It's been so long

Postby Charcoal » September 21st, 2015, 3:15 pm

Hey. I haven't been here in a long time. 4 years is a long time. :D

EDIT: I just realized I unintentionally quoted one of my favorite 80s songs in the title: Journey's "Send Her my Love".

Silent Conversations and a Crow's Final Song!
My latest story, and one of my personal favorites. A girl bound in silence finds the words to say to her prospective girlfriend as they visit her religious father in a dusty town on the edge of Kansas, where the crows' migration south brings forth anchored memories, the path to resolution, and a new start.

Four years? Sure you don't mean almost exactly two years since your last post? :p

Anyway, welcome back. There've been some changes since you were last here, probably one of the most notable being staff stuff. I'm pretty sure the IRC server has also changed since 2013. You can get there just by clicking the "Chat" link in the top right. Also, our wiki is new, the link for which is just to the right of chat.

Nice to meet you too.
I don't know if I will stick around for too long since I do want to focus on school, but I did want to say hi.
I might try an LDC if possible (if you guys still do those). I want to test out any ideas I come up with on the designer because I feel a lot more confident in my creativity now.

Same with me. Gosh, this is so amazing, this is a sort of a climax in 2015 after the LDing scene has got numerous new talents already, and now you come back from a long hiatus with even more ambitions than you ever had. And of course we're still doing LDC's, and the next one is gonna be the 30th. I really hope we get it done this year.

Thank you, FF.

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.
