EDIT: Aha, I have the answer, no more posts please. Ok, I have 2 questions, of course noone will know the exact answer but I would like your thoughts on it. 1. I have recently heard you can only publish 3 levels, I take it that when you have 3 levels you can overite some of the levels so you can upload different ones? 2. I have heard some people talk of levels such as 4 player maze as an idea. But I though no matter whether you play online or offline (or mixture) that you have to all fit in one screen. Therefore you can't all spawn in different places? Will.

As for the 1st answer, yea you can delete one to make room for another. BUT, if your levels get popular and a lot of votes, you can be rewarded with additional slots, so you can have more levels up online at the same time. And as for your second answer, I heard somewhere that you all don't need to be on the screen, I'm not 100% sure, but I also heard is that the screen will keep moving back so I don't really see a problem unless it gets to the point were you need a microscope. Hope that helped

Well, No one knows as much about the game to give you a definite answer, but there's nothing stopping us from trying; General knowledge and common sense, mixed with the limited information we already know about the game might just give us the right answers, so here goes! 1- I believe, that after publishing a level, there is no way to "un-publish" it and publish a new one in its place, therefore overwriting it....But because we don't know a whole lot, I could very well be wrong! Who knows, deleting an already published levels might just restore you that one upload slot! But then again it might not, we're just gonna have to wait and see! 2- Well, I personally, have not seen any videos in which players spawn in different areas from one another, but that is not entirely an impossibility, it is just very unlikely... Usually, from what I've seen and know about the game, players spawn at the starting "Spawn Circle". Now, whether you can place that circle anywhere in your level, from the left, right, middle or even high above, we're not sure. We do know, though that you can indeed begin a level from the right, instead of the left, as it was shown in a video a while back, but that does not answer the question of whether we can place the "Spawn Circle" anywhere in our level. Now, for your question; I don't think we have the ability to create several starting spawn points, like we have the ability to create checkpoints, so I highly doubt players can spawn in different sections of the level. I believe the host, or the first player to become host, must act as the "leader", and if one of his teammates is left behind, they will "die" and spawn in the checkpoint nearest to the leader. Hope that helped! =D

Yep, Stix has hit the nail on the sackboy. Whoever is marked as the host is the anchor for respawning, so players will follow his or her lead, thereby avoiding players getting seperated by too great a distance.

lol, I guess some of you haven't seen the latest news. (Directed at the 1st question) Credit fully goes to docpac for finding it. https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=p=28712#post28712 I heard you can only upload three levels... This isn't true. There is a limit to the number of levels you can have online at a time, but it's more than three. I won't give the actual number as it may change again before the game launches. Can I replace a level I've previously uploaded? Absolutely. There was mention that you can get your limit increased, how does this work? This is true. Creators who put out a lot of high quality levels may have their limit increased. The exact process whereby this happens is still being worked on, however it is likely to be awarded in an on the fly basis rather than in an automated fashion. Why is there a limit in the first place? For many of the positive reasons stated in this thread so far, and also so that we can keep the growth of the shared database to a manageable size - if we were to see 50k new levels published in a single day, many of them "tests" or works in progress we'd miss a lot of quality content. With no limits there would also be no reason for anyone to ever delete a level they'd uploaded, so pretty soon the collection of shared levels would become very large and unwieldly with a large quantity of incomplete or test levels. As with all the features of the online game we'll be paying close attention to how it's used once it's out there refining and improving features and functionality in response to how they're being used.

You can place a spawn point anywhere you want BUT as far as I've seen players pretty much spawn together. The screen zooms way out though so you may be able to have players take multiple paths to the same objective.

sometimes when players go offscreen they'll have a little circle on the sides of the screen to indicate where they are, like in the PAX08 vids with the rocket car races.

The latest official info I've received was that you have to remain within the same screen. If you're off-screen for too long, you're going to die. But the screen is able to zoom out quite far, so you can be quite far apart each other.

you can definately place the spawn start anywhere on a level as said. When we get the game and get a feel for the size the 4 player maze could be from how far the screen zooms out so you can still see everyone before people start dying then we'll know the limits. But when you have found how big it can be a way around the multi spawn start to have one entrance on each corner and have the spawn start above the maze with 4 pathways leading to each entrance. Or the start just has 4 paths that lead different ways to the end
