[LBP - LBsA] special IT'S ART drop
Not a tonne to say about these levels except for they're absolutely gorgeous, and go way harder than it feels like LBP2 should have been capable of.
Both of them are relying almost exclusively on hand-drawn paint-mode stickers, wiv just a few necessary gameplay elements (switches and point bubbles mainly), which is just wild. LBP usually struggles wiv having too many stickers on screen, and a lot of times you'll see them getting pixelated, or sometimes not even appearing, but i don't think that happens even once in either level?
It's hard to pick which of the two i like more. RED MACHINE CITY is probably the more fun vis-a-vis playing of the two; it's a big chonky level wiv lots of interactions wiv the environment, and lots of searching around for secrets and progress points.
Buuuuut, Transparent is honestly just shockingly beautiful. To the extent i worry a bit that the video really conveys it, given how YouTub crunches things up, and also i was having to fiddle through a bunch of potential render settings at the time. Hopefully you'll get a good feel for what it's like, but the best option is, as always, playing it yourself, so go grab the both of them off the Dry Archive, eh?

Shite, i gotta run, or i'll be late to work.
