Wow, it looked fantastic. I love this series. The only complaint I could have is that the brightness is a bit high in some places. Specifically where the car alarm goes off. I couldn't distinguish between layers.

My favorite part was the glass ceiling collapsing. Awesome effect.

5 stars, heart.		2009-11-22 01:26:00

I thought the zombie part was terrible and not well thought out at all. They gathered everywhere and the only way I could pass was by jumping over a huge amount of them, but I'd get killed by a second group in seconds. That part needs serious tweaking, and an infinite life checkpoint. You should also add a paintinator at the first checkpoint.

Also, why is your Enlish so bad? If you're foreign, I'm sure you could ask a member here to do better translations for you.		2009-11-22 02:05:00

I'm always harsh with feedback lol. But really, that part needs work -.-

The rest of the level, like the whole series, is still beautiful and has many of the best visuals around 		2009-11-22 03:49:00

I just played this level and wow. Best use of the 3D glitch I've seen. The environment was very detailed and very well done. The monsters could've used a bit more work but I'm sure your level is on the brink of overheating completely. Incredible work. 5 Stars and hearted. Will be playing your other levels now.

Oh I would like feedback on https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=t=18995 thanks!		2009-11-22 11:47:00

I just played this, and wow - TOTALLY loved this level. Absolutely fantastic visuals - the stairs with the railings was the best stairs I've ever seen in LBP - I never thought stars could be a work of art until I saw it.

Couple notes:

With the first part of Incinerator22's comment about the zombie part, I agree and have a suggestion for this part of the level if you ever revisit it (or think about it for the future):

The fight seems a bit messy and thrown together. It either seems cheap (you run into the middle of the screen but there are far too many coming at you to hit the trigger quick enough) OR you stand to the left at the checkpoint and just fire at the middle and front layer enemies until they all die.

(keep in mind that this fight was also a lot of FUN, so I don't want you to think I'm being overly critical - just feel it can be improved with a slightly different design)

My suggestion for this kind of fight is to put the checkpoint and paintinator as a pop-up in the middle of the screen and have the enemies start coming from left and right when you get to the checkpoint. That way you are forced into the action without standing in a single place, but you can tweak the enemies coming at you to make sure the player can shoot them quick enough. This will allow balancing of the play while keeping the player in the fight. If you die, the "pop-up" temporarily knocks the enemies away.

Another suggestion, as a parent: I was playing this level with my 7-year-old son and you had the "S" word in there (Oh s***!) but with some extra h's and i's so it didn't turn into asterisks. Since LBP is rated for "everyone", this would be enough for a parent to hit the "good grief" button. I wouldn't do that, however you should probably change it to something like "Holy Crap!" which still has a strong impact in the english language, but would not be considered vulgar.

Anyway, 5 stars and a heart - and tagged Brilliant. Great series, and you have an incredible talent for visuals AND story telling. Congratulations on making the spotlight!		2009-11-29 16:48:00

Thank you CCubbage,
I understand your advice and I'll make changes, but for the "Gun Fight" with the zombie, I can do anything was because of the level is overheated...		2009-12-01 20:29:00

I hope you know I was just angry, it still comes nowhere close to ruining the level, which was spectacular!

Also, I noticed you added an infinite life checkpoint and fixed your English, and I really appreciated it.

If you still don't understand my English, you'll understand this :star::star::star::star::star:		2009-12-01 21:09:00

A bit of language is good for em, it'll put hair on their chest ;]
I know what you mean, but crap doesn't have the same impact, i mean, you'd get a "holy crap" in a pg 13 movie, but it isn't gritty enough for this kind of level...
Maybe an "Oh balls"? Depends on where the "oh s***" was used
I don't want hair on my 7-year-olds chest... it would look weird...


How about "Oh poopy!". My son would like that. He'd laugh.		2009-12-02 19:30:00
