Hi guys.

Archive: 12 posts


First thing's first, happy to finally have registered. Tried to register on my phone's browser but that wasn't possible. I got very frustrated. It said I didn't accept the forum rules when I CLEARLY checked the box EVERY TIME. Anyways, I'm here, so all is well.

I have been an avid LBP fan since the first game and I've always have big ambitions but not enough brainpower to get the job done. I've not been a very prolific creator, having only published a mere 2 levels, both of which I consider mediocre.

The first level was a platformer that payed tribute to Mirror's Edge. This was created in LBP1 and it was not good at all. I remade the level and made it much, much better in LBP2.

My second level, which is another platformer, is my own original level, called Heist: Casino, published on this very day of January 14, 2013 on the PS Vita version of LBP. It is about the new guy on a team of robbers. He is tasked with getting into the casino, getting the money, and getting out. Simple right?

I am currently testing the poop out of an RPG level. I can't get anything right, no matter how hard I try.

It really saddens me that even though I put hours of work into my levels, they end up just being mediocre and barely get any visits anyway. It makes me wonder if these games (that I love very much) are even worth my time anymore.

My games don't really re-invent the wheel, but when my real-life friends come over and play them, they have a blast. So, if you have the time, please play my level, Heist: Casino. It is sitting at 0 visits as of now, been published for 5 hours now. I know I need to be patient but seriously, how will anyone find the level?

You could also try Mrror's Edge if you wanted to on PS3; it's sitting at around 15 visits and it's been published for a year and a half or so.

Any feedback on my levels, whether it be criticism, compliments, suggestions, anything, would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks to anyone who reads this.

Howdy and welcome to LBPC. So glad you joined. This is really a great place to be. It's an awesome place to make new friends, learn techniques and tricks and just to have a good time. To help you explore the site I'll provide a few links for you.


The Level Showcase (http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?40-Level-Showcase) area is the place you want to go to make a thread about your level. We have an optional F4F (feedback for feedback) system where you tell others to check out your level, come back and give feedback/suggestions and you'll do the same for them. It's a valuable system that is underused here. Be sure to use the LBP.me tool (the white bell in a blue box icon) http://www.lbpcentral.com/images/lbpme.png this will pull your level info from LBP.me and place it in the thread for you. NOT WORKING RIGHT NOW
Before posting your awesome creation in the level showcase, please read this handy dandy guide. It will help your get more attention to your thread and your level. The Level Showcase and You, a Guide to level Promotion (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=73343-LBPC-Showcase-Essential-Guide-(For-Dummies))

Welcome! Glad ya made it!

..but so sorry you had issues joining. I think sometimes the little do dads and such, java scripts and other such thingies get a bit lost on phone browsers.

As my esteemed colleague biorogue says, your best bet of getting lots of the feedback you have dreamt of can be yours by posting your levels in the Level Showcase! Add lots of photos and a detailed description to help others feel excited to play it. Also include them to be F4F (feedback for feedback) and be PROACTIVE in it's use. That is, go play other F4F levels in the showcase, leave lots of great detailed, constructive feedback for those levels. Then mention which of your levels to have them honor their F4F commitment. Don't do it once, twice, or just three times.. do it a bunch! This not only gets others to check out your levels, but helps you to get to know other creators here on LBPC and build a network of sorts.

..and any questions, just ask!

Have fun!

Hey sweinhoff and welcome to the site. Glad you were able to get through
AS for you level, I'll just be another person to suggest the whole F4F Level Showcase method. It could really help.
Enjoy.

Hello and welcome! Also as a somewhat successful creator let me let you in on a secret... Hearts and plays don't matter. It's true hearts are merely just a number, and I make my levels just for friends/fans both online and in real life. Bottom line: If you like the game and enjoy playing it, then honestly who cares about the end results?
Stay vigilant my friend.

Welcome to LBPCentral, mate . From your OP it seems that you are having trouble with creating levels but I can help you with making levels if you want. Just send me a friend request on PSN, but I suspect I have near maximum friends by now. So if I do, just send me a message instead and I will add you back.2013-01-19 23:51:00
