Unhearted: Drakes Misfortune 2

Archive: 51 posts


I've been meaning to do a sequel to the first level for a while now (its probably my personal favourite) but couldn't get the idea to do it. Fortunately the water pack appeared and gave me a basic idea of a story and I've worked from there. I won't give away to much, but its about three water idols and there power over LBP. Its taken me a few attempts to get the look right, I wanted to keep it the same as the first level as much as I could, but I'm finally there, and flying along creating. I think it should be ready the next week or two.

I've got a couple ( of hopefully new and fresh) water mechanics worked out, and fitted puzzles around them, and you can also expect backtracking, secrets etc etc etc, I think I'm so stuck in my style its hard to get away from it now. I've also got a few ideas for the funpark at the end again.

And thanks to compher and jump_button for helping on the catapult

Anyone that would like a look or play, just let me know, I like to get as many bugs as possible as I go.

Heres some pics....

EDIT: I'm really stuck for a name, which was the main reason for the thread, if anyone can think of any good puns for Among Thieves let me know.

If you need a tester, I'm open for the postition. Judging by the pictures, the level looks brilliant with some very nice scenery, and having beta tested Agent Banana's newest level, I have nothing on my hands.2010-01-17 11:25:00

Unhearted- Among ....CHEESE?

Anyway, I am a huge fan, and it would be an honor to test your level out whenever possible! Cant wait!

This gets my vote.


Anyway, this looks fantastic from those pics (really like the top one). If you need another tester, I'd love to help.

Ooooh! That's looks really good, Grantos! The first one was also one of your best levels, in my opinion. I've been kind of sad lately, not seeing a new level from you for two and a half months or so! Well, a primarily solo project at least.

I'd like to test for you if you still need another tester!

As for a name....
Unhearted 2: Along Seams?
Unhearted 2: Among Themes maybe?

I'm not very creative name-wise. :blush:

OH! One more!

Unhearted 2: Along The Seams

That's my best attempt right there!

Among the Fishes might be funny. Sort of a take on Sleeping with the Fishes and since you have water and ways to die underwater...


..or even Among the Feeshe if you wanted to bring in Admiral CCubbage or something.

I like Among Fishes actually I love Among Cheese, but think its a little late to show horn some cheese into the level now unfortunately.

I'll be ready to test the next few days once I get it all linked up properly.

Well, I don't have a four coloured animal puzzle in the level, and have'nt played the PSP version yet

Nothing really Compher, I just wanted something a little different. Is Unhearted - Drakes Misfortune 2: Among Fishies to long you think?

Also, I got enough testers thanks, I'll PM you all with keys when ready (regulars will still get one )

Didn't leerdammercone out in November? I think it's a little too late to include that patch in the level, and have it make sence to new players.2010-01-18 12:28:00

My only other efforts are

Drakes Misfortune : Among Fleas
Drakes Misfortune: A Bum Sneeze

Neither of which fit, but make me laugh anyway.

I've called the level Unhearted: Drakes Misfortune 2: Among Fishes, thanks for everyones input so far.

Are you sure that really works? A subtitle within a subtitle? After all, Drake's Fortune was the title of the first game, Among Thieves the title of the second, Uncharted the title of the series. It's like calling the second Harry Potter book 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone: The Chamber of Secrets'. It doesn't really make sense!

Just 'Unhearted 2: Among Fishes' works better in my opinion.

Anyhoo - this level is coming along nicely. I'm looking forward to playing the final. Definately another Gruntos-esque layer fest of awesomeness.

You're probably right there Nuclearfish, it definitely makes sense. I'll have a think.

I was hoping to send you keys this weekend but I haven't done anything else since last week so the level is still mostly unfinished unfortunately. Once i get my head down in should be done in two or three days.

I'm glad you decided to make a sequel, the first is still one of my favorites and even after all these months can compete with the newer levels. As for the name, I'm not really sure, the level doesn't look like it's based on the Uncharted 2.2010-01-26 03:09:00
