The Dark Age(Added a new puzzle part)

Archive: 18 posts


Level: The Dark Age
PSN: Stabbz
Location:North Africa

Concept: Well the first thought I had when I tried making this level was that I wanted to have several bosses and minibosses. Atm there is 2 minibosses and 1 big boss at the end. So this level is focused on creature fighting the most. Have used no finished object made it all myself. Took me about 12-18 hours to finish this level.

Story: Well the tyrant Drake has been agonizing his people for too long. You as a sackboy has settled to bring a revolution to your home country. You take him on headon and are settled to set your country free. But his soldiers, traps and monsters stand in the way. You will have to defeat them first before you are able to find him for a final showdown. But Drake is no childsplay, he has a mount as a stead. A dragon. It will be a difficult challange.

Wow! That was really a delight to play. I love the entire dark atmosphere and platforming elements. The final boss was a bit tricky as I died on the first try and wasn't entirely sure where to shoot, but I got it my second go.

I think you could add some puzzles to the level, but other than that, 5 stars.

Thanks! I appreciate it. The level is at 97%, but I guess one measy little puzzle wouldnt hurt . And I know its hard to see in the light it is in now. Need to make it more visible.

Heh I know I'm nitpicking, but it's "En garde!" not "Angarde!" (referring to the last picture, french for on guard)
I'll check out the level as soon as I get my connection back on my PS3 it looks pretty cool!

Especially your custom made baddies looked and acted great, and the final boss was beautiful! The dark atmosphere worked well too. I gave it 5 stars and hearted it

Played last night and it was very original! Just one comment though, when I fell into the "pit" I was able to get under the skeleton without dying and got stuck there, otherwise, very good, the boss was very well done!2008-12-30 14:49:00

Thank you! Now that I think about it I have also gotten stuck under there once or twice. Gonna take a look if I can come up with a fix for it.

Awesome job.

What the hell! I have been changing the level but it hasnt been saved. It jumps right back on the old build when I restart the game! This **** is irritating I made it much better. 2 hours work for nothing... Anyone know what could be the problem?2008-12-30 22:04:00

The dreaded 1.07 patch glitch I'm guessing. A lot of people have been getting reverted back when they play story mode levels or when they're creating they're own levels. It sucks.

Well that just sucks... might take a brake from lbp and just play online levels if thats the case. Might get back to Resistance 2. Never finished it anyways. But is there a fix for it?

I found this level to be amazing. I can't think of much to complain about really.

The hook thing you grab onto to get up a certain section can get stuck for a few seconds in that little cavern with the gas. It looks like it's about to break, but it doesn't. I dunno, it just worries me a bit when I see things like that.

I really loved the last boss, but making the place to take cover, and when to take cover so obvious kinda takes away from the challenge. Maybe that's just me.

Other than those things, I can't think of any other problems. Really good job!

Pros

- Atmosphere was good

- I'm a sucker for bosses, so naturally I loved all the bosses.

- Music fit the situation

- I'm a magic door! Dispel me!

- Iron gate was fun, though perhaps too short.

Cons

- Drake's dragon was too easy. I say do away with the light and instead make the attacks possible to avoid.

- I wasn't in the top ten.

Overall a great level.

Thank you! yeah the hook has its own mind. Don't really understand why it happens, but I can look into it. But its really funny that some people think the dragon is difficult. When I added that sign more people finished the level somehow. But I agree with you fully on that one.

Thank you glad you liked it

Thank you mate! I will take a look at changing the attack pattern on the dragon so its avoidable. I added the cover sign and the light due to people was complaining how hard it was. But will do my best so I can take both of them away.
