OK Choice (Act 3: The Worn Shores of Time)

OK Choice (Act 3: The Worn Shores of Time)Celsus
This is the 3rd part of the story. Your device has let you escape a ctastophy the likes of which no one would survive to tell. You managed to repair the accelerator only to arrive further off track...powercells that should have lasted decades have failed you, but why?

This time you need to repair almost the enitre accelerator, but don't let that distract you from locating the clues to things have have come to pass...

After playing this one I have to say
I am thoroughly impressed and I have to say these levels deserve to be spotlighted!
I could not find anything wrong with this level whatsoever!!

Also I must say I was a little disapointed at the start cause I was like back to this mobias thing and back to the same level with a little change but I was massively impressed when I went outside and seen all the changes and the excellant ideas and detail!

I am very sorry for the delay for the review for this. Here it is.

I love how each time in OK CHOICE, you change the enivronment some, whether it's the regular city, post-capolcalyptic and abandoned city, or a city covered in trees, plants and giant birds altoughit got a bit repetitive at first. I liked the design as usual and it was still interesting. The birds were............different. It felt a bit sillier than usual but that isn't bad, it's just different than usual, maybe it's the funny face they have. Anyway, the gameplay was also good but I got stuck at one point on this one. When it says the tids are oo fast or something like that and there's the invisible wall of dm in the wya, I have no idea what to do. I run around all over where I am, try grabbing things and changing layers and placing stickers all over the capital. Maybe I'm blind and I'm missing something but I just couldn't see it but you did give some good hints like when the jump was too far and you said you couldn't make the jump but a bird could or when you said to yourself how those vines might be grabbable. Anyway, I gave this level :star::star::star::star: and a <3 Nice job once again celsus.

P.S. The reason I haven't mentioned any of your levels on my blog is because I wanna play the whole series of OK CHOICE first because usually I mention a series of levels if their out, not just one after another after another after another.

Awsome feedback! I think I will make the birds a bit more real, it is a good point, I think the eyes change the feel compared to the other designs, I will alter them aroud a little. I may have had the level too free roam at that point. I thkn you found everything that direction, you just needed to go to the other side of the level (far left side) and that should have gotten you everything else you needed to finish. I think I will adjust the speech bubbles to say something a bit more informative than the tide. And thanks for the very kind words, I understand on waiting on the blog, I am just happy to hear that you wanted to mention it. I should have the level updated from your feedback over the weekend...unless I break down and can't fight the urge to fix it today...which usually happens.2010-10-14 16:59:00

Okay, thanks a lot. I'll try to play and give feedback on at least OK CHOICE pt. 4 and 5 by this weekend. But it gets a little busy askingtons of creators for interviews, running me blog, playing lots of levels, looking all over LBPC, LBL, LBN and more for news and more, planning a big project, giving suggestions for a fangame and MOAR :eek:2010-10-14 17:09:00

Well I broke down and did the update. Both sides now do more than just a vague "the current is strong" bubble and give a better direction while avoiding to give too much of a hint. The birds have eyes designed for them as much as the thermo would allow, I think it gives them a more organic feel, they have sticker touch-ups and textures altered. Also the final passage has new camera angles and few corners I had to fix before and remembered have been fixed..oh and a little more life was added to the far right of the ocean (by the current) so hopefully it fits well with the level. Again thanks for the great feedback Dragonvarsity. I know you are busy, so get to the others when ever you feel like it.2010-10-14 21:48:00

Thanks a lot, also, yeah, I'm actually kinda glad you didn't change those birds. I will agree they felt a little silly, but heck I just loved the way they looked. I can't guarentee it, but I'll see if I can retry pt. 3. Oh and thanks, if I get an e-mail though this weekend or earlier for LBP 2 since I have access to the forum and lbp.me, playing the rest might be a bit delayed. 2010-10-15 02:40:00

Lol, that's cool...I did edit the birds a little, if you do play it tell me if I should change them back. I kept the body structure, but changed textures and made more bird-like eyes...I am not sure if I actually improved them or not. Hope you get to play LBP2 beta, I don't have time for the beta because of all the improvements I am still doing on the LPB1 levels and the animation project that I just took a break from...but I already have the game reserved for when it comes out. Oh, and just as of today your score showed up on the scoreboard...it was first place on one of the levels...but then it vanished...and now it is showing that no one has played it...I really wonder what is wrong with those scoreboards at times.2010-10-15 04:44:00

Weird Well, as you can see by the reviews, I've only completed OK CHOICE pt. 1, so it must be that. So yeah, I'll definitely give pt. 3 another try. Oh, also, I have posted 246 blog posts so hopefully if I can finish up the OK CHOICE series and then I can put them on my blog for the 250th post extravanganza But after that, I might take a break from the blog with the LBP 2 beta and all.2010-10-15 14:30:00

If you get Beta you should test out a 3D layer level and see if it works, then again I thought I saw LBP2 listed as real 3D compatible or maybe that was motion? 250 would be cool, maybe I will make a newspaper sticker with the levels listed on the blog as the headlines and leave it in the level somewhere hidden as an easter egg. Just finished the animation, and made a smaller compressed image of it for the signature.
