LovelyBigPlanet

As you might've guessed from the title: a LittleBigPlanet clone.
As of yet this doesn't mean a full clone, just an easy implementation.
The goal is to provide a platform for users to create content, share it with others, and most important PLAY.

This probably won't be done anytime soon.
Released using MIT/X11 license.

What is LittleBigPlanet? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LittleBigPlanet
Where is it? http://github.com/bartbes/lovelybigplanet/tree/master
Are there releases? https://www.ohloh.net/p/lovelybigplanet/packages
I will try to keep the code as stable as possible from this point on by doing developing in branches. Releases are always stable, nonetheless, I can not be held responsible for any damages, etc, and the quality of final builds can not be determined using nightly/alpha/beta builds. The code is actively being developed and there is no guarantee functionality will be the same during development process. Everything is subject to change.

Status: Looking for help
People needed for:
  • Physics (platform engine)
  • Networking (yes, probably me :P)
  • Editor
  • Artwork
  • Sounds (thanks, osgeld)
  • Ideas
  • Beta-testing
  • Anything I forgot?
Signed up:
  • qubodup: artwork
  • osgeld: editor & artwork
  • Xcmd: ideas & beta-testing
  • appleide: beta-testing
  • Robin: physics, editor & beta-testing
  • Snakeface: artwork

Ok, thanks guys, I'm going to set up github this afternoon and start working on it. (probably will only be the base though, but that is until some platform-guy comes along)

This 'll be cool. ;) You probably need more than one beta testers so I'll be a second one. :)

Sounds cool. I think I can work on Physics and do some Beta-testing, or basically anything except for artwork.

Thanks, I'm setting up github at this very moment.

@Robin: did I write you down for the right things?

EDIT:
@Everyone who has signed up: can you tell me your github accounts so I can add them to the repo?

EDIT2:
And I should mention: MIT/X11 license.

2.5D, just like the original (though it probably will be a somewhat different way of 2.5D, it's kind of a gray area)
