Give it a try. Surprise ribbonists exist as well as growing skills and practice makes perfect and such

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?

It's kinda funny how you simply copied that from SM63 because in LL there's hardly any lag and loading times at all, especially within 4000 tiles. This is better:

Is there some awesome trigger usage or other innovativeness in your level, or is it just simply generous? Are there any bugs? Is there a really nice detail the judges liked about your level?

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.

Agreed. You never really know if they are award winning until they start winning awards. ;P

Give it your best, and see what happens. :awe:

There is lag, but it's mostly CPU related or if you're like me and go over-detailed with items.

I've lagged it too, but only on the online version. I developed a level once on the downloaded version (never submitted), and when I tried to work on it online, it lagged horribly. (Which is why I never submitted it. My forest. My beautiful forest.)

The only thing that makes me lag in the LL designer is water. Stick as many items in it as you want and I won't lag, but one set of water will cause massive slowdown for me.

Major credit goes to l.m for this!

You CAN go smaller. You just can't go bigger.

I won't be able to work on my level for a good 5-6 hours, if not more, for the entirety of today. Can I request a day extension?
Expect something cool here soon!

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.
