Re: Event 6: Last Legacy Level Designing Contest

There was a lot of discussion in the planning of this that decided the time schedule. The main concern was that this CANNOT go into September, because people will be starting school. The site outage, and SK leaving changed that schedule for the worse, and now I am working doubletime to try and squeeze everything in that we can before that September deadline hits.

NEWS


I'm adding another day to this.
If people are OK with this going into September now, I'm giving the last day back and making it a full 7 days, and the Forum Hunt is pushed WAY back to after the LLLDC is all over.

Supershroom wrote:Truth be told I was always slightly wondering about why the SM63 contest lasts exactly as long as the LL one. The LL designing process is usually more time-consumpting because of colour changes, triggers, double tiling (front tiles and back tiles) and all that.

I wouldn't be against an extra day in favour of all of us.

yup, this is true too

tyvm doram, thankfully I managed to get back like an hour or two earlier than expected, though I'm not sure if I'll still have time to work on the level anyway :P

eh, I'll try regardless
Expect something cool here soon!

I did think one week for Last Legacy is pushing it, I mean come on, LL is so technical compared to SM63.

well, better post your unfinished levels than none at all and try to do as much as you can

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.

Now I desperately need an extra day or two extension, the last two days I got slammed and had zero time to work on LDing.

Then







MAKE IT HAPPEN






DO IT





JUST
