      Hello all, and welcome to the long awaited Double 32nd Level Designing Contest!
      ...Wait, double?

      Yep, double. Me and Nan are hosting two different versions of this LDC. We both wanted to host the upcoming contest, so we thought:
      Why can't we both host?

      Each half of this LDC counts as its own thing, with different themes each. So you can join this half, Nan's half, or if you're really feeling it, both.
      I suggest you avoid Nan's side though, I heard the pollution is really bad over there.

      Now, the theme you must follow for this half of the contest is:

      Image

      Yeah, you saw this one coming. Forests, plains, deserts, snowy mountains... Anything is allowed as long as it's... well, natural.

        J U D G I N G

          For the first time in a numbered LDC the judging system is gone, and has been replaced with the poll system!
          The winners of this contest will be decided by the public, and the best from this LDC will compete against the best from the other LDC in a final round of polls!
          There, they will face off against each other for a chance of winning medals.
          Let's do our best for this half of the contest, so Nan won't even stand a chance in the final round!

            R U L E S

              -Collaborations are allowed, but only between two people.
              -Level series are allowed, but they can only have a maximum of three levels.
              -Both SM63 and LL levels are allowed, and level series can have both.
              -You can make levels for both this LDC and Nan's LDC, but only one level can go to the finals.
              -Your entry must follow the theme, or else it will be disqualified.
              -Levels including any kind of profanity are prohibited, and will be disqualified.
              -Entries started before the LDC begun count as cheating, and will be disqualified.
              -Extensions may be given, but only when justifiable.

                D E A D L I N E


                  This LDC will end on June 3rd, at 11:59 PM PST.


                  Best of luck, and have fun!

                    My rating standards: show
                    I have rated so many levels but I didn't obey any rules. Here is my own rating standard. ( New judging standards! )


                    I'll give each level an unoffical overview with 100 points in total.


                    1.Level Quality: (25/100 points): Include level diffculty, graphics and the designing of the level. If a level is so hard or laggy that I can't pass this star will immediately be lost. And if a level is so easy that I can EASILY pass it, I'll cost scores according to the circumstances.
                    How to judge if a level is laggy:

                    FPS: 26+: Good.
                    FPS: 20-26: Not very good, but it can be accepted.
                    FPS: 14-20: Bad.
                    FPS: 14-: Terrible, I can't stand!

                    Here is a tutorial that can prevent a "laggy" level:Why is a Level Laggy?
                    Tutorial that can make better text in LD: Coming Soon!


                    2.In-game playing: (45/100 points): Include level decoration, the use of tiles. And if this level is interesting, fascinating and chellenging, etc.


                    3.Other (30/100 points): Mistakes, bugs and warm tips. If there is any bugs that can't let me pass the level, I'll reduce a lot of points..


                    Final rating:
                    0-29 = 1 star
                    25-59 = 2 stars
                    60-74 = 3 stars
                    75-84 = 4 stars
                    85-100 = 5 stars


                    I'll continue updating these rules and I'll use these rules to rate levels.

                    Okay, so since the site was down for a lot of time yesterday and today, I'm giving one more day to you guys. So, that means that you have until 6/5 23:59 PST to finish and post your entries.

                    That counts for Nan's LDC as well, I guess.

                    But I logged in on this website yesterday from 12 a.m. to the afternoon about 4 p.m. .
                    And I played well and loaded some levels on my download version. (My timezone: UTC + 8 hours [ DST ])
                    Should we change the progress to 100% to enter the judging ?

                    The site was down for quite a lot of time yesterday, and before yesterday as well. Maybe you didn't notice because it wasn't during that time in your timezone, but it caused trouble for a lot of people who wanted to update their entries.

                    And you don't have to change the progress to 100% if you don't want to, it'll still be judged. The only entries that won't be judged will be those that are clearly unfinished.

                    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.

                    Okay, both threads are locked now. However, judging period won't start yet because Doram asked for an extension for the green contest, and asdfmoviecaleb asked for one for the red contest, so polls will only be up after their extension period is over.

                    Alright, the deadline is up, and the extension period is also over. We have 9 levels in the green contest from both LL and SM63, so to make things easier to you guys, I've marked each post in the vault with a label at the bottom, indicating they are LL or SM63. They look like this:

                    -Last Legacy Level-

                    -Super Mario 63 Level-


                    Now, below is the link to the judging poll. There's an explanation there, so be sure to read it before you vote:

                    Judging Poll for the Green Edition

                    The judging period shall be of 3 weeks from now, which means that the deadline for juding will be on the 30th of June, 23:59 PST

                    Good luck everyone!
