The 2nd Official Level Designer Contest




Rules
- No levels that were being made before the contest started (aka when you're seeing this) are allowed. No time travellers allowed.
- Obviously, your level must fit the theme. Don't go making a level that's spooky, you're a little late for that.
- Keep the levels to a maximum of three, anything longer and you're a little too ambitious.
- Collabs are perfectly fine, just don't have the entire forum working on one level. The max amount of people in your collab should be 3.
- Try not to scare off any children, the game's PG-13 and your level should be too.
- Please use the latest version of Last Legacy: Null Space.




Judging Criteria
Gameplay (10 points, 40%)
This will be evaluated by how fun the level is. Gameplay can also be affected by the following:
- Are checkpoints spaced out fairly throughout the level?
- Are squares distributed nicely through the level?
- Does your level use splitters well? Is it separated into pieces to reduce lag?
- How well does the level perform on a slow pc in a browser?

Design (10 points, 40%)
How well your level fits in with the contest theme as well as how good the graphics are.

Miscellaneous(5 points, 20%)
For anything that doesn’t fit into the other categories. Some judges will add a point here for good music choice. This is also where you get points for doing some that is above and beyond what is expected. For instance, if you make something incredible using triggers, you may get a few bonus points here.




Judges

To start the tradition of what we have discussed in the thread MP3 made on site discussion, I'm going to give the judges a deadline of 3 weeks after the LDC ends. The SM63 LDC can still start in that time. Do not enter unless you are certain you will be able to judge in time for your deadline.
Judging Deadline: August 22nd




The Theme
This is probably what you actually care about, and as you may know, I'm not one to use drama spaces, so I'll just slap the theme right in your face, no strings attached.
Theme: show

No but really.. (sorry for lying about drama space, no fun in ruining the joke by letting you see the real theme :3)

Deadlines
All deadlines are in EST. You can only get an extension if we find the reason is worthy. PM me the reason if you're not feeling okay to share it in public.
Deadline: August 1st
Judging Deadline: August 22nd




Level Designer
At first thought, the time travel theme may seem a bit tough. But when you think about it, there's so many different times you can do, and the judges aren't judging you on whether it's realistic or not. You can do so many different eras like the caveman era, the renaissance era, the steampunk era, (extra uncounted points, this one's a tough one.) and more that I'll leave you to think about.
It's time to start!
i'm sorry

I don't think so, it's almost a month and a half away. That's longer than the last SM63 LDC.
I just want to start the tradition of 1 ldc per month, so the LDCs will probably be even shorter from here.

But I feel like I'm [probably] going to actually enter this time, even if I'm not the best designer in the world.
