The Great Escape - Da Vinci's Hideout - Mm attempt - Demo

Archive: 12 posts


EDIT:
I did a bit of updating to the level regarding additional story, added elements at the book/bridge bashing section, and a little bit of lighting changes. I also added some minor details here and there.

If you have already tested my level, go and try it again and let me know if the changes to the level and dialog are a little better.

I have decided to remove the king from the first section completely and probably stick him into the final level. I will probably have davinci talk to you as he normally would and maybe have a spider drop from above telling you that davinci is not what hes cracked up to be and that the king would like you to return to LBP1 or something. That way you will get more of whats going on right at the start rather than randomly having the king just sitting there.

Like I said, if you have already played it, try it again and provide updated feedback! Still many more changes to come!

Thanks,

Hi All!

I am new to this community!

I need some help with my level attempt to get Mm picked! I would like you to give it a go and please leave comments good/bad to help me improve on the level. My goal is to get the level Mm picked, but I am having troubles getting it noticed in the "new levels" section of the game!

Please give me your comments to help me improve, or let me know I am on the right track!

Keep in mind that the level is only ~65% complete.

Your level was certainly a good one. I guess your taking your time to make a really good level in the end. Although I think it's not Mm PIck worty just yet, but your certainly on the right track! Glad I played this level.2011-07-19 04:39:00

Thanks for the feedback. After listening to some peoples comments, I do admit it may seem a little random. I will probably make the start of the level a little different rather than the king talking to you straight away...

There are a few other things that just seem to randomly happen. I will need to try to add details on why things happened.

Thanks for playing and the comments. I appreciate it!

Hi

Just played your level and its clear that you've tried to get it very polished!

I absolutely loved the spider games, they were great!!! Especially the first one, the level needs more like this in my opinion!!
Nice use of decoration with spider webs etc, would maybe do more by having scary spiders at the start of the level that shoot off as soon as they enter the screen, would look cool and give the next section more context!

Ideas to improve the game:
- The book bit was a bit weird as the sackboy just teleports quite a big distance. Would be cook if you could make it a cutscene so you can see sackboy climbing up
- Not enough hidden points, they are all very easy to find
- You've clearly spent a lot of time making spiders and parts for your level, why not put a few prize bubbles in
- On the elevator down why not put point bubbles so you have to run from side to side to get them as the elevator goes down, bit more fun than just standing there

Hope this helps, thanks for your comment on my snake level

Wow, thanks for the feedback!

I really do appreciate all constructive criticism and ideas to improve on my level. I haven't added very many prize and points bubbles to the level as I typically wait till last to put them in. I do agree that the book section is a little wierd. I have an idea for that room that will totally change away from the book. I will definately take a look at how the level starts out and see if I can elaborate on the story of the level a little more. I also like to wait until last to add many details like windows, objects, etc... to the level. I've also heard complains of the 'dark' sections being a little too dark. I apoligize as the dark sections look great on my tv, but may not on yours. I will make some changes.

I am also glad that you mentioned that maybe I should bring the spiders into the level a little earlier. I think that is a good idea as when I created those 2 spiders that you grab that lower you down, my vision of the level shifted...(if you couldn't tell) lol.

Thanks again.

I engourage all who haven't tried it yet to give it a go and make suggestions for me to improve.
