Wow that's super harsh.

That was barely (just barely!) harsh at all.

Didn't raocow say at one point that you have to be small (or crouching) to get through those? That's some pretty severe BMD (or BTD, I guess), even more so because the level isn't at all clear about it. If you have to be small to clear a section (as in there is no other choice), it's filtering. If ...

Overextending is creator bias incarnate. You made a thing in fifteen hours, but the player only spends two minutes on it going one way. What better way to make your fifteen hour masterpiece last four minute than to have the player go backwards through the level? If someone makes a much shorter leve...

That's not even "real 'real' backtracking"- it's an alternate route altogether designed with a specific character in mind. I don't know why people insist on making these backtracking levels. Unless you actually dramatically change the design on the way back (re: not the blue box level), it...

Personally I'm not interested in whether an avatar is actually porn or not, or details about the fiction the character is from. It's about tasteless things that cause me to roll my eyes at you, or lewd-at-first-glance images that I'm embarrassed to have on my screen in public. If you get "offe...

You gave Swimming in the Sinking Ocean high marks despite it being a pointless marathon level that wore out its welcome long before the middle. Opinions. So why are you bickering about "someone else's opinions?" Then again, defaulting to the "well it's just an opinion" card is a...

I'm a bit concerned to have not seen that 51 yet. What did Horikawa and 8flight see in it that I didn't? It was one of the few levels I didn't even give full marks for "Adherence to Level Name" simply because its usage was so unbelievably piss poor. You gave Swimming in the Sinking Ocean ...

I'm set to log into most sites I go to so I don't have to bother putting in my login info every time. Scrotum's avs ain't right but some of MrDeePay's were worse. Not sure why I'm wasting my time with you, but... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v505/mrdeepay/forum/cheaplymadeavatars/100_kogasa_por...

More people need to realize that too much of a good thing is a bad thing, since being in a properly small portion is a good attribute. It's going to take a good number of more stinkers before people take the hint. But even then, that would be undone by a couple of decent attempts. That's as far as ...

Dark Matter functioned exactly like a pit.

Bowser's 2nd "fortress" in mario 64, if only for an example for being ridiculous as you progressed up above the lava, only to jump around floating platforms containing even more lava in the air.

Your point is...?

Tenlade wrote:It gets really bad in the 3d marios, where Bowser's fortresses are always just linear obsticle courses floating in either a void or in an ocean of lava.

That only applies to Corona Mountain and 3D Land/World, and that's only because the lava is instant kill.

Sarcasm doesn't carry well through text.

Polish isn't that subjective- identifying the polish of a particular piece of work can be picked up on if you actively look for it. Games such as Super Marina World or TSRP (original, not Reloaded), for example, is a better game than a good number of more "notable" ones you could think of,...

most people sent theyr VERY FIRST LEVEL in a CONTEST So what? That was the point of the contest; to have people get interested in SMBX The outcome is debatable. I made a infographic of the difference between SMBX Community and Talkhaus when it comes to levels. I think I scaled difficulty wrong thou...

DeePay: Aren't most of those objective matters things that still vary from person to person though? I mean, take me- there's hardly anything that I think is objectively bad to include in a level. To me, it's all about how things are used. To slight varying extents, but there should still be a const...

The day people stop thinking judging is objective is the day hell freezes over. It's all opinions man, completely subjective. There's a reason that "Fun" has 40 points. Unfortunately for you, judging isn't nearly as subjective as you may think it is. There are some objective matters that ...

Horikawa Otane wrote:No but I kinda really want to see a level designed around this now lol

A terrible level where the best part is when it ends. So basically, someone will make it by accident.

Making a decent water level isn't that difficult. A themed contest based on the music you're given seems like a neat idea, but only on paper. In execution, it just screams "Disaster waiting to happen." Don't go for that. If you're going to pull gameplay elements from other games, designers...

Or the name could simply be a misnomer, or just that- a name. Are you really suggesting that level names should have nothing to do with what's actually in the level? Because that goes against the gimmick of the competition but, more seriously, goes against the entire purpose of names in general. It...

- No custom graphics So? Well, the name is Dreamland... and I know raocow said that in his opinion it was a more literal interpretation of Dreamland but nothing about it seemed particularly dream-like to me. Every obstacle was something that wouldn't be out of place in a normal Mario level. If you ...

- No custom graphics

So?

With an exception being if a judge is being very inconsistent or low quality with their, well, judging. Then concern can be shown.

Yeah, that's... never a good sign. If he didn't want to do it, he should have just told Horikawa and she could've found someone else to do it. Might've taken a bit longer, but we'd have a more accurate set of scores and probably less "placement drama". ... ... ... ... Heh. Oh, who am I tr...

A patch that allows four lines exists.

If he explicitly expresses his difference of opinion, then the YouTube crew is going to call you all sorts of pleasant names.

Brace yourself!

Wow, you really never stop.

He called a horse a horse. Your point?
