lawl Nenefun, stuff like this is something which you can put in your sig

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.

I'll try to make time to do my idea... but if I can't, I'll still try to make it later, outside the Contest. It's an idea I want to do.
Some day I'll fix my sig.

I'll say this now. If I'm confident that we will certainly get more entrants for the LDC by extending the deadline further by a week or two, I will do it when the time comes. But if it's going to become a wreck like the 28th LDC where people were given unconditional chances and still no-one wanted to take part, then I won't. I just don't want to waste time by extending so much and nothing happens. So I'll only do it if I'm sure that I'm not wasting anyone's time by doing it.

So far, the deadline stays at the 10th, which is still plenty of time right now.

I've been finding myself spending many days with only a few of designing ... (mostly due to college, will have less to do from December 2nd on ...)

and Jumbo, I'd also like to hear a response from you on your progress ...

Nice, just get started and put your progress in the Vault, so if enough people show enough progress to make an extension reasonable, we'll get one; and even if not it's still possible to judge something which is about 75% finished or such.

As I said before, if I'm confident we'll get more entrants by extending the deadline then I will do it. So it really all depends.
