Here for my bi-annual Runouw visit. What's going on in SM63?

Postby SuperLuigi9624 » March 23rd, 2017, 2:21 pm

Hey. If you don't know me, I'm Luigi Fan 64. Old-timer. Account made in 2009, and I haven't actively been in the Super Mario 63 community in around three years. Scratch that, five years, and I haven't been active in three years. I have quite a few good friends that I kept but otherwise I haven't played SM63 in years. Sometimes I come back for like a week, make half a level, then quit again. Me and NanTheDark were making a collab on a Snow level, but I didn't end up finishing it. I guess I can later some time.

Aaaaaaanyway, now that I'm older, more mature, have a sense of how game design works and I'm not an obnoxious ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, what exactly is SM63 like now? Community still strong? Any levels on par with Glitch Castle that I need to see? Give me a rundown.
Here's some stuff about me, condensed into a spoiler!: show
Hi. I do level reviews and sometimes I might even draw something. Sometimes I might make a level. Sometimes I might make a level with Nan. But I prefer to pretend the old levels I made when I was like... 15 don't exist. Sometimes I even cook! Sometimes I even cook lobsters. Sometimes, people like the lobsters. Sometimes, I ride horses! 100% of the time, I get paid for helping people ride horses! That's what a job is.

LUGGY'S SUPER AMAZING FAQ!!!!!1
What are you doing right now?: show
Doing a level collab with Nan. And also, a super-secret-exciting project. You'll know what it is when it happens.
Who are you?: show

No, seriously, who are you?: show
Luigi Fan 64. I just realized when I stopped being a pubescent sack of malaria that that username is the most generic thing since that chair you're sitting in right now.
Why are you so socially awkward?: show
Well, I'm mildly autistic. No, seriously. It's usually not a problem, though.
Why are you acting like we care about this FAQ?: show
Well, you're the person who didn't scroll down to the next post. So clearly, you care at least a little.

Thanks for not immediately scrolling off. Even though I guess I didn't do much to alter your life in this sig. Meh.

Alright, so I'm a SM63 new LDer, and I feel pretty good about the huge SM63 community army :P, that's right, the SM63 community still exists and is now very strong. There are preeeeety much at least 1-2 new levels per month, well these are the rare cases. So yeah there are far more people in the SM63 community to let this game to fade, because this is still the best Mario game out there. Don't even worry about it and feel free about Level designing!

Sorry guys I removed the done date because I have way less time to make SM63 levels now.
Rating Standards: show
This is my Portal rating standards:
I give every level a overview with a total of 100 points.
1. Difficulty(20 points): I will take points off depending on how far has the level been beyond easy or hard. But generally, most of the levels should get full points on this.
2. Graphics(10 points): I will take points off depending on how laggy this level is. Again, generally, most of the levels should get full points on this.
detailed standards on this:
>25 fps: 10/10
20-25 fps: 6-9/10
15-20 fps:1-5/10
<15 fps:0/10
3. In-game playing(40 points): This score shows how fun, playable and unique this level is.
detailed standards on this:
30-40:excellent
20-30:good
10-20:ok
<10:poor
4. Other(30 points):I will give points on this depending on how well does the level use the tiles and items(15 points each).And all points from special rules are added here.
Overall:
0-29/100:1☆
30-49/100:2☆
50-69/100:3☆
70-89/100:4☆
>90/100:5☆

!!!Special Rules!!!
1. If I see any cutoffs-any at all, at least 10 points will be lost.
2. If level does not fit theme, 25 points will be lost.
3. If there's anything that's extraordinarily inspiring and unique, I will add extra points.
4. The harshness of my rating, that means how strict I am while rating the level depends on how long has the author been designing.
5. If there're any flaws that doesn't pertain to all rules above, I will deduct points within reason.

EDIT 1(April 11): decreased the amount of the points given for laggy and bad game playing

Why, Impossible......

My level judgement is very harsh.

A level, just like a person, is Never perfect.

Every time you have more of an item, that item becomes less valuable.

1-2 levels per month doesn't exactly sound active (unless you mean important god-tier levels).

To be honest, it's definitely not as active as the old portal back in 2009-2011, but hey, the old portal was overloaded with spam levels. At least there are still people who care/make levels, even though I don't make a lot of levels myself, I still care.
And yes I'm sure there are plenty of decent levels on par with Glitch Castle, such as most of the 5-star levels and LDC winners.
