Midnight Train remake?

Archive: 2 posts


I'm very satisfied with how Midnight Revenge turned out, and keep being amazed that so many people like it. Normally I would continue with my SackMech II project, but the success of Midnight Revenge got me thinking about an early successful level of mine: Midnight Train.

The idea of Midnight Revenge was to be a sequel to Midnight Train (hence the 50% identical name), but unfortunately I had to lock Midnight Train as LBP1-only because parts of the level didn't work right in LBP2. Now, I could make an LBP2-friendly version of the level by fixing the couple of bugs, but the fact is that the level was made back in 2008, and to say it looks dated now is an understatement (see vid). Since then I've gained a world of knowledge on layers, thermometer use, logic, visuals and gameplay. Looking back on my early levels (with anything other than nostalgia glasses) tends to make me cringe.

That's why I've been thinking of rebuilding Midnight Train from the ground up, using everything I've learned and the new LBP2 tools. I would keep the basic concept of the level but I would try to come up with better gameplay, better visuals, and an overall better experience for the players (something I wasn't even remotely considering when I originally made the level, hence some of the bad design choices it had). I would probably try to expand on the story more too, to make it interesting and memorable.

So I was wondering how many people would be interested in this and think it's a good idea?
