Ello! My names LordMagicPanties and I've been working on this load of crap for a bit. At the momment I'm calling it 'Urban monsters' But I might change it to something better later. http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/1666/4f2be5aa4ce38d628a974b4.jpg (http://img691.imageshack.us/i/4f2be5aa4ce38d628a974b4.jpg/) This is the beginning, giant lizard man spits you out, cross the bridge and blah blah intro to the story. http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/9503/f9e410e74b8a23f66e16c76.jpg (http://img442.imageshack.us/i/f9e410e74b8a23f66e16c76.jpg/) This is the first part of the city, gameplay like a zig zag your way into the city to the top. I'm trying to make it a paintgun level but trying to make it more to use for the obstacles rather then the enemies. I'm just not happy about this really... is it the monsters are to small and bland? or is the town to dull? http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/4881/c5a56e6bcffdc040830f00a.jpg (http://img43.imageshack.us/i/c5a56e6bcffdc040830f00a.jpg/) Just the second city part really. http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/5705/e5b97d04ce4c0e07698965d.jpg (http://img291.imageshack.us/i/e5b97d04ce4c0e07698965d.jpg/) After that it's then into the construction site which is being vandalized by the giant lizard men and is eating all the workers. What I like about this level is that it's all broken up into 4 different areas. http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/2831/0aa7a1dc138a60b181c4c3a.jpg (http://img705.imageshack.us/i/0aa7a1dc138a60b181c4c3a.jpg/) Which ends up being chased out the site by the police. http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/1606/8e3a0c64239fb5c69c7b617.jpg (http://img715.imageshack.us/i/8e3a0c64239fb5c69c7b617.jpg/) Which ends in the next area the sewer. http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/4782/8f846a44fc3150914e33bb9.jpg (http://img401.imageshack.us/i/8f846a44fc3150914e33bb9.jpg/) You then fight this bloke, giant, green, mutant, crab, man.. thing. http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/5947/ab5409bda6dffbade123209.jpg (http://img211.imageshack.us/i/ab5409bda6dffbade123209.jpg/) And then some how you end up in the club, the last section... Havn't done much to this area, just the basic layout to if I had enough room for everything. Thoughts? opinions? ideas?... help?

Load of crap!?! This looks great! I will be sure to check on this when ever I get a chance! You said that somehow you end up in the club, how about, after the crab fight, the sewer ground crumbles away, and you fall through a pipe into an underground club? See ya around! BTW, I am digging the use of the Monster Pack! The cartoon effect is awesome! Thanks again!

Liking the character designs. Not many cartoon style monsters in LBP unfortunately. Looks good so far. As long as it's up to the standard of your other levels I know I won't be disappointed.

Yeah this is looking great and funny! Nice use of the monster pack If I had only one advice, it would be to wait a little and continue the work in LBP2, you'll have much more options and possibilities, and the level will look better..! But maybe this is already what you planned to do...

Well, I saw this in create mode, and I tell you, it was definitely not crap! Once again your corner editing prowess is your greatest ally, creating awesome-looking characters and a great landscape (No, not bland at all.). I slightly agree with dajdaj, and maybe you should wait until LBP2..... but on the other hand, you've done a lot so far, and maybe LBP2's new features would ruin it..... Only time will tell. Never doubt yourself, Lord of Witchcraft Pantaloons!

This isn't crap, this is really good! I really like your choice in character design, they look like something out of a cartoon, yet still very great! The level design in nice and smooth. There's no blank or empty spots out of the pictures I see. I've not seen of played your other levels, but from what I see of this, I'm playing them no matter what. Keep up the good work, I'm quite excited to try this level out.

I agree that this doesn't look crap at all in fact as soon as it is released it will be added to my queue of levels to play On a side note the big guy with his mouth open in this pic http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/5705/e5b97d04ce4c0e07698965d.jpg reminds me of Cheese from Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends http://i.cdn.turner.com/v5cache/CARTOON/site/Images/i4/180x180_profile_fosters_cheese_02.jpg so I fully expect that when I see that character in the level I will imagine him saying "I like fishy crackers"

BTW, I am digging the use of the Monster Pack! The cartoon effect is awesome! Thanks again! Thank you for the kind words I got an idea to get into the club, it's more lawls and unexpected heh... hopefully. But thanks for the feedback and idea! much appreciated! Liking the character designs.

But maybe this is already what you planned to do... I was already in the lbp2 beta but... all this logic and new switches confuses me but cheers Well, I saw this in create mode, and I tell you, it was definitely not crap!

I'll have to see if I can squeeze in a reference somewhere! Alrighty! I've been doing a little change about with the buildings this morning and here are the results... http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/5516/b409d7af65e8d2d8cdca621.jpg (http://img262.imageshack.us/i/b409d7af65e8d2d8cdca621.jpg/) I've try to brighten the town up a bit, what I like is all the colour and textures yet still looking gloomy to fit in a city/monster environment... thing I'm worried about if it's a bit OTT and blends in with the monsters to much... http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/135/4f292e4db24d4bca4358142.jpg (http://img12.imageshack.us/i/4f292e4db24d4bca4358142.jpg/) This one how ever I think makes the monsters stand out better... but still find it a bit bland, I then thought I should scrap the zigzag layout and make the city area a full move right till the end. That way I can make the monsters bigger giving it more visual appeal... hopefully. Thoughts?

It looks amazing! The way you have used the lighting to brighten up the environment is brilliant, and I can't wait to see what it'll look like in LBP2! Have you got any more screens of the club yet?

New building designs look neat. Better than before imo. Reminds me of Monsters Inc. (compliment)

Ah, I remember when you showed me this. Looking awesome. To spice it up add some nice lighting and perhaps some background scenery(trees, bushes, clouds, monsters, scaffolding etc.)? Make some LEDs and lamps really big then gasify them and put them wherever. For the sewer maybe put a bit of rusty metal on top of the stone? Also, for the club you could have like moving barstool platforms, bar counters and monsters passed out on the floor and you bounce off their beer bellies(just throwing ideas out there lol) Anyways, was really fun and addictive when I played it, and looks great.

I can't wait to play this! Now, how do you fight the boss-green-crab-thing? I see a 2 way switch on the right, but that is far too simple(it has many wires, though) and looks like it's mounted on Dark Matter so it looks like it's not included.

Cheers I've added some trees near a cut-scene which looks alot better., I'll see about adding other stuff once I get other basics done.

I see a 2 way switch on the right, but that is far too simple(it has many wires, though) and looks like it's mounted on Dark Matter so it looks like it's not included. It's just hitting switches making things from above take hit points from him while dodging attacks, the 2 way switch was just testing a spring pad I made. I has made more progress. http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/8200/0c27dd8fea009c8669607e4.jpg (http://img202.imageshack.us/i/0c27dd8fea009c8669607e4.jpg/) Here's how the city looks now! bit more lights n' scenery and I think I'm done. I might have to reduce the city areas size a bit depending on the thermo. http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/4861/0e2ab1dbf8c6289876eabeb.jpg (http://img132.imageshack.us/i/0e2ab1dbf8c6289876eabeb.jpg/) Alot more funky looking monsters. http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/8933/9a1b358ba5c56c0ab8b7aec.jpg (http://img717.imageshack.us/i/9a1b358ba5c56c0ab8b7aec.jpg/) Just finished the construction area... 3 quarters left of the thermo just for the sewer, club, 2 mini bosses and final boss with 2 phases... challenge accepted! http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/3442/061edd88f2804921eaf8240.jpg (http://img710.imageshack.us/i/061edd88f2804921eaf8240.jpg/) booombs! lots of them here. http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/4307/6f91381ff987a5958010320.jpg (http://img529.imageshack.us/i/6f91381ff987a5958010320.jpg/) This areas mini boss! was gonna be like a twin boss but just couldn't think of a set up for them and how to take them down.
