[rialrees]

It should be up sometime today, all depending on Spaff's workload

[OneEyedBanshee]

Pfffffffffft.... workload? All he does is play LBP2 all day.

[Mr_Fusion•]

Lol, it is in the newsfeed now! Hopefully everyone gets a chance to support the community and gets to play some/all of these levels.

And, hopefully you like the hub. If you don't, or have any suggestions; don't be shy in voicing them.

[Brixx101]

Awesome work Spotlight Team!! quite a nice 'n' healthy lookin Hub with the more picks this time . also luv'n the Nodinator idea too, looks great and has that secret "black market goods" feel to it

[LittleBigDes]

Absolutely love it, especially this area:



So now those worthy of a honourable mention are included. I kept jumping up and down on the button just to see how random it was before playing one.

Came across this little random beauty too:


Alas he only has 1 heart. LittleBig Bowling By JonhyXtreme. What a random but pleasant surprise.

Thanks team for the spotlight! We worked very hard on that series and for it to be put up with the best of the best means alot! Thanks again!

[Mr_Fusion•]

Glad you like the Nod-inator, I know that the team were worried about the honorable mentions, and we wanted to make sure that they were recognised, but also portrayed differently than Spotlighted levels.

It should be pretty random (I hope) I spent a lot of time setting up the emit logic. It's great that people think it has a bit of a risky vibe as it sets fire to the wall. I'm glad that it's also fun to use. Ria did a great job of integrating it into the main Hub area too!

The LBPCentralHub account is getting a lot of traffic and comments, however, most are Mm related suggestions about level packs and game feature requests... Not much we can do about that! So any suggestions about what you would like the account to represent about LBPC are welcome.

Thanks for the spotlight guys I'm glad y'all enjoyed playing it!

[Liquid_Blood_]

Wow, thank you so much for nominating The Javelin Circuit!! As a creator passionate about my craft, I have to ask, what is it that's holding it back from being fully spotlighted? Do I need more innovation, better visuals, more complex logic, etc.? Is there anything I can do to get The Javelin Circuit spotlighted in the future, or is this as far as it'll ever go and I just need to keep pumping new stuff out? I much appreciate your advice!

Congratulations everyone!!!

[Mr_Fusion•]

I left feedback on my impressions of the level in the showcase thread. I really liked the start and the theme, but had a lot of trouble with the main game mechanics, feeling that they were just not fully polished. The spotlight crew play the new levels that are posted each fortnight, so revisiting a level is unlikely, some people re-post a thread which is a little naughty, and most of the crew have good memories so will see if a level pops up again and skip it. So I'm sorry to say, it cant really be spotlighted again.

But participate in F4F and polish up the mechanics, if in the future you make a second part that plays better it may have a chance.

[Liquid_Blood_]

Hi Mr_Fusion, thanks for the info! I wasn't sure how it worked. I know it's too late to be spotlighted, but I do hope you'll revisit The Javelin Circuit at least for yourself. I did address the issues you brought up by changing the cameras and adding a new checkpoint at a key location. What you had an issue with was right at the circuit's beginning, but the style of gameplay and environments change quite dramatically many, many times as you go along. I'd hate for you to miss out on all the cool stuff that happens later on (not to mention the extra bonus rooms off the beaten path) and I'd love to hear what you think of the rest of it.

[The_Lil_JoKeR]

Say this isnt the place to talk about this I would assume but, How can ppl get pick for a spotlight on LBPC? Thats all I been trying to do

[stryder12]

Thanks for another series of great levels! Enjoyed all of them!

And thanks for the pick on Uprooted as well =D Surprised me with that one! But I'm glad it was appreciated and hope to share the sequel (currently be created) with the community too!

Hmmm I play your levels a lot but I go back to you planet and you delete them. They need to be there for a full spotlight cycle for starters

The shots I have seen for your next level look amazing I hope to play it soon, but don't rush! There is a lot of cool levels out there, and I think people publish too soon a lot of times because they get so excited.

Yes that's very true. Can be annoying when people do that. For example I hearted a creator, they had a very unique level now when I go back there isn't a single level there so it looks like I have hearted someone for no reason. As for not rushing, yes I fully agree, never publish until it's been polished up (test test & test again for errors, glitches, so it's problem free as you can make it) & you're happy with it as it can make a diffeence between a yay, boo or no rating at all. Minor things can alway be after and republished as long as it isn't game breaking.

Anyway enough of me going on, I actually came here to say that I have this in my queue.

Thanks but yes it will be a while till that level is out. I am trying to tie in the 2 seasons for gameplay with each other so it will be a while. not to mention I am working on other levels as well.
