Review/rate your "old self," in terms of Level Designing

[CedarBranch]

I seem to have become slightly less unusual about the way I design. I've also "thrown away" some habits that led select players astray.
I'm even losing interest in the "Main Levels sequence" thing, causing me to potentially remove that idea... with some regrets.
Lastly, I've become more aware of many aspects that make a level good, and what may be considered "unusual."

Right now, I'd rate my old LDing self with a 3.005/5.

Myself in 2008: 1/10
I would tell you to look at my old levels, but they're so crappy I'm ashamed. Just know you can find them on the forums...if you really want to.

Myself now: 5/10
I'm better than I was, but there's still lots of room to improve.

After taking a Game Design course over my summer a couple of years ago, I look back at my old levels and say to myself, "What the hell was I thinking when designing this crap?"

9001/10




Now a bit more serious, can't really tell. It's always like bad --> mediocre (Fire Zone) --> good (Green Path) --> Very good (Ghostly Cave : D) --> mediocre (Nwinter/Luigi's Castle) --> bad (19th LDC)--> mediocre --> good etc. (Mad Piano : D)

I'll just go with 4/5 because today I actually feel like saying something good about myself

2009 3/10
2010 5/10
2011 9/10
2012-now 6.5/10

Quite frustrating to see how much I fail recently. I don't feel like going more into my old self, cause it would be too long cause several different designers, styles and so on. Something that always stayed the same were trying as much new things as possible and judging by people's opinion if I gonna use it more often or screw it again.
