Hey everyone! It's the dawn (or rather dusk in my time zone) of a new year. I wanted to take this opportunity to cover a few tidbits here, so bare with me.
First of all, the first C3 of 2019 is approaching us rather quickly. We hope to see you all there to experience all the fun new projects, releases, art threads, and more! C3 is only the start to the year we have planned ahead - for 2019, we aim to have an increased focus on smaller site contests and events. There's been many requests for various different contests we can run, and you can expect a multitude of those to make a reemergence this year. As always, if you guys have any additional recommendations for contests and events of which we can run, just shoot us a post over here!
We will be hosting our first Level Design Contest of the year later this month. Following the years of VLDC growing, we are going to run a more subdued vanilla-esque contest utilizing Lunar Magic 3.00. The date for this contest will be announced following the end of C3, but we're excited to start the year off with some pure level designing utilizing incredible new content (really, god bless Lunar Magic 3.00). The ever-elusive BLDC has been moved back further in the year - as we felt it would be better for us to run a simpler "vanilla" contest to utilize the new functions of Lunar Magic rather than a more chocolate-oriented contest. But soon... soon shall be the day BLDC rises.
To finish off, I'd like to bring up that Kieran Menor and I are helming the development of a user survey of which to gauge your (yes, all of you guys!) feedback on the state of the site. We're aware of the discontent various users (and ex-users) of the site have been feeling in regards to site policy, section guidelines, advancing SMW Hacking tech and so on. We want to get your input on what we're doing right and what we're doing wrong. SMW Central has always been at its' core a site for users of all backgrounds to come together for the express purpose of hacking Super Mario World, and we wish to continue to foster this environment to the best of our abilities. We'll be releasing this survey following C3, and until then if you guys have any input on what you'd like to see on this survey (please be as honest as hell!) hit us up at our staff feedback page.
And, if I can take this moment to be candid (and to be out of character as HR Girl), being able to be site manager for this site has been the most fruitful online experience I've been able to have. This community is really wonderful and being able to be a part of this all is has been an honor. I'm gonna keep this thread open if there's any public feedback on things, or just general chit-chat responses. Here's to 2019, y'all.
