Which creator's do you want to see make a comeback?

Archive: 109 posts

There are lots of creators who have seemed to disappear over the months since LBP first came out. Maybe they got bored, maybe they ran out of ideas, or maybe they're just busy. But a lot of the creator's I once considered some of the best in the game don't make levels anymore...

Here's who I'd like to see back:

ZX497: Famous for discovering the anti-color glitch, and the levels made from it. He also has a couple other fantastic series that are a little underplayed.

Voltiare: Pretty well known, created the amazing H.A.T.E. which still has some of the most creative gameplay elements in LBP. Last I heard he was working on a shipwreck type level that looked great.

Thegide: He hasn't been gone that long, but it seems like it. His levels are incredibly varied, and are some of the best LBP has to offer.


That's all I can think of at the moment, though I'm sure there are tons more. Who else needs to get back to creating?		2009-11-18 16:29:00

I'd really like Wyth to come back and do another Jack McSetback level. I loved the first two and they still stand up well today - original and varied gameplay and just great fun to play.2009-11-18 16:40:00

How about Nattura, he hasn't made anything in a while has he?2009-11-18 19:35:00

Hmmm, I would really love to see Wyth come back as shropshirelass mentioned. Also I'd quite like to see RenderFX start making levels again, he was my first favourite creator.

Also, as dsgeeno1 said, sickvionkey should start creating again, he/she made trial of the seasons part 1 (which is one of my favourite levels,) but then just stopped. 		2009-11-18 19:42:00

Thegide got burned out from LBP. He's still on my friends list, but moved on to other games. I'd certainly love it if he built another one (he was working on a Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy level when he just pooped out - he built a GREAT yellow tractor for it....)

Nattura, I think, somehow lost ability to get into his PSN account or something and got discouraged.

My #1 that I'd like to see do more? NinjaMicWZ. I was SO glad when he came back for a bit and pulled off False Idols III and Free at Last - 2 complete classics!

Hmmm.... I would also love to see OCK come back, but fat chance on that - he informed me recently he traded in his copy of LBP. Just the other day I went back and played "218" again.... and it blew me away all over again. It's fantastic when you go back to an old level and it not only holds up, but is better than you remember it.

How about "Venemiera"? Still on my friends list, and I see him going into LBP and playing levels - but hasn't come out with anything in a while. But wow, what a talent!		2009-11-18 19:43:00

I miss Ninja too.

OCK - for sure CCubbage. One of my very early inspirations were his levels. Great stories.
Nattura - I'd love to see him creating again - amazing lighting!
Mindphaser - loved his series and his lighting.		2009-11-18 20:36:00

What happened to Nattura was that his profile corrupted. He used to get some sort of message that said something like "your save is corrupted, would you like to load a backup". He just continued on like this until the beta. Once the beta hit, he tried to load his profile and it wouldn't import into the beta because of the corruption issue. He posted a few times in the beta forums trying to get some sort of help, but to no avail. I think this was the straw that broke the camel's back. But yes, I would love to see Nattura return. He was a great creator and a super nice guy.

I would also like to see Marynor, Dimo1138, RagnarokRed, Vmethos, and RenderFX make another level. There are many others, too, but I cannot think of them off the top of my head.		2009-11-18 20:40:00

Yeah a lot of my friends have given up on LBP because they had their data corrupted. I wonder if it's the same for a few more of the creators being mentioned.		2009-11-18 21:09:00

Great question, and the first author I thought of was Wyth.

But looking at my hearted list I'm starting to notice a trend, half of the levels I have hearted are made by authors who stopped creating a long time ago. Here are the ones that stand out; DrDhio, thekillermiller, Metal_Josh, CRIFFER, EarthMusic, jonopus, AAAlone, mindphaser74, Ciao_PSN, johnee, nordy66, FeistyFrog, and DarknessBear.... just to name a few. Makes me wonder why they would ever stop creating, in my opinion the are among the best.

Also, I always see xkappax posting on here but she does she create anymore? Or is she only here to promote her animations? Lol, just kidding but I'd definetly like to see another Crystal Cave type level from her.		2009-11-19 01:09:00

xkappax, catiers, morgana, and myself made a GREAT level in the beta.... Sara - do you know if we'll be able to get that level into general LBP when the new LBP releases?

That level was incredible.....

The simple fact is, however - creating takes a LOT of work, and many of those mentioned put SO much work into it that after a while they probably wanted to play other games - the excitement of getting hearts and plays wears off pretty quick when you get a lot of them.		2009-11-19 01:30:00

Nobody's mentioned feistyfrog? Simple as his levels are, they're polished, creative, FUN, and simply the epitome of great gadding levels, like lbp was made for.

Defmunky666 too. Hugely innovative, but he left because of haters.

I am currently in the neverending beta. lol. That being said, I've been doing a lot of behind the scenes stuff, too.

You'll see more from me, Ccubbage, Morgana and Catiers if they let us import our levels. I sure hope they do, because otherwise, that'll be a lot of work lost.

I actually have a level in progress that I've been working on since like May. It is another level in the Crystal Cave/Centralia story. I got to the water section, and SURPRISE! Media Molecule announces real water. So, I'm waiting for that before I continue that one. ^_^

Ccubbage is right, though. Creating does take a lot out of a person. I, for one, am utterly tired, and need a break. I still play levels on a regular basis, but currently I am playing Dragon Age, and a few other games that I put off for a year because of LBP. As I've stated above though, once water is out, I'll finish that water level -- with real water!


xkappax, catiers, morgana, and myself made a GREAT level in the beta.... Sara - do you know if we'll be able to get that level into general LBP when the new LBP releases?

That level was incredible.....
Ccubbage, I have no idea if they're going to let us import that, but if they do, I will do it immediately. Actually, I think we should publish all 3 of the levels we worked on in the beta if we're allowed to carry them over.		2009-11-19 04:12:00

Also, DefMunkey666 recently announced on one of his his levels he will be releasing new levels under a new account.

Well a bunch of great creators came back recently.

Pinkzep did some movie type levels (hope he does a coaster soon)
Qugz just did Maxed Out 3.
oct_you just did Dark House 2.
TinoC21 was trying to make a coaster (well at least he's back),
AshRogers just did 2 more Super Mario 64 levels (I wonder if he's going to do Wet,Dry World when water comes out? If not i might give it a shot)
Tactical_Gunner just did 2 more (can't remember what they were)


But ones not mentioned I really like to see back are
Avatar_of_Chaos (for his super long Oculynth, i recently got a message from him thanking me for recording his level, I think he also said he might come back to LBP),
SGT__STOKES,
TheJollyRajah(he's still on here i know, but i don't remember anything new with the exception of him teaming up with comishguy for that mario medly)
Rike255 (the guy who did those MGS2&3 theme music)
tomsite (Rocket of Legend)
RenderFX (Night of the Living Skulls)
Marynor (Tomb of Light, she recently came back to LBPC to thank me for the vid i made)

While there's some I don't know if they've made anything recently (I found about them out from you guys here) Crow- and Second--Smile


Wouldn't surprise me if I'm dead wrong on some of these. But hey I'm going through my long list of videos for examples!		2009-11-19 05:33:00

I'd hardly call Tactical_Gunner's recent two levels a comeback, they are afterall his old levels that he just decided to republish over again to get some attention. One of which was a Bomb level, and we all know we need even more Bomb levels on the Cool Pages.:eek:

Also, second--smile-- sold his copy of Lbp so he could stop the addiction. Unfortunately we won't be seeing any levels from him anymore, atleast anytime soon.
---------------------------------------------

And someone else mentioned IceMaiden, who I completely forgot to mention in my earlier post, definetly among my favorites who hasn't released any levels for awhile. I also forgot to mention geosautus and while I like the two previous levels he released I still regard his Magnificent Ruby level as one of the Best levels on Lbp.		2009-11-19 06:08:00

Well ever since his GOTY level and his latest two levels, it seems like geosautus has stopped, or at least slowed down. He was one of my all time favorite creators The last time he was on LBPC was about a week ago, so I think he still likes LBP but just isn't making level, as far as I know. I really hope geo does make a few more!2009-11-19 20:52:00

I'm still creating, just very, very slowly. And I apologize for deleting you from my friends list, but you were sending invites constantly, even when I told you that I was busy. After about the fifth one in five minutes, I just found it easier to delete you. I'd be happy to add you back on my friends list though, just remember that I spend a lot of time in create mode and don't join others that often.		2009-11-20 18:54:00

My favorite author from early on was punch jeff. I loved his humor, kinda reminds me of julesyjules. For some reason, he left and gave his stuff away. There were a few hacks out there trying to pass off his stuff as their own, like we didn't remember.2009-11-20 23:04:00

RenderFX- After Under Construction, he would only go on lbp for about five minutes a day and then never came on for ages, so I deleted him. Sad

Punch Jeff had all of his levels stolen when he naively made them copyable to show people how he did his mechanics. I believe he got very upset with this and took the originals down, and that was pretty much the end of it. 2009-11-21 21:32:00

It sounds like some of these great creators got pushed away by the immaturity of some of the LBP players. I really hope that Media Molecule come up with something amazing to pull them back into creating.

I think most of them are taking a long break though, I doubt there are a lot of people who can carry on creating all the time that LBP has been out. I know I will probably take a break if I get all the plays and hearts I need, but I definitely know for sure that if I do take a break, I will be coming back. Maybe it's the same story with a lot of these creators and we may see their activity increase in time. Wyth better be one of those creators because if ma Jack McSetback 3 isn't coming out I will be very sad indeed.

This is such a depressing thread. =(		2009-11-21 22:54:00

Wow. I totally understand getting burned out of creating, but I can't even IMAGINE selling the game. I would at least keep it around and pop in every once in a while to play..... I notice Venemiera doing that quite a bit (him and OCK are still on my PSN friends list), and it gives me a little smile.

For anyone who has NOT played Venamiera's levels.... Personally, I think he's the #1 most underrated level creator in LBP. His logic skills and creativity will make your head spin. Absolutely mind blowing. "Kikaiwa: The Cluster" has some of the coolest boss switch logic I've seen.		2009-11-22 15:47:00

and its time for someone to make a brilliant bomb level

No.

I think if the community were to stop building levels in the follow catergories then LBP world would be a better place:

Bomb Levels
Jump Challenges
Obstacle Courses (This encompasses all garbage of the sorts)
Poorly-made Races
And anything made by that kid who makes levels with "CLUCK DONALDS!!1!"


If the community wasnt a vast collection of sniffling 5 year old trolls then maybe this wouldn't happen but sadly this what LBP has been reduced to.

The 2012 of LBP is a gradual process of trolls and crappy levels and LBPC is the only safe-haven from it.


So in short. I would like to see all the great creators make a comeback. Have like a vast LBP reform where the Gods of LBP Create Mode, enlighten the near doomed community.		2009-11-22 22:32:00

Speaking of 2012, I just remembered another creator I'd love to see come back!!! Traxxer911. He did a 2012 level at the very beginning of lbp, and I thought it was one of the best ones around back then!		2009-11-24 02:43:00

Wouldn't surprise me if I'm dead wrong on some of these. But hey I'm going through my long list of videos for examples!

Awe, it's still nice to see that some people still like my stuff.

Truth is, I haven't made anything for a long time because people rate everything I do really poorly now. Sometimes I wonder... is it that people hate me, or are my levels really behind the times now? I think it's a mixture of both.

If I do make something, it probably won't be a music level, though. But if it is, expect it to be truly innovative, because the current formula has aged and is stale.		2009-11-24 06:15:00

I agree with this... Vanemiera was a very well balanced creator, with tons of logic talent. He was ahead of the curve in his time, and most of his levels are extremely polished, innovative and fun.

If I was able to enjoy it, and would like to see -
sighwhatever... should be no surprise to anybody who knows me
Voltiare... ditto, since H.A.T.E. is the greatest level ever, shipwreck was never finished and water is coming soon

OIL_ and IceMaiden in fine form

CENTURION24 - for my score challenge addictions, a good buddy, and someone who was continuously trying to improve his work - I was always inspired to work harder or come up with great ideas when I'd play through his stuff		2009-11-24 13:42:00

Aww it's great seeing a lot of people are wanting for my levels, even after all this time of inactivity. But to make the thread somewhat less despressing: I'm back (for now) and creating again, Jack McSetback 3 is underway and coming along nicely and if I still want to put in some effort after that I'll do a little revisit on Buccaneers' Booty.

For creators I want to come back... I've been aaway so long and I didn't really play a lot anyway, I really don't miss people because I never got attached to them, so to say. Saves the heartache eh?		2010-01-04 08:16:00

And TheGide is working on a new one too.... things are looking up!		2010-01-04 13:57:00

I also should have mentioned Wyth. nattura should get another PS3, and I forgot to say yeah to OCK and Neverynall.

Nice... I'm glad to hear that Thegide is back. I wonder if he'll finish his dream level, or soup it up. I still think that his Metal Gear Level with the mech boss we made, and graygoose's MGS level are the best out there for user made MGS levels. graygoose is another one too, come to think of it.		2010-01-04 14:42:00

Awww guys, I'm flattered that I've been missed! I've had a busy year in 2009, away from LBP for nearly 9 months. In my absence, I've been playing WipeoutHD, EVE Online, Diablo 2, Uncharted 2, Brutal Legend, Demons Souls, not to mention I'm back writing and recording music in my studio and trying to finish my PhD. Whew!

However, as you might have noticed, I'm back on LBP these days, and I've been burning up the craters on my moon.

I have a new level in the works, making use of the new water DLC. Things are coming together quickly, and although I'm not one to set deadlines for myself, I do hope to have this one finished this month.

My latest creation is called "Fireball Island" (working title) and inspired by one of my favorite board games of all time, of the same name. Check it out:

http://www.oaktreeent.com/web_photos/1-PPA/MB_Fireball-Island_4708_game_web.jpg

The premise of the board game is to capture the jewel at the summit of the mountain (guarded by the Vul'Kar statue) and be the first one in possession of the jewel to reach the docks and leave the island. You are in competition with other players for possession of the jewel, and you are in constant danger of being hit by fireballs rolling across the playing field, summoned by other players.

I'm still working out storyboards, which will loosely try to recapture the spirit of the game, but I'm about 50% or so done with the main architecture. This may be my finest creation yet, although I'm aiming for something a little more novice-friendly than "Shadow Moses: Site B".

I'll have a preview thread up hopefully within the week, but I'll talk briefly about what I'm trying to accomplish.

- Outdoor level environment. This is bar none, the biggest challenge when I create - building a level that has that sense of dimensional depth without relying heavily on background textures (closed rooms).

- Water fun. I'm not relying too heavily on the new DLC as the substance or gimmick of this level, but I've always wanted to build an underwater level. In Fireball Island, players will not only explore the island from land, but there is a good wet portion of this level too.

- All things grandiose. I've never really done anything huge in my levels, and have always admired creators who pull this off well. I'm still tinkering and don't want to spoil the surprise, but let's just say the earth will move

- Innovative content. While this is always the goal, I'm looking for new ways to do old things in my level. Rope-swings and trap-hopping are becoming cliche, but provide essential gameplay elements. I'm continually searching for new and interesting ways to do this.

Look forward to more! I'm back in action!		2010-01-04 18:06:00

I don't know about the dream level. I was never really satisfied with anything I was doing with the layout of the level. I am putting the dolphins to good use in my new level though, so I think I'll inevitably end up scrapping it and recycling the parts to use elsewhere. Obviously my walking spider still needs a home as well. I probably spent 30-40 hours on the dream reaper constantly deleting and trying new things, only to be frustrated. That's why I halted work and picked up on Asteroid! Pinball instead, after which, like Cubbage suggested, I got burned out.

Over two months went into Shadow Moses and nothing else. I was so used to constructing a certain way, I think the big problem with the dream reaper was that I couldn't approach my architecture differently in the way that it needed to be to make the idea work. Too bad, because I thought the global lighting tool had arrived just in time so I could finish it. Anyways, I've remedied that now (I think) - I am literally frothing at the mouth with construction ideas for Fireball Island. Last night I woke up at 3am with an idea that needed to be created, and I went back to bed this morning at 7am. Go figure. I've never made such quick progress on a level...		2010-01-04 18:29:00

Haha, that's sick, Thegide. I actually found one of those when I was really young, missing some vital pieces, for free at what we gypsies like to call a trash pickin'. Like Mouse Trap, I never got to play it correctly, but always remembered it fondly.

Can't wait to see what you do with it (make sure somebody films it!), and if I was there, I'd be right along for the ride in cocreate. I know what that fire to get things cranking out again is like, so more power to you. Welcome back.		2010-01-04 18:45:00

Come by sometime then... I'll give you a sneak peek in cocreate.

I should probably start poking around and seeing who is actively filming these days. I could do it myself, but can't do HD with my cam.		2010-01-04 19:09:00

Aww it's great seeing a lot of people are wanting for my levels, even after all this time of inactivity. But to make the thread somewhat less despressing: I'm back (for now) and creating again, Jack McSetback 3 is underway and coming along nicely and if I still want to put in some effort after that I'll do a little revisit on Buccaneers' Booty.

For creators I want to come back... I've been aaway so long and I didn't really play a lot anyway, I really don't miss people because I never got attached to them, so to say. Saves the heartache eh?

Back from the dead, eh? It's great to see you back Wyth. You are one of my favorite creators from the past and look forward to seeing your new work, I see you have already started a thread regarding Jack III so I'll post my thoughts on that there.		2010-01-05 00:25:00

Thanks to everyone for the mentions.

I was planning to create a new level next week on my vacation, but after coming online to find that "Night of the Living Skulls" and "Skull Skipping" had been moderated out of existence, I'm going to find a better use for my time. Bugs, lack of 1080 support, ridiculous moderation practices, and the fact that I'm averaging about 250 plays/year now means it's just not worth the effort for me to create anything of substance in LBP anymore.		2010-01-19 01:33:00

I echo this.

Of course, johnee got his dream job and is working extremely hard along with the other folk at Mm. But for me, being selfish for a moment, I don't half miss him on LBP, and I do hope that you guys see Warzone 2 very soon.

I remember johnee showing me the teaser trailer all those months ago - I nearly dropped my wine! And that, my friends, is something I NEVER do!

Great question, and the first author I thought of was Wyth.

But looking at my hearted list I'm starting to notice a trend, half of the levels I have hearted are made by authors who stopped creating a long time ago. Here are the ones that stand out; DrDhio, thekillermiller, Metal_Josh, CRIFFER, EarthMusic, jonopus, AAAlone, mindphaser74, Ciao_PSN, johnee, nordy66, FeistyFrog, and DarknessBear.... just to name a few. Makes me wonder why they would ever stop creating, in my opinion the are among the best.

Also, I always see xkappax posting on here but she does she create anymore? Or is she only here to promote her animations? Lol, just kidding but I'd definetly like to see another Crystal Cave type level from her.

Nice one, thanks!

Got disheartened with LBP back in July when a new near-complete level went completely AWOL, got kinda addicted to :kz:, but been busy-ish since mid-December with 'Super Manic Jetski Jumpfest' (one for the masses!) 'Texturama 1: Bricks And More' (one for the stickerists / materialists!) and 'Eject! Eject! 1: Test In The Desert' (OK, pretty 'niche' but working jet / ejection seats / chutes etc = sequencer fun) Only negative has been 'Bunkerdown' finally succumbing to its difficulty and I've now deleted it.

Currently working on 'Eject! Eject! 2' for upload sometime in the next weel or so, and this time you get to fly... just not for long!		2010-01-25 12:36:00

Seems like I'm a little late to this party (the story of my life), but I'll plow on ahead like I alwyas do.

I'm back. Just published a level called Return to Warehouse 13 (a sequel to Nerves of Steel).

Where have I been, why did I stop creating? It's a combination of what's been mentioned above. It takes a painfully long time for me to create a level. I had been working on two levels (Moving Parts 2 and Warehouse 13) for about 4 months when my first PS3 died taking all my data with it. I immediately got it repaired... and worked to get back all my tools and materials and then started on the levels again. After working for about a month I lost my second PS3 and all the data with it... Not a happy camper. Though I did replace my PS3 I just couldn't bring myself to start up the levels again... I went on to other diversions. With just an occasional pop into LBP to reacquire some of my stuff.

What happened? Why am I back? Several things: 1) Got a message from Spaff letting me know they still had my crown waiting for me. That kind of got me thinking about how great the community is. Man, when the chips were down with Moving Parts you all stood up and kept me going. You certainly don't meet good folks lke that playing MW2. Tea bags any one? 2) I caught wind of LBP2, and who can't get excited about all the great new kit that's coming with it? Man! This is going to open the doors to some great creating! I'm a little fearful that I don't have the chops to rise to that level, but I know my esteemed colleagues do, and look forward to what they come up with! 3) My six year old son has taken an interest in creating. Right now his skill level is somewhat less than the creator of RAMP, but it's fun to help him build things out. He builds basic structures and looks to me for help with the more complex stuff (Dad, I want that bridge to fall down. Sure thing, Son. Watch this.) Oh the touching moment between a nerd and his son.

So there you have it. About a month ago, I started in again and... was re-addicted. Return to Warehouse 13 was published last night, but my follow up to moving parts is stalled. I was about half way in and decided I didn't like the way it was going. Decided to scrap it and start over... fortunately I'm used to starting from scratch with it by now...

Really great to see some of the familiar faces out there! I hope in the coming months, as LBP2 grows near (dang delays!) we'll see more and more of the ol' familiar faces.		2010-10-12 21:30:00
