A History of LDC Entrants

[~MP3 Amplifier~]

I'm afraid I'll vote for Space Colony on this one. It's just godly.

Don't get me wrong I would've voted for Dark second, but it was a bit too long for me.

And yay Antichesm placed 5th out of all the winning entries in history! I know it did come 6th on the list but Penguin God didn't actually win the 7th LDC.

Um... what about the other 15 winners?

[~MP3 Amplifier~]

The ones on the list were the ones voted for the most in previous rounds.

What were the top placing for the other 2 rounds?

Hmm, well the polls shut themselves down, but I remember that the winners of the first polls were Dark, Act of Antichesm, an Impossible Treasures/Frost Glade tie, Temple of the Penguin God and Dimension Infinity. The other three (Ethereal Mansion, Space Colony and Destinations) were high voted runner ups and served as Wild Card. In the second poll, Dark, Destinations and Ethereal Mansion won their polls with Space Colony voted in again as the Wild Card.

As by request, I am going to write up a few sentences that summarise each of the top 3 bronze & silver medalists. Background information, possible inspirations and perhaps a reason why people liked it so much. Terribly sorry if I misunderstood because I unfortunately do seem to have a problem with understanding things exactly how they're meant. :3 I'm also getting better at the analytical bit, so I'm afraid it won't be like a full MoD type review. It'll just be in a few sentences max in MP3-style.

Top 3 bronze medalists:

1) Nin10mode's Omniquet!

Perhaps the main reason why people voted for this most was because of the traditional Mario feel you had as you played it. You can also see the amount of detail put into this level, yet not to such an extent that it's off-puttingly detailed. By loading the level and looking at where the start position is placed, the rotating the cave blocks give you a feeling of how much care is taken. There must be a reason for them there- maybe to make the graphics improved, to make the fort look slightly factory-like, or just to force Mario into a certain position when you test the level? It doesn't really matter what secrets lie behind the features of the level, but clearly this has captured much attention and Fort Omniquet is now a hit.

2) Fourinone's Bowser's New Castle

Possibly the first level in history to use humour in signposts and use it to drive a fun experience as well as a level full of interesting gameplay. My personal opinion for voting this level as one of my top 3 was because its humour and how it sticks to memory. I don't think I will ever forget this level, or there'll always be a feel of déja vu whenever I play it. (in fact, the first time I remember playing it properly, I even had a déja vu then) I will admit Four's graphics weren't top notch, but the story and gameplay rules his levels.

3/4) A Universitas Creaturarum Mirabilis (decided to spell it correctly because why not ) by MP3 Amplifier and Secrets of Earth and Sky by Master1.0!

While Universitas and Secrets are rather different from each other, they both share a certain amount of originality and slight innovation. Universitas was a tricky couple of levels to pull off, the mini-block bosses representing night sky figures and the idea of Earth being in danger from natural disasters. It was successful in the end of being believable and inventive at the same time, striking a good balance, which caught most attention I'm pretty sure. As for Secrets, I unfortunately can't remember much about it straight off in my head right now, but my reaction to first playing it was wow. Although the loading time was a bit long, the wait was worth the feast for my eyes. I think the thing that really lit up in my head as this level being brilliant was the tile mixtures, and how innovative the tiling usage was. While my memory seems to have drifted on this level, that is easily the most memorable part for me.

(silver medalists to be added soon)
