I've been working on a level the past week, made quite a bit of progress, and I'm ready to start some testing! Let it be known, the level is not done! I'm just giving early access to determine bugs and get some feedback every step of the way. This has easily been the most fun level I've ever worked on. It's just been a level full of personal firsts too. It's the first level I've made that has actual puzzles, includes the paintinator as a main component of gameplay, and has some timed sections. Some parts will get a little challenging, but I think this will be very fun to play when it's done. If you obtain a key for the level, be sure to check back every few days to look at the additions. Also, if you have access to the level, please leave feedback here on this thread. I want the level to be as good as possible, and all of you need to give me the feedback so I can fix everything. The level will be partly made by all of you! How To Get Access: 1. Post in this thread 2. I'll send you my lockbox code What I Would Like Of Testers: 1. Play the level 2. Watch for the Questionable Parts found below 3. Give feedback 4. Think of names! 5. Have fun! Questionable Part(s): 1. The "Back-and-Forth" platform/shooting section Possible Issues: 1. Lag in multiplayer can cause problems with the level It sounds like a lot of responsibility, but it really isn't. Just play the level, have fun, and give me some feedback. Thanks a ton, LBPC'ers! P.S. Any suggestions for level sections/setpieces are always welcomed!

Ooh, ooh, pick me! It sounds like a really good level and I would love to test it! I probably couldn't help with the level name though, I'm not very good at that stuff

Alright, I'll send you the lockbox code. Please return with feedback! Any other testers?

I'd love to test your level! It sounds pretty interesting

I'd like to test it. I won't be able 'till until tomorrow, though, but it's no long wait, at least. And you can count on me to find bugs. I seem to attract them...

I will probably end up working on the level for a while longer, so just play when you have time and check back on it every few days. NOTE: The level will always have an "Date of Last Update" in the title, so you will always know if you're playing the most current version.

So I just played the level and here are some of my thoughts -really good gameplay. I liked the part where you had to grab different switches to get the paintinator! -I'm liking the color scheme you have going on -no bugs to report so far. As for the back and forth section, try to extend the time by at least .5 . It'll make it easier for rookies And just from the top of my head, I thought of "Black and White Blueprints. Kinda matches the color scheme as a said before! Mhmm. There's my 2 cents !

Thanks a lot, royal! Glad you liked the gameplay. I think I'm going to agree with you on adding about half a second to the timed section. It would be a bit more welcoming to the lesser skilled. I feel dumb asking this, but when you say blue and white blueprints, are you referring to another level or the blueprints themselves? Hahaa! I've never heard of a level by that name... Lol

You're quite welcome! Haha Ahh. That was a name suggestion. And that's exactly why I like it: no one has ever heard of it and it's Black and White Blueprints ;D

It was a great level! Puzzles are hard to do in LBP but you seemed to nail them. The only bug I found was the first puzzle can be completed without the paintanator, you can just jump up and pull the switch. (although it is very hard to do, so not many people will find out). The jumps were fine from me, although like royalxpirate said, you should probably slow them down for less experienced players, so they don't rage quit and rate it 1 star ;P Finally, I like the way you made it, (the colour scheme and the layout), and you should add some more puzzles with hazards, so that the excitement levels will stay up. Overall, a great level, definitely 5 star material if you keep it up.

Thanks a lot Layabouts! I fixed one of the puzzles, added time to the back and forth section, and added a new section today. You may not have played the newest version with the mega awesome upgrade, but I do need to take a look at the first one. It "should" be an easy fix. Hahaa! Glad you enjoyed it too. I will gladly add more puzzles with hazards, I actually have one in mind! Thanks for the great suggestions!

I liked your level so far. I had the last update, but from that, everything seemed good, and my only problem was fixed. (Back-and-forth obstacle). But as of now, it seemed much to short and I think a boss fight at the end would work well. I'll test it out again tomorrow with some better updated feedback.

Oh, it's not even close to done. I've got ideas bouncing off every wall of my brain! It won't be done for a few weeks I would assume. Also, I like the idea of a boss, but I really don't know how I'd work it into the level. I really just wanted to go "story free" on this level. I'm not quite sure if I'm sure if a boss would be of my best interest, but we'll see. If others think it would improve the level, I may just consider it. Thanks for the feedback! By the way, is everyone liking the newest puzzle. The one with the two platforms from the floor and one from the top? Just hoping it didn't seem too tacky.

Just played, really good so far. I really like the scale and the puzzles make for some very interesting fun! The only thing that I kinda had a problem with was the visuals, a bit too simple for me. My suggestions would be to corner edit the Blank Comic Panels material more (instead of just being parallel to the Gekko Skin), and to add some subtle lighting, nothing too noticeable, just slight hints of it. Other than that, you've got a five :star: level on your hands, I can't wait to see the finished product!

Just a small heads up: after the last puzzle, when you drop down and keep running left, there's a piece of white glass on the floor. Just a tip

I was planning to add a little bit of flare later on, in terms of theck glass. As for parallel the the Gekko Skin; it really isn't. It's close, but not parallel. ;] Just a small heads up: after the last puzzle, when you drop down and keep running left, there's a piece of white glass on the floor. Just a tip Hmmm.. that should just be a demitted piece of glass. :/ It's kind of like my level's trash.

You should just have it available to everyone, since everyone who posts here is going to ask for access.

But do I want everyone in the LBP community that isn't a LBPC member playing this? No, I don't. Besides, you didn't ask for access either.

I had an idea that you probably won't like, but maybe instead of making the back and forth section easier, make it a race so the better you are the more points you get. I spent about 15 minutes fidgeting about with one piston with 4 players and finally broke it,but that's not something possible without messing around alot.

I wouldn't mind a race, but those darn race gates are just too fat and ugly! So they won't be making an appearance. Since they've been made, they've been slowed by .8 seconds. I think it's enough for most people. You actually do have more time than you make yourself think. It's the trick of the clock ticks! Also, which one did you manage to break? I don't like things breaking... :/ By the way, my brain is hitting a dead spot. I can think of puzzles at about a rate of 1 every 3 days...

Is this beta thingy still open? :0

I broke the piston at the very beggining, but don't worry about it, it took me 15 minutes and 4 people, a lot of luck, and a lot of timing.

Decently sized update 10.9.10.1 is! It includes: Level icon A little "test" of visual flare +2 puzzles Better sounds Updated back-and-forth section Enhanced camera angles Other small additions

Hmmm, I assume you gave up, or are waiting for LBP2, because there hasn't been any progress.

2010-11-05 04:06:00 Author: iBubek Posts: 682

I haven't given up yet, but I've been sucked in by the beta... I haven't even put the LBP1 disk in the PS3 for a month. I'll be back on task when the beta ends.

2010-11-06 16:59:00 Author: piggabling Posts: 2979

Oh, a little off topic, but when does the beta end? And just to get back on the topic, I think your level will do nicely with the in/out mover in LBP2.

I thought the beta was supposed to end last weekend, but it didn't for some reason... o.O And I would also like to see it with the movers, but the beta's profile import was a little broken and my level didn't get ported over...

2010-11-06 17:21:00 Author: piggabling Posts: 2979

Well, there's no point in making it in the beta, it'll just get deleted.

2010-11-06 17:30:00 Author: iBubek Posts: 682

---

Yes, true. I almost can't create at all in the beat because of that fact. It kind of ruins the experience...

2010-11-06 17:31:00 Author: piggabling Posts: 2979

Hmmm. Maybe it's a good thing I didn't get in because I'm not tempted. But then again, there are those levels I will never be able to play.

Are you still accepting applicants? I would like to test it.
