I have this idea in mind, and i think it may be good. Its just a platformer, no story, just someone using time to get past puzzles and overcome danger. Basically, you go back in time, change something, or two, that effects the present. If i can put lots of thought and work, i think it could be good, what do you think?

If i can put lots of thought and work, i think it could be good, what do you think?I had been thinking of something similar, for a level based on TimeShift... But I didn't get very far in my thought process because of my current Crysis project. but let me know if you get any good ideas for time manipulation.

just curious, are you thinking of something along the lines of braid? something like that would be easier than making a simulation of what would happen (aka a fast foreward)

I dont know what braid is . But, yes i made something where it changes the lighting for effect. Basically Im just emitting and destroying stuff pending on what it is, present or past. At first i was thinking emit/destroy each room, but that would be too much, so im emitting/destroying the objects, and adding effects to it.

That's a very cool idea you have there. You mean like direct time manipulation like Braid's rewinding/slowing down or situations in which you restore old and broken items to the state they where in the past, like Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands?

Check out Evret's stage Time To Rewind (http://lbp.me/v/zsnfdf) to see some gameplay ideas 'similar' to what Braid does. It's a great concept and could definitely be expanded on.

I have seen Evret's level, and its awesome, but my idea is different, its more like what snipysev described it. Also, is there already a level like this? i dont want to republish an already made idea.

Time Traveler? I have this idea in mind, and i think it may be good. Its just a platformer, no story, just someone using time to get past puzzles and overcome danger. Basically, you go back in time, change something, or two, that effects the present. If i can put lots of thought and work, i think it could be good, what do you think? Hmm this seems like a good idea, you can do a lot of cool ideas, I will play this level when it is published

So you're going with the "bridge has crumbled, go back to an era when it's still standing" approach to time travel? The concept crossed my mind once but I'm not much of a logic beast so I instantly scratched it as a level idea. I still dont know what braid it though... can anyone explain? XD It's a 2D indie platformer game available for download on Steam/XBLA/PSN. It's kinda short (2-3 hours tops) but it's very artsy, fun, original and the puzzles are really mind-boggling. You can use several time-manipulation techniques throughout the level, such as directly rewinding time, putting down a ring that warps the flow of time (the things go slower when closer to the ring and start regaining their original speed when further from it), levels whose timeline flows backwards when walking to the left and forward when walking to the right, separating the shadow from your body after rewinding time so the shadow goes to do what you would have done if your didn't rewind, etc. It's really cheap right now so it's a very rewarding purchase.

So, no level like this? i hope not, because i want it to be at least somewhat original

I would like to see what braid is like... The title doesnt seem too promising lol

From what i saw... its nothing like this LOL. Also, its not rewinding, its going to the past and changing it. If it were rewinding, it would be exactly like evret's level.
