The Site Part 1 - MAJOR LEVEL UPDATE

Archive: 31 posts


The Site Part 1 - Part 2 Demo out nowpaddy_johnston
PART 1 - You find your self in a building site. An EGYPTIAN building site! Traverse through the site and find hidden prizes, avoid danger, solve a puzzle(s?), meet the workers and even unlock a minigame! I'm going to start work on part 2 soon, which takes place in a cave(wow)! Apply for a job at the site now! Sorry it's short, but I sorta went rampant with stickers and detail so the thermo filled up fast.

PART 2(not complete) - Little Wingless, Pharoah Pudge is trying to scare the bats out of the caves with huge buzzsaws! The Egyptian Bat God has asked you to help his children(the bats) and show Pudge that you mean business!

Screens(thanks to Hybrid Leader):

I liked this level because it was a unique idea, and the atmosphere was really good.
I also liked- characters, finishing (stickers, etc), good use of switches
I thought these could be improved - gameplay (example: the pit with spikes was hard to jump across, the electric mummy was only one plane)
Overall a good level, :star::star::star::star:.
I was also wondering if you made that crane yourself. If so, then well done!

Please give my level "The Lord of the Rings Assault on Minas Tirith" a try.

Please give my level "The Lord of the Rings Assault on Minas Tirith" a try. Everything is custom. I will probably reduce the number of planes that the enemy mummy is on so you can't run past it. The spike pit is to add a bit of challenge(although cheap). Sorry but I don't like Lord of Rings. For people who thought it was too short the next part will have less stickers so it'll have room for more stuff.

Add photos soon, this level is really funny and extremily cute.
I gave it 4 stars since it's maybe too short, but it's wonderfully clear and with a good yet simple art direction, and the mummies are wonderful.

Could you direct me to a topic were people will record your level for you? I dont have a camera or video recording. The next part should be more thermo friendly since it will mostly be made of metal with few stickers except for the mummies and bats. The levels short cuz I used WAY too much stickers.

I suggest to widen the range of the saws and slow the, Will do. I'd also like to say that this part will include a minigame and a talking motorcycle. Theres also gonna be part 3 with a boss so I can save thermo and stuff. Also, how can't you die on the mummys? I'm not sure but is it cuz they dont go past the checkpoint? cuz I think they do but they might not. On the buzzsaw mummies you are meant to stay between them while shooting them(run and gun)

Eh very nice level (Part1)!! True LBP style!
I just love your characters! Good work and nice ideas!
:star::star::star::star::star: and heart

Part 2 seems nice also, even if i'm not a fan of "cave" level.

Did you buy the History pack? there's some nice stuff for egyptian theme!

Most of it look bland and I dont like the stickers since they don't go with the original game stickers(my problem with monster pack). In the second level I'm planning that you gradually move upwards and near the end your back in the desert.

Hi, paddy_j

Your lvl looks great, dude. Good job on selecting the music. they perfectly fit the theme!
Gameplay is also great! All the obstacles are nice. it was fun playing through your lvl.

Two little complaints
I didn't see you do any layering. it's not necessary to have it in the lvl but if you could do some, it would spice up your lvl

It's a little too short and too easy. Don't you think? I don't mean you have to make a hard one. but I mean do something that can really kill people. for example place 3 obstacles together, add dangerous creature, or put something unexpected.

Overall, it was fun :star::star::star::star: + a heart great job

Hey, I've worked on Part 2 some more, but I want some screens. Should I put up a locked level and put the key in a code room? I might do that to get screens for my other WIP too. Part 2 has thin layer terrain and thin layer versions of most/all the characters(for decoration). The ground is also multilayered too.2009-10-14 15:13:00

Hey Paddy, I played your level and wanted to post a small review.

To start of, I really liked your mummies, and the fact they where using machinery to put them together was very funny, also using the partially build pyramids as gameplay elements was a nice touch!
I did feel however that the big candles did not fit the scenery, you might want to rethink that a little bit.
Also for a pyramid construction site (And ive seen my share in my enviromental artist years) it was quite original!
Though a little short and a tad too easy it was quite the fun to play!
Will play part 2 as well!

I gave it :star::star::star::star: and tagged it "FUN"


Somewhere today me and TheAdipose will be releasing "In pursuit of the meddling magpie" and we would love it if you took a look at it and tell us what you think in the thread we will create for it!

cheers!

Ah! I really liked this level.

The charaters were really well made and funny,and i liked the simple yet good-looking scenery you managed to put up there.

It could feel a bit empty at times and I think it was a little boring that you Only got to go to the Right,and not up,dow and to the left too,but that does not stop the level for being alot of fun and a worty level in my epic hearted list!

4 stars and a heart for you.

Hooo! I love these types of levels! great simple game play, wonderful characters and entertaining really. I love all the moving things in this level, really makes it stand out and more bold.

Only thing that bugged me was when trying to get a head onto the mummy, I kept grabbing the floor instead of the switch. I also thought it could of done with more then one enemy... that one by itself just seems out of place really. The best thing I loved was the characters, I love seeing characters collage out of stickers then materials.

5 stars tagged beautiful + heart

I have to agree with dajda on this one, a true LBP style level.
Really good use of materials and obsatcles/level mechanisams, a lot of creators use the history pack for eygptian themed levels but here the appearance benefits for not using it,clean,crisper slightly reminiscent of the psp eygptian sections.
Nice level structure with witty dialogue and the characters constructing the pyramids interact with the player and drive the plot along without interfering with the pace.
Nice to see a lot of animation which really brings the level to life.

Hi Paddy

Played your level twice now, and really enjoyed it. The mummy's were cool, and it made me chuckle they were all wearing hard hats lol, very 1000bc ish! You gave a lot of stuff away, which is cool, and you did the right thing by giving people the CHOICE on whether they wanted it or not.
Really liked the seesaw puzzle, it took a few tries the first time, and thats a GOOD thing! The moving block on wheels is tough to get moving, but once it starts it's fine, and as a puzzle, again, works very well.
A little short, but a lot of people like it like that, stops 'em getting board (Maybe I should take note of that with my levels)

As for the the bat/rabbit monster at the end lol, that made me laugh so much lol, though he didn't seem to have a point, other than mentioning that the Pharaoh was building over our caves.....should be a GREAT link to a sequel me thinks??

So,score out of ten.

Game play 8.6
Graphics 8.3 (should give it a ten for the monster at the end)
Originality 8.8
Length 8

8.4, **** fine score!

Thanks. It's a pretty old level(one of my first) but good to see there's still interest2010-03-13 16:49:00

Fantastic level! Very good visual style. Nice scenery and cool looking mummy characters.
I like the little extra's like the sticker switches, particular the one bringing down the race- gate. Also: a lot of nice prize-bubbles.

I can't really find much that needs to be improved. The little things I did notice, have already been commented on:
-Grabbing the floor in stead of the switch at the rolling head puzzle.
-The single monster-mummy being somewhat out of place.
-Gameplay being only left to right.
-The wheeled block being rather difficult to get moving.
All very minor stuff, that doesn't really detract from the very enjoyable gameplay.

I was interested: as you are not doing The Site part 2, do you have a new project your working on?

To all your points:

1. Yes, that's a problem. I'll see what I can do about it. First things first, I'll remove all those cardboard lizards etc. I might put them on platforms instead of on sponge.

2. Yep, I agree, it was a thermo issue(it was my first level so I didn't realise that stickers ate up thermo like an obese kid)

3. I'll try and improve on this. One of my flaws is awful scenery that mostly goes in a straight line with little variation. I've learnt alot from PSP LBP though so I'll try harder in my next level

4. This is more cuz the way I've made the big mummies arms tilt to 1 position and stay there is a bit dodgy. I'll look into it

Also, no Part 2 D: but I might try a remake some time.
