Switch 2 {Video and Pics Inside)

Archive: 31 posts


I decided to put Medievil on hold for now due to inexperiance with sackbots. So I was looking at my level page and noticed my level Switch with 49 playsand good hearts, reviews etc so now im better than I was then ive decided to make a second one. It was baically a platformer with no meaning just switches but I may implement story into it. What do you think?2011-05-19 17:02:00

Once ive finished my level ill put it in level showcase but for now ill just post my proggress, I decided on a story, of sorts but its difficult to explain really. Its just a computerised voice telling you what stuff is and says things regarding the areas. It will be a problem solving platformer and Im unsure how hard the problems will be to solve for you guys. Anyway here are 3 pictures of the level so far.

Im not trying to sound rude but im putting a lot of work and thought into this level and I would appreciate if people replied to my thread and told me what they thought. Most of my levels dont get a lot of plays and I REALLY want this one to do well, because I know it has potencial. Sorry but it is just so annoying its like nobody cares. .2011-05-23 16:57:00

Hi Craig,

just played your level switch as you had my level queued up..
Thought you had some good ideas in there and it was certainly colourful!

I appreciate the time and effort we all put in to making these levels, so dont feel like no-one cares..
~Theres over 4 million levels published now, most of which are toilet to say the least and since the psn came back online LBP has gone crazy!

I'm looking forward to your switch 2 level, so keep creating and let me know when its ready for play and feedback.

cheers.

I have implemented a true story at one part but im unsure whether that will ruin it or make it better. I am still not near finishing but I am half-way through it. I look forward to seeing how it will do when published.2011-05-28 10:53:00

If you do include a story, I wouldn't make it the focus of the level, as it sounds more like the puzzles are what the focus is, and if the story is too focused it might take away from that. I've played levels before that focus mostly on puzzles and they never had a story, mostly those by Vandz, and they work great because you're concentrating on the puzzles he makes, and not a storyline. Of course each to their own and your story might work with it, but that's my initial thought of a story in a level that presumably didn't have a story in the original. 2011-05-28 13:13:00

Im at a bit of a standstill currently. I dont know what to do next. It should be out soonish but im not sure. Hopefully people are actually looking forward to my levels, thanks to all those who gave me support. And still are. And again the video is by Alismuffin who is amazing at video intros.2011-05-31 18:10:00

Standstill has been worked by--Mt little brother rated it 9.5/10

Craigmond Studios called it "A sensational roller coaster which will change the face of LBP2"

I say its "Nearly Finished"

So yeah its almost done, still lots to do but it will be out soon, I have the icon ill put it up here soon, iv got more pics which will be up here soon too and hopefully a trailer.
It is definatley my best and the story has a huge im pact then it eases off a bit so you can enjoy the simple easy platforming.

Well as SWITCH2 nears completion, anxiousness fills my body (plays) and what people will think of it. So I rely on people mostly here to get it onto the tracks and for feedback. I am at the end part and it will be finished shortly.2011-06-21 16:39:00

The video makes it look good, but the pic don't seem so promising, I think it might come out better, if you add hidden traps, animations, and maybe a custom checkpoint made of stickers adding to the theme. 2011-06-25 13:29:00

Ive brushed it up, Ill upload more pictures but it is undergoing more work. I though I was going to finish soon but I decided against it and Im glad I did because the newer areas are better. Im mabye going to add bubbles and as for the pictures there, most of them are earlier pictures. This is meant to be a platformer rather than a puzzler now. I will upload pictures shortly but I can promise you, I have a good feeling about this level and even though the pics do no good it feels better to play.2011-06-27 13:14:00

Despite the pictures you've uploaded, it proves you are certainly putting effort and determination into this level. When I have a good chance to play it, I'm sure to give a review. Looking forward to this level. ^^2011-07-18 18:47:00

It was nice (from what I saw, I then got an Invite), but it needs a bit more scenery and theming. Also, do you use the Grid Snap? It helps to make neat and tidy levels (if you didn't.)
Otherwise, I enjoyed it.
