look at this movie: YouTube - 6 Minutes of LBP from Leipzig at 4:05, 2 sackboys are at a spawnpoint, the bright circle around the spawnpoint is totally bright, at 4:10, someoen respawns an from the bright circle is only 3/4 left. Then, both sackboys die and respawn, there's only 1/4 left,at 4.18 another sackboy dies and there's nothing left of it. Do you know what I mean? What'll be next when someone dies again?

Game over I guess, I'm sure I've read that you can set the number of spawns yourself though.

I believe I read some where that if you die enough times before you get to the the next spawning point. Which looks like four times according to this video. That you are sent back to the previous spawning point before that one. It doesn't mean the level is over. You just get set back.

I've seen more respawns per spawnpoint. I believe you can adjust it... Maybe adjust the number of lives the checkpoint has. Seen the circle around the gate close less in other videos. So, relax.

Yep, this is a great feature. You can have unlimited spawns if you want, or you can make a really hardcore level with very limited spawns. An essential feature for a platformer.

i've seen this in a video too but at a certain moment the ring will be switching from red to white, probably meaning you only have 1 live left. EDIT: in the last moment you actually see the ring blinking red

Well spotted I can see myself having many frustrating nights playing punishing levels with little or no respawns.

Yeah this is great, I totally will be playing around with spawn points in my levels. This is a great way to create ramping in your levels. I hope there is a way to let people know how many respawns there is in the level, I wouldn't want someone to play through and have unimited but at the end have none and be made about that. But I just think it would create a difficulty to the levels.

I remember Alex Evans (I think) saying that you may not put "infinite lives". Still, 10 lives per checkpoint would be more than enough. You could add more checkpoints if you want more lives, anyway.

Yeah I was not sure either on that, but yeah 10 would be enought. the only reason I see it for is if you are creating a arena maybe and don't want people to actual die.

That'd be no fun! How would you win then? d:

I only recall Mr. Evans stating that you wouldn't have unlimited lives in the single player levels. Nothing about being able to set infinite lives in your own creations.

Wow, sharp eye there, and yeah, I think you can limit the number of spawns.
