Fansites

Archive: 8 posts


Could someone give me a list of all the major LBP fansites with a LBP PSP Section?

I want to promote my next level as much as I can.

A: LBPCentral (http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?106-[PSP]-Level-and-Object-Showcase) - This is easily the very best site to promote a PSP level. I am blown away by just how much feedback I get here and how awesome the community is.

B: Gamespot (http://www.gamespot.com/psp/action/l...362&pid=954362) - When I advertised for "Now and Then", I posted here as an afterthought a few days after posting on the other sites, and boy was I surprised when the feedback came rolling in. Perhaps it was a unique case that I got so much feedback, but either way, I will post there from now on, and I would currently classify them as my second favorite site to post about PSP levels on.

C: LittleBigNetwork (http://www.littlebignetwork.com/foru...anet-%28PSP%29)) - I have always been a huge fan of the community here because they are just so friendly and awesome. In all honesty, they sometime lean more toward chatting and social activities rather than LBP, but when they do start talking LBP, they can be really helpful. They have a much smaller LBP PSP community than LBPC, but there are a few core members who leave some very helpful feedback (like b-coli who was recently on the LittleBigPodcast).

D: LittleBigLand (http://www.littlebigland.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=39) - This site is actually one of my very favorite LBP sites in general because it has the nicest community out there, but sadly, the PSP community is a tad bit small. "Now and Then" got some good feedback there, but in general, I wouldn't expect much if any at all. I would certainly post there though since it is really easy to just copy and paste a level ad over to LittleBigLand.

E: LittleBigWorkshop (http://forums.littlebigworkshop.com/...rd.id=psppromo) - While this site can give a bit of feedback, the PSP side of it seems pretty dead, and in my opinion, it has the harshest community out there. For some reason it feels like everyone here wants to pick a fight. LOL, I guess I have had some bad experiences there. But I would still post there in hopes that people will give some feedback. I know that "Now and Then" got over 100 views over there in its first week, and that isn't bad

F: European Playstation Forum (http://community.eu.playstation.com/..._Games_LBP_PSP) - I'm not really sure how responsive this forum is. It took a few days to get feedback on "Now and Then", and then it poured in for about 3 days, and then it just stopped again. I did not get any feedback on "Lost at Sea" from them yet and it has been about 36 hours since posting, so we will see. When they reply it is pretty good stuff though.

Hopefully that is all helpful

FROM AFP'S LEVEL PROMOTION TACTICS THREAD! Enjoy.

There is another site with over 7000 registered users, not sure if any of you guys know it though.

Does www.littlebigplanetguide.com ring a bell?

The amazing poo has a thread all about level promotion:



Hidy Ho Sackfriends! Over the last few days I have been asked multiple times about how I go about promoting my levels for PSP, so I decided to just make a thread here about it. Getting noticed in LBP can be pretty difficult, and in my opinion it can be even worse for PSP since there are no "Cool Levels", so unless your level is highest rated or featured, then chances are that you probably won't get all that many plays.

So, what should you put in your promotion thread?

#1) Pictures - I think one thing that currently really makes a promotion thread stand out is pictures. The reason I say this is that it is sort of rare for a promotion thread to have pictures for PSP since there is no photo transfer function for the PSP. I have only seen a handful of threads that even have photos. But it is so easy if you just take a little time to get used to it!!! Just get a camera, figure out the best lighting (or get your parents to help you with that if it is a bit too complex), and take some pictures of the best part of your level. After that, transfer them to your computer and find out what your favorite ones are. I usually cut the pictures a bit so you can't see the edge of the screen. To do this, view the picture, press "Print Screen" which should be near the top right corner of your keyboard (it might say "PrtSc"), and then open up Microsoft Paint and paste the picture you copied and you can mess with it there. Then, once I have the picture finished, I save it, and transfer it to Photobucket.com, and once it is there, I have a http address for every photo and I can do whatever I want with it online. I must warn you, different websites have different formats for how you add pictures, so it can be a little tricky at first, so if people are interested in this then just ask and I can give you details for each site. It can be a little rough getting used to all of this (taking pic, transferring, modifying in paint, transferring to photobucket, adding it your thread), but after 2 or 3 pictures it should be second nature, and then you will have a thread that really stands out [NOTE: There may be better places to go than Photobucket for this, but it is what I use, so that is why I referenced it]

#2) Be Careful What You Say - I see sooo many threads that end up making me NOT want to play the level just because of what the person says in their thread. Just tell about the level and what you think is unique, but do not show off or be overly excited. Here are the two cases that I see the most:
A) Someone is just plain telling me that their level is the greatest level ever --> Don't do this! Even if the level is awesome, you have now given the reader the impression that it is awesome, so when they play it they will probably be disappointed and rate it lower than they would have. Just describe the level, but don't act like you are the god of LBP.
B) Someone says that this is their first level and it sucks --> This is a great way to make me avoid your level. Sure, I am up for giving constructive criticism, but if you are telling me that the level is a broken mess, then my constructive criticism will probably take me an hour and a half to write up, and the level will end up giving me an ulcer, so why in the world will I play it? Just tell some good things about the level and what you were trying to do with it, but don't bash the level while you are promoting it!

#3) Be Nice When You Reply!!! - Ok, listen up, and listen GOOD! When people give you feedback, then they are taking the time to play your level, and not only that, but to also log on and write what they thought. Sure, it may not be what you wanted to hear, but DO NOT start a flame war with them! You are trying to sell your level to people, so when you explode in someone's face for giving some criticism, then it REALLY tells me that I should not get involved with the level since you are most likely going to be mad if I say anything bad, and you might even attack my levels and rate them badly. You should go into this expecting some bad feedback. If someone is just plain mean in their feedback, then maybe you can just thank them for the feedback and leave it at that.

#4) Post Everywhere - I have listed all of the sites where I advertise my levels below, along with a description of the response that I have gotten for my level. Obviously, your experience could be completely different from mine, but at least I can give you my experience so that you can have a bit of an idea of what to expect.

Last time I checked, there was 4 people registered on that site, so how would that be a good site to advertise. (that doesn't mean that I won't put it on there)
