Just another welcome topic

Postby Forgotten » August 10th, 2015, 8:47 pm

Hello there, people. I've been a lurker of this place a while ago, I think I can say I'm a Mario fan, although not THAT big of a fan, since I've hardly played the newer games. I like the level designer in SM63, so I'll probably be making some levels if I had the time to be active here.
Anyway, I know SM63 has been around for years, and I've only joined now. I hope it's still active, and not forgotten (not a pun).
And no worries, I'd always read the rules when I join a new site.

Welcome to the forums. If you want to get to know a bunch of us better, you can visit our IRC here. There's usually a bunch of us active on there, but we tend to multitask, so if nobody is talking when you join, just wait a bit, conversation should pick back up.

Hey. For the most part, everyone has said what there is to say, so... welcome. Definitely check out the chat. You probably know what the forums are all about, since you said you've been a long-time lurker here, but I guess if you haven't checked out all of the subforums like Media and Serious Discussion, you can usually find interesting stuff. Also, the View New Posts feature at the top of the index page is useful if you haven't found it already (I think it's only available when you're logged in).

Levels are still a huge business indeed. We've already got some nice new talents this year. Maybe you could be the next one, who knows. You're definitely not too late.

As for the rules ... the Rules topic doesn't cover all rules especially when it's about levels. So if you're interested in LDing, you should look at this in order not to do anything wrong. It sums up everything about our unwritten Level rules. (I hope the Rules topic gets an update sooner or later)

  • Single levels (in other words, topics only dedicated to your level) are to be posted in the specific Level Portal forums (SM63 and LL) and not in the Level Designer subforums or anywhere else. Always put the level code into [code][/code] tags.
  • If you want to create a topic in the Level Series or Level Collections subforum, be sure to have at least three complete levels for that.
  • Try to make your levels as good as you can, and especially avoid mistakes such as cutoff, enemy spam, floating items and little effort in general. That way you'll avoid your level being deleted / disapproved.
  • Your first five levels on the Portal will have to be approved by Level Moderators. This means that you shall not post your level doubly and triply (believe it, it has been posted successfully and we'll look into it) or circumvent the approval system by posting it somewhere else, disregarding the first two rules. If you already have five approved levels or if you're posting in Level Series / Level Collections, levels can still be deleted if they don't fit the requirements.
  • If more than a week passes without your level being approved or disapproved, feel free to ask a moderator or level moderator through PM.
  • Don't post any topics about new things you'd like to see on the SM63 designer, because Runouw's only focus right now is Last Legacy.
  • All general rules also apply for commenting on the portal. Let your comments have a sense and when providing criticism, do it constructively, and especially avoid pointing out things that others have already said before. For more specific rules on how to comment on levels, view this thread.

Thank you, FF.

Nan's sig! From the previous Secret Santa event!: show
Rating standards: show
1 star: (0 - 5.75 in LDC) These levels need a lot of work. They're totally un-elaborated, and/or inherently flawed due to things like cutoff or enemy spam, or they're untested and there are too many bugs gameplay-wise, in short: Many many things went wrong in such a level.

2 stars: (6 - 9.75) These levels are not terrible, but poor. They're too short, lack scenery or they have errors and/or bugs but it's still barely enjoyable. Again, spend more effort and try to do better. (if it's your first level that I rate two stars, it's not bad. There's a long way you can still go)

3 stars: (10 - 12.75) These levels are about mediocre. They may be still a little bit short, the gameplay is fine but not very original and graphics are also solid, but not breath-taking. Try to keep improving!

4 stars: (13 - 15) These levels are nice, but not the best. Effort has been put into them, there can some professionality be seen in gameplay and graphics, they're a nice experience to play, but there are still things you can do to make it even better. Try to go the extra mile!

5 stars: (15.25 - 20) These are really great levels, those which, as said, I would give more than 15 in an LDC. These suffice many high requirements, and it already goes into subtleties if you want to make them better. These levels are successful all around. Bravo.

These are just general principles I try to follow when rating. Sometimes I don't leave a further comment when rating, most times I do, if you have questions about it, feel free to ask further.
