So it's new level that I been thinking for awhile.


It start off like this you'll be issue in mission to investigate colony on mars that has sudden been off grid. 
Once you enter the place you find out that the colony is destroy by sandstorm on mars.

You continue on to find out if anyone survive.... but the only thing that you see is robots.

You must find out what cause this event to happen! As well as escaping the place to return information back to Earth.

Now what should the level be?

1. Should I be going for horror feel?
2. Should the level be focusing on platformer while telling an story?
3. Or something else?

Please not that this level will be big project. So except it to not come out anytime soon, however any ideas will be taking to account so you can make difference to this level!   Thank you for listening!

1. I Think Suspenseful horror would be the best, you know trying not to be seen by robots, that stuff!

2. I Think that its should focus on be a platformer but it can also tell a story. This can be done by scattering different things called "date logs", when ever a player encounters a date log text will appear at the bottom of the screen revealing more story like "DateLog 1 - The invention of robots have started " but they would be in hard to reach places

Tell a story and try to get unique gameplay elements into your levels.

Horror sounds interesting, but if you do so, please don't use cheap jumpscares. Try to get the audience scared.

horror, but yeah no jumpscares, just atmosphere and slow build-up

Thank you all for your ideas and suggestion! I will make sure the level will be focusing on building eerie atmosphere while telling interesting story.   Don't worry there wont be any cheap jump scares!

I would definitely say put more focus on telling a story, the community generally lacks a lot of story telling, so it will be a great change, especially coupled with those awesome looking scenery,should make for a cool level. Horror, I'm less bothered about, would rather there be more story if its at the cost of horror effects.

If it is about sci-fi, use laptops with some notes about projects or personal entries.

And if you want to focus on storytelling, watch a few videos about that topic. It's really important!

Wow! That looks amazing!

I'll make sure to use personal entries to give player specific information. As well as making player create memory link to the main event!

-Memory link of the past will help me create more engage able story.

-Personal entries will help me keep flow of the gameplay.

Here little update of certain area I have been working on.

-Info this take place as soon as you land. It empty and eerier desert were you'll receive no response.... Only option is to walk towards to colony thru the sandstorm! 

Update: 3

It short update....
Only progress I made was a interactive song. As well as detailing and adding sound, As you can see I try to attempt to create eerie atmosphere. I don't know if I accomplish that task. However, I want to know if you guys approve the sound, music, scenery, and most import of all the gimmick. (TELEPORTER)

- It creates an black hole which can save location where you have place to it.... (teleport to that area) 0:22
- Black hole can be use to create power within the facility. 0:45

These mechanics can help me create some very interesting platforming! So what are your thoughts of this gimmick? Is it good addition!

Wow, fantastic work so far!

Update: 4

So I completely redo the outside section. Instead of focusing on the horror aspect, I decided that player should understand concept of mechanics. In so here is some basic platform to get the player filmilar with things.

Yeah, I bet it's better to explain things, show how things work before getting killed by burning sackbots.

Good luck.

Thank you!

Who said the robot WILL kill you   maybe just maybe.....

That feeling when you forget to back up your profile and get corrupted. ;_;

Im facing huge problem! Every time I unpause my level the game just crashes..... I really lost and puzzle! If anyone has any type of solution can you please suggest....... it just hurts so much to see such big project go to waste!

Ok so my logic is somehow Underneath the background and level can be play in played mode without crashing. So I try deleting parts of the level in create mode but I still crash at the process

Did you try to copy the level and paste it on another crater? Do you use some inofficial logic? What about saving the level as object?

Well that's a strange bug. The game crashes because something doesn't run properly.

I haven't tried copying it. I hope that'll will be the solution
I believe cause of this bug happen when you save level while the sequencer was activated in dynamic thermometer

and yes I did use quite a lot inofficial logic

I'm glad you still work on it! Yeah, I have seen the pictures. Looking good! I'll watch the trailer.

Wow, I love the "dark" atmosphere, I'm totally curious to play your level when its done!

Many greetings, Jürgen^^

Great lighting and fog effects! I'm looking forward to play it.

I wonder how many creators are committed to create a ambitious level. Do you ever felt that payoff is to insignificant? Well for me, the thing that strive me towards this level isn’t gain publicity, but instead creating game that I couldn’t create in this lifespan. That’s why, because someday I’ll go back to lbp or dreams and play these level that contain my very own concept that I have brought to life and look upon as sense of accomplishment.

Interesting thoughts. For me it is almost always creating that perfect level I'm satisfied with. Too Late is a ambitious project. I never made a story driven adventure that is 30-40 minutes long. I'm trying to create a very unique adventure with a deep story, cool world and nice backstory. I am not sure if it's going to be finished one day. So on the one hand I am always hoping that the players enjoy it, but on the other hand I'm never really satisfied, because it isn't perfect.

So if you want a really short answer it's perfection that makes me create levels. Making the perfect level.

I want to thank all of you for the feedback. As this project is nearly complete and might even be release even sooner then the release date given.

This will be my final update. Sorry for the big wait.
