Just published my first level. Some very original ideas if I do say so myself including a real rain storm which I think is pretty darn cool. Hope you like it.

gera that was awesome playing with you tonight. I loved that room that we stickied the shit out of ^ ^ lol!!!
As for your level, it was awesome, the atmosphere was nice. You should just try to add some more decorations and maybe make it possible to either harvest or save only. because I did both. lol. That was funny :P.

 What an idiot I am.  Just realized that I didn't even give you the title of my level.  It is called "Accidental Deputy".  It was a good learning experience.  I'm pretty proud of it, but I definitely realize I have a long way to go to catch up to some of the great LBP artists out there.  Seriously!  Damn!  Some of you are amazing!

 The rain was actually easier than it may look.  I simply created a single raindrop and then put several emitters on a cloud.  I set the timing of each to stagger the fall and set the lifetime of each drop to dissolve as it hit the ground.  I just replicated the cloud many times over, added some rain and thunder sound effects and had a lightning bolt appear.  Voila, instant storm.  I actually had to scale back the number of drops per cloud because it caused some big time slowdown in my level.  There used to be 11 per cloud, now there's 6.  The framerate may still dip in the level sometimes, but that's not something I can help for.  It's game limitations, which is slightly disappointing.  Hopefully you'll like my short underwater sequence as well.  My bad guy at the end admittedly needs work, but my 4 yr. old thought he was funny.  I made him before I had a full grasp of the physics and gadgets, but he's still kinda cool.

Just played a few excellent levels I'd like to recommend. "Hare-razing Heights" "Centralia-A Ghost Story" & "Kingsword Ep. 1"
