[Beta] The Ancient Cave of New Beh'Ta (Beta-mm pick)

Archive: 10 posts


I got more and more and more and more pm's, mails and what not asking me about "the ancient cave of beh ta" and the rest of the series.
People even commented on my lbp2 profile explaining me how to import the levels.

But since a lot of people are demaning the levels,
and I was quite proud of them back in the Beh'Ta.. I mean back in the beta.
Since they are Beta imports I am not gonna spend a lot of time talking about the levels.
Another reason I am publishing them is because I am atm working on a game (for lbp2) that will take at least another month/two months before its really finished.

MM comment on level:

With all the improvements made to lBP2 and amazing possibilities opened up to designers It is good to see a level that stays true to the LBP traditions while at the same time using the new tools to take the game play and visuals to a whole new level e.g. the use of Sackbots and cut scene cameras to add another level of depth and atmosphere. The way score triggers are used to give rewards to players add another level of game play and replay ability. We like to joke a lot in the QA room about the all important 'art pass' and this level is a great example of an art pass done well. At times it stresses the performance of the game to the limit but it’s worth it to have visuals this good. Finally no LBP level is complete without a good puzzle, this level has three, all of which will tease your brain. Enjoy! Enjoy!

The review I left on the level itself shows my feelings about it, so there's no real need for me to state it here again, but I totally loved seeing that you used a photo I took of the secret area in your original post! 2011-02-17 18:03:00

Yea, another reason why I love lbpc.
I dont need to make the images myself, I can use images from others
And the image showed that there are secrets.. which adds to the mysteriousness

Also shows the area I was at before I had to restart because the Sackbot gets stuck in that secret area. But the level is awesome, so it didn't bother me having to do that. 2011-02-17 20:32:00

Luos, I loved this!

The visuals were as amazing, as awesome, as slick and as inventive as the gameplay. I can't stress how much I like those visuals and the gameplay is friggin' awesome and everything is just.... amazing!

Same for the sequel.

LBP2 has just become full of top-downs and movies as OmegaSlayer stated. This is a great breath of fresh air for an oxygen-starved thug. Or a depressed 'my hamster died' child. Or a very enthusiastic grown-up. Or whoever. This is awesome.

It seemed to get stuck on the wall just to the right of it in the image of it in the first post. No matter what I did it wouldn't swap layers, it would just run to the wall and remain there on the front layer, instead of moving back a layer to come out. It was trying to come forward, but it was just pushing into the wall and nothing else, and no matter what I did it wouldn't come out. I did try getting into the area using the Grabinators so I could pick him up and carry him off the layer, but the remove power-up gate stopped me using them. Perhaps it's just something that can happen from time to time or I was just really unlucky. I'll test that part out again and see what happens and if there might be a certain thing that caused it to get stuck on the front layer.

Practice, practice, practice and dont just play good looking levels.
take it apart with the sticker tool, draw down shapes, count corners even if needed.

Poor cat!

Dropkicks the cat back over the fence


Ah! Hot potato! *Kicks it back*

I don't want that cat! He sat in front of my TV when I was playing Corridors of Madness! It made the Corridors even more mad....
