Name-Claiming Thread

Post by Dragon Fogel »

People were claiming names in the other thread. I figured I'd make a specific thread for this and note which names people have called, and also set some ground rules.

Right now, there's just one rule: Do not call more than three names at a time. If you finish and submit a level, then you can claim another name. (This may be subject to change depending on how many people are working on levels.)

There's also the option of taking a name for a level that was actually used in MAGL X. (Or X2, when that gets released.) There won't be as many of these and they'll probably be bonus levels, so I'm going to say that people can only claim one of these at a time.

If I think of other rules, I'll note them here. In the meantime, just use this thread to claim names.

Level names and their claim statuses can be found on this spreadsheet here.

The original name list posts (only here for convenience in case one of us manages to horrifically bungle something on the spreadsheet):

Okay, I think I got all the claims from the name thread. If you want to revoke your claim, say so here.

Also I'm officially claiming this:

"We impose order on the chaos of organic evolution. You exist because we allow it, and you will end because we demand it."

I think it's probably going to be a lategame level.

Oh goodness, I just had such a dumb idea.

I am officially laying claim to "Scandalous Chateau" and I'm going to regret this in the best way imaginable.

Oh man, I really shouldn't, but I'm getting ideas for "qqqqqq"...

EDIT: Okay. Against my better judgement, I'm claiming "qqqqqq".

Are we going with the idea of doing some off of actually used names? If so I might want to reserve a name.

I really shouldn't be taking this, but dang it, my better judgment will have to wait.

I got a bunch of really good names for the first MaGL X, and there's one in particular I was considering using for a submission to A2XT if my MaGL X2 submission scores well, so I guess I may as well claim that name for use in this collab instead.

Is there a time frame we are looking at? I ask because I've been pretty "Leisurely" with my Volcano stage. I've got a bunch of ideas but I have yet to hash anything out other than graphics...

No real deadline or anything yet, no. For the time being as long as you don't go like a billion years with no sign of progress you're probably alright.

I'd kick myself if I didn't end up taking this name before someone else because I'm incredibly stunned by it:

Beep boop, I'm a robot. Sure. Great! BEEPY BAPPY BOOOP BO BOO. Acornia

This is a real name, right? I didn't dream it up, right? O_o


As for reusing level names from previous contests, what's the verdict on reusing your own level name from the first MAGLX?

Given the opportunity I'd quite like to remake my level from last year from the ground up (Swimming in the Sinking Ocean). Whilst I'd probably use a similar story arc, I'd like to have the opportunity to completely redesign the level itself; looking back on it a year later I feel that the level is mechanically poor and would benefit from a redesign. (Ironically, I think the weakest part of the level was the actual "Sinking Ocean" segment.)

Haha, I'll see if I can constrain myself this time. If I can make it so that the Sinking Ocean section is also going through destroyed Atlantis, then that'd cut off a large amount of gametime. I think one way to accomplish this would be to start at the bottom of Atlantis, work your way up, then go back down a flooded Atlantis whilst the water is going down - but also go through some different pathways here and there for variety.

I haven't thought this through very much yet, but making it shorter shouldn't be too hard with that kind of idea.

I just woke up and I'm not entirely sure what I think about this yet. I'm fine with taking your own level name and going in a different direction with it, but a revision of your level's original concept is something I'm less sure on.

I'm going to bring this up in general discussion, but right now I'm thinking we take it on a case-by-case basis and your suggestion sounds distinct enough from the original level that it would probably meet that standard. I'll tentatively put you down for that and only take you off if there's a lot of strong feelings against this.
