It depends. If you have a well-designed level, there's no reason not to enter it, even if it doesn't place far ahead, it's still a good experience to get a judging with a moderate score, let's say at least 12/20. On the other side, it's a very bad experience to get a horrible score like 2/20 etc, so if you don't make it to create a good level until the deadline, I don't recommend to post it. But it's basically your decision. If you have any further questions, post them in the LDC topic or PM a level mod whatsoever. Remember, this is just your welcome topic.

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.

Bah, I would enter it anyway. If it gets a bad score (and seeing your confidence makes me believe that's unlikely) what's the worst that could happen?

If you want to, by all means go ahead. Just understand that you'll be under a heavy handicap since everyone currently entered has had the entire month to work on their level, and you'd have to make a level from scratch (you can't enter the contest with a pre-made level).

But hey, there's plenty more to come so keep your eyes peeled.

Oh, and welcome.
Expect something cool here soon!

Some legends have created levels in just a day and won LDCs with it, so it's still all possible. (:

Anyway, I'm MP3, a global moderator on here. If you have any problems or requests regarding the site (or the level designer if you like as I have experience there too) then you can PM or ask me or another global mod. I hope you enjoy yourself here, make friends, design some levels and whatnot. We're a good community so hopefully you can find your place here. :D

Hm. True.

Nice to meet you. Enjoy your stay and use your chance of getting a bit of level designing experience.
As for me. I'm one of these level designers on this site. Even if my recent activity was spend elsewhere.

Big thank you to FrozenFire who created this masterpiece. : )

And now I'm being congratulated? I must be really good at this whole forum thing. (Shhh, they'll never notice that I fixed my missing word.)
