I was dying at the part with the moving platform and from wich you over cogs while there are plasma balls shot a you. lol

Yeah, that's the last part of the level.

 

[Lion Heart]

This level is amazing, Ranger. So good, plus I've never seen anyone implement this guy's skill-based scoring method (start with 5000 points, lose 100 every time you die). After a few tries I managed a score of 4300. I notice you didn't actually finish it . Where'd you give up? The level's not that long, but the last section caused me quite a few deaths on my first playthrough.

I'd cross-post this level to the main thread, more people should see it.

One of the best platforming levels I've EVER played, unbelievable. Its hard but fair in a Demons souls type way, it lookis amazing, he even played around with the gravity (first time I've played a level with this) and added a sprint to square, mario style. This is the epitome of LBP2.

I also played Jumps level, pretty rad although I did manage to cheat a bit where you have to traverse sideways while jumping. I seemed to hit mid air but jammed on the X and made it through where I should have died. Still a great level, as is that puzzle game (fucking amazing).

I thought the level was horrible. The whole music thing didn't work out (the rythm has to align to the players movement, not to movement of the objects), it was way too hard and sometimes you couldn't see shit. Just no fun.

You can't go wrong with geosautus, poms, Lockstitch, steve_big_guns (a bit more experimental in game genres), jump_button, ALS_TheGamer and ruof.

Also, there was this guy who was doing visually amazing levels: Teebonesy, but sadly he isn't active anymore. His levels looked amazing but felt a bit unfinished at times. His name also popped up in the MM greetings at the end of lbp2.

A lovely 8-bit style platforming level that doesn't infringe on Nintendo's copyrights?! Right now the boss is too hard, but it's still extremely well made.

NIIIIICE, HIjinx was doing pixel stuff like that in the beta. It's nice to see a level from him now. I will queue that for sure!!

Good level, as I said in my review of your level, you need to work on improving the framerate. I died because of it. I'd also try and tweak the gravity settings to make the jumps more accurate, the floaty controls doesn't really suit a level like this.

But apart from that a very good level. Reminded me that I have to try and make a good score challange level.

Poultry Panic

This level is so good! Not the prettiest around but the guy created a very nice pace, good gameplay, a fun sidekick to sackboy and most of all ---- it's the first time I am playing a community level in LBP2 where having a couple of cut-scenes and a story is actually making the level BETTER. There's also of care put in that level, it's really worth it to play in it's entirely. Did I mentionned it's also the "perfect difficulty" imo? Not easy and never overly hard (infinite checkpoints anyways). You have to play that. Needless to say, the screens don't it justice...

The Fist of Craft Earth
http://lbp.me/v/xt6jj6

Some of you might have seen this level before from the beta, but it's been brought back to life in full form! If you've ever played a God of War/Dynasty Warriors/Devil May Cry type game before, hopefully you'll feel right at home with this level. :moody:

The goal was to see if I could bring that same level of action to LBP2 and here's to hoping I've reached a little bit of that same magic as those action games bring to the players out there.

- It has sharks, zombies, dinosaurs, and even a gigantic metal octopus!
- Pull off insane combos and see if you can reach 99 hits!
- Nutty special attacks and full screen supers!
- Beast Grip action similar to Devil May Cry 4's devil bringer
- Regenerative health

The youtube is still uploading, so I'll post when it's done. Hope you guys like it!

And Poultry Panic is awesome sauce.

Industrial Platforms
by: ATMLVE

The worlds largest platforms industry is also a very dangerous place. Funny... the place doesnt actually MAKE platforms, it just has them scattered everywhere with a layout perfect for a sack person to have a fun and slightly challenging adventure.

First, you'll get the intro (prelude).

Screens:

Then on to the game itself. I build in a complete menu:
- Play Now
- Prelude (watch intro)
- Tutorial (learn to play)

The game is much like Doodle Jump / Abduction... You control the character with the Sixaxis Motion Sensor and go from platform to platform. For every hit platform, you get points. After you hit a platform, it'll disappear shortly after. There are power-ups as well, which will take you up faster if you jump into them.

Screens:

 

[kinoki]

Soon done with my second level. Polished the structure a bit and applied the larger details. Will get back to finishing it this week, I think. Got the finale left to construct and then the general playtesting with the gf, fixing camera issues and fine-tuning the platforms.

I've really learned a ton making this level. The next one (been thinking about some ideas) will be alot better technically.

Man I just played this while going through my queue and it has to be one of the best levels I've ever played, I loved the characterization even though noone said and word, the ending was surprisingly touching and the gameplay was almost perfect with only a few hitches here or there.

Please play this game and give it the kind of attention it really deserves.

edit: oh and while I'm here thanks alot Ranger for making this thread, it's great for queuing up a few levels while at work.

I really like the concept but I wish you had chosen a different control scheme, just seemed so unwieldy to control with the six axis instead of the left analog.

Thanks. And well, yeah, perhaps the controls may be a bit hard, but judging by your score you managed just fine. ;-)

It's inspired by an iPhone/Android game: Doodle Jump, which also uses the gyro for the controls. It's true that these phones are more accurate, but I feel the Sixaxis works just fine.

I've been thinking about doing a version where you use the left stick though. But that one should be infinite and I have no clue about how I should do that. Emitters?

BadgerBadgerBadger: Attacke der Sackdachse

Me and my friend played a little around and made a little Multiplayer Level.
You have to defend your own little "base" from the badgers by moving the left stick up and down.
It is still an early build but we had our fun. Maybe someone wants to try it out and leave some feedback if there is something not working or if you have ideas for improvement.

Best played with 2 - 4 Players

8-BIT: Side/Top Down Platfomer (V3.0 fix bug)

 

[magicaltrevor]

You just answered your own question. =)

I imagined it would've been something like that, but I don't know where to start... because, well, when the sackbot is jumping, he'll climb in height.

If I had to make a running train with a looping background, the train would just remain at it's place and I could put movers on several set pieces on the back layer that move to the left and get emitted every x seconds.

But the sackbot is jumping, so ultimately, he'll get to the top of the level-canvas, right?

Perhaps you could be so kind to play my level donkey show, and share some ideas/pointers on how to make it endless? It would be highly appreciated!

Well, it's all about positioning and scale. Let's say we split up your current level into 8 with section 1 being the lowest point and section 8 being the top border of the level height.

[9 <-extreme top of stage
[8 <-emitted sections
[7 <-player should not pass
[6 |
[5 |
[4 |
[3 | - player space
[2 <- player should not pass this area
[1 <-section destroyed
[0 <-bottom of the stage

Since we're trying to build a sense of constant movement, your idea with the train is similar, but obviously the level sections are falling down instead of scrolling sideways. The key is having the sections drop at a constant speed that's both reasonable to the player, but fast enough so that the player doesn't hot shot his/her way to the emitted areas. Although using gravity would be okay, I would suggest using a mover to make sure the areas fall at a certain speed and then dissolve when they hit section 1. Hopefully that helps a little.

Finally, my second level is released. There might still be some rough spots that I have to work through. Going back today (no work) and replay it a couple of times to see if I notice anything that needs to be ironed out.

Any criticism would be nice. 2nd level published and all. Still alot of learning to be done.

Thought I'd throw some screenshots in here (just figured out this function):

Awesome! Thank you for your help. It makes sense now. I'll try this method ASAP and show you the results here. ^^

Had some levels suggested to me in N4G and thought you guys might appreciate them.

Moon Lander http://lbp.me/v/w3qk7n
Moon Lander 2 http://lbp.me/v/xtvv0j

it's one of those classic moon lander type games where you have to fight gravity and keep from touching any walls or you'll explode, the second one has some cool ideas on coop with areas that only one player or the other can pass through. I played through the first and have only touched the second momentarily.

 

[Ranger X]

Sweet! Will try that.

 

[Teknoman]

So how far are we off from the next NeoGAF collaboration?

Dont want to beat the subject into the ground, but with true top-down camera orientation and Sack bots/music creator...Super LBC should be no problem at all. Then again i'm biased since i'm a really big Contra fan.

PS blog

Hi guys! Some cool nuggets of LittleBigPlanet news to start your weekend off nicely…

Firstly, a game update for LittleBigPlanet 2 was released earlier this week. Codenamed ‘Cupcake’, it fixes a number of issues that were making some players’ experience of LBP 2 insufficiently Sack-tastic. Head over here for a full list of updates
