Posted October 6, 2008 Well my levels up, I aint no shigsy so its not the best design, or original. If you have go let me know what you think, good or bad, I am all grown up now so I can take criticism. Its slightly like a Zelda game - hit this switch, open that gate, push block onto pressure pad ect... How do I find it? Name? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 6, 2008 In case you lot don't know - the little big planet beta is just under 1GB. The retail version will be around 40GB on the Blu Ray. Thats a hell of a lot more stuff for us to play with - cant wait. You think it's good right now - we ain't seen nothing yet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you have go let me know what you think, good or bad, I am all grown up now so I can take criticism. Its slightly like a Zelda game - hit this switch, open that gate, push block onto pressure pad ect... Well played the level with you and was pretty awesome, has inspired me for a level of my own. Going to nick a few ideas. We had quite a good session there was a bit laggy at first but things improved. We also played my craptastic story! It's so rough it unbelievable but it took me hours to do! I think the next step for me is to work out all this mechanical stuff I have watched the tutorials but need to put it into practice. Honestly i cant Wait!!! Check these out: Boss battle Quaz51 on neogaf made a calculator: I am just speechless. Just speechless! Incredible. Whilst I'm struggling to make a motor work properly to open and door people are creating wonders like this! amazing! I don't even get how a calculator can work but it does. Surely Media Molecule can't afford to just dump all this stuff in a waste land? Surely it should all stay there for the real game. I have heard rumblings a lot of levels that were there on day onee/two are in fact from the closed beta, so why not stretch out this stuff to the retail release? I'm sure it wouldn't be that hard. I'd like to think creations are tied to your PSN account as it's all server side so it should be straight forward. There are simply too many gems that can't be lost. For me my top 3 favourite levels I have played are; World of Colour Takeshi's Castle Houston we have a Problem All very different but all fantastic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 7, 2008 World of colour is fabulous. Some people seem to have so many different backgrounds/stickers etc that I feel like I'm missing out. I haven't got individual letters as stickers (Like NASA guy has in space level). Wonder where they are. I like how you can access any tutorial at any time, which really does help if you can't remember how to do things. But some of those levels will make me think "sod it!" lol.

Posted October 7, 2008 I played that calculater level last night, it is incredible. I know the theory behind it, having done a bit of electronics on a course. But applying that to a created level is genius. Must have took him ages to place all the on/off swiches and connect them up in such a way to make a calculator.

But applying that to a created level is genius. Must have took him ages to place all the on/off swiches and connect them up in such a way to make a calculator. So its all based on actual electronics? the thing that fascinates me is how the heck does it know which numbers are in each box, I'm guessing its more to do with how many times the switch is used? Incredible...anyway, I'm sat at work on a free period sketching little big planet level ideas...I think it has got its way into my head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, electronics in its most basic form is on/off or up/down or 1/0. Using on/off switches to create things called AND/NAND/XOR/OR gates, These gates can then be used to create simple counting circuits or in this case, a calculator. I know what you mean about it getting into your head, I was laid awake last night conjuring up ideas for levels in my head. This game has got its hooks into me. EDIT: Look......I even changed my Avatar lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well I went to check...I wasn't going to play it as had already seen it in that movie, I wanted to see how many plays it had and whether it had been hearted...if you type 911 in now, there is a educational memorial 911 level and not a lot else...so they got censored...

I am not a fan of censorship though. hmmm...I guess vulgarity has to be censored owing to it not being rated as such. Stuff that is in say bad taste is a bit harder to say whether it should as no matter how horrifying people will find such things there are people out there who will find it entertaining...
