Hi all! I wanted to just lay out what i want to do with this, I want to really want to make a full game this will be a really long time coming and im not going to rush it, I will be doing it between levels.

Thing's I want


Full story
Three types of gameplay
World hub
Feel like a game in it own right
Better looking then ever
Out do Mm


In the beta i made a little teaser level

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaAejOa0tu0

here a chip of what the 2nd gameplay


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND0eLATBYiw

XD coming 2012

ill try and keep you updated but dont want to give to much away

here the summary

Sky Town: Darkened skies part 1
My Sky Town has a specials place for me, and I?m happy to say I've been working on making the best one yet. So it time to grab hold of a balloon and come with me into the new Sky Town: Darkened skies.

This is part one with five levels unique, Best played in order but I know I can?t keep everyone happy all the time so they are open and all under one Hub. One of my goals was to make something that feel like a game.

Act 1
This is my take on a LBP RPG town, Take the first steps on your journey into the skies explore the town on the day of the Sky town balloon fair.

Act 2
Taking too the skies on a balloon in the ruins in the outskirt of Sky town.

Act 3
You finally catch up only to be fired at, meanwhile what other events are unfolding?

Act 4
Without a balloon lucky for you have a umbrella just in time for the rain, as you make your way out of Sky town?s graveyard.

Act 5
Your journey take you high up into the cold skies where many sackthing?s have lose they life.

Sky Town: Darkened skies part 2 coming when it's done lol		2010-11-30 23:42:00

Three types of gameplay! Could these be floating on a baloon, platforming, and puzzles?
And outdoing MM! I haven't played the story mode yet(obviously), but I'm pretty sure it's gonna be a whilebefore the community gets good enough to rival MM's innovation and clean gameplay.

I hope you change the controllinator, it looks weird with your sackboy moving behind the baloon. O_O		2010-12-01 00:50:00

This looks awesome! I'm willing to help if you ever need it! I may not be a well-known creator, and I do consider myself fairly young, but do not think that I am bad! I great at using logic, not as good as rtm223, but still quite good!
If you want an example, the lockbox level (in LBP 1) was all my logic. This was before I knew about using winches to overpower pistons too! everything was AND switches OR switches, and Emmiters! I don't know if it was a great feat, but I still think it was a good job!
Anyway I can also help with other stuff too.

OOOOO MAN! My favorite creator in the universe is making a full game? I can't wait. I played all your levels and the skytown ones were always my favorite. And your airship level on the beta is awesome! This is almost as exciting as finding out there was an lbp2 coming out! If you ever need anyone to playtest or anything hit me up!!!2010-12-01 02:39:00

If you need help jump_button I could help you develop a story...currently I have no real building skills as you can tell by my levels in LBP but in my graphic novel series FATAL FANTASIA you will see I have a great story with an interesting concept and could offer to help you develop a story for your project if you need it. could also help you with ideas on how to progress the game and the like.

feel free to shoot me a PM if you're interested in my help		2010-12-01 11:10:00

I played the demo and I really hope that you will change the control scheme back to the way it was in lbp1. It felt unrewarding and was simply not as much fun as the old control scheme. A huge part of what made your previous sky town levels so great, for me, were the controls, and now that such a large amount of levels in lbp2 are using movers in a similar fashion as you are, it no longer has that authentically unique feel to it. And on top of that, they simply don't feel right in the level. Sackboy holding onto a balloon but he's not falling? That seems weird and unnatural to me. I love your art style as usual; it's fantastic, but these controls... PLEEEEAAAAASE change them back

Edit: I forgot to mention how much I loved the relaxed, slow pace of the previous levels. There was something about pulling the balloon along with you, as your aid, your partner! If you let it go you are doomed; you need it! These feelings created a unique play experience, too, that I feel has gone missing, simply from the change of controls.		2010-12-02 03:29:00

scuse me but...WHAT CONTROLS? all we did was hold R1 the entire time and that's just tiring after a while of constantly holding the same button for such a long time...and ESPECIALLY if he's making a series with it I'd rather NOT be holding the R1 button throughout the entire adventure...sure most people would agree		2010-12-02 03:31:00

yeah but it feels like you're the one whos actually holding on to something, it makes you feel like the sackboy and the r1 button is the grabbable part of the balloon

it's more real per se...		2010-12-02 03:35:00

I don't think you fully comprehended what I was trying to point out in my earlier post...

It created a unique play experience. The thing I liked most about those levels was the fact that you needed that balloon, you can't let go of it. I edited my post while you were posting before, you most likely didn't see this.

still tho it's very tedious to keep hold of a button all the time...to me realism would be holding both L1 and R1...and that's even more of a pain

when you play flower...you don't worry about being "doomed" because of your holding of a button...you just slow down...which is fine with me IMO...you don't need to die in a game to enjoy it...

for Sky Town all it needs is some calming music...maybe try to loosen up the controls a bit more (but no holding buttons unless its to speed up travel)...and add some ambiance to it in the night parts with crickets and lighting techniques and wind noise or something...in the end i believe THIS will help the series a great one		2010-12-02 03:47:00

I personally don't find holding r1 tedious. Besides, your point is ridiculous to me... maybe holding l1 and r1 would feel more real if they both represented a different hand, but in this game, as you know, to grab you press r1, and to me that's the same amount of realism as l1 and r1 combined would be. Anyway you're still slightly missing the point I was trying to make, please reread my posts before getting so upset with me. I never meant my original post to be negative, if that's how you're seeing it. I sincerely loved the first sky town levels and these new controls worry me greatly. On the other hand, maybe I'm being selfish, I don't know everyone's opinions on these new controls yet, but I would really like to see the old ones implemented. SImply making sackboy and the balloon affected by gravity again would be fantastic.2010-12-02 03:59:00

no offense but nobody is getting upset over what you're saying...all im saying is holding R1 is annoying and i wouldnt want it back in the game

there are other ways to make the game great without having to hold a button for hours on end :/		2010-12-02 04:04:00

I'm with zynax on this one. While I love all the skytown levels including the newest one, the old ones had something that the newest did not. In the old ones you had to hold onto the balloon and it made you jump higher and longer than any other sackboy in skytown! But the new level it's kind of like the sackbot on the balloon is an alternative to the jetpack. I think that jump button should make it however he wants since it is his level, but I think a good balance of both would be nice. You could have the old mechanics of just grabbing onto a balloon, and then when you want to float you could have some gravity manipulated or something involving movers somehow using the various logics. But I never thought holding onto R1 was tedious. It was part of the game. You have to hold onto a balloon, and grab is R1 in littleBigPlanet. Either way, I'm sure that however this game comes out it will definitely be awesome, and that is why Jump_Button is my favorite creator.2010-12-02 04:23:00

no one is flaming :/

so you don't seem to be reading correctly :/

and for me it was tedious cuz i always had to hold it....which for me is no fun and its just annoying when i have to keep holding down on it just to hold the balloon...nothing wrong with the DCS imo		2010-12-02 04:47:00

Well, you could see your sackboy in the seat the whole time and every time you die you see both the sackbot and your sackperson dying. That would have to be worked out and made to look clean. He said three types of gameplay. So maybe we'll all get what we want and have the old way, the new way, and a super secret top of line newest way. By the way, we are here to discuss this guy's idea for a actual full game in littlebigplanet 2. If he's looking in here I'm sure he would want to see actual opinions, advice, and discussion, not arguments. C'mon guys.2010-12-02 04:52:00

I wasn't trying to upset or anger anyone and if I did, I'm sorry. I was simply trying to sincerely share my opinion about the changes made in the level. My opinion may have come off as strong because I really just want to see this series succeed in every possible way and I felt worried about certain changes that were made, as the demo is my only knowledge really of what the series will be like. Also, Kitkasumass, I really hope your speculation about the 3 different types of gameplay is right.2010-12-02 05:26:00

3 types of gameplay

balloon
cinema
puzzles/normal platforming...that's what i think		2010-12-02 05:27:00

Posts: 3365

By cinema, do you mean watching a cutscene? Because I wouldn't really consider that gameplay. I would think it means something more along the lines of three different play styles being used in the level, like Kitkasumass mentioned before.2010-12-02 05:32:00

They tree gameplay type will be with out going to much into them

full control as seen in the beta level

limited control more like the old level

No control of the balloon

As for holding the button down I never found it hard at all but alot did moan about about it all i can say is they mush had been holding they pads funny, but in LBP i can make a sackbot grab somthing so it ok		2010-12-02 07:10:00

I've always loved your skytown levels and was reminded of them recently whilst playing a nitrome game involving ballons. I think a good idea would be to be controller the wind rather then the ballons, making the level unique. having sackboy have a run up, over the cliff face then controller the wind to blow his ballon would make for challenging and fun I think. Maybe something to think about implementing?2010-12-17 12:18:00

It would be cool if you could move the balloon through the three layers. I was thinking about it today. But I'm not sure if using the grabinators would let you float while holding the balloon or if sackboy would just carry it. Figured I'd share though anyway. Good luck.2010-12-25 02:19:00

Yeah, simply add those in/out movers.
Didn't get a chance to play this level/demo, is there any difference between this (demo vid) and the standard jetpack gameplay?
It looked like it was harder to control in the vid.		2011-01-02 07:04:00

Maybe the story could be like you are the protector of you Skytown and a rival Skytown is threatening to blow you out of the sky so you have to use your balloon to float on their town and you pull off an attack on them and so the level would be you balloon onto their town, fight baddies, solving puzzles or whatever and save the day. IDK if you already got something in mind but thats just what I would do.2011-02-02 04:16:00

Very nicely done, tho the feel of the balloon felt a lil odd tho.
Had that feeling too, the balloon felt really odd, certainly when you try to go down with it, you might want to fine tune that.
It could use some more "fun" factor aswell imho, having the feeling you are glued to a balloon doens't feel very fun to me
The background with the clouds looked very odd to me (your sky has reflections now, which totally ruins the effect of depth, unless you're aiming for that)
Not trying to bash it, just some feedback like you asked

Really like the visuals in this...similar to previous levels in the series but nicer. The ruined buildings w/stained glass windows, the waterfalls, it all looked great. I agree that the clouds look odd being made out of holo?

Not sure what changes you are planning for the balloon control...if you could retain the feel of the previous entries w/o having to hold R1 like you've got with the new control scheme that would be great. Doesn't feel like the balloon is making you floaty in this one...because it's not, it's just attached to you and that just doesn't look right either...

Looking forward to seeing where you go with this.		2011-03-20 22:09:00

havent played it...but for clouds i think it'd be more realistic to use the fluff clouds

as for water using the sponge material FREAKY CLOUDS makes it look like more realistic water (can be tweaked to look more to your liking and realistic) imo instead of waterfall material

that's my two cents on it		2011-03-20 22:14:00

The demo was absolutly astonishing! But I do miss having to hold R1, trying to steal my friends balloon when I loose my balloon was one of my favorite parts in the LBP1 versions. I cant wait until the full thing is released though. 2011-03-30 21:31:00

Sorry for this kind of off-topicness but this seems very interesting and i read some of the comments but I can not find any sky town level for LBP1? Are they on a different account or just have a different name? Sorry for not being able to give feedback but I might after playing the LBP1 version and maybe watch a vid of the LBP2 one.2011-03-31 05:22:00

hi all still working on this about time I show something new, so here the 2nd gameplay type aka the old gameplay, the umbrella will be more like the old skytown and it will be darker to contrast with the more sunny level of the balloon.

I always have loved the floaty balloon gameplay to your levels,
very dreamy feeling~ the whole floating platforming is very fun type to play.
been trying to add just a tiny bit of that type of feeling in some my levels I'm working on right now.
takes me ages tho as I'm slow at coming up with gameplay. last new level i played of yours
was one with a little bird. but besides from that. i've not played any of yours sense the LBP2 beta.
right now I'm putting a mini game in my level where floating people come and pick you up
and drop you off to other out of reach platforms. kinda annoying as the bots will drop you
if the bot that's holding you changes layers. so pretty much just have to deal with that part.

I look forward to this level your making. I always enjoy your stuff.		2011-05-23 21:10:00

The music is from Puella Magi Madoka Magica its a really dark anime lets just say about everyone dies, Im no good with music so anyone want to ill love this song for LBP2

Looks fantastic jump But i have 2 questions if you don't mind answering?

1st off how did you get that smooth rain like effect?

2 how did you get the twirling wind with leaves it looks like with gravel in it effect? ( twirling wind) almost like a tornado. it looks very cool.

BTW, I can probably make that music for you if you want me to?		2011-05-24 01:41:00

Holy cow, so many merged post :O

Anyways, you shouldn't rush jump_button. It takes time to make a great, flawless level. The move pack has been out, so I believe jump_button might be experimenting with the new tools and features like everyone else have been. He said not to expect it anytime soon, so yeah, just wait.		2011-09-22 00:03:00

First off I dont think jump_button wants to spoil the levels he is working on second he makes his levels very polish. So im sure it will be out sometime next month are before the end of the month thats just IMO but it will be out when he feels like its done, just like with any body working on a level.		2011-09-23 15:37:00

Wow ok I think you need to explore a wonderful place called, "OUTSIDE YOUR HOUSE" not to be mean are sound like a ***, but I have to agree with FluffySpazz. I mean jump_button said he has stuff going on, now that may mean family issues, gaming issues, are anything. People on this forum do have a life you know. Now some may be sitting around playing pokiemon are whatever the hell nerds play. (srry if i insulated any one lol) are people probably enjoy life hoping to become famous a one day are make it big in hollywood (Like me, and possibly others) But the point is jump_buttons life does not involve around you. the dude has a life of his on, im sure he will publish it when he wants to.		2011-10-04 01:50:00

No worries, electricity running perfectly fine over here ^^

Jokes aside though, the project is looking very nice. I took a look at the video posted in the O.P. for the Umbrella concept. I love how you're mixing things up, not just with themes of places but a different ride too. Good luck with this and if you need anyone to help beta test the levels, I'd be happy to, it is my specialty trying to break other people's levels. 		2011-10-04 13:34:00

Will looks like it want be what you thought. Im sure he will release it sometime this week. This is just my guess tho, since he said in a earlier post it was going to be release last week but he delay it. So my best guess is he will release it sometime this week. He just wants to make it look nice, since he never made 5 or 6 sky town levels before in one project not to mention this is his first big project he done in LBP2 so just wait. I am sure it will be absolutely outstanding when he releases it. 		2011-10-10 06:16:00

It's good getting feedback but please, jump has said it himself, he's not giving dates anymore. I don't want to seem rude here but projects have their delays, and this is 6 levels and I'm sure he's trying to make it look as beautiful as he can, so give him some time, it is actually getting quite irritating.

here the summary

Sky Town: Darkened skies part 1
My Sky Town has a specials place for me, and I’m happy to say I’ve been working on making the best one yet. So it time to grab hold of a balloon and come with me into the new Sky Town: Darkened skies.

This is part one with five levels unique, Best played in order but I know I can’t keep everyone happy all the time so they are open and all under one Hub. One of my goals was to make something that feel like a game.

Act 1
This is my take on a LBP RPG town, Take the first steps on your journey into the skies explore the town on the day of the Sky town balloon fair.

Act 2
Taking too the skies on a balloon in the ruins in the outskirt of Sky town.

Act 3
You finally catch up only to be fired at, meanwhile what other events are unfolding?

Act 4
Without a balloon lucky for you have a umbrella just in time for the rain, as you make your way out of Sky town’s graveyard.

Act 5
Your journey take you high up into the cold skies where many sackthing’s have lose they life.

Sky Town: Darkened skies part 2 coming when it’s done lol		2011-10-18 14:45:00

He is working on it fast as he can, it will be out when he is done. It shouldn't be long at all since the last thing he has to do is test out all 5 levels to make sure there are no holes, glitchs are stuff so it looks clean. Now it may be out tomorrow are the next day or even another 2 weeks., it will be done when he feels like its 100% complete. All we have to do is wait.		2011-10-20 18:35:00

Thnx for the heads up jump, I am curious to see the graveyard level, how it looks from video it looks good with rain effect you did. Also you deserve a well deserved break from this project. And there is no doubt in my mind that this will be a Mm pick anc 100x better then your sky towns in LBP1. btw what time do you think it will be out? morning, afternoon, night? just wondering ^^2011-10-25 23:59:00
