Contest Theme Suggestions

[Mr_SaxMan]

Swamp can work... you just have to be a little creative.

Actually, !?! has made a good suggestion on the secret level, remember my ?????'s levels?

No, not really.

It doesn't have to be a secret level

So a secret level theme but it doesn't have to be a secret level....yeah that makes sense

you make a confusing level that no one knows about and they have to find the secret shinesprite. [no red coins or silver stars, it'll ruin the levels]

From the sounds of it you're either describing a maze level or a spam level....the former could work. Maybe. The latter, obviously not.

Also, Usu, i can make lots of levels you can't,

No, you claim you can, but I've never actually seen any levels from you that prove this statement.

if you can't make that kind of level, then ignore it.

You seriously don't get the point of what an accessible theme is, do you? I mean, I couldn't even design half of the themes some of you guys think of.

Lots of others have made some whacky levels none of us can't.

Like Krazy321's levels? His levels were absolutely amazing and blew us away by winning two LDC's. The themes of those LDCs were Bowser's New Castle, and Unfinished Level. Both themes are understandable to everyone and anyone could enter the contest (which, we want the most amount of people possible to enter the contest, and that won't happen if the theme is too complicated), but only the best will win.

I actually kinda like the Grasslands theme. But I like Underground Lake better.

[AlucardX60]

YAY GRASSLANDS +1!!!

How about a weather theme? I don't know exactly, I guess I bring this up because I just made rain in the "Level Inventions" Forum, but I thought it would be a cool thing to make weather based levels.

Here's my second message. I know Usu or Blab are going to turn down this idea. Doesn't it get annoying when your ideas are turned down? Man, I could do every level I suggested, yet the ideas are not fair enough or good enough. There should be a Level Designer Contest for the really creative level designers. Then it could be fair for some of the more skilled designers.

Um, I actually think ideas that are acessible for everyone, including newbies. Not masterpieces-that-lag-and-that-only-a-master-level-designer-can-do. We're trying to encourage users into getting in the LDC, and that's why the themes aren't really complicated.

...And it would get kinda hard to do a master LDC, and would really lack a challenge, as only 5 people would join.

[Mr_SaxMan]

Yes, but five very skilled level designers... Oh yeah... its a 50% chance of a candidate being president/prime minister... What can go wrong!!! We can still have a normal 11th Level Designer Contest, I am just saying that there would also be a contest for the great level designers.

Sounds like a "change" theme to me

[Mr_SaxMan]

No, I just mean weather. Add all the sunshine, rain, tornadoes, hurricanes, heat waves, weather effected by UFOs as you want, no change included.

Point is, if we create a Master LDC, we need to give a big challenge. 5 people isn't a challenge.
