sign.... looks like i'll have to enter next month's contest (if there is one).
Too bad i'm on a tight schedual for a while

[sorry about my english]

I'm entering this contest. I'm not really good in creating platformer, but I'll do my best .

I found the rules really clever, pushing you to create in a different way.

I have a question about the number of player allowed into the level : I think my level will probably be 1 Player only. Does it matter ?

Ideally, your level should be single player playable

Hello,I have a doubt,for example,If a level made Co-op win the contest...who win the crown? who publish the level? or mabye one crown for each person who participates in the level?

You can create in co-op, but remember there is only 1 crown (the crown will be awarded to the PSN ID under which the level is published)

cheers,

In my level's intro you slide down a hamster tube (you cannot move while your sliding down, since that part is a small cutscene) and when you slide out, you arrive at the safe zone. Is this okay? Because once you're at the safe zone you can't climb back up the tube, and you have no control while your sliding down as well.

[Thegide]

That's fine nkrasn11.

[LOLinator v1.02]

Quick question. can a safety zone be too small? I was just thinking of making it this (-) big.

It's up to you, but we guess you'll find something balanced that won't make gameplay frustrating

[onaga666]

Awesome, I'm not very good when it comes to platform design but i'll try this anyway.
I'll start building A.S.A.P but I have exams so I just hope i'll finish it in time. :/

i have a question: so im doing a level where you fly around to find a key to save da-vinci but(theres allways a but) i dont know if i can put a controllinator for sackboy to go on if not could i use a sackbot?

[Frankehh]

It's been said a thousand times, controlinators are not allowed. Even if its to remote a sackbot. There's a really small permission in the first post, but it says that sakboy must not be involved.

I find it very very unfortunate that some people entering a contest dont even read the freaking rules. Seriously people, comon. NO, you can NOT use controllinators.

[RtooDee2]

I have started on my level and once again the themo is rising at a fast pace, so my question is...

Can i have it in two parts, linking together as one level? (i think the answer is probably yes but i need to check) and..

Is an elevator/lift within the rules? I make it small. (and again this is a yes im guessing...but if you don't ask ect)

Ok then, im off to create land and i will check back later. C ya.

In response to the "NO DCS" Rule, Could I use a blank one as safe zones? So the moment you detach you're back into the action?

You can level link if you wish, but keep in mind we're looking for about 5-10 minutes of gameplay.

Of course elevators are allowed, but that does not except them from the guidelines. Consider how sackboy interacts with the elevator.

[Aqua the Hedgehog]

now I know I can't use controllinators, but what if we use them to prohibit a move. for example: what if we have the player hanging on a ball, the screen cuts away, the player jumps into a controllinator that connects to a sackbot that has all of the abilities except letting go of the object he's grabbing (and the sackbot looks exactly like the player, size and all, including the world around him).

and yes, I did read the rules. twice. but you can never be truly sure until the question is asked.

[iNexsus]

Hahaha! I have the greatest idea in mind for this...
