Help me get back into creating levels!

Archive: 5 posts


So basically It came to me that why would I stop littlebigplanet when I just started to get noticed. So I have now decided that I am going to get back into creating levels. But there is one problem, I really, really want to get back into it but to be honest I don't have the inspiration to do so. I really miss staying up all night planning the perfect platformer and then spending the hole day starting to create this level. I miss creating platformers, I miss doing logic, I miss it all. If any of you have any ideas in which I could get back into it and start working on levels I will be very grateful.

Feel free to try out my levels on shodge123

These levels are quite old and I have some unpublished levels which are alot better. But please feel free to review and tell me what you all think.

Any kind of tips about how I could get back into it I will be grateful.

Hi Shodge123,
It happens to us all mate. We get times when other things take over and creating takes a back seat...its only normal.

The fact that you made this post is a good start, as it means your still interested. So... THERE is your inspiration.
Other ideas I'd suggest are:-

1.The internet- try a few free to play flash game sites. Playing these can jog ideas in your mind.

2. If you have a game idea in mind (like say, a top down shooter, try either looking up TOP DOWN GAME images or maps.)

3. Look up old retro 80's games They are old, but could help inspire.

4. A thing I always find really inspiring is an idea. By that I mean, if there is an idea for a level that you keep coming back to in the back of your
mind every so often, go with that idea.

5. What about writing down a few themes for a level (Medieval, sci-fi, funny, platform, top down, racing, puzzle, adventure, app type) or game styles.

6. Try playing some of the community levels, you could get inspiration there.4

7. The best idea I'd suggest is to make a level that appeals to you, not others. Is there an idea You've been thinking about that YOU would like to make.. Go with that.

8. You could always try a poll and ask others what type of level they'd like?

Hope some ideas are helpful man
