Not necessarily, I have collabs with myself and they always place. :3

Aaand it seems that I'm out.

There's going to be a huge event IRL, and it's obviously on the deadline.

Just a forewarning anyway-

We may have to have an extension on this LDC overall anyway, because at the end of the month I will be setting up the Halloween forum once again, with mini-contests and mini-LDCs etc. For the amount of days the mini-LDC will be open, I will be allowing as an extension for everyone in the LDC because this year it clashes. For the past 2 years we've been lucky and nothing has clashed but this year it's different soo yeah.

I'm gonna take this extension no matter how long it is.

I've originally said I don't wanna do that much in this LDC but as the story and all the stuff is planned out, I see that I wanna do much more (but hopefully without lag and frustrating parts).

Btw maybe the first act will have the largest level code in history. I wonder which level has the longest code right now.

Thank you, FF.

Rating standards: show
1 star: (0 - 5.75 in LDC) These levels need a lot of work. They're totally un-elaborated, and/or inherently flawed due to things like cutoff or enemy spam, or they're untested and there are too many bugs gameplay-wise, in short: Many many things went wrong in such a level.

2 stars: (6 - 9.75) These levels are not terrible, but poor. They're too short, lack scenery or they have errors and/or bugs but it's still barely enjoyable. Again, spend more effort and try to do better. (if it's your first level that I rate two stars, it's not bad. There's a long way you can still go)

3 stars: (10 - 12.75) These levels are about mediocre. They may be still a little bit short, the gameplay is fine but not very original and graphics are also solid, but not breath-taking. Try to keep improving!

4 stars: (13 - 15) These levels are nice, but not the best. Effort has been put into them, there can some professionality be seen in gameplay and graphics, they're a nice experience to play, but there are still things you can do to make it even better. Try to go the extra mile!

5 stars: (15.25 - 20) These are really great levels, those which, as said, I would give more than 15 in an LDC. These suffice many high requirements, and it already goes into subtleties if you want to make them better. These levels are successful all around. Bravo.

These are just general principles I try to follow when rating. Sometimes I don't leave a further comment when rating, most times I do, if you have questions about it, feel free to ask further.

The Essence of Time took up 60+ pages on Word, in font "Times New Roman," size 8. I thought it wouldn't get accepted on the LL website, but it did, thankfully.

Can you beat that? :p

Having the largest level code ain't a good thing...it just means you've got less room for your post, or perhaps no room if it's that huge.

But that's in LL. In LL codes are usually longer, because of all these trigger codes and crap.

In SM63 it's probably different. My longest code (SMA World 4 - Hanmeus' Castle) is just more than 9 complete pages with the same settings, and 68,141 characters long. It contains 2 blosses, a whole bunch of bullet bills, one snake platform, two versions of the same big room and 10 versions of a tiny room (for a puzzle) and rotating blocks and flame throwers everywhere, and is 982 tiles long. In SM63, I doubt it's possible to go that further without crashing, so I would say 10-15 pages is like a maximum for a playable SM63 level

Anyway, like MP3 said, going for the longest code isn't the best idea. Remember the first rule of Level Designing: Quality over quantity. Buff won the 20th LDC with a Pure-Platformer, crushing two huge level series, one of them contained the level I mentioned above
