H4H Level. Need ideas for a name of the level

Archive: 19 posts


Yes you read it right but its not what you think

I'm currently working on a level where you begin in a regular "H4H" style level (you what I'm talking about, basic sponge and darkmatter, pleads for hearts etc. ) but sackboy revolts and dives into the head of the Human controling him and teaches them what LBP is really about.

Now, this is where I have a problem. If I give the level a title like "H4H heaven" I will reach my target audience, but will get bombed with 1 stars from the crowd who don't apprieciate me taking a poke at the whole H4H system, and therefore it won't get very far.

The best I can come up with is "Inside the mind of a "H4H"er", as this has H4H in the title but also suggests its not just a H4H level so other proper gamers might take a whizz at it and enjoy it. The only thing with this is that it kind of gives the game away.

Anyone got any suggestions for a title?

Oh, that's tricky. I think H4H heaven is the best one. It'll trick all those nasty little h4h'ers into playing it.

My advice, is make it copyable, so anyone can publish it, then it'll spread around LBP like a virus! But a good virus. Also, if you put a key for it in your already popular levels, most of the people will play it anyway.

Hihi huhu hahaha. Do that. This is awesome!
Forget all kindness. Make it reaaally nasty:arg:

Hm, for the title... how about "Just another H4H lvl"?

It already has this sarcastic touch in it, but doesn't give away the idea so abviously.

Saw it, was like awww... then saw your name, was like JOKE?, saw the thing and saw it's an actual level O_o.

Hm... H4H heave maybe... I WOULD suggest making the description h4h, but then it will just be bombarded with h4h requests by people who didn't play it...

hehe I saw the name of the level pop up when you published it locked once, and I was like "w00t tearing down the system rawwks" O_o

Eh... You could call it "All you can eat trophy buffet"... no wait.

I like vanemiera's one. You could even put the question mark in as part of the title.

What about "Most challenging H4H level"(or something like that)
Like that it should attract H4Hers and some decent players as they'll be curious to see a H4H level that had some effort put into it.

I actually don't have an idea for a name of this level you're doing, but I really like vanemiera's sugggestion, that would probably trick the h4h'ers into playing it and the non-h4her's should be able to sense the sarcasm in the text and play the level to have a laugh.2009-04-11 09:31:00

Good idea to get at them annoying H4Hers lol

I like Vanemiera and Silverleon's suggestions of the name.

The problem will be getting REAL players to actually see it and appreciate it. Like you can see with this thread it has hardly got any attention as people are just seeing the H4H and not clicking to see what your doing.
Obviously people like me that know you, know that it had to be something like this and took a look. But loads of genuine people that maybe don't know who you are as they're either new or don't come on regular, just skip past the thread and dismiss it. This may be the problem you get with the level

Still, at least it will annoy the H4Hers lol

I like the idea of a virus to terminate all these bugs...(H4h'ers)

Every time I see the title of this thread I almost delete it, then I see who the original author is and realise it is a parody level. Looking forward to checking this one out.

Agree; but put at the start of the level who made it originally or we're just as bad as them, unless it's a communist level :eek:

God I was going to do something like this, only I was going to make it just a bit more satirical. I actually had some trouble myself coming up with a name, but I do agree with olit123, that would be genius!2009-04-11 15:10:00

The bad thing about this is that a lot of the H4H people don't play the levels, they just see H4H in the level title, heart it and post a comment. That's why maybe "Inside the mind of a 'H4H'er" would be better. I will definitley look at this level if it gets finished though because it sounds like a good idea.

Also, I think MM should make H4H a blocked word- it would stop most H4H levels.

I was thinking that and I honestly think it would be great.

But then again, how will MM benefit from this? If you block H4H levels, quite a large proportion of the online community will disappear, and this will happen almost instantaneously. All because the people who want a couple of trophies have to do their business the hard way and actually create a good level to earn their hearts. It's pathetic, I know, and I really do wish that H4H levels could be abolished with such ease. However, I doubt that this will ever happen...

Silverleon's - "Most challenging H4H level" sounds best IMO.2009-04-11 22:06:00

How about "Stabbed in the H4H"? or "Operation H4H" seeing as its a sackboy revolt/covert operation of some sort... and the second doesn't necessarily give the title away2009-04-15 02:02:00

You should name it:
Heart 4 Heart H4H Heart4Heart <3

Something like that so if someone searches text for any of those they will see it and go onto it.
