The great maze, level idea

Inspired by the level of the same name In SSBB, I am currently working on a level called the great maze

The idea is that you have to use toggle, Sackboy and odd sock (no swoop because his flight would be very game breaking) to explore a bunch of mini levels within one giant dynamic thermometer level, using velociporters, bendy rails and layer launchers to tradition between each of the zones,

In each zone is a switch (surrounded by neon,) that must be pulled, once all of them are pulled, a layer launcher will be avalible to launch you to the finish!

There are also secret zones and hidden areas

Any tips and advice (I'm already aware I probably won't be able to use every world in little big planet 1, 2 and 3 In one level)

I am also considering making it in adventure format, assuming I can get quest tweakers to work.

Sounds like it could turn out to be a great level. My only advise would be to use as many thermo saving tricks as possible. I'm aware of the dynamic thermo, but having that much may make it hard for people to actually load the level ( especially in multiplayer ).

Some basic thermo tips are:
>Keeping invisible material ( like sticker panel used for logic ) shapes as simple as possible ( square ). Try to limit other shapes as well.
>Limiting the number of different materials used in the level.
>Simplifying logic as much as you know how to.
>Sticker panel

Those are just a few. I'm sure you probably know these and more, but using thermo saving techniques and trying to keep lag down will help people enjoy the level.

And if it's going to be multiplayer ( i'm assuming that's the plan ), make sure to test, and test again many times throughout the levels progress. Anything that can go wrong in the level will go wrong when others start playing it.

Hopefully this was helpful in some way.

I think I may be trying to make the quest tweakers actually work, as an adventure I can make the mini levels much bigger,

If I can't make it work,I may split it knto 3 levels, one for LBP 1 worlds, one for LB2 worlds and one for LBP3 words

At the moment the garden is done (that section is supposed to be easy,) and I am working on the metropolis section, a maze that takes place both above and below water,

I guess I haven't really messed with quest tweakers yet. I might see what I can do with them and let you know what I find out
