7th Level Designer Contest

[Blablob]

Well, I've begun my NEW LDC Entry, entitled Blablob Desert. I'll be extra careful not to lose my level this time. No estimate as to when the level will be completed. The level as of now is pretty large, but no where near complete. Anyways, something to look forward to.

Just wondering: can a judge take points off because of a level's difficulty?

No.

Just wondering: can a judge take points off because of a level's difficulty?

No.

Difficulty can have a great impact on how fun the level is, which is a main category of rating the level. I would say you don't want a super hard level, but not a easy-cheezy level either. Too easy, and and the person playing the level may become bored of no obstacles to overcome. Too hard, and they might become so pissed that they start ripping their hair out, and you might get a low score afterwards

[MICrophone]

Well, yeah. If you find a level less or more fun because of it's difficulty, you can factor in. But you can't deduct or add points merely because of the difficulty.

Edit: Deleted level

Just wondering: can a judge take points off because of a level's difficulty?

If it's hard: no.
If it's unfair: yes.

I will be joining this contest as well, but I'm not sure how well my level will go over.

It will either be titled "King Goombariand's Temple" or "Explorer Guy and the Ancient Temple"

It will include: Ancient Curses, Tombs, Dead Kings, Quicksand, Sandworms, and an intrepid Shy Guy Explorer. Oh, and Mario of course.

Well guys, I'm not gonna enter the contest. I at least hope to be a judge! O_o

[Blablob]

I deleted my LDC Level Demo. That was to avoid any confusion with judging the actual level when the time came. My actual level should be by who-knows-when.
