[QUOTE="shadystxxx"][QUOTE="thetruespin"]Wow... this game is impressive. It amazes me how powerful the physic engine is. However, when I try and play online, I always get terrible lag. All my other games are fine. Is this just because it is a beta?

On your other point, yes the game is hugley impressive i just wish my creativity was equally impressive i just keep getting stumped for idea's, i keep making things then delating them, i made this cool gear system(like in an old clock) to move platforms along but once i finished i had nowhere to put it no level design to work with so i just saved it and now im trying to think of a proper level design to work on and hopefully finish before saturday.
You and me both. I am litterally blown away at what you can do with the game. And I know what you mean about your creativity can't keep up.
I was making this contraption the other day, and i thought "god, if it keeps spinning like that it is going to break".. and i had to snap myself out of it and realise it was a computer generated simulation. crazy. no game has managed that before (for me at least).
So much i love about this game.. and provided they get online working smoothly, i am gonna have to buy this.
Yeah i agree, the creating side of it just sucks you in, i spent around 8 hours last night just thinking of idea's for contraptions to put to use in a level.
I had one big idea of making a system of gear's which the player had to piece them together using there tools, i made all the platforms for the gears/cog's to fit onto and put all the different sized cog's into a big box and when theygot to that part of the level it would basically be a puzzle they had to solve to move on, i made it and got it working but that took me around 8 hours(also im still learning the tools so after awhile we could make things quicker) and for it to be put into a level i still needed to add some sort of visual design for them that fitted in with the level.
The problem im having is i dont have a level lol, i just have several cool idea's to use in the level but i still have not sorted out what type of level im want to make in terms of visual ****scope of the level.
I will not be able to get a level done and finished before the beta ends so im just going to keep messing around and getting the hang of how things work, as it's quite complicated.
I heard on the 1up show that the beta has only a small percentage of the content the full version will have(obviously) so i want to wait untill i have all the tools before trying to make a level that would be enjoyable for people to play.
Once i am familar with all the tools and have made a few small practice levels im going to make a "game" with 10 or so levels with some small plot to add to it, just like an old 8 bit platformer, save the princess that sort of thing nothing complicated and in depth as i couldnt do that anyway.
Little Big Planet makes me wish i was an excellent drawer or at least had some sort of imagination as it keeps stumping me on what to do, i think im just a little over whelmed at the moment with all the possibilties i need to just come up with an idea and stick with it and not try anything to grand.
I also wish i paid more attention in graphics design at school, that may have helped me a little with designing a level.
