My level is now completely finished.

Judging phase begins now! I'll PM the judges remembering them about that, and telling the details.

I'm gonna lose anyway due to the obnoxious loading time

Worrying about loading time? I guess you didn't play my level yet :P

That's kind of strange. Before you've added the last transition, loading time was about 15 seconds, much better than my completed level with 25 seconds, crash warnings etc. And as your level is also completed, it's exactly the same as with mine.

I was already worrying on getting DQ'd, as my AFP didn't respond for a few seconds while loading my level. Whenever there's gonna be another LDC or duel with this theme, we need this rule to be more transparent. The original sense of "If our computers cannot load the level, the level will be DQ'd" is: "The levels shall not be too crazy", and not "Be sure to save as much décor as possible", since décor is what causes our levels to have large loading times and not their size. 300x55 and 343x30 is something completely else than 552x206.

So yeah.

Thank you, FF.

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.

My judging is 50% done! I'll judge Yurimaster's level tomorrow.




By the way,I made a level that is 880 tiles wide last year,it contained an immense amount of rotating blocks,and it still loads fluently.

Size doesn't really matter,does it?






Come to think of it,my level never lagged. (Since I've started to submit levels to the new portal)

I actually prefer you to send them today. As I said before, I'd like to get the results as soon as possible.

I know most judges won't finish before this weekend, but it would be nice getting your judgings already. :P
