My son has become completely enamored with LittleBigPlanet. Which isn't that surprising. But what is surprising is what about the game that's enthralling. It's not the play that has him begging to boot up the Playstation 3 every night, but the creation.

Tristan has become a indie developer and he doesn't even realize it. He spends hours sitting in front of the television adding to his level, figuring out ways to torture gamers, defending his creation.

Watching his interest in game development grow, I suggested that he write up a letter asking for advice in game design, which I would then email off to a few developers I know.

this is Brain Crecente's kid, he's fairly well known in the industry

Hi my name is Tristan. I am 7. I am making a level for LittleBigPlanet.

I have already started my level and it has flames. It has a giraffe with a tree. It has crabs. It's really fun. When I'm finished I want it to have flames everywhere and some ghosts in it. I want it to be really scary. I was thinking of making the whole level underground. I also want people to have to jump a whole bunch. I think I will call it The Tristan Level.

Do you have advice for me about building it?

Thanks,
Tristan

Tristan, hey!

Well, it sounds like you are off to a great start with your level. Very eager to give it a play. I love to jump!

As for advice, I would say the following:

a- make sure you give the player lots of rewards for trying cool things ...

Hey Tristan!

I heard you are building a level for LBP and so far it sounds really cool! (who wouldn?t like fire and giraffes) If you are looking for an easy way to make your level as fun as possible, I wrote up a little level design tidbit that was often used when we were building the environments for the Metroid Prime series.

Sure.

When in doubt, add zombies and exploding barrels. Your review score is guaranteed to go up by at least 3 points across the board.

obviously he has a problem with giraffes making him worse than hitler because only hitler would hate giraffes, NO ONE HATES GIRAFFES (except evil people)

I fail to see how his remark makes him an ass, it's just a lame reply
 
He's just mad cause we still call him Cliffy B.

he was responding to a 7yr old, he could have been helpful like the other two ..anyways, he's an ass, no big deal, just thought the letter from the 7yr old was cute and I like giraffes ..do you have something against giraffes? <pulls out knife>
 
Cliffy B gets bigger on the "Knob-o-meter" by the day.
 
Eh, I don't think CliffyB is an ass (at least, not because of this post). He does annoy me a little, though. Was he trying to be sarcastic?
 
He was joking...and I thought it was a bit funny, too.
Besides, even if you hate him you can't do anything about it, if you try to confront him you'll just drown in the incredibly deep azure pools that are his eyes, just like all of his other enemies.
 
I dont know who cliffyB is, but that comment doesnt make him an ass at all. It was a lame (but true) joke, and not in anyway mean spirited, except maybe towards valve.
 
It seems like perfectly innocent lame joke. But yes, he is an ass anyway. Everyone knows that.
 
Hes a top hat cat? He must be a douche.

Hasn't Gears of War been praised by every major-yet-full-of-idiots gaming source in the industry? I don't see what he's bitching about.

Maybe he's just pissed that he's still making mediocre shooters for the masses after a decade plus in the industry
 
that cliffy guy is just some dumb ass that since gears of wars got so much fame he pulls out his inner super ego

"oh yeah I am the director of gears of wars so hear my words,more explosions and stuff like that cuz is *waves hand*Awsome!"
"will stop doing that whit your hand when you say awsome in such a dumb way?"
"no,cuz is *waves ha-"
"stop it"
 
Best answer was the Armature studios fellow, I loved the pictures and his comments are relevant and easy to understand. Jaffe and Cliff are such RL trolls.
 
I'll bet that the majority of people hating on gears haven't even played it, or haven't played it for more than a few minutes.


HEY YOU SEE THAT NEW MOVIE IT'S AWESOME AS HELL!!

NO I HAVEN'T, BECAUSE IT SUCKS!

/facepalm

It's much easier to get over something you can't have, apparently.


Take off your trenchcoats and stay a while, Cliffy is bad ass.

What's the deal with LBP anyway?

Little Big Planet is a new multiplayer PS3 game that, except for the slightly okey-doke physics, looks very slick. Not my type of game, but it's sure to be a hit, with 7 year olds especially. It's got some sandbox elements and I'd definitely check it out at a Kiosk or something if I saw it.

Youtube videos


EDIT - damn, I thought you were asking wtf it is.

I'm leaving.

I played it, and beat it, and thought it wasnt very good.
 
Then you like terrible games.


Plus you're lying, because you told me about the steam version of Deus Ex: IW working on vista, so I know we have at least one game in common.


EDIT: Nevermind, that wasnt you. Yeah, you like shitty games.

No, it's like this. Do you like Gears? No? Wow, okay, did you like Half-Life 2? No? WOW, okay okay, well did you like Doom 1 or 2?

I don't know if I can be friends with you or not until further investigation.
 
Gears, no, hl2, obviously yes, doom 1 or 2, never played them until later and they sucked in comparison to modern games.


And Willie is gay for Deus Ex.
 
No. Deus Ex is gay, and I'm a heterosexual monkey. Therefore, Deus Ex x gay = divided by Pi plus small children.
 
He just said it's given a bad rep. I'm not sure that he meant he thinks it's incredible.

You cant start one side of an equality with a division sign, so you're wrong. Therefore, Deus Ex x awesome = willie^gay
 
That may be, but I masturbate more than you.

Anywho...I got nothing on the topic. :/
 
Heh, cute. Awesome letter from the Metroid guy, and I lol'd at (and agreed with) the comment on commenting.

Or Capcom. Cliffy kind of comes across as a douche sometimes, but I think you guys are possibly reading too much into this...

Also, why does Kotaku keep calling him "dude huge?"

I guess they needed a douchier title than "CliffyB". To indicate his transcendence from mere douche to colossal mega-douche.
