Sack Jones and The lava temple

Archive: 23 posts


Hey there,

I've just published a new level. It's kind of an hommage to Indiana Jones. The level feature a few platforming sections but mostly puzzles.

You have at your disposition clues in a scrapbook and have to get trough the temple and find the treasure in it. There are 2 paths, 4 ways to finish the level, a trophy system and probably glitches and bugs.

To be honest, I have kind of a love hate relation with this level. I went into a lot of troubles with this one (including losing my saved game data and 30 hours of work with it, having fixed bug reappearing, not to mention I'm working on it from more than a year). There are some parts that I like and some that are... not as good as I wich they are.

I hope the result is still enjoyable. Feel free to come back here with your thoughts about the level.

Anyway I hope you'll enjoy your journey in the temple, thanks for playing. Here is the level link : http://vita.lbp.me/v/gr7cp

Thanks both of you! I've tried something different from my usual stuff, and as I said i'm not sure if I like the result or not (I'm also not confident with puzzle difficulty, as it might discourage players). So I'm looking forward to know what you think about the level 2014-01-24 09:24:00

Wow! Congrats! I was wondering how long it can took before someone manage to get all of this trophies. Response is a couple of days

I have a couple of question for you : what was the hardest trohy to get? And did you notice the 6 cogs (only 5 are needed to get the "temple orb") ?

The reason why there is 6 cogs and 5 places to place the cogs is that I worked on this level since december 2012, and at the time I designed the treasure I had completely forgoten 1 cog. When i realized it, it was to late to change.

Again congrats!

Thanks!

The speedrunner trophy was the hardest one because you need to master the level first in order to get over all these puzzles and traps in time.

Still I got it with no problem. I think all of them were pretty easy to get. Overall the trophies were a good idea, it added a nice replay value to the level.

Also, I had no idea about the missing cog. I didn't count them because I had them all when I first time passed through the treasure room.

A quick message to let you know I just removed the open beta from the title as it seems there is no major issue. I've made some minor fixes too.

@Schark94 : Glad you liked the trophy system. As there was mutiple way to exit the level and 2 paths, I thought it could be a good addition to the level. It let the player know that he might have missed stuff on his first playtrough.

@Gwaeron : Pas de soucis, c'?tait juste de la curiosit?. Tout se d?roule comme pr?vu, la "mauvaise fin" est sens?e ?tre celle que tu as en premier

I just saw your comment on the level, thanks . I have to agree about my poor english. If someone feels kind enough to suggest me a better version of the first pages during the intro, clues in the notebook and trophies names, i'll apreciate it a lot.

About the bad ending it's supposed to be the first one you'll reach. I just realized that it might be an issue for colorblind people as color is involved in the puzzle to avoid the bad ending (for the bad path). There is also a bad ending of the good path, color is also involved but I guess this one can be found with trial and errors without using the colors.

If it was for the lower path, you should observe the skulls in the corridor of skulls, there is something here you can use in the last room with the hourglass.

Thanks Sure I'm still looking for help on the english. I may need to gather all texts in one place to make it easier to help me though. I also have to add two small cutscenes to let the player know he won't be able to open the journal during both ending puzzles.2014-02-21 09:46:00
