Just add water?

Archive: 556 posts


That's a good question. If it is a sort of temporary upgrade to our existing version of LBP, would we still have access to our own objects, levels (on moon) etc? I certainly hope so, since I've got to work on some setups I want to test the water with.2009-08-22 17:03:00

My guess would be that it is a completely different file that you can use separately from the disc. Can someone in the online create beta confirm or deny that? There's no way that would break the terms of an NDA.2009-08-22 17:25:00

Please keep beta discussion in the beta thread (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=t=15320).

The game beta uses separate game data and save data files. It copies everything over initially (objects, levels etc.) but after that, nothing can be transferred between the two.

Good point, otherwise what's to stop us from copying a water-filled level for use outside the beta. That would, however, possibly result in taking up a nasty bit of HDD.

Edit: Ah, Killian got there before me, thanks man!

Edit: oops, sorry, never realised I was in this thread. Back on topic, I hope we get the toilet flush sound effect form the video!

LOOKIE! see that little thingy? its hard to tell from the photo, but the white dot ontop lights up as it submerges.

its clearly an above/under water switch

It is very exciting though - first new switch since release

i wonder if you'll be able to set the cloudy look of the water... i can imagine a zillion of user-made underwater cities but the lights underwater would look beautiful.... speaking of underwater, how fast do you swim... will you get a submarine for fast transportation? will someone make a submarine?.....2009-08-22 19:39:00

I'd say this is coming in 2-3 weeks maybe. It would be kind of strange for them to announce something months before it's release but it's possible - it is like the biggest update so far

Also i want to remake the Tomb Wader level from Crash Bandicoot 3

Grr... That was my idea D:<

Actually speaking of submariners, some underwater related sounds would be very useful. Personally I would like that characteristic "bing" of sonar as a sound, or maybe whalesong.2009-08-23 00:30:00

yeah, I kind of liked that tune too. seems like it'd have alot of possibilities for mood setting.

you know, I like the way they swim on the surface; cute little dog-paddle. I think I want to make a dog-paddle race

Ooh, I think I know what level I am going to make! Anyone remember the PS1 game "Overboard"? Where you had a pirate ship (acceleration was r1 for some odd reason) and if you lost enough health men started jumping out and you would collect them to regain some health, and there were power-ups that could turn your ship into a paddle-steamer or airship!

Resulting in, a transforming, sackboy operated pirate ship!

It was called "Shipwreckers" in other regions.

How about some moray eels for that cave?

I vaguely remember that game as a Demo.

Anyways, when I get my hands on water, I'm going to be a doing a level with it...

I still want to make the water temple from Tombi 2

I've been wanting to make that level for ages, and luckily the water we have would be perfect for it

This looks like a great new option. I think little splash ponds are really cute. Like the one the shark is in. This is a creators pack so would there be introductory levels for it? I mean I assume there are other items from the last bit said.

Was a candy cane sticker decoration out last year? I just spotted one on the....diving board guy's diving board.

Although it's quite limiting i actually can't imagine water working in any other way

I'll only be using water for levels that are water themed, if i'm making a level that only has a small amount of water i'll probably do it the old fashioned way

As long as the water level rising doesn't have a built in sound effect of it's own I don't see why we can't set the water level speed to 0.1 to create the illusion of ponds if need be.2009-08-23 18:47:00

I don't think there will be a level pack, as the process of doing so would most likely sort the majority of the bugs out.2009-08-23 22:00:00
