9th Level Designer Contest

Postby MessengerOfDreams » July 17th, 2010, 8:56 am

:omg:

Yep! It's me! Your Resident MessengerOfDreams, running an LDC! I swear to god, this will be the most epic LDC in the universe! :D Thanks, Demonik and Suyo! :D

But let's get the boring stuff out of the way!

HOW TO PLAY
It's easy as pie (whatever that means). Just make a level based off of the theme! The judges will rate them when you finish.

RULES
1. It's ONE level, miniseries excluded! It must fit the topic! Do keep in mind that judges may take off points if the level series is too big, as it can take from enjoyability.
1.1 You can split up the level, if one part is in grasslands, one in the castle or something like that. If you need to change backgrounds and/or music. But if the Grasslands is just 20 tiles, then no.
2. You can update your level unlimited times, but not after the deadline. Edit the old code out of your old posts.
3. There shouldn't be any insults in the level, not on signs and not written with objects.
4. You cannot use an old level; you must make a new level for the contest, UNLESS IT WAS PART OF MARIO MEETS RUNOUW.
5. Go ahead. You can do a joint or use someone unfinished entry as your base for your entry. Just give credit to the originator. Both creators will get credit=trophy

HOW THE JURY RATES
You can get a max of 20 points.

10 points: ENJOYABILITY
Are you enthralled by playing it? Is it so enjoyable that it takes you in and captures you until the shine sprite? That's what this is for

5 points: GRAPHICS
How does the level Look? This is a big part of the level, as this contest is very graphics-oriented. Is there cutoff and wrong-looking tiles? If so, count on losing points here.

5 points: OTHER THINGS
In this category, the judge starts with 3 points. He can add and subtract a point or two for any other reason except if, say, he hates your guts and wants you to lose, or you're his favorite member and wants you to win, or if you just bribed him with a cookie.

The average of all ratings is your score.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE
Just post your level code (IN [ CODE ] TAGS!!) here. You can edit it as many times as you want as long as it is in the same post, and not a new one, due to PC+++ing and confusion on that day where

HOW TO BE JUDGE (NEW RULES!)
Simply PM me for the position! To be a judge you must commit to the following

1) You must commit to finishing every level within a month
2) Every level you cannot play, you must send to the backup judge immediately
3) You MUST NOT QUIT HALFWAY THROUGH! >_>

You may start judging before the deadline end, but only if that person is absolutely done EDITING!

!! JUDGES CAN ENTER A LEVEL, BUT THEY CAN'T RATE THEIR OWN !!

THIS MONTH'S TOPICS:

Image

Yep! Turn the site of Runouw into a city of sorts on SM63!

OR

A BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS!

Yes, I am the first to introduce the second theme option! This will help everyone be happy!

Still debating whether to make 2 sets of medals... :awe:

END OF PARTICIPATING: August 30th

This month's judges- WILL ANNOUNCE IN 1 WEEK!:
1. MICrophone
2. RemnantAbyss
3. SuperSpongerific
4. Blablob

Back-up Judge: We're too good for one.

Well, the first page is full of purple names, ain't it? Anyways, probably making a level, if not, sooner, or later. ^_^

NINEDIT: Nao it is full of orange, lightblue, and lavenderish.
Hi, it's me again. I'm back for good now. No more leaving. Hopefully. :) Anyways, see you around.. :P

Personal requests: Limit to amount of levels to 2.
Moy doesn't judge (nothing personal, its just that you have judged 2 in a row, and it will be 3 once you have judged this)
Static image is used for the banner.


Other than that, it seems like a good choice of theme. It's definitely different than anything else.

A lot of users do more than 2, I think it's fine. But maybe no more than, oh, I don't know, 5. <_<

He runs the contest, he's allowed to judge. Plus it's part of his birthday wish. And anyway, it's not even a big deal.

Okay... 3 levels then. 5, I think, is a little too much. Those levels are really tedious to judge.





No I guess it doesn't matter, I just wanted it to be fair. Also, birthday wish = yayz :D
