaming” for viewers around the world to play. A competition will begin based on the 1 Player Score on this level, and will run until 5PM Eastern on Friday, January 30th. To enter the competition, people will have to both play the level and send a friend request to PSN ID “FNGaming”. The top score on the “1 Player” leaderboard at 5PM Eastern will be deemed the winner and will be notified over PSN. Prizes are still being determined, but Internet Fame is guaranteed!
