Ideas for a 32nd Level Designer Contest

Postby NanTheDark » March 18th, 2017, 5:20 pm

We were talking about this earlier in chat, so I decided to make this thread in order to ask for opinions on this. Answer the poll if you can, and leave comments regarding ideas for themes, judging and whatever the heck else you think should be done for this new LDC (if it happens), as well as when should we do it.

Edit April 7: New poll up, check it!

So, as I've said in chat, we should make a technique level(that's my favorite and best), which is related to fludd or triple jumps and more challenging in average.
and YES, I DO WANNA HAVE AN ANOTHER LDC!!!!!! :awe:
I am Maaaaarrrrriiiiio, A Minecraft Maniac.

Thanks Doram for the sigbar!
Thanks Yuri for the avatar!
You guys are the best!

Sorry guys I removed the done date because I have way less time to make SM63 levels now.
Rating Standards: show
This is my Portal rating standards:
I give every level a overview with a total of 100 points.
1. Difficulty(20 points): I will take points off depending on how far has the level been beyond easy or hard. But generally, most of the levels should get full points on this.
2. Graphics(10 points): I will take points off depending on how laggy this level is. Again, generally, most of the levels should get full points on this.
detailed standards on this:
>25 fps: 10/10
20-25 fps: 6-9/10
15-20 fps:1-5/10
<15 fps:0/10
3. In-game playing(40 points): This score shows how fun, playable and unique this level is.
detailed standards on this:
30-40:excellent
20-30:good
10-20:ok
<10:poor
4. Other(30 points):I will give points on this depending on how well does the level use the tiles and items(15 points each).And all points from special rules are added here.
Overall:
0-29/100:1☆
30-49/100:2☆
50-69/100:3☆
70-89/100:4☆
>90/100:5☆

!!!Special Rules!!!
1. If I see any cutoffs-any at all, at least 10 points will be lost.
2. If level does not fit theme, 25 points will be lost.
3. If there's anything that's extraordinarily inspiring and unique, I will add extra points.
4. The harshness of my rating, that means how strict I am while rating the level depends on how long has the author been designing.
5. If there're any flaws that doesn't pertain to all rules above, I will deduct points within reason.

EDIT 1(April 11): decreased the amount of the points given for laggy and bad game playing
Previous Quotes(chronological order): show
Why, Impossible......

My level judgement is very harsh.

A level, just like a person, is Never perfect.

Every time you have more of an item, that item becomes less valuable.

We could get a mod to host it, otherwise, maybe I could handle it. We'll see.

For the theme, I believe it's time we played the Freestyle card.

Polls have worked very well on the mini events, and even more so on the last Art Contest. Let's give it a shot for the main stage.
