A short separation is for a better reunion.

Postby John » April 8th, 2020, 8:29 am

I have found that I cannot log in to Runouw since September 2018.
I tried sending an email to Runouw but I didn’t receive a reply.
…Until today!
I went to Runouw’s website by accident and I found the database is working.
Now I think I can continue creating new SM63 levels to you.
I feel such warmth returning to Runouw.
Sorry for my poor English :c

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.

Hello! :)

It's nice to see members return, it's sad that we've had so many issues with the forum.
Because of this, our community has kind of adapted and now we all hang out on Discord and still enjoy some levels / SM63 from time to time.

If you want to join in with the fun, the banner towards the top of the forum page provides the invite.

Look forward to seeing you there!

Hey John, thanks for saying that Mario(aka.me) is your favorite!Welcome Back!
I actually didn't expect the Runouw forums to be working again tbh...
Also MP3, apparently Discord's banned in China since 2018...

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.

Life is becoming increasingly difficult for me...

After entering the best high school in my city, stress from academic work made it impossible for me to design levels, and I'm able to make this post only because right now it's Chinese New Year and I have 3 days off work.

Discord's banned in China since Jul 2018, and I had to use the unstable VPN to connect with you guys since then(and that's one reason why I missed out on the Mafia game)

Since 2020, the Chinese government has tightened its management over VPN, making the firewall almost impenetrable.

I definitely gotta find a better VPN company if I want to use Discord ever again, and I really hope the forums could be preserved.
