Time for a roll call!

People who already have a vault post:
Supershroom
*Emelia K. Fletcher
MessengerOfDreams
NanTheDark
Yurimaster
ChaosYoshi
1018peter
Tap W
Harmless
superbot12
MegaR

People who may join, based on posts here:
superm63creator
~MP3 Amplifier~
FrozenFire
Star king
Doram
KABOOM

If all the vault posters finish their work, we'll have a total of 11 entries.
If the people who may join do make a level, we'll have a total of 17 entries.

This is looking great :D I wonder if we'll get even more entries?

YURI EDIT: And the most amazing thing of this all is that we are only counting those who announced on the LDC topics! There are some people who said that might be joining in the IRC, as well as some new members that PM'd me asking stuff about the LDC, and saying that will join somewhere else on the forums! If all these people actually enter the LDC, then we have 20+ guaranteed entries for this LDC. I'm so happy ;-;
Some day I'll fix my sig.

Last night, so many epic ideas were circling through my head and now, now I've forgotten most of them. :/

This is why I always think of that when I actually design. :3
Expect something cool here soon!

This happens to me all the time, though I can usually piece together what I've forgotten from what small pieces I remember, especially when I actually try out said thoughts in the designer itself.

Because I don't want to let Yuri down this LDC, I'll desperately try to get something done. After brooding for several days I've remembered the ideas I had now but they didn't even apply to this LDC anyway. Probably a good thing because it means I can start from fresh.

Derp, forgot to mention I'm giving this a go. Whoops.

But I'm alternating between this and two Last Legacy levels, so don't expect a lot from me. Seriously. I'm just doing this for fun.

Thank you, FF.

Nan's sig! From the previous Secret Santa event!: show
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.
Look at this!: show

Yeah, it's like the dream came true.

MoD and my intuition were right. This LDC will be simply awesome, as well as this year.

I also potentially have something in the works with a special someone that could be bigger than I thought.

Silent Conversations and a Crow's Final Song!
My latest story, and one of my personal favorites. A girl bound in silence finds the words to say to her prospective girlfriend as they visit her religious father in a dusty town on the edge of Kansas, where the crows' migration south brings forth anchored memories, the path to resolution, and a new start.

This might be like nothing you've seen before.
Updated Works! Some of my past best and current stuff: show
