Ladies, gentlemen and my delicious lunch/beer blackyoshi, welcome to the 22nd Level Designer Contest!

I am ready to serve you all delicious cookies and delicious cake, but don't expect it to be something you like. You never know what I use for cakes... That's right, you

Oh yeah, for the theme, please open the spoiler. But don't burn your fingers when clicking it, cause the theme is...

Holy ♥♥♥♥ yes I had to put it in a spoiler: show

Thanks Sir Stoner for dat awesome banner :D Non-animated banner here


You have a pretty big variety of things you can create. Wanted to make a volcano for a long time? Or a burning factory in a lava land? As long as the level has lots to do with fire everything is allowed.







Le rules and le additional rules


- Level series are allowed, but only 3 levels max! But note that the average of all levels will be the overall score, so you may have got a better score with 1 level only!
- Your level must fit the theme.
- No or hardly any insults or profanity allowed.
- You must make a brandnew level for this LDC. Taking ideas from an older level is allowed, but not a whole section.
- Collaborations are allowed, but only max 2 people. But don't make one just because it's allowed.
- You are allowed to make a story or not. Note that some judges dislike too long stories. And don't make a story when it just ruins gameplay.
- You can use songs not included in the game. Link the player to the song via
Code: Select all
[url= Link here]random text, maybe saying "music" here[/url]
when using no in-game music, for example: YouTube.

And now to the additional ones...

- Like mentioned above, you are allowed 3 levels max, not 5. This is to reduce the amount of levels judges need to play (hopefully) for faster judging and that people don't overplan.
- You will only get an extension up to 2 days and only with a very good reason. EDIT: Only max. 1 day extension now, the other one was already added for everybody.
- You have to praise me in the level. This will result in insta 20/20 points in my judgings :)




Judging

10 points: Fun
Did the level entertain you? Was the story good, when existing, did it ruin the gameplay too much? Were there some extremely fun, annoying or frustrating parts?

5 points: Graphics
Does the level have cutoff? Did it make your eyes cry of luck or uglyness? Were the tiles and items used wisely? Do different tiles and items fit together or do they just look ugly? Is there decoration which is used in a good way?

5 points: Other
You start with 3 points. Points get added or reduced for everything which doesn't fit in any of the two categories or just stands out. Lag and loading time also give or reduce points here. Some judges also give/reduce points for a good music choice.

20 points: Overall
Most of the time there is a short summary here or a little comment to end the judging for the level. Not every judge does that.

The judges are:
  • That guy who will eat you all aka me
  • lordpat
  • MegaR
  • WindMasterArceus
  • Back-up Judge/Judge for all judges' levels: YoshiBoo118

If you want to apply to be a judge, PM me.

Sunday, December 9th, 21:59 PST (GMT-8)

MP3: + 1 day

You're announcing them before WITBLO because you love me! :D

Also guess who's not entering this LDC? ♥♥♥♥ ME! :D Finally, as soon as I'm done with this duel, I'm free of the scene. Don't let the door kiss my ♥♥♥ on the way out!

Also why vault of the Chasm? Shouldn't you make, I dunno, your OWN vault? It's all your vault, man.

:D

Favor!

Can y'all please post your level codes in spoilers? Otherwise all the code really lags my page and makes it a nightmare to manage on phone. I've been meaning to ask for awhile. As WITBLO12 draws near I wanna test le levels with le ease, especially with this old boltbag.

I might attend this, but I have a lot of other levels on-hand (not to mention my first level series that I am trying to get at least 3 levels out of, to unlock the topic.).

If I manage to gain the time for a level here, I'll edit this post with BIG words (Not the biggest, though :3).

For now, I want to be listed (where, oh where is that list?) as "maybe."

Edit:

I AM NOW IN.

Gosh N whoever that Sir Stoner is, tell him that banner is awesome

Also this seems like a fair amount of time to do a simple Fire level. Maybe you can count me in.
