Re: MoD's Revised Level Designer Tier List

Postby Master1.0 » December 27th, 2011, 5:24 pm

I might be a little more active if I had the motivation. But lately, I've hung low in the designing department due to the fact I don't have all that many people that actually appreciate my work lately.

This kinda explains my plummet to 21st. KTHNXBAI.

MASTER. ugh I don't know what to say. T_T

Anyway, 19th, woo! :D

Thanks MoD, I couldn't edit because I finished my entry 11:00 the night of the deadline, which was a schoolnight... explains why I didn't stay up later. :P I promise you, the 17th will be an entry to remember. 17, lucky number for me! ;) And it wasn't really a misfire. .33 from 6th isn't that bad, no?
<Arocado:> I'm Asian.

Let me set this straight for the few of you that don't know when to stop complaining.

Moy maintains this list and he knows what he's doing.
I know him well enough to know that he'll play any level you throw at him and he'll play it like a ♥♥♥♥♥ to see every last detail, whether its eye-catching or cutoff, or creative or overused.

Those of you who stop designing levels should know that you're only going to go down the list the more time you spend living life.
And that's good, actually. I don't think level designing is a profession that requires intensive training and pays millions a days. If you want to stay on the list because you're competitive, than make levels again with a competitive spirit and not half-assed because you think it's going to be easy.

Those of you who keep quiet and like to make levels in private for your own personal amusement should know that he won't be able to play a level that is never revealed to the world. Open up more. Join a Level Designing Duel, or A Level Designer Contest to be more well known. Is there no better attention grabber than a shiny trophy or ribbon under your profile? I know a person that NEVER posted his levels. The ones he PM'd me were GREAT. He's not on this list though, since he decided to keep it to himself and entered contests with levels I could tell he did not put as much effort in.

Those of you who think you deserve to be on this list have to understand that you're not always the best at everything. I would love to be the most athletic, active, spirited, and popular Valedictorian ever in 2015. Do I expect myself to be? No. So I try harder. I'll be trying to become a bit more fit this summer to prepare for all the sports I wanna do. You'll get up here eventually if you try harder. Look UP to the names on this list. Don't be JEALOUS of them or think you're better than them. You definitely aren't, else Moy would already put your name up top. He's judged multiple contests with fair reviews.


This is a list of memorable users that have made memorable levels. You won't know every name here or their reasons for being here. You probably won't ever play some of these people's levels. If you aren't on the list, it does not mean that your levels are bad. It just means that there are people with better levels. I know some people that have great levels that don't appear on this list. Do I think they should be on this list? No, they need to make levels that go above and beyond that of the average level. They don't need to place in a contest, but they do need to make a level that is either innovative, original, or memorable.

If you have one of these traits in your levels, then you need to improve these traits even more.



The reason some of you are moving down in rank, or not ranked at all is because you're not up to par with some of these people, or have not been up to par lately. This is not a list of people that make levels. This is a list of people that have made top notch, amazing, and revolutionary levels, and continue to do so. Don't be offended if you're moving down or are not on to begin with. Just catch up.

SO. MUCH. WANT. FOR. THAT. LIST.

SUCKS. WITH. LEVELS.

Seriously, I am trying my best to get on this list. After what Ninny said about eye-catching and all of that, I may not get much chance on this list.

BUT I SHALL TRY! -Insert thunder-

D'aww, 27th. Let's hope if this next level goes well, I'll move up some more. And MoD, don't be so hard on yourself. :P You and Ven are around the same level.
