Steel Wheel (crazy minigame) with video and pics!!

Archive: 11 posts


I just uploaded my first level created with the full version of LBP,.. I have a few levels up I made with the beta that I eventually hope to update..

The level is a minigame called Steel Wheel, my PSN is GamerDonn,

In the game you enter a large metal rotating wheel suspended over a pit of fire that increases in speed the longer you play and begins to fall apart piece by piece ( watch the lights on the edge of the wheel, if the small lights begin to flash red that part of the wheel is about to drop off ),.. this level was a big experiment in timed magnetic switches, as well as with animated lights, and was allot of fun to make,. as the wheel spins score bubbles are dropped,.. Whoever collects the most points(more than likely the player who lasts the longest) is the winner

Just for playing the level you win a neat scrolling arrow sign with animated LED lights that I made.. (the arrow sign can be seen at the beginning of the level)

I haven't been online (and on the forum) for a while,..this past month and a half has been devoted to closing on my house and moving (i hate moving), Ive finally settled in and just this week began to play LBP for real, so id love to hear any feedback from anyone who plays... :-)

If you scroll down you can see a video made by mikeniccy

Here are a few bad pics of the level... (i need a better tv) haha

The search for some reason comes up with quite a bit,..sorry about that :-(

If you search for Steel Wheel and look on the North East coast of North America you can find it,... the patch is an orange fiery color with 2 tiny sackboys silhouette on it :-)

ah it's on the front page now. I tried it and it's amazing, it's far better than the MM mini games. What is there to say, maybe (I'm sure if this happens) it should continue getting faster after the last platforms disappear, I could have quite easily gone on forever I just couldn't be bothered. It doesn't get fast enough and the regularity makes it easy to keep going, but apart from that this is simply outstanding.2008-11-15 04:57:00

Thanks allot!! I'm going to work on it and see if i cant make it speed up even more,..or maybe i should just turn up the default speed a bit,

I also thought about adding more random obstacles appear after the fireballs begin to shoot up from the bottom (I literally just learned how to make a randomize switch)

thanks again for the feedback

I just updated my level to make it a bit more challenging, there was a point in the game when things begin to become a bit regular and the difficulty plateaus and it becomes possible for an experienced player to keep playing forever... (not anymore)

I fixed this by adding a random danger element, about two minutes after the fireballs begin to shoot up from the firepit the score bubble generator begins to randomly drop deadly electric decoy score bubbles, at first there is a bright blue light that warns you when its about to happen but after a while the electric bubbles drop without any warning and in increasing numbers..
