Here is my point:
PLOT.
Have an original plot. Word it so that people will get interested and download it. I won't download the best level in the world if the description sounds like it was written by a 5-year-old. The stroy of Lando has been told already. Make your own characters... it makes things much more interesting.
There is a good article on this: http://www.massassi.net/articles/sp.htm
BTW, may I notice, that due to the fact that JO levels overrun Massassi, JK is dying. JO is a good game, but nothing can beat JK, which we so promtly love (or at least, I do). I think JO must go on www.massassi2.net
I did not yet play the level, so cant comment on that :)
Second, this plot was NOT stolen. In JO, you just have to find your lightsaber in a maze, where there are no threats of characters with blasters, or Gorc, or anything else. You just have to find it. In this level, the bad guy has stolen the lightsaber and it's your job to get it back from him. If you don't see the difference, keep staring at these words, and maybe they will the next time you read them.
Your rating is rude and totally unwarranted. Did you even bother to d/l and play it? Or have you made the same mistake that bobafett_765 made by jumping to conclusions?
here are some things to ponder.
it is his first level.
first things are never perfect.
it is almost impossible to come up with a truly original, exciting plot. his is good.
have you ever tried making a level?
why don't you and see what it is like, and how difficult?
you would probably change your thinking after you did.
he made this level for YOU.
he made this level for YOU, and anyone else with JO, for that you should be thanking him. sure, its ok to give him suggestions for things he could change or make better next time, but its not ok to start bashing his hard work that. why don't you make some levels and maybe you'll see it is very difficult to create a level that just works, let alone come up with a good plot.
to sum it up:
making a level is hard, don't bash other people's first one.
lando, don't let these people disourage you. there are people who WILL appreciate your hard work and effort, so just ignore people that want to look for things wrong.
Lando, you really do have talent in this, and I hope you continue your work. There's some good stuff here.
-okay, but if you know your level is bad or not good enough don't release it. I'm not saying don't release first levels but bad levels and betas shouldn't be released, not in this way.
first things are never perfect.
-see above
it is almost impossible to come up with a truly original, exciting plot. his is good.
-you're right with that, but his isn't really that great...
have you ever tried making a level?
-yeah...
why don't you and see what it is like, and how difficult?
-it's not that difficult to create something looking better than that.
This is not against the author or anybody it's just what I'm thinking. The level is not bad for a first try...
2. WAR_BIOHAZARD: Yes I'm ignoring that people (i dont like them).
3. I made this 1st level before Jedi Outcast was released :D (MUUHAHAHAHA) :D
4. Somebody can tell me where I can find freewere :P skin (and 3do, if it's needed) of Han Solo and Lando Calrissian?
But geez people, lighten up! This poor guy prolly worked really hard this *original* plot of his, and then you guys treat him like an idiot. The bad man bit was probably a lighthearted joke. Jeez, the best names in level editing (such as AKPiggot) use the same types of humor all the time.
Now I am going to play the level, and I will return with my opinion.
My only two criticisms- too short! I wanted more!
and some of the textures are a bit messed up, but then, I see that a lot.
And all you guys who are making fun of this level- go play it, mmkay?
Classics like Stole the Bottle cracked me up, and fighting Gorc who is almost impossible made me grin... and run!
I like this level, and gave it 7, for all those people that judge a level by 2 words.. go play the level! The guy that sotle the saber was a bad man! He was hardly gonna put a bad word and at least he wasn't boring by saying "a sith stole your saber" he was original...
The 'bad man' joke was probably A JOKE. The actual game dosn't say 'bad man'.
Also, is English your first language, Lando?
-Anakin Skywalker (aka Darth Vader)
I predict that Lando will go far in making levels for jk. Biohazard was right, making levels is hard. This is a near-perfect level (for a first try). 9/10.
Scores (5 is about the average rating):
~ Visual artistry: 6 out of 10. Not that much to look at, no interesting special effects, cutscenes, etcetera. But it was nice and clean and not overwhelming, the lighting was superb, and your texturing was OK. There was an easily correctable HUGE Hall of Mirrors effect where the conveyor is. That lost you one point.
~ Plot: 6 out of 10. New and interesting. Kyle has to deal with a common thug stealing his property. Very nice. The description was kinda odd, though. Neatness in the way the Loading and Objectives screens were designed count partly in this category and partly in Visual.
~ Fun factor: 7 out of 10. I didn't get bored, frustrated, or confused, and I had a good time playing with Gorc and stealing the weapons of all the Stormies in the hangar and herding them into the elevator shaft to be smooshed. Your clean flow helped you a lot here.
~ Level layout and integrity: 7 out of 10. Too short, some parts didn't make sense (the baddies and turrets in the med center really didn't make much sense, but that's forgivably small), and it could have used a few twists and turns. I did like the trick with the sewage waterfall where if you don't launch yourself off it really far you slam into the floor and die. Most players would tend to hug the wall as closely as possible and therefore get crunchen :)
Overall score: 7. Truly great for a first level.
