The Skyward Tower I - Tower Building

Archive: 3 posts


NEW LINK: http://lbp.me/v/wme368
New and improved topic coming soon!
Part II coming not so soon, but still coming, nonetheless!

So, this is my first attempt at making a level. Anyone who can play, test and feedback will be greatly aprecciated!

This is the first level in a series that I've planned. I know that this one is more on the amateur side, as I am still in my first steps as a creator... I kinda came late to the party and with LBP2 releasing next monday, well... But anyways! ^^ So I wanted this series to be a platformesque series of levels that tells the story of the Skyward Tower and the day Sackboy was invited to work on the building of the tower.

So here's the story...

The B.I.R.D. Initiative is an organization that aims to control a special type of energy discovered in the Sky. They are led by the mysterioys B.I.R.D. C.E.O. , who's the man behind the Tower construction.

This energy, simply dubbed "Sky Power", have properties yet unknown to man and sackman alike.

The Skyward Tower is a giant tower that tries to reach the Sky and extract the Sky Power directly from it. For that, they use many types of machines designed by the B.I.R.D. Initiative itself. The tower is in early stages of construction, but they're already extracting small portions of Sky Power and storing it in batteries, so they can power up all the machinery they're using.


Sackboy have just been hired to work on the construction site (just a half-time job) but he doesn't know what he's supposed to do. It's up to him to find the C.E.O. in the middle of all the mess that is the construction site of the Tower.

Will the B.I.R.D. Initiative be successful in they plan?

Or will they be consumed by the same unknown power they foolishly tried to harness?

+ Love your picture/sticker storyboard in this level thread!
+ Nice sticker work in level.
- A lot of blind faith jumps. The player should always see what's ahead, or alternatively you can lead the player by placing score bubbles in the intended path.
- Indirect H4H.

Don't really know what else to say, everything worked ok, some humor in there also. Entertaining level.
Good stuff. Great stuff for a first level.
I rated it four stars and give it a heart because it had all the newbie charm, with none of the newbie problems.
<3

EDIT: Nah, not needed, but there's a link in my sig if you really want to.
That "blind faith" tip is in the level, so you may learn some more stuff like that.

Thanks for the nice feedback, midnight_heist!! I had real great fun while making this level, but there's always the concern that you're screwing it up and doesn't even know that! XD So, feedbacks from experienced creators' point of view is always a good help!

Working on fixing the blind jumps and improving some stuff as I work on Part II as well!^^

So, midnight, are you asking specific feedback 4 feedback?^^"
