Hey salieri! Awesoooome level u have here. I'll return with feedbck later lol. Srry

[The Forgotten]

You've outdone yourself again salieri! This has to be one of the greatest looking levels in the history of LBP! I love your characters, they were so small, yet contained loads of detail! The crypt was one of the best looking parts of the castle, it's a shame that it wasn't bigger. Thwe attention and detail you put into the design of the objects and rooms show your skills as one of the the best creators on the psp! I did feel the story was a bit odd but it just added to the overall appeal of the level! I can't write anymore cause i've run out of adjectives to describe how brilliant this level is!
and a Heart!

Oh my goodness I hadn't realized you published a new one! Must find it! I'll be back with feedback when I can!

Edit: Okay, so I started playing this level, and immediately had to come back to the forum to make a few comments as I played- this is absolutely amazing!

The introduction is awesome, and the irony is that I was wearing the Dracula getup from ali's level Sackula, so that coincidence really helped dive right into the experience.

This level is simply gorgeous! The characters are incredible- deranged and undead, but somehow still lovable. Incredibly well corner edited and stickered! The poster you have hanging- I'm sure you know the one- made of the perfect stickers shrunk and twisted to create an amazing scene. Just gorgeous! The whole level, every room! Incredible XD

I love the dialogue and the little quests! Very humorous and even insightful at times I lol'd several times, you got some pretty good jokes in here

Some great mini-puzzles, too, well placed and well executed, not to mention as gorgeous as everything else in the level!

Oh man. Just finished, I was completely enthralled the whole time! I don't know what else I can say, just totally wicked, from beginning to end. Thanks for making another great level, salieri! You're an inspiration 5 +

Hi, salieri!
I just right now tried your new level and still seat with dropped jaw. You created fantastic story, that looked and played as some good fairy tale and reminds me old school quest games as Monkey Island, Day of tentacle Disc World. WOW! Your created very beautiful environments with many cool details and very well done characters. You are real master of corner editor and stickers placement. I had much fun during gameplay and many times just stood and looked at some level's details. There is so many interesting things, that I can not understand how you put all of them in one level!
I hadn't any trouble with story and quests, everything clear form texts!

Thank you for great level with such many wonderful things again!

I gave you 5 stars and heart of course!

And I will look for something new from you!

Cool, Ive finaly got home from france (been stranded because of a stupid icelandic volcano-mabie space for another level...) and had a quick sleep. Checked the levels and there is this.

AWESOME! loved the look and feel of the level.

My favorite things- sliding benches, the puzzles, all the characters.

Improvements- longer, more brilliant characters(mabie an extremely unhelpfull one that send you in the wrong direction)

P.S. make a sequel- mabie a rabid bat hint...(just an idea- sure you could think of better). Thanks for the awesome level!

Amazing level!!!! 5 stars and heart.

Hi, salieri!
I just right now tried your new level and still seat with dropped jaw. You created fantastic story, that looked and played as some good fairy tale and reminds me old school quest games as Monkey Island, Day of tentacle Disc World. WOW!

I am really delighted that you've compared it to those games, I loved every single one you mentioned and, while it is of course totally impossible to produce anything approaching their depth and complexity in LBP, I did want to capture something of the spirit of those old 2d adventures.

SeekingTruth86:
Thanks! It's nice to know people appreciate the little details. I made that picture when I was about half way through and didn't know what to do next. Had I saved it for the end I never would have bothered with it because I'm sure it takes up loads of thermo, but after I'd made it I just couldn't bare to part with it. It's very encouraging to read how both you and Domik took in so many of the little details, I wasn't sure whether many people would appreciate the sacrificing of length in order to make a really detailed environment, but it looks like perhaps it paid off. ^_^

TheForgotten:
Another thanks! I'm almost glad you think the story was odd. I suppose it is a little off-kilter and it's kind of an anti-adventure, that starts of as what seems like a quest and turns into a low-key domestic drama with skeletons. But I do see what you're saying, there's only really half a plot and sometimes it seems to disappear altogether. I would really like to be able to write a grander, more appealing adventure but I think I'm just too cynical.

Trianglepigsquar:
Really good to hear all of your positive points, and I don't like to seem like one of those creators who refuses to take criticism, but in the case of length, I literally couldn't make the level any longer without cutting out a load of stuff that was already there. I would have loved to have extended the storyline somewhat but the thermo can be a real killjoy, and so it is as long as it could be.

I have an idea for a level some way down the line that will use a much simpler, stylised cartoon style that will allow me to squeeze in more plot, but in this instance I was aiming for detail, and it took priority over length. Also, there is a definite limit to my artistic and imaginative abilities and I'm really not sure if I ever could have come up with any more characters for this setting.

HI salieri!!

I really enjoyed playing your level, its simply one of the best RPG levels that I’ve played, the story is really entertaining, and the details for everywhere WOW!!! Just amazing!!! Easily I gave you 5 stars and a heart, and a heart as creator BTW your other levels are great too!!

[trianglepigsquar]

I now want to make a sort of magicy lvl but feel it would be sort of copying - have to make a weird and waky story then...

[SalieriAAX]

Memorex: Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed it (and my other levels).

Trianglepigsquar: Don't worry about it - I hardly hold the copyright for fantasy settings, nor do I even imagine that there is anything genuinely original in "Curses!", I'd love to see more 'magicy' levels.

Hi! I played your level and it's completely great ! I really like your characters. Not only do they look really cool, but they seem very interesting too ^^. I really can't leave proper feedback right now but I'll be sure to whenever I'm free again ^^. Anyway, I gave you five stars and a heart .

[X-FROGBOY-X]

Cool looks like I'll play this later.

Hey Salieri. I tried this level. It was awesome. Nice design and story. Travelling around the castle felt great, and the dialogue was great. I liked the look of your characters. They were amazing. Especially the fool. You've a great job with the speech riddles, an example is: isn't there's a fool enough to try it? Fun. : ) I can't find anything you could improve.

Wouldn't you try my The Gardens PSP, or my Find the Four Eggs, in my creations.

[X-FROGBOY-X]

I played this a while back,it was awesome. The characters would have to be my favorite part, they were very, very detailed. The beginning was pretty neat too, and I absolutely loved your unique style. I was a fan of RPG styled levels ever since I played one of amazingflyingpoo's levels, so that was another reason why I liked the level. Overall, this is a reallyartistic level that anyone should give a play. Keep up the great work.

I rated it and gave it a heart.

in one of the screen shots you have bright green horrible gas? how did you get it that bright? or is it that gas glitch where you change the material?
