Level of Recommendation


Paris for lovers (http://lbp.me/v/4yrt70)

StevenI:I don't even know where to begin praising this level! It is a pure aesethic delight throughout! The scenery, lighting effects and overall artistic design are perfection in a LittleBigPlanet level! This level isn't just an eye-pleaser though, far from it! There's plenty of incredible platforming gameplay to behold as well, whilst you travel across Paris' rooftops and admire all the visual delights that Tobsn08 has provided! Definitely a must play level for all![/quote]

dajdaj03:As a Parisian, I couldn't but love this level! Orginal and beautiful visual interpretation, great atmosphere and solid and fun gameplay! Great job Monsieur![/quote]

Morgana25: Beautifully styled levels. Loved the color and quirky nature of your buildings and lights! Great gameplay with big air and wonderful arcing swings. A pleasure to play. Thanks for another great experience![/quote]


Off-Air Interview

Mr.Sackfist:Ladies and gentlemen, here is the off-air interview with Verbal83. This is the questions we didn't get to ask on the show. Ok to start off we would like to know what levels have you co-created in LBP?

Verbal83:You know I have pretty much been a solo artist. I have yet to co create. Maybe at one point I could help someone out. I've always been creative in design. Not until recently have I begun to truly understand the logic aspect.

Mr.Sackfist:How long have you been playing LBP?

Verbal83:Almost from the beginning. I've always used it as a means of distraction. But, not until I came to understand the amazing tools LBP2 provide have I began to take my level creating seriously.

You made an MM Pick, as it was a motion comic, do you read comic books?
I read a few online comics, "Marroned"' "Atland" "Cleopatra in Space!"

I use to dabble in comic books when I was younger. Excalibur, was a mainstay for me for a while.

Mr.Sackfist:When creating, are there any tools that would make creating easier that you wish would be added to the game?

Verbal83:I'd like to see a way to import images, instead of having to use the Eyetoy to take pictures. making stickers would be much more easier. Unless there is a way of doing so, please let me know!

The other thing, which isn't a tool persay but, I wouldn't mind having some DLC Objects along with how we can buy sticker packs or costumes.

Mr.Sackfist:What game are you anticipating?

Verbal83:Well, with E3 happening right now I have to say I'm intrigued by the Wonderbook. Star Wars 1313 and of course LBP Karting.

Mr.Sackfist:Can you tell us your LBP History, for example the first level you ever built?

Verbal83:the first level was a platformer called The Forgotten Land. It's basically a story of your sack person coming in contact with a enchanted medallion that sends you to The Forgotten Land and help with world defeat a evil wizard type.

Mr.Sackfist:What was the worst creation you ever made?

Verbal83:I don't know if I've ever had a "Worst Creation". Looking back at The Forgotten Land, I'd say the game play was below average.

Mr.Sackfist:Moving back onto the comic, I notice there are extra features other than the chapters, for instance characters. What will these include and when will they be made?

Verbal83:Yeah, I was planning on having a level where you can see each characters bio and costume all packaged like a toy. That may still happen. I'm currently playing with the idea of creating a survival challenge to play off of Mastersons Adventure in Space Walking from the comic.'Im thinking that the prize give always could be some templates to create your own comic as well as some Conduit Flux items. I'd love to give away the Conduit Flux costumes but many if not all use some form of DLC.

Mr.Sackfist:How did you decide upon Flick and Lucas Masterson?

Verbal83:Well, Conduit Flux is "was" a comic I actually drew for some time. So the character designs where already there for me. I am very pleased that for the most part they are very close to their original design. Masterson definitely draws from Flash Gordon a lot. Flick is just something I drew one day while randomly coming up with concepts. When I looked at him the name FLICK just popped into my head. Masterson is actually named after Goerge Lucas and my former Little League coach Mr. Masterson

Mr.Sackfist:What are your thoughts on the series so far? With just 3 chapters it has become an MM Pick. Has the adventure just begun?

Verbal83:As far as the adventure just beginnning? I'd like to think so. This story has been brewing in my head for SEVERAL years. So I'd like to think this is a well thought out story with twist and turns that includes strong characters with each having their own story to tell. The trick with doing it this way with LBP is its all undiscovered territory. That's exciting. The entire series has played out in my head right up to the very epic ending, but now I need to translate these images into a comic using the amazing technology Media Molecule have given us.

The other exciting aspect is that of the amazing reviews I receive. To know people are actually caring about these characters and what will happen next is the best part. To create something that people have had a emotional connection to is down right awesome! I care a lot about this story and to see it reciprocated by others is wonderful.

Mr.Sackfist:You stated that you may create another Motion comic after Conduit Flux ends. Figuratively speaking, What would the overall plot be? Would this be a different genre?

Verbal83:Well, there is another story that is set more in a fantasy world than sci-fi I've had in mind for sometime called "Martin the Spartan". The way it exists in my head today is to be honest, all over the place. My grand idea would be to make a "friendlier" version of a God of War meets Samurai Jack.. There would be some game play elements to it so you would play as Martin the Spartan. I've just begun as a side project to protect from burning out on Conduit Flux. Whether it comes to be is a whole other story. No pun intended.
