Hell's Angels 2

Hell's Angels 2poms
Can a Hell Angel like Sack restore peace between Heaven and Hell?
all
That?s the description for ?Hell?s Angels 2?, my new level.
I remember myself one year ago, making ?Hell?s Angels?, my first level, and having mad good time with it. I've always had a good time making levels, but sometime, somewhere, something was ?lost?.
Seems like things are becoming ?too serious?, and I needed to build something really crazy to recover that ?wow? factor (I loved this expression by Mrs.Spookybuzz xDD)
I received a lot of messages telling me about ?Hell?s Angels? being in a promotional spot in the U.S.A. so, that made me decide to start with its sequel.
I won?t ?cry? about the long and hard work spent with it, because I've made it in two weeks xDDD, mainly because this time the level was already built ?in my head? months ago xD.
I wasn?t sure if I had to post here about this level, because most of you are average players, and this level is not about challenge, difficulty or great platforms. But I hope you?ll be able to appreciate the humour, the art stile, and the fun 5 minutes that this level is able to provide.
So? that?s it. I hope you like this one xDDD

Thanks Evanesced & piggabling for feedback!
Looks like reaching cool pages is something impossible if you don't have the magic word "water" in the tittle...
I'll have to face the new "wet" situation xDD

Hi Poms! Happened to see this the other evening and gave it a play.

Fun level! I liked the story as well as how it tied to the original. I loved how this one you got to romp around and platform quite a bit besides the R1 bike rides which was still a great fun adventure in the first edition you made a year ago.

Just a nice neat level with some fun platforming. I loved the storyline though and how you managed to break up the tale with the adventure.

Nice work!

5 stars and a heart!

Hi Poms! Happened to see this the other evening and gave it a play.
I'm so sorry I couldn't show you the level before publishing, as you are my official beta tester!
The thing is I tried to join you the other night before publishing, and I couldn't. Then I invited you but nothing happened... Don't worry, I know you like me to visit you xD but connections didn't work properly the other day...
Thanks for your nice feedback! I tried your water level the other night, so I'm going to post... now!:blush:

You did?!! Yikes! I am so sorry that I missed that!!

I tend to hang out in my pod or in create in pause mode while away from the PS3 or watching TV. I have an A/V amp and sometimes if I am watching something on TV, I swap back and forth during commercials if I am in the midst of republishing or checking on level progress!! So please if you knock and see I am not responding it might be like right now, I have the amp switched to cable and not the PS3 !!!

Amazing level, but the cut out pillars look ugly. Use your custom ones instead. Also, instead of the checkpoint emitting, id make it raise up ona piston instead, looks better
Thanks for your feedback!
I absolute agree with the cut out pillars. That's why I didn't "abuse them".
I only used them to give some variety to Heaven environement. I didn't want to use the same tree objects all the time. I think they look a bit ugly, but not too ugly
About the checkpoint emitting, I have no idea what you mean
There's no emitted checkpoint in the level.

Checked this out the other night. I really liked your first one so the sequel was something I was looking forward to. Great lighting throughout. Loved your subtle underlighting in the yellows pinks and blues in the heaven section. The red firey effect in hell was great too. Your depiction of god looked awesome! Fantastic use of the gas and it's lit just right for a smokey/hazy magical look.

It was cool you put in more platforming in this one than the original too. As much as I like walk through levels (or drive by levels in this genre's case) I do enjoy a bit of something to interact with so this was a nice surprise.

Can't really find any faults with it for what it is. Worked great, no problems encountered, and a lot of fun to check out. I gave it 5 stars and hearted it. Thanks again for another cool experience.

Great level - i like the part with the Motor-Cycle! You have a unquie style (with the dekos) and the story is very strange (in a positive way). I like it!2009-12-29 13:07:00

Great, man!
Totally unexpected but great.
It's a bad moment to release levels, but hopefully this one will get its share of praise.
I'm willing to play it soon.

There's no emitted checkpoint in the level. i mean scoreboard lol. the pillars only look ugly becuase they aren't cut out that well. I'd make some for you but i think they're in a DLC pack

Mmmh... good idea about the scoreboard. I think I'll do that
And the pillars... maybe I'll cut them better if I find the moment

Thank you all for your feedback!

Is it that simple?
How about the reason it got moderated. Is there a way to find out?
I could change any content in the level if necesary... but I wouldn't like it to be moderated again...

I've also noticed the cover of "The Miracle of Life" has been removed. Do I just replace it? but... why was it removed? Should I change it?

Oh no!!! Sorry to hear that Poms! I have no idea what to tell you. There was that thread awhile back about mdaj. If you have it still on your moon you can republish, but it sure would be nice if someone told you what they felt was wrong. I was thinking from a comment Mistervista made when his was moderated that they sent you an email. Do you have your PSN profile set to send messages? If not, that might be why you didn't get one.

Maybe send a PM to CC and see if he can help get an answer for you.

Good luck!

What!?! I really enjoyed playing this! It reminded me of what I've always wanted my levels to be like.

Do you think people took offense to Satan? Cause he's in my upcoming level... :eek:

5 stars and a heart by the way, although I guess that doesn't matter now.

Yeah that seems like the sad, sad truth.

Still haven't played it yet though. I know I need to! I really like levels that aren't really serious. They bring back that "first time I ever played LBP" feeling.

Played your level and commented on it a few days ago.

Okay, first up: I loved the original. I generally don't like 'ride-this-till-the-end-of-the-level-just-hold-R1'-kind of levels, but your Hells Angels-levels are fun, quirky and entertaining.

Visuals:
I wasn't too excited about how most of the materials and shapes you used were pretty basic, but I love how they all blend together to create the beautiful, decoration-filled scenery. The single skull-swing was fun on it's own, just because the material holding the skull wasn't perfectly straight.
The Satan-representation was hilariousy evil, but the God-representation was a bit disappointing. Probably because I was expecting a bit more after seeing the well-done, simple Satan-representation.
And, finally; a motorcycle that isn't the in-game one

Gameplay:
This level has a bit more platforming than the previous, which is, in my opinion, a good thing. Not too hard, but good enough for casuals and hardcore players (lol, hardcore, in LBP...).
The parts of the level where the player has to ride Satan's 'Steel Horse' between heaven and hell were really well done and short, but entertaining.

It was a great experience and I hearted your level, but it saddens me to see that it has been moderated and that it has disappeared from my hearted-list

:star::star::star::star: & Hearted (well, can't heart an unlisted level).

aaahhhh!!!! wtf! whatz up with all these stoopid moderations!?

well poms... theres a way around the moderation without fixing whatever was moderated. i was gonna private message u on how to fix it... but since all these ridiculous moderations have been happening so frequently to many creators, im just gonna post it for every1 to see. lol. =D

all u have to do is go to the planet and select ur level.. then copy it onto a blank part of your moon (this might take several tries for it to work). then take your newly copied level and publish it over your original level that you just copied (this might take several tries also).

when itz dont right... you bypass the mode... you keep all your hearts... and you keep all your plays.... but u have to redo your sticker cuz for some reason it gets deleted.

this should work as long as you use ur data from YOUR ps3 and not someone elses ps3 or a new ps3. just keep trying it over and over and it should work.

good luck! =)

Wow mdaj... that's very good to know. Though I found out a bit late
I republish it two days ago, but I keep it locked because I wanted to avoid cool pages this time.
Before being moderated, the level was doing very well about plays, ratings and hearts, it would be great to have those back.
Thanks for the info

When I first played level Hells angels it was just a random level between any other. Now today when I play this level, I have to say it's so weird that it's just so... awesome.
You have made another so awesome level I... just dont know what to say. One bad thing is that the bike is not the main thing anymore. You should have made longer biking section to this one. anyways 5 star and hearth to most best creator on lbp EVER!

Wow! dude, what a spectacular thread-bumping!
I published this level in December, but you being new in the forum, your feedback is more than welcome

Yeah, I decided not to abuse the bike sections due to the ?PressR1anddonothingbutwatch? thing.
The bike sections are very expensive to thermo because many things and decorations run past very quick, so you have to choose between a long and empty race or a short but worth to see race, which is the option I took.

I was also very excited with the Olympus look I got for Heaven, so I wanted to extend that part with some more platforming.

I wasn?t very proud of this level for sometime, but when I play it now, I think it's a nice and easy level that hides a lot of humour. (The reference to Spielberg?s E.T. when Sack flies with the fool moon in the background still makes me laugh? lol)

Thanks very much for your feedback!
