Ossu! Very early morning here, so let's go!

This week we're having a look at:

Made By My 20yr Old Son - fourad
ESCAPE - LemonCat324
Tomb raider and the Jade Temple - toe-fu-fighter
Adventures in Paperland 2 - Indomitus1973
Year 10: LBP Anniversary

It's a pretty cool set of levels this go about, which is particularly nice considering this is the 10th Anniversary weekend for LittleBigPlanet. Hopefully there's at least one in there that catches your eye and you can have fun with. Thanks as always for all the support and feedback, and have a great day!

This week's title card is another one i ended up quite happy with, though i don't really know why. i do think i could have angled the camera a little better to show the box-bug is supposed to be part of the Trick-or-Treating party. Still, i just kind of like how the scene came together in the end.

Actually got a win on yeasterday's stream of Death Road to Canada. We also recruited an anime sidekick who later exploded on everyone. Look, it doesn't make anymore sense to type than it does to read. i'm thinking i might drop the dime for RE6, since it's on sale. i know it's a terrible game, but it's terrible like Friday the 13th part VI, which could make for a fun stream. At least it would have better legs for a long-form stream; i've the feeling Death Road might get old pretty quickly.

Speaking of streams, the Saturday will be an LBP stream for the anniversary. Might go a little longer than usual too. Hopefully you'll be able to drop on in.

Quick logic question. If you wanted a following object, for example a cardboard cut-out of a SackThing to rotate as the SackThing rotates (for example if SackThing runs up an attract-o-gel wall, the cut-out's head would point in the right direction), how would you go about logic-ing that up?

Ossu! Tuesday Takeaway time again!

Made by my 20yr old son - fourad
Err...yeah, this is certainly a level. It does have some interesting bits; there's a well-angled camera showing us some shutters opening and a creepy Humpty Dumpty looking out the window. It never really gels as a level, though, and some of the bits are just plain sloppy. Still, it was an experience. For some reason i particularly liked the bit where you're running down a hallway, and they've carved into the thin material of the wall "Now you're running behind this."

ESCAPE - LemonCat324
This is a pretty good first effort, to be honest. It has a clear idea what it wants the player to do, and the level is set up to make that happen. The black-and-white filter helps hide the fact that the visual design/presentation is otherwise really quite simple and bland, although it can make the spikes a little hard to see. Like i said in the episode, the only real improvement i could think of would be to incorporate a race or time limit to drive the players a little harder.

Tomb raider and the Jade Temple - toe-fu-fighter
Such a great level here. Presentation is solid on throughout, though the water areas could be a little tough to parse. A good mix of platforming and simple puzzling that keeps you moving at a pretty decent clip. We don't usually run into good levels that are based on or inspired by other games, so it's nice to see it pulled off well. This one should definitely get more love.

Adventures in Paperland 2 - Indomitus1973
There's not much more i think we can say about this one that we didn't cover in the episode. The actual level itself is quite clever in how it's presented, and there's a lot of inventive little gameplay elements going on. Don't know why we don't have a gun displayed when we pick up the power-up, but at least the shooty bits are fun. i just wish Indomitus1973 had done something with the character, maybe making a pixel-style or cardboard cut-out stand-in to better fit the theme. Having the actual sackthing there is bad enough, but to see their shadow floating along behind them is really distracting.

Year 10 - LBP Anniversary - menke
Yeah, this one's not exactly great, but menke's heart is in the right place at least.

So that's the that for this week. Nothing exquisitely terrible, and a couple of really nice ones. Hopefully something here that tripped your trigger. Thanks as always for all the support and feedback, folks, and i hope you have a great day!

i don't even know what to say anymore.
