I was never to huge into making levels in LBP1. I suppose this is majority due to the fact I get side-tracked easily and tend to get bored. However I did make one level in LBP1 while, not the super most impressive thing, I found to be a great accomplishment on my part. It even had an end boss that wasn't SUPER amazing, I thought was neat (:. So this is there my idea for new levels comes in, based on what my old one was. I also love (LOVE) winter. I love snowfall on cold dark nights as flakes pass through flood lights, so I want to base my entire series of levels in snow-based levels. I figure I Can make a pretty decent platformer with basic skills and practice with the tools. I'm looking for any feedback or input from people. (: Story:: "Many many generations ago, a story was passed down from elders, telling of a terrifying sorcerer whom once roamed the land, casting a snowy apocalypse wherever his path took him. For generations, mysteries of his power baffled those who desperately tried to uncover the source of his power, but to no avail. However, generations of study did not deter one brave Sackthing, who without halt, ventured forward and vanquished the sorcerers abominations after a perilous journey. It is told, after the defeat of the sorcerers most powerful tool, he lost much of his power and fled, not to be seen. The Sackthing, who braved the sorcerer was not so lucky, and in his final moments of battle, succumbed to a poison that bled out of the sorcerers creation, leaving him to die after his triumph. As the years passed, annual celebrations in Sackthings name were held, to give blessing to how fortunate they are the sorcerer has yet to return. They pray for the spirits well being, and their own well being, hoping for more prosperous times to continue. However, as the years passed, and the times changed, less and less people would gather and pray. With this, the Sackthings spirit lost it's capacity to stay in the mortal realm, and slowly his spirit began to decay and pull into the nether. As the Sackthings spirit eventually left the mortal realm entirely, cold winds and fogs began to flow through the lands, and a poison most vile began to creep across the rolling hills, eventually enveloping the Sackthing memorial statue. As people began dying of illness, they began to flee with only their most cherished belongings. However they could not escape the sorcerers clutch, as it once again came upon the lands, causing death whereever it tolled. Soon, everything was covered in snow, everything was left to ruin, and the vile fog began hunting down all things living, to suffocate them in it's poison. In a last effort attempt, the last of the people began to pray for forgiveness and safety, to be protected. But, as everyone knows the gods don't answer directly, and the people, left without hope, setup a final settlement to live, until the fog makes it's way to them and their fates have been decided. Their last hope, rests in the hope their prayers will be answered, and a new era of prosperity will begin. Will the call be answered.....?" Level Design:: So far, this is in the early stages of development. Asides from knowing the genre//type of music I want in my levels, as well as the atmosphere and feel, I still need to begin designing. (: Atmosphere//Feel:: For this, I want the levels to, for the most part, have a heavy and sorrowful feel to them. It won't be funny, full of mischief or gags. I want to try to give it a serious twist, and make you feel something when you play it. So far, i'm going for heavy feeling music, instrumentals such as "Hey There Deliljah" by The Plain White T's, and similar music. It won't be a dark, dreary series (some parts may be, to give more feeling), but it won't be super lit up and such. Gameplay:: Essentially, this is just going to be a platform, hopefully very story driven. It won't be entirely based on puzzles, large, hard, time consuming item finding or high scoring. It will have these, but won't be entirely based on it. Well, so far this is what i'v got. I'd love feedback from people on the idea, and any advice, ideas or suggestions you have. I'm hoping to start the actual level creation sometime in the next 2-3 weeks, but for now I want to make sure I have my foundation done. I'm also taking suggestions on possible level ideas. Right now I have the basic idea in my head of the order of the levels, and what they will consist of. (Like the very first level will be very, VERY lack with monsters, but only because it's what is going to start the story off and give people an idea of what the levels are going to be about and consist of.). I am also taking suggestions for boss ideas. I would like to have a few bosses, almost like the sorcerers "generals", but I haven't thought of any yet. Thanks in advance for reading this long winded thread and for any advice you got!

Wow this sounds pretty good. You actually got me to envision what it would look like which usually does not happen. I look forward to it. Also on a side not you might want to make your information available on LBP.me I was going to try your other level but I can't add it too my queue and I'm too lazy to look for it in game haha.

Thanks ^^. I spent like 15 minutes typing the story so it came out right! I couldn't even tell you the old level name...... It was way back, and I have a new PSn name since then ><. Wish I kept my old one cause I had aced//100% on almost everything in the first one. But ya, I'll check into that site, never looked at it before, or heard of it xD.

I found the level I made on my old account XD. My friend reminded me of my old PSN account name so I found it here. http://lbp.me/search?q=electrihifi It wasn't super sexy but, we had so so much fun playing through it xD. We got to the last boss and it was a mix between a piece from a level and my giant green guy. But we killed it and, unfortunately, something weird happened and the wall behind him didn't go down >.< Also... my monster creations kept spawn camping us........
