Again, welcome back! It is time for the...
THEME

RULES
AWARDS
REPRESENTATIVESThe five teams have each chosen one member to represent them in this event. These 5 members are:
For Blue Team:
For Team Super:
For Green Team:
For Team Dark:
Definitely an interesting match up.
But remember, THIS IS AN OPEN COMPETITION!
This means the contest is not limited to these 5 reps: EVERYONE CAN ENTER!
If 6 people or more enter (which means we just need one more), normal LDC first, second and third medals will be awarded to the winner!
Also, similarly to normal LDCs, fourth place will be rewarded if we get more than 8, fifth place if we get more than 10, and 6th place if we get more than 12.
THEMEAs always, in an LDC you have to make a level which fits certain requirements, whether it's a specific theme or certain restrictions... This time around, it is...
Spoiler: show
Your level must not exceed 4000 tiles in TOTAL area.
To verify that your level fits the requirements, go to Course Info and multiply the height of your level by the width of your level. That means that even empty tiles will be counted. For example, a 200x20 level will be accepted, or a 40x100 level, or a 63x63 level (that is the largest square possible, what a nice coincidence) but not 64x64, 300x20 or anything bigger.
The theme of your level is up to you.
JUDGINGThe levels will be judged using the normal system. Totally didn't copy this from the last LDC:
- Gameplay: 10 points out of 20
- This category judges how the playstyle of your level is. Is your level fun, or is it frustating? Is there something innovative in your level, or is it boring? Is it a puzzle, a story, or a platformer? If so, is it well executed?
Scenery: 5 points out of 20
- This category judges the scenery of your level. Is your level beautiful, or is it really ugly? Is the decoration well placed, or are there floating items everywhere? Did you place the tiles in a beautiful way, or do they look plain boring?
Miscellaneous: 5 points out of 20
- This category judges everything else about your level that was not included in the two categories above. In this category, you start with 3 points, and then the judges will add or take points for things you have done right or wrong.
Is there lag, or spam in your level? Is there too much loading time? Is there a really nice detail the judges liked about your level?
The levels will be judged by and I (). If anyone EXTERIOR TO THE RUNOLYMPICS is willing to judge as well, feel free to PM us or post in this topic! We will consider your offer.
RULESThey are very similar to the Art Contest:
General:
- Your level must be done specifically for the contest. Anything made before the contest won't be allowed.
- Participants can only submit one entry.
- Level series are allowed, but similarly, the total area taken by every level COMBINED must not exceed 4000 tiles.
- Collaborations are allowed but are limited to two people and representatives can not take part in one.
Concerning team representatives:
- Team representatives can ask their teammates for ideas, concepts or feedback. However, team representatives have to work on the level they submit ON THEIR OWN.
- It will NOT be possible to change your representative during the contest. If your representative fails to deliver a level in time, you will get last place by default.
