The Barande Factory

Archive: 7 posts

Wanted to show you my latest level called "The Barande Factory".
Wanted to make a MGS type of level. It's not based on MGS, just the tools from the package. I'm planning on making a part 2.
There will be a suprise or two for you.
Here are some pictures:

Point machines in the main base.

There is something scary going on here.

Thanks for watching. I know it's not perfect. I will edit it. And feedback from you guys will help. Thanks 		2009-04-30 15:03:00

Ok, this one was on my playlist for some time and I finally got around to playing it last night. And it wasn't too bad, some really enjoyable bits to it.

Pros:
+An early (and obvious) multiplayer section
+Some nice turrets
+Good challenging gameplay
+Nice use of the MGS pack
+A fair amount of vehicle usage

Cons:
-Checkpoints too far from action
-Some bad turret positioning

I liked the level and thought it was pretty decent but lacked a small bit of decoration and overall polish. I rated it 3 stars and tagged "Fun"		2009-05-01 18:32:00

its a fun level, not very exciting, but i did enjoy it.
i thought the way the box turned into a boss was pretty cool.
the visuals are plain but they work.
my favourite is the boss and i liked the squishing at the end
i gave 4star and a heart cos its a nice, good ol fashioned fun		2009-05-03 16:25:00

I managed to play (and die!) before my dad snatched the ps3 for Warhawk X_x

i think Coxy summed up most of the problems, but there are still some things you could have improved to make it a little bit harder x].		2009-05-03 16:34:00

Played this the other day and I think it was a pretty nice level.

+Awesome transforming boss
+Cool vehicular transitions
+Great use of the guns!
+Fun ending

-Some area transitions were lacking
-Areas felt way too open and empty

I especially liked some of the clever area transitions, like when you start out being deployed by the van, or getting dumped out by the truck. On the flipside though there were some transitions that were kind of lacking, like the part where you go into a hole in a wall and go through a mass of empty space before suddenly popping out of an air duct. The air duct part was awesome, but I woulda' liked to see you actually traversing the a/c system rather than have a huge wall blocking my vision.

I really liked the enemies that you have in your level, there's no problem there. One thing you could consider in the future is to make your levels not as open and empty looking, kind of give each room some sort of a purpose other than just a place for Sackboy to run through; that way it makes you feel like you're playing in a world rather than just from area to area.

All in all though, I think the level was super fun and solid. There wasn't anything missing at all in the level, just things to think about toward your next level. I hope to see what you come up with in the future!		2009-05-03 18:57:00
