6th Level Designer Contest
Posted: January 26th, 2010, 1:04 amEND OF PARTICIPATION
Well then, The 6th Official Super Mario 63 Level Designer Contest is now under way!
Well, all the mods have now hosted a contest so far except moi, and it seems it's now my turn.
It's simple (as always): Just make a level to best fit the topic! The judges will rate the levels afterwards.
RULES
1. - Only ONE level per contestant, which must fit the respective topic!
1.1. - You're allowed split the level if you need to change backgrounds and/or music. Say for example; one part is in the grasslands, and the next is inside the castle or something like that. However, if the Grasslands part is merely 20 tiles, then no.
2. - You can update your level as many times as you wish, but NOT after the deadline. Edit the old code out of your old posts, rather than compose of an entirely new one, please.
3. - Points will be subtracted if judges find any insultive language throughout the level, including on signs or via objects.
HOW THE JURY RATES
Same standard as all the previous contests. You can get a max of 20 points.
10 points: FUN
That's what the contests are all about, mate. Is it enjoyable to play, or tedious and boring? Well, you decide. Do what you can to avoid the latter, of course.
5 points: GRAPHICS
Every true level designer should strive to avoid cut-off. Creating a level is like creating a painting. It must look beautiful for people to like it, with the exception of abstract works, Which we are NOT looking for in the levels submitted to this contest, people.
5 points: OTHER THINGS
Everything that cannot be summed up in the previous topics is rated here. As usual, The judge starts out with 3 points for this topic. He adds a point for something he/she likes, or subtracts one for anything he/she dislikes. There can't be less than 0 points, and no more than 5.
The calculated average of all ratings is your final score.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
Just post your level code (IN [ CODE ] TAGS!!) here.
HOW TO APPLY FOR JUDGE
You probably know the drill by now. Simply PM me (Niklaw), with your request. I'll ultimately decide who becomes judge.
!! JUDGES CAN ENTER A LEVEL, BUT THEY CAN'T RATE THEIR OWN !!
THIS MONTH'S TOPIC:
Yeah, you read right. Let's try our hand at crafting an Airship (Those flying boat things)! Try to make it large, though of course, don't over-do it. You can choose the ship to be under enemy control, and you're the invader, or vice-versa. A cabin would be a good idea if you're a little low on room at the deck of the Airship.
END OF PARTICIPATING: The 20th of February
Personal extentions may be arranged via PM, IF you're going to be away on vacation during the process of the contest.
Current Personal Extentions:
