This thread is absolutely not about "Ooh look at my I am in the beta" so if you suddenly get angry about what I am showing/telling just stop reading, turn off your pc and take some deep breaths! Its more to give you an idea what can be done in lbp2. I know that just like top-down car-races this kind of level will probably be seen a lot in both the Beta and full version of lbp2.. but for me its a good way to experiment with lighting, logics and plain over the top visuals. I named it "Frantic", its a side-screen space-shooter that probably comes closest to R-Type from the SNES era but with some twists. For now, I'd like to test if I can put screens here: The logic on my space-ship so far: (with some kudo's for aya, who helped me to optimise the charger-logic) http://beta.lbp.me/img/ft/4ca78344759476ec76321f2c65ed9b7775bd8962.png Some bad-guys: http://beta.lbp.me/img/ft/7837aa6ff861d416d501bdf77f4c65aa5b0c4884.png Bad-guy closeup: http://beta.lbp.me/img/ft/46e7ad4bf5d541aa97a0deadd908edce2dcc3571.png So.. What can my little spaceship do? 1. Charger. Think megaman/metroid/r-type, holding R1 will charge up your cannon. The charger can be charged up to level 3, allowing 4 different shots per weapon. 2. Primary weapons. Power-ups will be available after certain kill-streaks. There are 5 kinds of weapons, from a simple blaster to something I named "Exodus" a name that fits it really well. 1. Standard Issue Blaster (S.I.P.) - basic shooter. 2. Laser - slightly faster shooting, can (hopefully) go through one enemy and hitting the next. 3. Vulcan Rifle - 3-way rifle, shooting intense heated bullets. 4. Molecule Blaster - Spiral-moving blaster, quite a big range. (final charge is a screen filling clusterbomb) 5. exodus - Heat-seaking energy bullets, final charge makes the god of electricity himself grand you use of a very huge energy-shield that kills nearly anything on screen). 3. secondary weapons. Swap between them with r1, use them with O. (for now) there are 4 secondary "weapons". 1. Plasma Chainsaw - Giant plasma Chainsaw that stays directly in front of the spaceship. 2. Laser Sabre - Drops a giant 360-rotating laser-sabre. 3. "The Orbs" Two giant balls of energy which can be controlled with the right analog stick. 4. "Shield" - guards you from any enemy damage for 15 seconds. enemies: Think: r-type/Metroid I will make pictures of all of them soon, At the moment there are 12 different monsters and I am working on a giant boss.. Since my weapons are all so powerfull looking.. I need the enemies to be just as powerfull. Some of the monsters will randomly move around the screen before they attack you, others will storm at you the moment they appear on screen. Some monsters will take multiple hits, while others will be destroyed in one hit. None besides the boss will shoot projectiles (probably), but to counter-act that, I will try to push the monsters-in-screen to a maximum without too much framedrop. I think thats it for now, Now.. If you got questions, want to see images or anything else.. Just ask and I will try to answer them.

If it's as good as the Beh'ta level I think I'm going to love it

Awesome stuff! This reminded me of my Kirby Air Ride game I was going to re-make in LBP2 Thanks!

Cool looking level! Can't wait to be able to try it! We now know that lbp.me images can be shared on the web! They are a bit small though :/ Could you show a bigger version of your logic? I love looking at some nice logic

Looking good. Loved the beh'ta level. No, I haven't got the beta, I just had fun watching it!

Well it looks awesome, although I'm still waiting to see if I'll get in the beta I didn't get to play but got to watch a video for "The Anicent Cave of New Be'hta" and I was completely amazed. I'm really excited to see what you'll make for this. Also, I know this is for the LBP2 beta, but shouldn't it still go in LBP2 projects and planning?

Ill show a closeup of my logic later (today). For now I wanted to share this with you: http://beta.lbp.me/img/ft/36900b98b97bfc75668dec5b96b078f19153383b.png And http://beta.lbp.me/img/ft/c37b9bf9f4b8101b2a78c69c3bf23532f3a92ede.png But both dont do justice on how they look ingame. - Gameplay is now somewhat in, 9 of the 12 enemies have AI-implemented, one of them slowely moves to player, then speeds up to bash it, then retreats again. Some of them need 2 hits, others need 20. - All 23 projectiles now do damage, varying from 1 damage to 5, (some of the special ones do damage more than once on hit)

Wow... That looks fantastic Luos! I just played Beh'ta yesterday and I have to say, it's my favourite level in the Beta so far!

so if you suddenly get angry about what I am showing/telling just stop reading, turn off your pc and take some deep breaths! I'm offended! I'm a Mac, not a PC! I can't wait for this to come out! It looks really good! One question: Can you do a barrel roll?

I've heard of R-Type but, I have never played it yet. However, I have played lots of Megaman, Gradius, Galaga, and Super Metriod. If your enemies are as devious as the heat-seeking ones of Galaga, I can't wait to see the finale of your project. Goodluck.

That looks great! Keep the us outcasts updated! BTW, you are the creator of The Ancient Caves level? I watched a video of the level and was extremely impressed!

Sorry for lack of updates... My pc went frizzle and it seems a smoke-emiter was present on my motherboard. Atm sitting behind a crappy computer.. I rather not call computer.. Its more an advanced calculator than a computer. Cant even upload the high rest stuff I shot for the logics. It just says error. (the pc does)
