Testers for level!

Archive: 16 posts


Hey, im making a level which is going to be my first real one. It's about a town where a pink blob with shoes's wife, is nabbed by the evil landlord for lack of rent. The Evil landlords rent is huge (You know, cause he's evil), and it's your job to get the blob's wife back! (I forgot to mention the blob also has a hat, they are fond of hats here).So you go through the town, ring the doorbell multiple times, get past the doorman, go through the dungeon, and back through into the mansion to the top where you save the blob's wife. Im only just at the part where you get back into the house and I need testers to give suggestions/ tell me if it is too hard to do. THANKS A BUNCH!!!!

The game's called "Wife Napper", with my psn name mingebarg.

I see you are new to to lbpc, welcome! Just so you know I and nearly everyone else here at lbpc suggest NOT doing a story level for your first level, because typically your first level isn't very good since you aren't familiar with all the methods and tools yet. Don't take it offensively, mine and about 80% of the people here didn't have very good ones either. However, I hope it all works out well! I will try to beta test it this weekend sometime but I'm pretty busy now2010-11-27 19:24:00

Thank you so much guys, i know a little bit about logic because i've attempted to make ones before when the patch wasn't out, stopped playing until it did, and this is what came out first. I really appreciate it.2010-11-27 20:20:00

Hey Mingebarg! Welcome to LBPC!

I'm going to give you a playing commentary on how your levels doing (: Please fasten your seatbelt and enjoy the ride feedback!

Ok a nice first impression! the houses look nice, but they could be better.

Here's a pic of the houses after I messed around with the stickers:

Ok moving on now.Nice tree! It's very good to see you're using the cornerv editor! No problems with that tree C:
Nice character design! Yup that's very well done (: Unfortunately the end part of your text came off though. It says "Please help me! I couldnt pay my bills and the evil landlord kidnapped my wife! His payment is outrageou"

To ensure this doesn't happen, it's a good idea to end your sentences with "....". That way if anything gets cut, it's just dots.

Hmm the ground seems a bit boring right now. To create a more uniqueand interesting environment, perhaps you could change that one thick layer into two half thick layers and corner edit the ground. As well as, or alternatively you could create fences in the front layer. If you've played any of my levels you may have noticed I use fences quite a bit. I find it really boosts that visual aspect! Anywho, moving on...

Hmm that background hill has a couple of issues. It looks as though it's been cut off over here:

http://i51.tinypic.com/2rcbe5w.jpg

You might want to get out your pal, the corner editor to fix that up for you.
The other issue is that the hill is floating. You probably want to push it back down so it's sitting on the ground.

Some more work on that door would be nice. And perhaps reduce the number of rings you have to do as well. If the door leads to inside a house you should add a thin background at the back and decorate with interior stickers. Again, the character design is lovely! He looks hard to get past. I'll have a go!
As I suspected it's far too hard to get past him! Maybe you could fix this issue by having interior deco(couches, table etc..) assist you.

That's all for now untill you fix the doorman.

Keep up the great workl!

alright, i'm giving you feedback as i play the level:
"looking for it in the community moon, oh i found it... wait, why does it have only 1 star and 1 play, is it so bad?
anyways, downloaded it!
now im entering the level
(big loading, so it means the level is big)
alright im in the level, and... wow it looks good, the houses look awsome and it has loads of environmental stuff, oh, and now there is this pink creature, wich i'll assume it is the blob... lol, the wife was stolen becouse of the taxes
and now im walking to its house, ahahaha, so many signs telling me to leave, and saying they dont like me xD
now i found its door, and the pink-thing is here again, telling me to ring the bell...
alright, im ringing this thing for 2 minutes and still nothing happened...
oh, he talked when i grabbed it again!!!
and when i grab again he's talking again! (lol, he is payed to dont open the door xD)
and now im entering its lair (wondering why doesnt it have walls in the back layer), oh there is this mad thing trying to kill me (gosh, its really hard to skip this part...)
(after loads of deaths) YAY, i did it, i got to the other side, and it has walls!!! and now some grid-made stairs for me to climb... oh they fell and mr. pink-thing and a skeleton are here too! wow, this skeleton is really well designed... oh, but when i grab it the lag comes, thats no problem, i like lag
and now there is a green spiky thing, i skip it, and now a giant rat, it looks nice too, and now a 2-way switch, wich i pulled and a square came and i grab it, and a new background came, it is dark...
and with it came big squares that (i suppose) are there to kill you, gosh, they really are in sync, and now a spider, looks cool, but i think there was one that looked like this one from a story-mode level. OH man, these spinders are really fast, they wype our burlap quite easily!
after them we have a cave with spikes and dissolvable material, and then a big tunnel...
(running, running)
holy sack, more skeletons, but this time there is a big green thing hitting them (much lag in this area, and you forgot to hide some bolts...)
now i have some little squares to jump to (and thats what i'll do ), gosh this part is a bit annoying, becouse every time i fall i must start it all over...
finally i completed it, and now i think im quiting this sewer... lol, this guy thinks im poop, and now im walking, and then i find more stairs (climbing, climbing) and now there is a door telling me to go home, but i prefer going to the other room
the room is simple but it has some simple platform elements in it... got the key (note with a "teehee" ) and now im going to the other room... (simple puzzle, yet fun ofc) and now im going through the vents... (getting treebunches out of the way)
oh, i fell off (retried,jumped, did it, walking, walking)
nice, i found his wife, lol she looks like a pig (and acts like a pig), i wonder why does mr. pink-thing loves her
found the scoreboard!"

OVERALL:
big level with small and simple puzzles, but i liked it
89/100 congratz!

EDIT:
just looked at how big my feedback was, sorry about that, now you must spend a lifetime reading it sorry
