Hey!

Postby helloburp » May 17th, 2017, 10:30 am

I just wanted to introduce myself, I'm helloburp and will most likely be contributing levels to SM63, although I might delve into last legacy if I have time and want to try something new.

I mostly signed up because of nostalgia, I have very fond memories of this website from back when I was really young, and with my newfound game design skills I'm excited to see what I can create revisiting the level editor after more than 6 years.

If anyone has any tips (preferably obscure) for level design specifically for SM63, I'd love to hear them!

Welcome back helloburp! Nice to have another designer on the scene - you definitely ought to give LL, it offers a lot more.

We're normally quite active on our Discord channel. Feel free to chat with us. If you have any questions, ask anybody (particularly us orange people).

Sorry guys I removed the done date because I have way less time to make SM63 levels now.
Rating Standards: show
This is my Portal rating standards:
I give every level a overview with a total of 100 points.
1. Difficulty(20 points): I will take points off depending on how far has the level been beyond easy or hard. But generally, most of the levels should get full points on this.
2. Graphics(10 points): I will take points off depending on how laggy this level is. Again, generally, most of the levels should get full points on this.
detailed standards on this:
>25 fps: 10/10
20-25 fps: 6-9/10
15-20 fps:1-5/10
<15 fps:0/10
3. In-game playing(40 points): This score shows how fun, playable and unique this level is.
detailed standards on this:
30-40:excellent
20-30:good
10-20:ok
<10:poor
4. Other(30 points):I will give points on this depending on how well does the level use the tiles and items(15 points each).And all points from special rules are added here.
Overall:
0-29/100:1☆
30-49/100:2☆
50-69/100:3☆
70-89/100:4☆
>90/100:5☆

!!!Special Rules!!!
1. If I see any cutoffs-any at all, at least 10 points will be lost.
2. If level does not fit theme, 25 points will be lost.
3. If there's anything that's extraordinarily inspiring and unique, I will add extra points.
4. The harshness of my rating, that means how strict I am while rating the level depends on how long has the author been designing.
5. If there're any flaws that doesn't pertain to all rules above, I will deduct points within reason.

EDIT 1(April 11): decreased the amount of the points given for laggy and bad game playing
Previous Quotes(chronological order): show
Why, Impossible......

My level judgement is very harsh.

A level, just like a person, is Never perfect.

Every time you have more of an item, that item becomes less valuable.

Welcome back. In all honesty, most of the activity these days is on the Discord chat, aside from our Level Designing shenanigans. Be sure to stop by, and I'm sure you'll find everything you remember.

ftfy :3

Anyway, welcome back to the forums, I hope you have a lot of fun here!

Since you are interested in level designing, I think you might be interested in the LDC we're having right now. It's tons of fun, and it'd be awesome to see you there.

ahem

Well, with the shameless advertising out of the way, if you have any questions about level designing, feel free to shoot me and the other staff people a PM, or go to discord, where I'm pretty sure people would be more than happy to answer them.
