Cupful of Air (Demo/Concept)

Archive: 13 posts


My first LBP2 level.

Test out Larry Da Vinci's newest invention, the Cupful of Air.
I spent quite a while on this level getting to grips with the Controlinator. I was trying to play about and just simply make this level fun, so don't expect a very complex storied level.

F4F Conditions:
The first five people to give a short paragraph of feedback, I will give feedback to.
Although, I'll probably play levels at request anyway

Enjoy!

This was rather fun! Flying a teacup around while shooting things.

One bit of input - in the part where you have to exit the teacup underwater to get in the crag - the magic mouth that tells to to not forget.... also requires the triangle button to display the text - which blocks pressing triangle to exit the teacup. In LBP2 you can put a magic mouth on a sequencer, tell it to display as a caption, and trigger the sequencer when the player gets within range. This will cause a nice clean "Don't forget to exit your teacup" message at the bottom of the screen.

Thanks man!
I was wondering how I would get something like the to happen!
I will probably change the demo now!
This will be helpful with the full level

Queued and will review within 30 minutes. Please F4F my Signature 2 Part Level in exchange, thanks in advance.

Review Time!

Since this wasn't a full level but a tech demo as stated I will skip the usual formula I use for level reviews. I would increase the total deceleration ratio to 100% for tighter control of the craft. Other then that it was spot on and would definitely serve as the framework for a side scrolling space shooter or some similar level theme.

Controls: 4/5 Adjust the braking and maybe increase the rate of fire on the weapon and you'll be cooking
Technical Aptitude: 2/5 A relatively simple level to construct.

Overall: 3/5 A Good Starting Point!

Thanks for the review! Very helpful. I'll tweak the breaking next time I'm on LBP2! Thanks!

I enjoyed flying around in a tea-cup and I want more stuffz like this...

But I have several complaints with the teacup.

Firstly I wanted to be able to shoot left as well. Only being able to shoot right was annoying.
Secondly the anti-grav object tweaker was also annoying. If you don't have the anti-grav tweaker it floats without falling.

I won't complain about the visuals and background since it was a tech-demo....

But I'd rate the teacup :star::star::star:. No matter how cool it is flying in a teacup which shoots things, until you fix those things above, it's a solid 3 star from me.


The level showcase isn't popular? Bah! :hrmf:

Right, I'll add L1 as a left emitter and now I've set it so that the Teacup doesn't fall as I've had someone note me on that already

I know the background and visuals were quite poor. The full level is set in Da Vinci's Hideout, and I think it will be a better level all round

Anyway, thanks for the feedback

Hey man, just played your level there!

For a first try I think it was decent, a pretty random idea but I actually think it could work in a full level. As others have said, making the teacup fire in different directions would be great, and I also think making it fire tea or water would be a nice visual touch. The teacup itself seemed to be continually wanting to fall, which I found a bit frustrating, but I'm sure some tweaking with the anti-gravity will fix that.

I think if you can work on the theme for a full level this could be pretty fun, but don't rush into it because the teacup controls do need quite a bit of work.

Check out level in my sig if you get the chance

0Just so you know, to fix the anti-grav tweaker thing, just set the Anti-Grav, Dampening, whatever it was to 100% on your anti-grav tweaker.

That's everything on the anti-grav tweaker, 100%.
