Publishing 101 - Media Molecule's guide for better levels |
Ó
For those who've just started playing LittleBigPlanet, here's some much-needed help from Media Molecule. It's Publishing 101 right here and you're invited to sit in. Here's today's lesson:
Title: the first trick is to draw potential players into your level with catchy and informative titles. Titles such as "Unnamed" and "My First Level" won't draw too much attention since people won't know what it's all about. Give your level a nice, creative title.
Badge: this is one of the things that potential players will see, so make it good - a round badge with bold colors would be great. Badges don't look good when they've got too much detail, so don't waste time and effort going all-out with your badge.
Descrption: Write a few lines on your level's description so people will know what to expect from your level. Sometimes, a good description will make that difference in getting people to play.
Location: Where to publish the badge? If you put it where everyone is, more people may run into your badge, but there's gonna be lots of other badges there too. You can try putting it in a less crowded area where you can stand out, but there won't be a lot of people there to run across your badge there. It's up to you to weigh the pros and cons.
Uploading pictures: MarkS of Media Molecule says, "When you take a Photo (including PhotoBooth photos) they are saved into ‘My Pictures’ in Popit. Find the Photo you want to Upload and press the Square Button and a menu will appear with lots of options, Upload being one of them. Any Uploaded pictures will appear in the Level Information when Players select your Badge. Don’t panic if they don’t pop up straight away, it can take maybe 10-20 minutes for your Photos to appear."
Advertise: If you really want people to know about your level, spread the word, the internet is all yours. All you'll need is a place where people will see it. You may try these sites:
Most of these tips you've probably done by now. So for the rest of you who've gotten adept in the ways of LittleBigPlanet, why don't you give newcomers a hand as well?
