So. I've got an idea.....It might be old, it might be frowned upon, but I'm going to suggest it anyway and hope it catches on. Whilst talking with a 'MM picked' creator (30,000 plays plus as the time of writing) who has made a game based on the same subject I did, and, after he played and hearted my level I wondered whether I should be cheeky enough and ask for a little leg up....The leg up being a mention on his level description pointing everyone towards my own humble creation; but I couldn't beg, couldn't plead.....couldn't anything....it's just not right is it? Spamming levels also seems a little......seedy, so what else could I do to ensure my 'baby' has the best chance of survival?.... Well....why do we have to do it singularly? Why do we have to take on the toil and burden of making sure our levels get seen? Why not make other levels do it for us? I know what your thinking....."it's been done before..." cry the jaded creators of LBP, well, maybe not this way. The Idea The basis of the system is simple: A ring of chainlinked levels... For instance: you have a versus game.....I have a versus game.... and here it is... MicroChip in Challenge by FourteenInchGaz (http://lbp.me/v/xkj7s7) Similar to yours? Then all you would have to do is pop your details below mine and I'll link to your level...something along the lines of "If you liked this level, why not try xxx by xxx" in my level description....and so it goes.... Player 1 Links to Player 2 Player 2 links to Player 3 Player 3 links to Player 4 Player 4 links to Player 5 Player 5 links to Player 6 Player 6 links to Player 7 Player 7 links to Player8 Player 8 links to Player 9 Player 9 links to Player 10 Player 10 links to Player 1 Thats a ring of 10 levels linked into one another, all with a chance of receiving plays from the others. Why it works Well, for a start, no one is going cap in hand to another player asking for help. You post your level and your number in the chain like so.... LINK 1 How to make simple logic tutorial - by BrianTheBrain2000 .....and wait for someone to come along who thinks a link from you would help their level, to post like so.... LINK 2 How to make advanced logic - by MiketheGeek5000 ....and so on. also, if you can picture a chain of 10 versus levels linked like this, the chances of you getting hits by groups improves considerably. Now imagine you manage to get a popular level in your ring - the odds increase again. The other thing is, you're only responsible for your own link, you only have to converse with one person if you have any problems...the rest manages itself. And the biggest plus? There is hardly any effort and absolutely no trade off. You don't lose anything by doing it. You can only gain, whilst maximising your levels chances of being seen. Anyway. Thats the idea. If you have any constructive input, or ways of improving upon it, let me know, and if anyone fancies giving this a shot, look at my level, see if a link from it would help you in any way and then follow the instructions above. Thanks!

I think this idea is brilliant. However, it relies on the idea that a lot of people/popular people use it, so the idea needs to be pushed. Either way, it's awesome.

A good idea, however it would usually mean that the people playing level 3 wouldn't play level 9. It would be a bit like a ring, but with different players playing each section of the ring, so if one of the levels in the ring was popular only the level after it, and MAYBE the level after that, would benefit. I'm not sure whether that's good or bad.

Thanks Beedy! A good idea, however it would usually mean that the people playing level 3 wouldn't play level 9. It would be a bit like a ring, but with different players playing each section of the ring, so if one of the levels in the ring was popular only the level after it, and MAYBE the level after that, would benefit. I'm not sure whether that's good or bad. It's a knock on effect, tomodon. If one of the levels has high traffic the following level will see a rise in traffic through the link, and even IF that level is bad, it will still have high traffic....more eyes seeing the following on link......and so it continues to build, and thats not even taking into account the cumulative effects of the traffic generated by all the levels combined, just the one popular one. Also, its worth bearing in mind that because you are only really looking out for whats linking to you, you can always discuss any problems with the creator involved, and thats independent of everyone else in the chain.

Also, its worth bearing in mind that because you are only really looking out for whats linking to you, you can always discuss any problems with the creator involved, and thats independent of everyone else in the chain. If, for instance, you make a Super-man sackbot level, and let other sack-people copy the sackbot, and somebody in the chain made a level out of it, at the end of the super man sackbot level you could put a level link with a caption saying something like: "Mr.lalalakokodfj has made a full level of using my super man sackbot, check it out here!" And thus, if the superman sackbot is good, people will want to see a level with it. Good concept + Cool level = PLAYS, <3's and :star::star::star::star::star:'s!!!!!!

you could put a level link with a caption I'm not sure how level links work with regards other peoples creations (do you have to share your level with the person linking, for instance?) but, yes, I suppose you could take it wherever you wanted it. I just want to reiterate the simplicity of how this works to try and generate some interest. It's as complicated as a "Hey, I'll be link 2, could you please link to my level, link 1 guy, its <lbp.me URL here>"....and then wait until someone wants you to do the same for them...

When do you plan on starting it? If soon, here's the link to my first level: http://lbp.me/v/xsvhhr

When do you plan on starting it? If soon, here's the link to my first level: http://lbp.me/v/xsvhhr Well, We can but try this Beedy.....we're pioneers us...... As soon as I get on LBP I'll add your link to my level description, Heart you (for easier navigation for the community) and put: "If you like this level, you might want to try MoonQuest Part 1: The Mission by Beedy 10" Ok? Keep checking back with this thread so you can do the same for the next person asking for a link, thanks!..... So....So far we have LINK 1: MicroChip-in-Challenge (http://lbp.me/v/xkj7s7) by FourteenInchGaz LINK 2: MoonQuest Part 1: The Mission (http://lbp.me/v/xsvhhr) by Beedy10

Pioneer! I rather like that title. 'Pioneer Beedy'. Lol, trailing of... Anyway, I think we need to try to get this idea noticed by some more recognised creators, so the people following their activities will find your idea and look into it.

Yeah, good idea Pioneer Beedy, I'll try and drum up some support. Incidentally, I played your level (research and all that) and thought it were superb, but I also thought you might be better off getting your link from an equally good platformer. So, if we get any suitable levels in our ring, we can re jig the order if you'd like to maximize your potential. Fot now though, I've put up your link!

I totally agree, Pioneer Gaz (I swear, this is becoming a meme). Anyway, this idea is coming along nicely. Time will tell, I suppose.

this is not a terrible or spammy idea if done correctly a fairly, and thus does not need to be flamed or made fun, but thinking outside of here to peaple who abuse everything this is a ultimate destroy lbp 2 tool... by that i mean they will set random links you dont want to go to at the end of levels or trap you into a h4h lvel or some other spammy nonsense, but then again mabie im just being a clyve here (lbp 2 stry character puns ftw!) if so when i finish my level we should start a sepperete ORGANISED thread about eveyone linking together. i will be willing to get the word around a tad, it makes me think its a creators union!
