Archive: 3 posts


My 2nd real level (4th level if you count tests).

I hope that whoever plays this level likes it, it's my second level.
Any feedback you give, I will spring on it! I would really like to improve my creating skills, so it would be great to get a little feedback.

****I recently updated Sackotron. Now many of these screenshots are outdated--but Sackotron now looks even better!

It started off promising, but to be honest, hopping over fire has been done so many times before that I'm afraid not many players will find it stimulating. Especially when the fire is on a platform slanting upwards; that's just annoying.

There's not a lot of content in the level. It's anticlimactic when you reach the sackotron at the end and nothing happens. No story, no boss fight, no movie sequence to reward the player's efforts.

And, although it's true that visuals aren't as important as gameplay, you could consider improving the visuals, too. For instance, the moving platform shaped like an arch--you just used a default shape there. I know I'm not the best person to be giving advice in this area because I could stand to improve myself.

This was honestly how I felt. I hope you're not discouraged. Keep creating and you'll get better and better! One thing I've been doing lately is to play old console games from the NES era, many which are platformers, paying close attention to what the designers have done to create a unique challenge. Sometimes I'll "lift" these ideas and put them in my own levels, adding my own touches.

All right! I edited and republished the Sackotron level, and have added loads of stickers and some cool new materials. There's also a boss fight and no more slanted fire hazards on the race part. Hopefully this fixes most of the things that you didn't like about this level.2011-03-02 02:10:00
