"Symphony of Dissonance"

Archive: 26 posts


Finally, my long awaited new level after the fairly well recieved "Resident Raytech"... well, awaited by me to release it anyway, is finally here!!! It's a platformer with variety. In short, it's complete with many different elements wrapped up into one complete package delivered in a cinematic asthetic which I do hope you will enjoy. Here is the level description:

"Beautiful. Inviting. Tranquil. Pristine... Or is it? What truley lurks with the depths of this slice of deceptively perfect paradise? Find out within... the adventure awaits."

I really do hope you all enjoy it and please leave me some nice feedback if you enjoyed it either here or within the game itself. Here's a video of it below courteousy JHKthree. Thank you very much. LFiers....

Man. Those are the best mechanics I've seen in awhile. One thing I found was an error. If you go to the second segment where you grab the sponges to make the platforms fly around and stop, it is possible to fall off of the first one and hug the wall to the left. You should end up under the level and in the water.

Thank you very much. First off I am glad you felt that way, I love creation and video game design in general so I went all out to better my first real level which is "Resident Raytech" (check that out if you get the chance too) and you saying those good words only assures me that I have done a good job so thanks. Special thanks for letting me know about that error though. Its all fixed up now thanks to you.

Yeah, anytime. I've already played Resident Raytech. I thought it was really good! I'm liking your overall style as well. You've earned my respect with unique obstacles.

I just recently played this level. Here is my take on it.

Overall design was nicely done.
Gameplay was fun although a bit challenging at times.
I really liked the platforming techniques you used. Some unique stuff that I did not see before.
A slight down note to me was that some of the cut scenes seemed to go a bit too fast. A few times I could not see what the contraptions were doing. Maybe it is me or maybe you wanted it that way.

Overall, great level.

A and a<3 and I left a review as well.

hey I played your level today and I'm lost for words!

I can only say that this is the level with the best mechanics i've seen so far in lbp2.
Your usage of logic is totally impressing and the whole design is very creative.
Deserves and needs to be MM picked.

Gimme more!!

[sorry about my poor english]

I've played your level a few hours ago, and loved it !

+ Difficulty is well ballanced, never too easy or too frustrating
+ Good level design and decorations
+ A lot of cool mechanics and puzzles (I really enjoyed the "pausing plateforms")

- I think i did where I was not supposed to die : during the last sequence in the big wheel, I died electrocuted when a "bumper" push the wheel. Don't know if it's normal.

Overall, exellent level, I really enjoyed it and will look at Resident Raytech

I played this level last night and thought it was absolutely magnificent. There were so many unique elements in this level and it just kept getting better. Great fun platformer. The camera work was good, the character actions were great. Thank-you for sharing it.2011-03-19 19:42:00

Hey LFiers! Ever since Dodgy Platforms, I've been waiting for your name to pop back up on the cool pages, and the other day, it finally did!

This level was awesome! It was like an organic resident raytech with all the emitter effects. I thought all the underwater obstacles were cool, especially because it's really hard to come up with good stuff for underwater platforming. Probably my favorite part of the whole level was the sound changing! It was awesome! This was the first level I played that actually utilized the sound modifying in a good way, it made you really feel underwater!

Great job! You have plenty of plays, hearts, and great reviews from great creators, and you deserve it!

Yeah that is a physics glitch where you somehow go through solid material... No, it's not supposed to happen but it does happen rarely. Thats a game engine issue of LBP and is out of my control. It happenens in LBP1 aswell. Luckily I solved it with instant respawn within the wheel. Thanks for letting me know though and I'm gald you enjoy it.

FINALLY! Someone mentioned this... You are the first to realise this (or atleast say it) but yes I felt like really giving the feeling of being underwater like your ears are clogged with it and you may have noticed that when you went into the large cave section where you golden platforms are that the sound also changes. It changes about 7 or 8 times through out the level and i've patched it up to work properly in multiplayer too now. Thanks for mentioning that and I'm happy that my level made you happy. XD P.S> I find it funny that when my level finally hits cool pages number 1 and gets ober 3000 plays in day I get hardly any comments here on LBPC but when Raytech only had like 100-200 in a few days I had like 10 comments already.

I thought the idea where you grabbed to stop the falling platforms was simple but great.2011-03-20 12:10:00

Wow this level was great! The obstacles were very unique and challenging, i was looking for something to give you feedback on, but there weren't any flaws that caught my eye...2011-03-20 17:54:00

That is an awesome level you made.

VISUALS:
The animation of the obstacles are tremendous, and the material choices are great. The cinematic sequence involving the guardian are clever and funny.

SOUND:
The music choices are great, and I liked how the sound changes when you go underwater (I did a same thing in "Cybernetic Adventures Alpha").

GAMEPLAY:
The obstacles are unique and challenging. You did a great job on the water, flaming wall bouncing pad, rocket movement, and rolling stone ride. I don't know if you did it on purpose or not, but the third falling platform ,that can be frozen in time, spins too fast because you must have some sort of a edge that makes the platform spin. Also, after I launched out of the rocket maze, I instantly got killed by a gas.

OVERALL:
This is a brilliant level. A yeah vote, a heart, and a positive review.

Hey Lfiers,

I had the opportunity to have a go at this level since it's been a while from your last creation. This is one outstanding level you have there. I can't imagine the amount of time and effort you put into creating and the ideas you had to come up with to make this Awesome level. I commend you for that. You are a true artist in your own right. You truly have set the bar. Keep up the great work.<3

Great level, most of all i liked the fun and new uses you made with all your little machines, which were also really well designed, looked epic and was really fun to play through. Pausing teh objects in mid air was one of the greatest things in the level, though sadly in two player you could stuff up the screen and it was really hard to see if you got the right spot (and who your playing with is really stubborn). You removed the watch as it moves then jump through it kind of style and gamplay. The water section was great, i think this was already metioned but, you used the sound mod really, really well. It gave that 'hey, i am i actully underwater, protect the PS3!' feel which was really good. The movies were just a little plain and looking at materials side on isn't so pretty, but the character was great, as well as the voice acting. The way you shot the score board in was amazing, and really fun to watch as the wheel thing-a-ma-bob spin around faster, faster and faster (Yay). Great level, though I had already played the level numerous times and yet its only now that I give you a comment (A LFiers level that i didnt comment on straight away, must be going mad). Loved the level, a heart and a yay for you my friend 2011-03-22 10:14:00

Sorry if it took a while for me to get to the f4f.

Your level was fun and never frustrating. I liked your occasional extreme camera angles, but they never got in the way of gameplay. The strongpoint of the level is definitely the gameplay itself, along with all the crazy contraptions. I know how much work goes into that kind of stuff. Great job! I can't think of anything to criticise. So.. yeah.. A smiley-face and heart for all your hard work.

Btw, I fixed my alien crab-thing & agreed with you on that. Thanks.

I loved the idea of the bunny ruining everything while you traveled along. Also, there was some great gameplay ideas in there too.

Loved it.
