From Community Spotlight 59:

• [LBP2] Can't get enough of this fantastic and detailed series? Then try out Deliver me from Eve: Eve's Gaol by pickled-punk!

Thanks to Midnight_Heist, SevenisaCannibal, Fumetsusozo & that mean old 'Pyrostiltskin' for their cameo's.
Thanks to SevenisaCannibal for that awesome music he is composing in his cell.

Thanks to Dinaralin, MidnightHeist, FreeAim, Tomodon246 and Rohar for playtesting the level in different stages of completion.

Republished the level, with an extra female inmate transferred to the jail...as if the cellblock wasn't full enough before. She's rather prickly... (Thanks Fumetsusozo!)

For an extra challenge, try and free all the inmates for a high score & some custom stickers (that will unlock extra features in upcoming levels).

Another brilliant level! I can't believe the rate at which you're turning them out at the moment - definitely on a roll!

This is developing into a really great series. I had a blast freeing the prisoners (and I'm proud of my pint-sized Spartacus status, lol!) and now I see that some of them are cameos I'll have to go back and have a closer look! You've really got a knack for using sackbots to add liveliness to a level.

I liked the different style of scenery in this level. It had a much more architectural feel to it which made a nice change. You had a level in the Beta using the same material. Is this a re-working of it or will that level too be remade for LBP2? It had some great puzzles in it as I remember.

The cinematic sections were good too. You've made Eve a great and very believable villain.

I have to say I'm now a bit confused about the order in which the different levels come. Is there a list anywhere of the order in which they are intended to be played ultimately?

I'm enjoying this series so much - keep'em coming!

and a heart needless to say.

Thanks Shrops!! I'll keep creating.

For the other levels I want to switch between the 'normal' city of Carcosa and the flipside domain of Interzone, the cardboard-behind-the-stage-world. I will reuse most of the stuff I used in the beta test-level (that was just called Deliver me from Eve, Cog did a good recording of it
) in an upcoming level called The Secret Workshop of Master Origami. You'll need all your secret stickering skills to solve these puzzles.

I want to use the custom stickers (such as Pint-sized Spartacus) as a sort of badges that will unlock extras in the upcoming levels, like a way to carry over achievements & experience over the levels.

Suggested order in which to play the levels:
1. Eve's Gaol
2. Carcosa City Gate
3. roam around the city districts in any way you like
a. The Moolah Nightmarket
b. Adventurers District
c. Cuckoo Clockwork Quarter (upcoming)
d. Lapsang Burial Grounds & Oolong Village
e. Electric Town (upcoming)
4a. Master Origami's Secret Workshop (upcoming)

This is a really nice level!

Great visuals, NPCs which seem alive, genius ideas and a whole lot of fun!

But one prisoner didn't come out of her cell, and two fell in the water when I had a look at the battery, so I only rescued the monkey king.

But I still got a sticker!


Eve is really scary!

...so I only rescued the monkey king.

Taken from LBP.me:
"Your layers of architecture never fail to disappoint. Your level series gets better and better with every addition, and the new level links seem to fit your stuff like a glove. The characters are very engaging also, that monkey one was particularly awesome! "
For some reason I really love ducking and weaving around all your structures.
It makes the level feel like a real gaol/city/district.

Thanks guys!

Which prisoner didn't come out of her cell, Tomodon? The anthropomorphic hedgehog girl or the one eyed red oni-girl with the lobsterclaw? (Reading that back: this sure is becoming strange...) Haven't had that problem in testing yet.

Don't know what to do about the water. Strangely enough the ' avoid danger' setting on bots does not include water. Maybe I'll put up some forbidding waypoints soon. Will have to experiment. Just steer your jail-buddies away from it in the meantime. MM should do an expansion pack for swimming sackbots!

As you've noticed I really like levels were you can take your time, wander about and explore. Did you find all the secret areas, Midnight? You need to ' draw a door' in some suspicious places to open them up. (And your monkey-king character rules btw. Back from jail to wreak havoc once more...)

Cool. was a fun level. and loved seeing my character cameo.
I LOLed when they jumped in the water to their doom. Silly sackbots.
you may want to put a tag on them and tag the water zones to make them avoid them from now on.
i have dealed with this problem in your and other people's levels before. easy fix is using tags.
and at the end i died right as i got to the scoreboard, and then got trapped in the dieing over and over
under the scoreboard bug. keep up the good work. and a tip.
make stuff move more. it takes more time but. if you look at MM levels, there is lots of stuff moving everywhere
for most of the time no reason. it looks good tho. *mew

I'm not really sure..... it was the one that, when you activated a switch, a bounce pad shot her? into the sky? She didn't come down. Maybe that was intentional?
Again, I'm not sure. A few speech bubbles closed on their own due to my shoddy controller....

[pickled-punk]

Hi Fumo, indeed nice cameo. I'll try and fix the sackbots to avoid water from now on (and I'll call for help if I don't succeed )

I know which sackbot you mean now, Tomo, it's the zebra striped one. It shoots up and lands somewhat to the left. Backtrack just a little and you'll find him, and he starts following you.

[pickled-punk]

Added some pictures.

Well I can't really said I helped too much in playtesting but thanking is always nice. This level is great, but as I think I already said, I'll review Deliver me from Eve when it's complete.

[Cheezy WEAPON]

yesss I'm going to play this. If it's as good as the beta levels I've seen, its gotta be good

[pickled-punk]

Thanks guys, more levels coming up.
I'm finishing up Lapsang Burial Grounds.

[Breezy-The-Pro]

I've just added this to my queue. Expect some feedback soon! This looks like an awesome level.
