kaizo lite, at least where smwc is concerned, just means that the level/hack can be cleared without tools
there’s been some discussion on whether we should change that definition

Re: Vanilla Level Design Contest X - We've passed 100th! Prelude to 'the!
If you've participated in, played, or watched any VLDC levels you know what kind of levels to expect from the contest. VLDC expects (action-)platforming and the judging rubric was designed to accommodate that. Underway's level was so clearly outside of what all of the other participants and judges e...

Re: Vanilla Level Design Contest X - The Normal's Disco Bright
Y'all are disappointing me in this thread. If raocow thought it was important info, he would have posted it in his request for feedback. You don't need to know exactly what these people did and it's not because there's any shady dealings. You're killing me. I will say that it's not something small l...

Re: Vanilla Level Design Contest X - The Normal's Disco Bright
Completely ignore them. Make a quick comment about skipping over them if you *really* think it's necessary. Ignore the comment section entirely.

Re: Vanilla Level Design Contest X - Oh boy here we go
Actually I vaguely remember two train levels. The second was cutscene-heavy and murder mystery-ish but lacked much mystery, and wasn't on a train for very long, and honestly idk if it was even VLDCX.

Re: Vanilla Level Design Contest X - Oh boy here we go
Oh? Do you happen to remember details of the train level? I remember one VLDC I submitted a train level with a desert background theme and coal cars, but I don't recall if that was this VLDC or not. Can't remember if anyone else submitted a train level as well. Fairly certain it was VLDCX. I rememb...

Re: COMING UP NEXT
Nobody got DQ'd for being too creative. That wasn't a thing. One level got DQ'd for unintended behavior (interactive layer 2 that doesn't scroll with the level) but that's it. The levels actually get really creative, especially towards the high end. That said I still don't really recommend it unless...

Re: Chocolate Le*pause*vel Design Con*pause*test 2018 - auto*pause*
Just a heads up, there's a discrepancy between your ranking list and the youtube guy's ranking list. I'm not saying one of you two are wrong but one of you two are wrong and it's you. The first entry got 8th.

Re: Cuper Lario Dorld Central 2018 - oxygen
Not that specific level, just something similar with overly precise jumps and projectile spam. The gimmick is manageable (but still frustrating) once you learn to stop making jumps that need to be adjusted in midair, and then just hold the run and jump buttons throughout the entire jump even when pa...

Re: Rise to the Challenge redo - Pirate Panic
Big overworld skips are something I'd like to see in more hacks. I don't really like it when you're forced to go 1-8 in order with no real options.

Re: VLDC9 - various landfalls defying commonality 9
Aside from a 1-up block that is only marked if the p-switch is active, we designed the level around the animations, specifically the amount of time the level stayed pitch black normally. The idea was to encourage p-switch use--even though it didn't actually do much p-switch wise--because it made the...

Re: VLDC9 - various landfalls defying commonality 9
though I wish the star saturated the whole screen with color gradually. That would have been even cooler than what we got (though more difficult to implement). There's supposed to be a layer 2 starry background that's supposed to show up with you have a star, but the collab rom messed up that anima...

Is there any merit to ninjaboy's "the moon was stretching vanilla" comment? I don't know enough about inner SMW workings to assess that. Ninja boy simply had doubts that the moon was vanilla. This would have been noticed and talked about during post-judging discussion and probably would h...

Re: VLDC9 - velodromes leisurely demonstrating carnations 9
For reference, if the level had that score it would have been 90th place. Or 19th if it was averaged with the other judges. I don't think it's worthy of 90th place, but eh.
Frost's reviewing is generally high quality. I'm glad he's judging this year.

Hey there. I'd like to recommend a game called JumpJet Rex. Steam page for those interested. It's a really fun retro-style platformer where you control a t-rex whose main mode of transportation is flying with its jet boots, go through levels, yadda yadda. It has time trials and encourages replaying ...
