You can find all of these levels by searching for the name "Hymanator" in the Little Big Planet Community menu. "Sack to the Future" is based off of the movie "Back to the Future". You ride in the time machine, travel back to 1955, and then ride back to 1985. This was my first attempt at making a level. Since this video was made, I went back and made a ton of cosmetic improvements. The current version has the following additions (not seen in the video): - Fire trail appears after time travel - remote control has speedometer that measures up to 88mph - street lights/decorations in mall parking lot - when you travel to 1955, added forest and crash-through-barn sequence - Docs house looks very similar to his house in the movie - Added rain effects during lightning sequence - Time machine will now fly toward you at end of level - other minor tweaks (no more ugly dark matter is visible, etc)
"Sack to the Future part 2" is based off of the movie "Back to the Future part 2". You start out in 1985, travel to 2015 to prevent your future son from getting in trouble, travel to an alternate "evil 1985", and finally end up travelling back to 1955. The level has been updated since the video was made (no more dark matter ground, etc). Making levels has definitely been a learning process, and every time I learn a new trick, I try to go back to my old levels to update them.
"Sack to the Future part 3" is based off of (you guessed it) "Back to the Future part 3". In this level, you start out in 1955, find out that "Doc" is in 1885, and end up travelling there to prevent him from getting shot by "Mad Dog". To get home you have to use a train to push the time machine to 88 miles per hour. This level wraps up the "Sack to the Future" trilogy, and I hope you enjoy playing them as much as I did making them. I debated doing a "Sack to the Future: The ride" level, but when I heard about LBP creator "The Wiggler" working on one, I figured he could have a go at it. If he decides not to, maybe I will look into it.
"Out of this Little Big World" is based off of the classic pc/console game "Out of this World". (Outside of the USA it is known as "Another World"). You play as a scientist conducting a "particle acceleration" experiment, when suddenly something goes wrong and you are teleported to another world. The first time I ever played this game was on Super Nintendo, and my jaw dropped when I saw how fluid all of the animations and cut scenes were. This game made me felt like I was in a movie, and I felt compelled to play it from beginning to end - even though it was frustratingly difficult at times. Most of the younger gamers out there have never even heard of this game, and it's shame that there hasn't been a Wii/360/PS3 downloadable version yet. You can enjoy it on PC at least. I surprised even myself when I managed to squeeze most of the key elements from the game into my level. This level is a tad bit on the difficult side, so study the video and use it as a strategy guide if you get stuck. "New York Party" is sort of a gag level I made. It's inspired mostly from movies like "Cloverfield" and "Godzilla". I figured it would be funny to call the level "New York Party" instead of something obvious like "Monster Attack" to help surprise the player more. You start out at a party on top of a skyscraper, the roof gets knocked off, you jump down to the street, run through a subway, and then fight the monster head on. |
