Sackpad

Archive: 13 posts


Our friends at the Sackcast (http://www.sackcast.com/) have been working on an awesome new level planning and conceptualizing tool, so that Creators can plan a level regardless of whether or not they have their PS3 at their disposal. Straight from the mouth of Shermzor, one of the members of the Sackcast:


Hi all, on episode 10 of Sackcast I mentioned (as well as in our blog) our new level design tool that Dan, I and a few artistes have been working on:


Sackpad

It's a flash app that will help you design your levels for online create with easy drag and drop tools.

You may have seen Sony's flash tools (http://www.littlebigworkshop.com/en-us/Tools/Blueprint) for designing levels. Our tools are similar but we have a few differences:


We are in full colour
We allow you to upload your level to a server and you will be able to share it with your friends
We will update our flash app as new tools are released / asked for (and you will be notified when this happens)
We will provide music while you're making your level sketch (thanks to Pemberton and Burgerman for their tracks )
We have a creators lounge where you can chat to fellow beta applicants while creating


So we are opening the beta trials so we can get some testing done without H4H'ers and the like crashing our servers with junk.

You can sign up at sackpad.com and we will be picking applicants once we get our flash to beta level ( we have 3 things to finish off and then after that it will just be a case of adding content as the beta goes on).

So go to sackpad.com and get signing

As the quote says, you can get involved simply by heading to SackPad (http://www.sackpad.com/) and signing up to participate. They will be picking participants soon, so be quick about it if you want a shot!
