Highschool: Winter Chronicles

Highschool: Winter Chronicles by Jowife1993
This is my Highschool level which is one player only. The reason I made it was because all the other ones had terrible artistry. With my level I fixed that. I will not be making a sequel until LBP2 is out along with a remake of this level. Thank you for understanding. Suggestions and comments would be greatly appreciated.

Written by my friend Midnight_Heist- It's a story level, but has enough moving about to keep you interested.
It has a house with great looking rooms (bedroom/bathroom/kitchen/etc), which have a lot of little details. (including a hat on a coat rack, and even the recycling bin under the steps!).
When you meet a girl (or your best friend), a little identity card pops up, with a picture, name and description.
Probably the best thing about this level is the character's natural sounding dialog, plus there are some great jokes in there too.
You go to school and classes, talk to teachers/students and stuff.

oh yeah i played this level before i really like it, i must say i was very impressed with the schools design. Its :star::star::star::star: and <3 i also loved how you added title cards to the charaters (scott pilgrim influence?). However, there was a problem(just a visual one) after i made one of the girls mad(i forgot the name) i still saw the lights, maybe if you can find a way to make it disappear after the event, that would be good. Please play my high school(its link in my sig) Maybe that it can inspire you as your level did for me.
P.S you may want to delete the other post you made since this is replacing it. (cause the mods dont like double posting) just look admin. tool and check delete thread

Thanks much ^-^. Sorry there was no Scott Pilgrim influence. I've never read or watched it but i know what it is from my friends. If there was anything that really inspired this level it was the Tv show Amagami SS but that was only the idea of using multiple story arcs branching from one central plot. As for the lights there might just be a way to solve that but not a very good one. I could try to add some cameras to move the view away but as for making them disappear its impossible. Thanks for your imput.

Way to go Jowife1993, thats what I like to call a charming level :)
Your humor was good and the detail is done very well in your house but losses a bit when you get into the High school, perhaps some posters through the halls and more deco in the classrooms? Also, I chose to help the girl and met her on the rooftop, for some reason, I walked around for a few minutes passing by her a few times with no text popping up, so I was unsure what to do until I left and then it triggered. If this was intentional, it should be her to speak up first, not him.

Noticed an odd piece of material at the base of the door leading into the English Classroom. I was also unsure at the begining that I was suppose to use a sticker to decided if I was helping her or just going to class, perhaps specify to use a sticker? I always forget about it and I was about to end the level and send you a message, but then I figured it out.

Other than those, I thought it was done very well and I liked the choices you gave. It's the first level where I thought it made an impact on what I was going to do. All those LBP levels that claim to be an RPG should adhere to your approach as it was fantastic!! Story was good and re-playability is high.

I gave you :star::star::star::star: <3

and oh yeah i do mean to ask, hows part 2 doing?

lol i don't plan on a sequel until lbp 2. the impact would be greater with sackbots

same here, im planning to make an awesome high school level when 2 comes out(look at sig for description)

Thank you very much i think the sticker in the halls idea is fabulous, along with the fact that, yes i do need to specify the stickers are to activate options. As for triggering the scene with Aria its just i wanted the person to be standing where they belong when you speak to her. I 'might add an x or something to specify. Thank you very much again and i'll be sure to play and critique your level tomorrow afternoon.
Cheers,

Hey man, glad you finally posted a thread here.
I loved this level so much I made a recommendation thread a while ago.

This is one of the cutest levels I have ever played.

You go to school and classes, talk to teachers/students and stuff. I don't want give away too much of the level. :)

I highly recommend a second playthough to choose the other options, as I nearly missed a gem of a moment.
:star::star::star::star::star: + level <3 + creator <3 (he has a nice platforming level too)
Underrated and underplayed.

lol yeah i saw

Charming little level! Did you max out the thermo, though? I was expecting to head back home for more story.

Feedback-wise, I thought everything around the house should've been interactive, or at least had score bubbles spread out creatively. Stairways in the school, or some form of platforming to get from here to there would've been better than sack-suicide, which always feels kind of cheap. More fitting than High School would've been Elementary, being how cute and tiny everything in LBP is. The possibilities! But that's a personal opinion. And there were a lot of grammatical errors in the dialog, along with leftover dialog from earlier, which was a bit distracting.

Overall.. cute, enjoyable! I was definitely smiling while playing. And that's good, right? (I liked the sticker decisions.)

(After playing this, I'm very sure you'd enjoy the story aspect of Purapril that you weren't able to get to. Try again?)

I guess i could try purapril again, anyways there couldn't be too many grammatical errors i've spotted about three. one of them i can fix but the others are difficult because they are emitted. the reason for lack of bubbles is because of all the sack suicide and the reason i did that was because the thermo maxed out. i had to cut a tonne of stuff like stairs because of it and the ending house scene because of it. In lbp 2 this will be fixed because you can do sequencing. As for elementary school, i'm sorry but i'd rather shoot myself. I hated elementary and my experience there wouldn't make for a very good level. Yes leftover dialog is annoying but impossible to remove, i've tried.

i played the level again and i forgot to mention one thing, if the thermo isnt full, can you make a neighborhood behind the house? Cause it looks kinda odd that your the only house there

lol its funny you asked that. i just happened to try an make a fence behind it and the thermo maxed out on that alone lol i could try to figure out that new thermo defying glitch so i'll try when i get a chance.

I noticed in already thermo-heavy levels of mine, when I go and use the free shape tool on an object that is glued to a lot of other objects, the thermometer explodes. If this is a similar situation for you, try freeing that object first, then reshape it and glue it back when you're done.

This is what I Think about your level:

Good: Nice scenarios. They are well-made and detailed. Very nice and appealing.

Bad: No action at all. Too much reading. Just walk from one place to the other. A bit boring.

Honestly, I didn't like it. :star::star:

I liked very much your level . very nice. I skipped math class and in the office told me that they would suspend me! but they are crazy? lol... i gave you :star::star::star::star: stars and <3

Ummm sorry to burst your bubble dude, but if you don't like reading, I don't see the point in you playing my level let alone, any highschool level for that matter, considering reading is the point of highschool levels. Just wait for LBP2 I'll be voice acting all the characters so you won't have to read.

Thanks much for the positive feedback.

Very nice level! the story was great! I loved the creativity in the level!
5 :star: and <3
