Under Construction By Coxy224

Archive: 35 posts


Under ConstructionCoxy224
Race your way through a city under construction. A metropolis level with three races, each split up with platforming. Don't forget to look out for many secrets.
Howdy y'all. Coxy224 here again with another level. This time we're all off to the city - but it hasn't quite been fully built yet! So blast your way through the construction site in three different (hopefully unique) races.

Race 1:
Get the cement truck to the workers as fast as possible - but don't spill too much cement. Hold R1 to move. Holding it down longer will result in more speed, but also more cement loss. If you lose too much cement, the truck will fall apart and you'll miss out on the bonus points at the end.

Race 2:
Now you've been sent to the Underground (or the Subway to you Americans ) This time the train moves itself, but you'll have to press R1 to move obstacles and turn bridges to get the best time.

Race 3:
Rhythmically tapping R1 is the key to victory here. You have to use all your skills to show those Urbaners who's the true racer boss! I'm sorry this one is really short, the mechanic was bad and I actually ran out of space length-wise


And of course the almighty secrets! Here I feel I've done some of my best work, below are some things to look out for:

Stick-switch Boss battle against a cow

Advertisement for my other levels

An Idol (as seen in In Search of Idols)

A final boss battle against a cow


So please play this level and leave some feedback, and I will repeat the favour

Wow, you and Arrestor both published levels for the competition at nearly the same time! The competition just heated up big time :-)

I won't be able to leave feedback because I don't play competition levels prior to judging if I am a judge because I want them to feel fresh when I judge them.

I'm very excited for this!

Hey Coxy!
Your level really is good looking!
But i have to say i had some problems...
I have a serious lag when playing this one. I think its because of all the moving objects. Did you attach sensor switches to them so that they dont move all the time?
Sometimes a lag doesnt matter, but i think in a race challenge its pretty annoying.
The other thing is that i missed the finish of the second race. I didnt see an end gate.
Maybe you can work a little bit on these things and republish. Would be great because i really like your ideas!

Republished.. hopefully things are clearer now 2010-07-04 17:53:00

Umm... Coxy. Your level is... err... how do I put this. Well, let me give you the short version of things:

Lag lag lag. Shoot shoot shoot. At cow cow cow. End first race. More lag. More jumping. End second race. And stop-

Yeah, that's basically it. The button doesn't work, so I couldn't finish the level. What's worse is I had the highscore. Still, I'd give it a :star::star::star::star: for the fun of the level but that cliffhanger ending and a <3. BUT, apparently my PSP thought otherwise and gave you an extra :star:, so thank my PSP later.

Peace

haha thanks Cyber, the lag is actually better thanks to some switches placed, but there's a lot more than I planned
You have to press the button a couple of times sometimes.. I guess I'll republish it again.

Thanks for playing

How many switches do you have in there!?

Thanks for playing

I tried to press it more than once. In fact, I lost count of how many times I pressed it after 12. Sigh.... Oh, and your welcome! I should really be thanking you for making the level.

Well Coxy, I finished playing your level (fully!). But because I'm busy now, I'll just do another "The Good, The Bad, and _____".

The Good
Visuals and challenges. Check!

The Bad
Boring start on the first race. That lag is also not helping.

The Odd
The ending was, weird? I think the scoreboard moved, or was it suppose to be up in an angle with the platform?

:star::star::star::star::star: and a <3. And no, my PSP didn't give you another :star:. That was actually me this time.

Peace

Well, like arrestor said earlier. There is alot of lag during the entire level that took away from the overall experience for me.

Maybe he was right, and you did have too many moving objects at once throughout your level. Anyways, the visuals and everything were awsome! Everything looked great! The ending though was a little unresponsive to me though. That vehicle at the end was moving extremely slow and I thought there would be some amazing fun at the end when you said "go crazy at the hill if you want to win".

So, other than the lag and the ending, everything else was great!

Keep up the good work!

Lets start with the bad:

I felt that the cement truck was too slow!
The platform that you need to rock back and forth was way to hard to get onto the platform above. It took me about five minutes.

Now for the good:

The visuals were great!
The platforming was also great!

3 stars from me.

I loved it Coxy!!

I think the lag is not too bad. Your platforming segments were very good. Challenging too. My favorite is where you have to platform with the car as he opens doors and raises and lower obstacles.I loved all the secret areas, the one idol, the sticker boss fight, great stuff. The racing was fun as well. My favorite was the one where you controlled the platforms from the vehicle. That was very cool. Your level designs are always slick. I always love your choice of materials and this looked great. The Metropolis music was perfect.

Great job, I gave you five stars and a heart. <3

And good luck in the contest too!!

Why yes, yes there is. Now if it had a flamethrower and a witty catchphrase, I would have declared it "Boss Battle of the Year".

Hi, Coxy! You created very nice level. I love environments, characters and cars. Very nice ones:

And you created nice transitions:

So I think you created good level. But I could not finish it. After last race when I reached finish gate and scoreboard my car just stick before the gate and all I could do - is jump from the back. And I died in gas there. After rebirth I did not find new cars for new race and could not reach scoreboard because there are a lot of death gas. What I did wrong?

And I totally agree with previous peoples that there are too many lags in you level.

I wanted to leave feedback but I have limited time so let's start:
Right when you start you feel the lag
Other then that the level is great!
The look and feel of it is nice.
The cement truck was slow and I went at the same speed thru the whole race and it emitted some cement chunks later on,so that one kinda bored me.
Where you have to swing the platform is hard and took me a couple of tries until I cleared it.
When I got to the cow I was lost,so I figured I got lost or something lol.
Um,I played it like 3 days ago so I don't remember much,but I believe it was the 2nd race where the switch moves the obstacles was cool.
Riding the subway was pretty easy but still fun.
The final race really was challenging!The time was running so I tried to end it by making sackboy's head past the finish and it worked
Overall very nice level,:star::star::star::star::star:&<3 Also good luck!

This level reminded me so much of The Construction Site story level on PS3. In fact, you "borrowed" a lot of things from that level. I thought it was awesome all around though. On my first playthrough it didn't lag at all so I was able to enjoy it. The visuals are top notch as is the gameplay. The cement truck went a little slow though, didn't really like that part. It was very entertaining.

The second playthrough however, was so laggy it was impossible to enjoy the level. It's really a shame. I also have a small problem with lag in my level, which coincidentally i would appreciate feedback on. Link in sig, thanks.

Hey Coxy,

Congratulations on making it to the Community Spotlight! I loved how you not only recreated the aura of the Metropolis levels on the PS3 story levels, but you also gave them new life through exciting and innovative vehicle-based gameplay. Great job, and I hope you keep making PSP levels!

Here are the videos of your level:

Hey there. This level/track sounds really good. I'm definitely downloading it. But just a thing I didn't understand. How are you able to control the vehicles, when there are no R1 on the PSP? 2010-07-12 12:17:00

Okie dokie! Played, and firstly very nice use of scenery, really looked authentic and I enjoyed playing it.

I'll break this down into the Good and Bad kay?

The Good:
*Great scenery
*Clever use of mechanics (the two trains were awesome)
*Enjoyed the "secrets"

The Bad:
*Lag was not good :S
*The final race I couldn't get the truck to move uphill at the end (not sure if this was intentional, eitherway I jumped off, and died and then couldn't reach the exit... :S

Overall enjoyed this very good .

Gave it **** Stars, didn't heart this time round. Keep going though as I feel to remeber playing a few of your levels and enjoying them as I did this one.

TC.

Hiya-

I've just got done playing your level, and I like the visuals a lot, you're great with the corner editor! The only things that I didn't like was the lag, and the third race. I didn't like the lag because........ well, it's lag. The reason that I didn't like the third race beacuse it was too hard, at the last hill I had to tap R very quickly multiple times, but other than those two problems, I had a lot of fun, Good work!

I rated it :star::star::star::star::star: and <3ed the level.

Congratulation on winning the Vehicle Triathlon Competition! Your level was a blast to play and it brought back fond memories of PS3 and meshed those with the PSP perfectly :-) And I'm not the only one who thinks that seeing as we had 5 judges and you came out as a winner :-D

BTW: Make sure to check your PMs over at LittleBigLand.com

Ah woow, thanks for the positive feedback everybody. I had a blast making this level and I'm glad that you all enjoyed the level - especially as I felt it was rather challegening.

Also a bit thanks to Poo and all the judges as I was one of the lucky winners of both a spotlight and the Triathlon competition. Except another level from me, hopefully soon <3
