25th SM63 Level Designer Contest

[Nwolf]

I played the vault version, but it might be hard to read for me because I'm not speaking English as my main language

Did the bonus level affect anything?

[Nwolf]

was supposed to boost the graphics score but I think I did some weird mistake when PMing SK about it. Looks like I wanted to boost it from 4.5 to 4.5 in the PM (wanted 4.5 --> 4.75 in reality so you could've won actually XD) but it didn't really change anything about the hard time reading

Goody, I placed 11th out of 18 people. Considering I'm in the lower 50% I find the review scores to be... Oddly high. Although it wouldn't be unlikely that everybody subconsciously works on a floating point scale. Or maybe I'm alone on that. I'm not a huge fan of disabled transitions to be honest. I could've used that now that I think about it, but even if I wanted to use them, I'm still not a huge fan of using them in general. I was actually thinking of making a level designer's nightmare where I make the worst thing I can that's still playable, but I didn't get around to making part 2, so meh.

So right as I'm about to post this I'm told Nwolf just posted his results. Yeah, consistent 4 tiles jumps. I actually decided I wanted an obnoxiously steep mountain that is probably going to tank me in the points department because it's a Nightmare. I never said the player isn't going to go through one. As I mentioned earlier, one of the scrapped ideas was an area that would be a nightmare for a Designer, and either the same or a different one would actually be the player's nightmare. It would've been ridiculous, and hard, and stupid, but it's your nightmare so if you don't hate it by the time you come out of it then I would've done something wrong. That never surfaced. Oh well. I think there's at least a little bit of cutoff I threw in intentionally knowing me. It makes me wonder if any of you considered that I made a few bad decisions because it's a nightmare world, even if these are the easier ones. Oh well, my fault in the end so no point in complaining. Kudos to the winners, my computer is probably too old to play any of your levels

[MessengerOfDreams]

Ah. Well damn it. I almost won doubly.

Petition to make a subtitle edit saying what page the results are on a new thing

[Asterocrat]

Edited Hall of Fame, added Nwolf being 15th best LDC entry in terms of rating, and added 2nd smallest difference between gold and silver levels. Good job.

Sure I can do that for every LDC

[CedarBranch]

...So my sudden open-mindedness has made no effect to anything. This is awkward.

[Venexis]

Lol, no, it definitely had an effect.

That's pretty much how you should think about the contests in my opinion. It's nice to win, but means literally nothing outside of our small community. I feel like most employers would refuse to take you seriously if you put "winner of the 26th Super Mario 63 Level Designer contest" on your resume, for instance. If that's how you really feel about the results, it's already had an effect- and a good one too.

But yes, please do SK. Is very helpful for people like me who don't really keep up with the entire thread, but still are interested in finding the results quickly.

SK, your judgings?
