Crud!

I actually thought I could do it this

I'm just going to lay off the contests for
a while and start making regular levels...

Just keep improving, man. You're still doing better than anyone new to the scene generally ever does. (It took me a ton of ♥♥♥♥ levels to get to my first win, and your worst level is easily better than all of those ♥♥♥♥ starting ones).

You should!

As for myself, I am legitimately honored to have placed fourth. I still hold that I'm not super talented as 25quared levels and never will be, but not only am I just blown the ♥♥♥♥ away by all your entrants, but I am honored that I made a concept others might actually use. This really shows that 25quared levels are as good as any other level if done right, which is why both Ven and KABOOM will have their 25quared Levels as WITBLO15 entrants.

You placed 8th out of 17, and you were 0.4 points away from coming in 6th. You did perfectly well, and you beat some really experienced designers. :)

Yeah, three gold tier designers were just converted to dust beneath your heels. Think about that.

Doram I really appreciate how you want to future-proof but those links aren't temporary and I'd really like it if you just stopped editing over my posts thanks


EDIT: and others' posts and I fixed what you broke thanks

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.

Jumbo you placed above a lot of experienced designers, which pretty much proves in itself that you're worthy enough to score higher in the future. Just keep working at it, it was only unfortunate that this contest was so heated.

Actually it was pretty rude of me to just run around and edit a bunch of posts without asking permission. I've already apologized to MK, but I hope I haven't offended you either, MoD. If you want me to take stuff back out, I will.
