Small blabla
Spending near 3 weeks on this beast, its a matter of long days and short nights to get the level finished before the beta ends.
Me and clay (c_mckamey) are about 3 rooms away from finishing this level,
we only have 2.5 days to add in a boss, the ending and the final room.

For that reason, I am publishing it now, and keep updating the published level untill the beta server shuts down.

This level exists out of many cutscenes with only little sackboy influences, mainly to try out cutscenes, cart-physics and bot control.
at one point, there are 6 sequencers filled with logic running at the same time.

some images of the involving logic:

Thanks to asbestos101, we are able to use a variety of songs,
but even better, he made a song that is focussed on a specific cut-scene.
King-o worked on a tree in the giant room and obviously clay did almost all the modular logic I then could use to get the cutscene up and running.

Level information:

Full level name: The Ancient Tower of New Beh'Ta
PSN: Luos_83

Made by:
Luos_83, c_mckamey, Asbestos101 (and some help from King-O, shadowriver, aya)
(Thanks so much guys!, Could not have done this without you!!)

Powerups:
Grapplehook, Grabinator.

Gameplay:
cutscene/story based, bossfights. (one of 3 is working)


New lbp2 features used:
Everything and then some. (not kidding)


Bugs you might encounter:
Sometimes one of the cutscene fails, seems to be a lag problem when playing online.
DONT let anybody join you while you are in the level, it will bork up.



Thanks MM, This game is epic..
and its still Beta-epic.. I cant wait untill it becomes Full-epic.

Sincerely thanks,
Luos_83

wow.
thanks for giving me a reason to fire up the beta again.
What are your plans for the full game?

Looks great! excellent visuals!
It seems your still having trouble with bots, I had to reply it several times to make it to the end. Once both bots fell into the water at the grab bridge, there were two plays where the lock couldn't release when I tried to turn the wheel.
Also, "corner jumping" lets you cross the gap without using the red grab at the beginning.

I know criossant, but i probably wont have the time to fix all the issues before beta ends.
I will fiddle with some stuff in the cutscenes, but creating the boss over next 1.5 day is my main priority.

Redoing sack the legendary series from start, will be epic.

Various ufo-related levels with the luos and clay twist.

some small fun-to-play games.
and some stand alone levels:

"Sandfall"

"Requiem in a dream"

thieves of Ankh Morpork remake.

and.. we'll see what the future hold.
Also for funzies im gonna make a sticker and deco pack..
doesnt work for lbp itself (made in 3dsmax/photoshop/illustrator), but i think it might be fun to do some "fanbased" work.

So the Beh'ta series won't be in the retail game? That'd be a shame, but they were fun while the beta lasted :)

Probably not,
Maybe a tribute level..
but prolly not.

heres a pic of the boss in the making:

Go fast, we have 3 days

I'm must say I'm impressed :
you guys are very courageous to spend that much time and pull that hard work for those short-living levels..! :boo:
Thanks for that!

The level is great as expected, good luck for the last parts! :)

Lolwut.
Another?!
Darn. I'll have to wait for video since I would have to re-dl the beta again due to new ps3.

You made the majority of this in LBP1 then transferred it right? Right?!
Looks very nice. Shame only beta people can enjoy these good levels.

I saw "Tower of new beh'ta" and I tought "oh man, a noob has put a title like that to get plays" because I couldn't think it was yours.
I tought the 2nd was the last one :)! Good work, keep it up (in LBP 2? :D).
Too bad they'll be deleted :<.
Can't Mm keep a copy of the most awesome levels? Pleeeaaaseee :>?

I like these levels a lot! Too bad I don't have the beta, so I might never get to play them :(

Oh well, they'll live on YouTube forever!

Luos your work is EPIC! I don't have the beta, but I keep up with the series. I can't wait to see the youtube video. Keep on inspiring people with your good work!

There's only one word for this whole enterprise and that's quixotic (in a good way!). I thought so before this latest flourish but now I know it. I take off my hat to all those involved (and in keeping with the Don Quixote image, it's a wide brimmed hat with a sweeping plume on it).

Seriously, though, these levels (and Lockpick's Maze) have been the highlight of the Beta for me. Thanks for going the extra mile. :)

Nope, all made in the beta. :)


Thanks guys,
we almost got the pre-last room working,
but its late (4 am) so i better go to bed.
did play raphaelldude's level though, with the dolphin.. its very good!

VID. NOW!

But really, a vid will make the level live, and never die! :)

A vid will be made tomorrow I hope.
I am not going to finish the level though,
Ive spend massive time on it, and even gave up new years eve to try and finish it.
but sleeping only a few hours a night, working around 8 - 10 hours a day on the level..
I need a break before lbp2 starts.

I hope you guys wont hold it against me :/

-luos

I understand :).
Do it when you want, not when you can ^^.

I know the beta has ended,
but two people (maddognick96 & Trindall27 recorded the level and put up a movie on YT)
Trindall still needs to make his one public, so I will post that one later.
The other can be seen here:

And here is the recording I made of the level though maddognick96 has already done a good recording of as well. Cheers.
