Dragons Den / pics inside

Archive: 14 posts


I just posted my second level "Dragons den" It takes place in a dark temple and you have to navigate your way around many traps and obstacles, half on foot half on a jet pack. if you manage to make it past the dragon chasing you, you get to kill it in an "epic" battle at the end! if you get some free time try the level out, i have put about 40+ hours into it so far and i think it pretty good. any feedback would be appreciated.

This looks REALLY good. It would be pretty cool to see a "daytime" sequel as well!2008-11-18 02:52:00

A daytime sequel is a major possibility! near the end I started thinking of making it a series, I will have to figure out something even bigger and better. I'm already loosing sleep thinking of my next creations lol. LBP makes work and sleep very difficult.2008-11-18 03:21:00

I really liked it ^_^.

I had two issues in that at the start with the platforms that retract as you approach them, i fell down the middle of one while walking across and got stuck at the bottom of the level, and also i think the cat was a little too small for the final boss battle. If you made the Cat bigger for the end, i think people trying to do your level without dying would have a much easier time, as i did get blew up a few times quite strangely...

One other thing, maybe you should alter the title a little. Its the same as the entrepreneurial show as your probably know, and that might be putting people off slightly. Maybe the Dragon's Dungeon?

On the positive side, nearly everything was well executed, and i especially liked the lighting sequence with the spotlines meeting in the centre, above a switch you but the cat down on. Maybe you could use more of those kind of set pieces, as it seemed slightly "Light, bloodstain, light, bloodstain" in parts.

I gave the level 5/5 and hearted it, it was extremely good. And sorry for focusing on the bad areas, but if i focused on the good, i'd be here all day ^_^.

Thanks for the great level

It was really fun, and well made, but the formula seems to be very similar to the Azure Palace. Jetpacks everywhere, pick up a key to make it through certain sections, get chased by the dragon shooting stuff at you, then finish off the dragon by using a different key to kill it, piece by piece. Still fun though.2008-11-22 20:02:00

sorry for the delay on the reply's! just moved into my new apartment and don't have the interwebs yet.

To frozenNeon: I apreciate the feedback, and i am glad that you focused on that bad areas so now i can fix those problems. I started fixing some of the issues you mentioned (especially the lighting), and I am gonna mess around with the boss allot, it needs to flow a bit better, and with less self detonation.

To Cloud: I am glad you liked the level, and yea it is alot like the azure palace, but I didn't actually play that level till after the chase seen (i did get the idea for the boss seen from him though) unfortunately the jetpacks are the only efficient way to carry an item through a level

Thanks for the feedback!
