"Jetpax"

Archive: 9 posts


I've got an awesomely working concept for sackbot jetpacks. Basically you can fly around for a small bit of time and then you have to refill the jetpack at certain fuel points. Some of those are broken, so you'll have to fix them with your wrench.

Thing is, i don't know what to do with it.

Any help? Pictures and maybe level keys will come a bit later.




I also know that it's a bit useless to have a help topic without anything to help on. But, i mean, does anyone have any examples of levels that had creative jetpack usage or stuff like that in them? Anything to add?

hmmm sounds cool. i like the gameplay idea of having to fix your own refilling stations as you zip about.

the jetpack level that springs to my mind is Boom Town from the Canyons in LBP1, just that one little section with the jetpack had thousands of people complaining about not being able to ace the level, and reminded everyone how hard subtle and precise movements could be with the jetpack.

Other than that I always really enjoyed levels that used the tethered jetpacks so that you had a limited area of flight, it made for some quite clever puzzles.

Jet packs... Fixing things with your wrench... Sounds a lot like the jetpack sections from the new Ratchet & Clank game, Into The Nexus. You basically have a jetpack that you can fly with and refuel at little stations. And Ratchet has a wrench Maybe make a minigame that has to do with that?2014-01-03 09:31:00

JETPACKS? Once you make your mind up and the level comes out: Instahearted and yay'd and creator hearted. (Well creator heart deleted and then given again.)

I'd try and help you out but all of my Jetpack related ideas are reserved for that level collecting dust on my moon. /PicksUpDuster

I haven't played LBP1 so i don't know about that. Might look up a gameplay video then.

Also haven't played this, well, i'd like to attach a story to it, so it won't be a minigame.

I knew you were going to reply :kz:
I just can't find any gameplay to add, i'd like the level to be some mix between platforming and flying, but i can't find any cool gameplay ideas for flying, or having a transition from flying to just platforming.

I was thinking last afternoon, and via some very weird jumps between thoughts, I came up with the following idea:
you are an astronaut on a space station. Somehow (still need to think of a reason) it crashes, and basically you end up being the only one left alive. You take a jetpack and fly from fragment to fragment, and this way you can implement those (broken) charging points. The final goal is still unknown (dun dun duuuun ) but maybe something like flying to an escape pod.
Just an idea though, don't know if you're interested.
