Lovely story. I wish my mum actually shared even an ounce of interest in my gaming life. Honestly, even if I created something as nice as this, and made it as simple as possible, assuming she would actually agree to pick up the controller, she would probably spend most of the time wondering what the knobbly little sticks were for, and finally give up after 15 minutes. It's a lonely life for a gamer in my family...
You, sir, do not win a cookie. No- cookies, though magnificent, do not adequately reflect the awesomeness of this gesture. Instead, you get Christmas brownies. With M&Ms!
I basically did the exact same thing for my mother; except with a birthday theme. (As it was her Birthday.)
The article says "My level would be different though - special and private" on page one... I assume that the private part means that the author didn't publish it.RiffRaff said:And one more thing. What's the level name so I can play it? (Sure it won't have the same meaning for me, but I'd still like to give it a shot)
Hmm... you didn't make this up just so you can get Create gold trohpy?
And fantastic story.
That's an amazing story - I'm so glad that it all worked out for you.
Really makes me wish I could make the same sort of gesture (we managed to get my mother to try gaming once years ago but after several days playing 1080 Snowboarding on the N64 she stopped altogether saying that she had images of the game in her head whilst trying to get to sleep) but I don't even seem to have decent present buying instincts when it comes to my mum.

This was an interesting read, keep it up.
Thank you for the kind replies.
Unfortunately I haven't published it to LBP's level database, but you can have a sneaky peek with the images in the article

you know, here in holland, that's the kind of thing we do for the holidays.
we dont celebrate Christmas as enthusiastically as the rest of the western world, we celebrate a holiday called saint Nicolas day, and when you buy somthing for someone, you make a poem for them, and if you want to something like you did

That was an absolutely wonderful and thoughtful thing to do for your mom, and a beautifully told story, too.
Way to make me feel like an unloving, uncaring grinch since I haven't even done anything for my mom this Christmas.
This is a beautiful story, and I imagine this is the kind of ideal scenario the creators of the game had in mind when they decided to add a level editor/creator into the game. We all know that gaming has the ability to isolate us from other sects of society, particularly from our families, but this stands as an excellent model of the potential videogames and unity. Thank you!
