This is not an advertisement thread, but how come some levels get all of plays while others don't?

Well... maybe they posted their level in the Level Showcase or even on a few other fan sites as well. Some are because as a creator gets really good and gains hearts, those that like their work, notice and play those levels. Some others are because they just got a Community Spotlight here on LBPC which is now picked up by Mm and reported online. Some levels are just so good that word travels by players as well as their recent activity on LBP.me. For example.. sometimes I find out about cool levels just because I notice someone I have great respect for as a creator or a good friend recently played, hearted, and left some great comments on a level. ...but then there are the spammy awful ones that seem to do well and play in that wasteland area some call "the cool pages". Those I really pay no attention to. I tend to pay more attention to what comes out of the LBPC Community Spotlights and what my friends like.

I think there are too many factors to really give you an exact answer. But I'd say there are 3 main reasons for levels being popular, or being ignored. Quality of the level, target audience, and publicity. And if you want a fourth factor - creator following. Users who are already well recieved have made it through the... barrier of sorts, that other creators still face. Half-hearted levels, levels that only intrigue a niche audience or levels that were never advertised are most likely to be overlooked. At least that's how I see things anyways.

Yep. It really varies. It could be advertising issues. Not a lot of people use the wonderful opportunity to post their work in the forums. Of course, still a large number of people do that. It could be specifics such as the name or description. They could be vague or unoriginal, and the level may be categorized with many of its kind, making it hard to find. Or, it's just dumb luck. If you've looked and the Crud Pages, the majority of creators with a large amount of plays and hearts publish half-butt crud and get loads of attention. Positive attention, at that. There's still those people who dislike it, but for some awkward reason, the majority of the players liked it. I'm guessing it's due to the horrible practice of H4H and stuff like that. People get a ton of eyes and supporters through this method. There are loads of them in LBP, so it's a quick solution to tons of plays. Also tons of hearts. Not to mention tons of hate. But they don't care, do they? They just like the attention. Whether they be famous or infamous. It's still attention. I think the community is very close knit. I think the players of LBP depend on each other to get their voices and thoughts across. We all draw from and contribute to our community. It's like a big system, and we all work together to sustain its health. However, there are those slackers who let all the others do the work for them. There are enough players to go around, so why not just cut loose and let the plays come to you? You can just deceive so many of the players into supporting your fame. Those are the players that destroy us. Their work is big, and it does big damage to the community. They hog the spotlight, and our ideas are pushed away. Now, there's no real filter to the Cool Pages, so they aren't stopped. It's like we're a big computer, and our firewall is down. The viruses just come strolling in. Hello neighbor! And when we do notice them, it's too late. They've already increased in power, size, and popularity. They multiply quickly by copying and publishing effortless two-second work. The community is absolutely massive, so it has to be a pain to try and watch over it all. No one can really play as the omnipresent guard, stopping any crud that comes our way. It's like an ant trying to dodge every drop of rain during a storm. However, it isn't impossible. We just need to get our act straight and snap out of it. The game is still fun. The good stuff is just hiding. You only have to look.

Yup... all of the above. 2 great ways to get plays: 1. Build quality levels, get known by other creators and participate in fan sites.... when initially publishing a level hopefully many will play it, heart and happy face it, so it pushes up cool pages. If it has mass appeal and doesn't frustrate the kiddies it will continue to get decent ratings on cool pages and pick up many plays. or... 2. Find about 5 or 6 copyable, unoriginal, and kiddie-addictive levels (preferably with sharks, bombs, or free costumes). Then, continually publish them at the same time, deleting the older ones and republishing them as they fall off cool pages and rack up tons and tons of hearts and plays.

I see how to get plays now. I am asking because I was unpopular. I once published this one level that after three months, it only had one play total. No hearts, no likes, and no reviews. The worst part about it is that I worked hard on that level. It took me two weeks to make, and nobody really wanted to play it. I eventually deleted this level because of the poor statistics.

One thing that can REALLY help, especially on this site. Prepare a really nice showcase thread with photos... and use F4F (feedback-for-feedback). Then, publish your level and give feedback to as many levels on the showcase thread marked as F4F as you can. These creators will then play your level and give you feedback. This can make a big difference because let's say the creator who's level you give feedback on likes your level - they may heart, happy face, and comment on your level. Let's say other creators, who could be uber-popular, see them play it on LBP.ME and give it a go. This process can build up momentum and result in many quality plays.... also, just creating a showcase thread puts you in the running for a community spotlight - which would generate hundreds more quality plays.

To be honest, you don't want plays. You want feedback. That is what helps you become a better creator. The F4F (feedback for feedback) system here is very good at doing just that, but first you need to post a thread in the Level Showcase. It can all start there.. ..and hate to say it, but some of the really good levels have taken creators several months to create, not just a few weeks.

And maybe it's the feedback I want, but my main goal is to get Mm Picked. Right now, I don't have any levels published that are good enough for that.

Why do some people have more money than others? Possibility nr 1: they got lucky Possibility nr 2: they worked really hard for it Possibility nr 3: they got lucky AND worked really hard for it.

... Possibility nr 4: they cheat ... Well I think some people which get on the cool pages have so many accounts as possible and play the level as fast as possible and change account so fast as possible. Not that I use this

You must be kidding I don't see many other ways to "cheat" getting plays that how Seveni_7 said. You can't just choose how many plays you get. Unless you know something I don't.

I don't see many other ways to "cheat" getting plays that how Seveni_7 said. You can't just choose how many plays you get. Unless you know something I don't. What Seveni_7 said, plus the H4H, plus a copying ... It doesn't matter how many methods there are, the point is that there are ways, and these ways are used a lot. We see it every day, and a few days ago we had "trending levels" spamming too. Even that is no longer safe.

Lets put it this way- It doesn't matter how many plays your level has, its how many LBPCers have played your level that counts. And the way to get those plays up are by advertising here on the site, participating in LBPC contests, being active on the forums, etc.

Coping alone and H4H does not have much effect, when you seen last H4H level on cool pages?

Coping alone and H4H does not have much effect, when you seen last H4H level on cool pages? Are you trying to say that nobody in the LBP cheats to get more plays ? Really ? I think such place calls Disneyland, not LBP, if so. H4H alone is not my point, any cheating is. In this moment, there are 2 such (cheating) levels in first 10 on cool levels.

2012-03-11 10:01:00 Author: goranilic Posts: 332

I now see that cheating will help get more plays. However, I'm one of those people who are looking forward to get Mm Picked and the secret pin of Mm Picks. The question is, how many people that got their levels on the Mm Picks cheated? I say none.

2012-03-11 22:50:00 Author: Apple2012 Posts: 1408

Of course none. Cheating is not proposal, mentioned it just for the record and statistics.

Ok for real :> As i said before, it's exacly like YouTube, it all depends mix build on popularity, quality, exposiar and luck Popularity - Creators who got exposed and are popular will be always popular, like steve_big_guns, comphermc and so on, like all those high subscribers content creatrs on you tube. But this also fits hated people too, like Sthephane Raves or Latin_Player_10, people hate them but they like watch closly what they doing and what they have to say just to hate them more... same as in YouTube Quality - Good qulity level have have which chance to be popular, but not always the chance, some make good level and don't have much plays, still they getting loyal fans that like them it's so called cult funbase.... saem as YouTube Exposiore - lot of people throw level to server and wait for wonders.... but this is not how it works, no body will play level not knowing it's existence you need to adrvitise it, for example by posting on LBPC or twitter to know community characters, try to lure them in with bait in form of screens to show that level is worth there time. SAme goes with YouTube, your videos made by avrage home video maker don't cross 100 views if you don't post it anywhere else. Luck - that somebody will find you and expose you... in other words to be blessed power that creates memes, cool pages system does not allow to do that in like in YouTube for old levels but with new you have a chance, also levels can be mmpick even after half year.... so yeah In general is the same fo every artistic scene there uber populat things, overhype things, hidden gems, cult stuff, it's can be brutal and most LBP community don't understand it and they complain about to level that whole LBP talk obits around it and you stard to puke when you hear it too much, but compered to YouTube, LBP is heaven

I'm lacking popularity,My level's are geting better.In some ways i fill like its a bad thing to Advertis what i make.I fill like people will start talking about me in a bad way. I'v all ways thought that it was better to let your level get popular on its own.Let it run its corse.But it seems like when people Advertis on forums then they get Popular. I'd like to be nown for something in a good way rather than have people be like...omg did you see what harty did he Advertis's :o hes hoging all the popularity .Lets go hat every thing he makes. Funny thing is...My level's get more hearts than my profile....I guess people like my levels more than they like me hahaha c: And i make music or remix's....,Mabe get my name out there that way,A lot of people seem to like the music.I haven't really advertised the level cose...Well i didn't think it would go any were lol.

Well... posting your level in the Level Showcase is important. Yes it is like advertising, but better there than spamming someone's level comments. For one, it lets folks here at LBPC see that you have a new level or one named such and such is out there. It also is brought up via the My Creations link under your avatar on every post. However if you do post your level, It helps to put a great decription as well as some great photos of your level to help not only promote it, but get others interested in it. Nothing worse to see a level thread say as the title, "Play my level". The only description is.. "Yeah.. made a new level.. try it out". The other thing is not really to get plays, but to get FEEDBACK. Plays by themselves really mean nothing If you take advantage of the F4F system (feedback for feedback) and go play lots of other F4F levels, leaving them all great constructive criticism, then say which level of yours to honor their F4F commitment, you can get quite a bit of feedback to help you improve as a creator. That is what is important. ...not plays or hearts. Hearts are more the "Oh wow.. that is amazing" icing on the cake that you can get once you really get good at creating fun games and levels.

I'v only posted one level in the showcase and it was for the contest...Lol I do post level link things below my post but i never thought of that as advertising...I don't have a probblem with advertising im just worryed on how people will think of me like...if i was to become popular from a level and people some may be like oh hes shamless cose he desired popularity...Yeas id like to be on the cool pages ones just one's thats all...

Don't misunderstand me popularity is only one reason why people get plays ;] Known creators are not known from first level, you need some petients and don't expect for big successes right away. Adrvitise your level anywhere you can and faastest as you can(and not annoy other people by it), post pictures, thats what attract people the most

Far from being cool. I look more towards what my friends and hearted creators play. Well.. to figure out how you are as a creator, use the tools! The Level Showcase is one of such tool we have here at LBPC for creators. Getting feedback is invaluable. You really haven't and you have been a member since July 2011? wow.. Much better stuff going on in the Level Showcase than there will ever be in the cool pages.

Well you can get faster cool pages then mmpick and you will have near same effect, considering mmpicks are now delivered in packs and plays are spread accross them all and drop of interest in LBP2, my 1.06 feature showcase got more plays then current top mmpicks.... even if you aim for mmpick you still need to use same methods, people need to know about your level to be mmpicked and cool pages most effective way to do that ;p Also don't think about getting mmpick, think about level and how to make it unforgettable experience :> leave adrvitisment when you as last thing you do with the level before publish and have patient, level won't explode if you work on it more

Sorry if that sounds off-topic, but that is my number one goal of LBP2. Well.. a lofty goal, so good luck! Personally, I would try for getting an LBPC Spotlight. They play EVERY level posted in the Level Showcase and to be honest there are some that are spotlighted here on LBPC that are just as good if not better than what has been given an Mm pick.

I thought you had to be on the cool pages befor being an Mm picked? What is LBPC Spotlight?

2012-03-16 18:39:00 Author: Lbphart3 Posts: 813

No you don't have to be on cool pages to be MM picked. LBPC Spotlight is where the Spotlight crew plays all the levels that are posted in the Level Showcase section. They then meet and discuss the levels and then vote for which ones will be spotlighted.

I thought you had to be on the cool pages befor being an Mm picked? What is LBPC Spotlight? No...not at all, the Mm folks simply have to be aware of it, play it, and think it worthy. What is an LBPC Spotlight? You must be joking!!! It is simply the best of the best from our very own community here at LBPC. Everything put into the level showcase is played and considered by our very own spotlight team. If they find it above their standards... it gets Spotlighted. Ever two weeks, they play all the levels that have been posted and create a new list of amazing levels to share with the LBPC Community. We are now on number 80. http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/content.php?220-community-spotlights

i started out really unpopular but its taken me 3 years to become an "known creator". i used a source that people recognised so i created the 10 level doctor who level pack that really got me into the spot light but that was only 4 months ago. that was just word of mouth to my friends and posting level trailers that looked interesting to watch and gave a general feel to my levels. this made my titanic levels more popular as i had more friends to tell and i was easily recognised more. just spread the word. make quality levels that look amazing. usually a big level that looks mm pick worthy and just post and advertise everything

Well i don't have hardly any friends and im doing just fine,It just it just depends on how well your level is,And how long you work on it to make it worth reaching the cool pages. But unlike some free levels are geting on the cool pages I may go make a fancy free piece of junk to reach the cool pages Mabe ill just get phamous that way Whos with me I'm working on music to,to get my name out there.

Ok, I just published Glowing Ice and posted the topic on the level showcase forum on feedback for feedback. Although I tried it, I still only got two plays today. Am I the most ignored creator on Little Big Planet?

Am I the most ignored creator on Little Big Planet? No.. not ignored.. you just need to work at it a bit. It takes more than just implementing F4F on a level thread, you really have to be proactive. Go and play OTHER F4F levels in the Level Showcase and leave detailed helpful feedback. Especially if you find any F4F levels of creators that you really respect and enjoy their creations. Then after leaving them feedback (i.e. not just "nice level") tell them which of your levels you want them to honor their F4F commitment. Do that a bunch!!! Not just one or two times. That is how you make it work. ...and you really want feedback not plays. Feedback is what will help you get better as a creator. The other thing I noticed is you simply plopped a link to your pics. Use the Insert Image tool or insert image tags around those links so others can see your pics right off. Good luck!

That's what I'm going for. And since you told me what to do, I added some showcase levels to the queue. I'll promise to do what you say.

I played a few levels in the showcase and reviewed them, even for the non F4F levels. Now my other factor I should focus on is patience. Before I ever joined LBPC, I published this level that took me days to complete, and it only got one play after three months. No hearts, no likes, and no feedback, and this lasted for three months. I felt like I was really ignored, as the outcome of hard work was an ignored level. I deleted it for being unsuccessful, and I was hoping I do not publish another level with very bad statistics. And by the way, I really get it that it's feedback that is required rather than plays, but I don't want the same reminders over and over again.

It is how you can build a network of friends and fellow creators to help each other get better. https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=7962-Feedback-For-Feedback
