Everyone wants to play it as soon as they get their hands on the mod. GOOD FEATURE + GREAT LEVEL = SUPERB RECEPTION. A boring or bad level will be the centre of criticism and draw away attention from features. The levels we see should have a really high standard and are very polished. We didn't need to show off a full level, so we created a demo level specifically to show the ice shard. PQ Spotlight #2 demo'd the Super Jump and the Ice Shard, with the Ice Shard being the focus feature. Either have us guess, or show them in ACTION. Do NOT showcase all your creative challenges or features, even in levels.
Shortcuts can skip on important features. Do NOT use ANY SHORTCUTS, small or big, UNLESS you're comfortable with them not destroying the level. EXAMPLE: Spotlight #5 does not show off an easy to get Time Travel. We want to figure out how to get them ourselves. Do NOT show Time Travels that are not in the way, or are harder to get, or ANY items that may produce shortcuts. PQ had several of those in the trailer/early spotlights that were revealed later on. If you DO show them, make sure they are properly hidden. More fun if the public finds it themselves. This shows how to do the best path for the level and kills its replayability instantly. If the feature isn't very obvious, do NOT go further on it. If the feature is obvious then you want to explain it and perhaps PART of it's usage. Background is the level, the skybox, scenery, GUI etc.
Make sure your screenshot's background is proper. DO show off the feature you want to show. Additional advice regarding other matters are on the bottom. This pertains to what is shown to the public in terms of screenshots, videos and level design. This is the same advice I gave many other people and mods and they haven't followed through. So because I'm in a good mood for once, I'll give good helpful info for the mod. No one complains about the camera adjustment against the one in PQ.Įveryone complains about the level design that was shown to be identical to that in PQ. No one here complains about the side-scrolling mode. Something that has been happening for couple of years now. What is being told is that the mod's "credibility" (perception) is being low because they were just outted by the community for continuing for the nth time what they were told NOT to do. And you're not being helpful because it is not happening again.
