I know that this is not entirely Newgrounds related but I had a thought about the PS3 game LittleBigPlanet that is entirely related to Newgrounds.
For anyone who has not played LBP it is video game with platforming play mechanics and a huge repertoire for customization. The most notable element of the game is the "Create" section. In the "Create" section you can craft a level that could be as complex as anything you saw in the game itself, from a level filled with bad guys and daring leaps in a fiery world, or a roller-coaster ride through a Mexican villa. And not only can you create these levels, but you can upload them on the PSN's network and everyone can play your level. In a way, it is no different than submitting a movie or a flash game on Newgrounds. But what I think LBP is missing are some nifty idea's that Newgrounds has employed for quite some time. Namely, I find that a lot of really good levels created by LBP players are lost in a slew of user created crap. It would be awesome if LBP used some sort of system like Newgrounds that allows good stuff to stand out in the forefront and not just the stuff that is voted as popular.
I don't know, I know I am probably just rambling since there is really nothing I can hope to achieve by complaining on my Newgrounds blog, but still, I need to vent, and why not do it here?
I made an awesome level, it was fun, it was challenging, and it looks great. It actually took me a lot of time and a lot of work. I experimented with some new things and I even had some elements in my level that I haven't seen in any other level. But alas, my level was lost in a slew of "free trophy" and homage levels.
