I was just reading the abandoned level ideas and thought it would be neat to hear what levels that you DID pull through even if you were so close to quitting out of frustration. To start I will say... Ecco the Dolphin: Perils of the Coral Reef. Technically this shouldn't count because I did give up on it, but when it was beatable. I'm gonna use that anyways.

My LBW5 level (Working Overtime). I only JUST got it entered in time I think I had about 5hrs left untill the deadline or something. Looking back at it now there is a huge number of things wrong with it but it was great fun, albeit frustrating, to create and I'm really proud of it. I just wish I could go back, fix it up and republish it.

My LBW5 level (Working Overtime). Ha! That's ironic. I do this with basically all my levels.

Wait, is this difficult to build or difficult to play levels?! I'm confused... @_@

Now that you say that, I'm confused too... I'm fairly certain he means levels that you had difficulty building but got them finished in the end.

Oh yeah sorry not to clear that up I meant difficult to build not play.

Ah. Then may i suggest changing the title of the thread to something like: "Levels you had difficulties building," or something like that, you know, so people don't get confused and stuff.

My current project "Steam Paint - Locomotive Leviathan". I'm still building it, but talk about really squeezing every last drop out of the thermo. That plus it's my first level to properly use the extra layers and I've flung myself right into the deep end with huge derailed trains in the backround (a la the one you climb in Uncharted 2). Also, I'm trying to make it a shooter / platformer hybrid and trying to strike the balance gets difficult at times.

Without a doubt, SackMech Mission 5. I had so many troubles creating that level that I almost quit the project entirely. Not only did everything end up not working the way I imagined it would, in the end I realized that even if it DID work out, the level would have been boring and pointless. I had to go through two entire level designs before finally finding one that worked.

I found my latest level 'Cirque de la Nuit' a nightmare to create (excuse the pun ) There are lots of emitters which set off invisible walls, when all of these and accidentally triggered and you don't realise for a couple of days worth of creating you suddenly wonder why your levels broke... it then turns out to take a couple of hours just to delete all invisible walls and emitters and then reapply all emitters and set to 1 emitted etc etc.... That happened to me countless times!

When creating Edna's Testing Facility I had loads of issues. There was the thermo, which was so bad that activating the survival challenge would overheat the level, and the challenge wouldn't start. After a while I found that emitters within emitters are not a good idea, and after getting rid of those the thermo dropped massively. Then there was the conveyor belt. I tried so many different combinations trying to get the platforms to move across without breaking or leaving gaps. At one point I was so lost that my brain just stopped working! I had to lie down on the bed for a while! After that I was able to solve it quite quickly, but I really just couldn't figure out a way of fixing it.

I remember having a lot of trouble making the ramp in my Calvin & Hobbes level. It wouldn't match togther properly, and those LBP tree logo objects have a terrible rounded base for gluing. I tend to have the most trouble with seemingly simple things that don't quite work the way you want.

Unhearted: Drakes Misfortune 2. I fixed a few problems after publishing and it hit the 160 hour bug. I had so many problems making it as well, ideas that didnt work,crashes, crisis of confidence, or it just being plain bad etc. After the bug I had to go back to an early backup and copy and paste the new sections back in. It took me 6 weeks to create, and another 1.5 weeks to fix it. I thought about just deleting it and giving up, but pleased I didn't, I think it's my best level tbh. Also, when doing Mars Attacks II,I used the trigger the intro and move on creating, once it was triggered it played and had to be rebuilt, I must have re done that 10 sec intro at least 10 times

An unnamed level Im/was making. Everything messed up, like the kind of mess up that seems simple but requires you to do alot more other stuff to get it work right. Not to mention, the glitches literally almost ate the level to death. Pistons and platforms randomly dissapeared, and various kinds of sticker glitches (even a new one!!). Not to mention everytime I work on it, when I finish, Im so stressed out I could punch a kitten in the FACE. EVERYTIME!
