Matthew (UpwindSpade)'s Levels
« Thread Started on May 18, 2012, 9:46am »
Hey you all! I made something when i got bored, I was thinking of weirdos, so I made my first level. This level is for beginners who don't have fun with harder levels, because this one is as easy as whip creaming pie. I don't know how to make pictures, and i messed up on the time. I put 002500 even though the ultimate time is 025000. So just fix those and ultimate time will be 25 seconds. I hope you enjoy it!


I still have to get used to using mediafire. I'll do that on my next one.

EDIT: This is for beginners, as i said.

Oh, and give me feedback, like a beginner player would. On scale of 1/10. How easy was it?

The Marble Clusters caught me by surprise, haha. But since they don't seem to hinder my movement (not sure if they're supposed to or not), this level was pretty easy with the exception of some tricky long jumps. 7/10

The level is missing interiors. Please provide a download link for those. If you post them soon, I will review your level tomorrow. ;)

Actually I believe this might be because the file directory paths within the .mis file are leading to non-existant folders. The interiors are there for sure.

Ok, thanks. I changed the interior directories in the .mis file and now it works.

Also, I can tell this was made in the LE. Maybe you should try constructor or Quark?

Best time I could get was 10.00 maybe you should revise the Ultimate time and add a Platinum as well.

The following is Buzzmusic100:

Yeah, this is pretty easy. It's nice how you used other marbles in this. That's something we don't see a lot.
Although next time, try to use more creative gameplay elements. I'm not trying to insult your level, I'm just trying to give you helpful criticism. :)
One thing I like about this level is the replayability. This level is just really fun to get good times on. So you triumphed with fun factor! My best time is 8.75 so far.
I found the easter egg, but I didn't actually get it yet. It's tricky.
BTW, be sure to try out Constructor or QuArK.
Creativity/originality: Just some jumping, but the easter egg is nice. 3/10. Sorry.
Fun factor/replayability: This is just really fun to play (especially for beginners) and I love trying to improve my times with this. 9/10
Level editing/presentation: You said "thisplace" in the description. Nothing outstanding in the level itself. But the marbles kind of being scenery was cool. 6/10
Final score: 6/10.
I'm just trying to give you some level building advice. Every level builder gets better and better as they continue. ;)

Thanks for critisism! This wasn't intended to be a 'masterpiece'. For me, it was something to do to pass the time. Wow. I do have spelling errors, almost like MBFuture. About quark, constructor. I have constructor, but have NO IDEA how to use it. And I dont know where to get QuArK.

I should have added a super jump to make it easier to get easter egg. And thanks for the scenery compliments. I have no problem with critisicm, it just makes you better. I really like the comments. My next level will be much better. Also, like I said, I dont know how to use constructor nor do i know how to use QuArK, or where to get it.

QuArK you can google it but I don't recommend using it if you're new/young. It has a steep learning curve and we recommend it to advanced level designers only.

These two threads will help you with QuArK and Constructor. If you have questions, we're happy to help; post them in the Level Building board.

Here's another level I made in my spare time. It's for MBP, and it includes my first dif, too! On scale of 1/10 on difficulty, I will give it a 3. Still havent got used to making levels, but I'll get the hang of it. So I hope you enjoy it! And be sure to comment me on it, too.


EDIT: Oh, and its my first time using constructor.

EDIT2: Just put MattInteriors into interior folder, the interiors wont work if you just open it and put them in.

For a first Constructor level, this was pretty good! Once again, there's high replayability. My best time is 4.06 seconds. Did you make that tunnel-ish structure near the finish? Those were some great curves!

You're progressing with levels and it's cool that you're getting into more functions in MBP. Level builders always get better and better.

BTW, just as a tip, be sure to try out multiple styles of levels. There are many to choose from. You're pretty good at making replayable levels but you never know if there's a different style of level building that you might be good at as well. :) - Buzzmusic100

Hey guys! I made another mini-level, just a practice, as I am new to constructor. It's about gems (kids) who are scattered around a world made of sand. I hope you like it!

EDIT: Oh, and dont get the interiors out of the file. Just put the Matts 2nd level file into interiors.

"Nice job! Pretty cool level. Reminds me of some of the old CLA levels with this sort of style. I'm sure pathfinders will love to play this one. :) I was thinking maybe the sand platform could've been a little smaller, and perhaps some more work on alignment as well, but those are my only suggestions and I understand this is a "practice". Can't wait till you become more experienced with Constructor! Practice makes perfect." - Buzzmusic100

EDIT: I seem to be missing an interior because there are diamonds floating where I can't quite get them. ???

Hey you guys! I just made another level, and it's about tightropes! I know, in level making try to stay away from tightropes, but these are for the beginners learning how to use tightropes before they go onto more advanced tightropes. Give me feedback, and I hope you like it!

"This level had a great amount of fun in it and I was surprised to see that in a tightrope level. If you can make a tightrope level fun, you can make any level fun. :) I got 46.27 seconds on my first try.

One thing I would suggest is scenery. This isn't a necessity, but it would enhance the look. Normally it's quite easy to make. Also alignment. If you make one big interior instead of many smaller ones, you can make neat alignment with the snap-to-grid function rather than aligning stuff in the level editor.

As always, you are progressing with level building quickly. Just keep doing what you're doing!" - Buzzmusic100

Hey! I finally made a picture for you guys to see for this next level. I've seen hard levels around this level topic, but here is one that isn't easy, but isn't hard! [image]

I hope this doesn't count as double-posting...

Ok, here's his review:


"Cool level. The challenges in this level are nice, the diamond placement was good and once again, the replayability was great!

I have a suggestion. You're a good builder for short levels, but maybe you could try making a long level and see if you're good at that genre as well. See what you can come up with.

The only other suggestions I really have are mentioned in my previous review. So once again, good luck with the rest of your interior making!" - Buzzmusic100
