The LDC Checklist

Thumbs up x3

Postby SuperMIC » December 27th, 2011, 3:12 pm

Hi guys... For the general good of the public (and mainly for me :3 ) I thought I'd make a checklist of things that should be done before you submit an entry to an LDC... or any level to the website, for that matter.




1. Is the start point in the right place?
2. Did you check over all of the doors and pipes and made sure they aren't broken? Are there doors and pipes where there should be? (e.g. checkpoint pipes)
3. Did you check for any ways your level can be skipped?
4. Did you brick up necessary level transitions, and if there is a pit next to the transition, did you put a stationary moving block underneath it?
5. Did you delete all corrupted tiles after expanding your level?
6. Did you PLAYTEST your level?
7. Did you get others to playtest your level?
8. Did you meet all of the requirements of the LDC?




Right, that's it. Thanks. Feel free to give me some extra points if you want, lol. XD

Nice checklist. Luckily I do a lot of these, so it's all OK here. But I suggest this topic could be advertised in the first message of an LDC topic, to avoid rule-breaking and level problems.
