VLDC12 - Discussion and Questions

I'm not aware of any bugs with green berries, or quirks with their usage depending on what level they're used in. We can investigate and see if anything comes up.

As for replaying with items not intended for the beginning of the level, I wouldn't score the level down for that kind of thing. Contest levels are meant to be played in isolation from one another, and that includes from itself most of the time. In short, I have no plans to score down a level for being able to fly somewhere I shouldn't be able to get to with a cape I couldn't have had on my first playthrough, so don't worry about it. Same with bringing in a Yoshi.
I can't find it explicitely in the "patches used" part of the submission thread, but I assume the Autoscroll ($1411) + L/R Softlock Fix had been applied to the base rom too?
Or was I somehow unable to softlock my game all the time by scrolling into the generator?








I'm pretty sure it was. I know Major and I discussed it briefly before the contest started. I might've forgotten to add it to the list or something.
Is editing Addmusic_sample groups against the rules? I know it technically isn't a asm file, but I might as well check to be safe.

I'm answering on behalf of FP as a Music Person™ after talking with him. You can modify Addmusic_sample groups.txt only to add additional sample groups that a port you're using may require. You cannot modify #default or #optimized in any way, as this has the potential of interfering with other songs.

If you do add a new sample group, make sure it's included with your submission as well, alongside the port!

Are we allowed to have a boss battle, and if so does it have to be the modifiable ones? Or can I just have the level end with a vanilla boss, eg. Reznor?

Yes, you can end the level with a boss.

I... think I spent a good couple of days working on my entry? I didn't keep track of it, although I probably took more time than necessary because I had some other ideas, but I didn't like where they were going, so I ended up scrapping and starting over. Plus, I got sidetracked by other things, oops --
Counted 134 levels this year. I thought it will be much less. I wanted to tell that Ralshi02 and Rykon-V73 submissions have broken links, so you will need to dig their entries from their user bins.

Edit: Rykon-V73 submission link works now.

Edit 2: Looks like LudFloko's bps doesn't work.

i spent like 2 or 3 half days on starting my entry and half of today to finish it


but i actually enjoyed making my level for this contest it was rather fun making it and the end result was WAAY better than my CLDC entry which is kinda funny since i use custom resources way more often than vanilla resources
This is my non existent layout I plan on adding one soon.. or never

I have a discord server, feel free to join if you want
I'd say I spent approximately one week working on my entry. I started on around August 16th or 17th (I forget exactly), and I submitted it on the 24th (then I submitted an update on the 27th to fix/adjust a few things after watching MarkVD100's video of my level).
so zero hours

Probably about 7 days of 2-5 hours a day total, though it's very split up because I was busy around the middle of the month

VLDC11 had 117 entries and 4 judges, it took about 1.5 months (41 days).
VLDCX was much worse, having 171 entries and 5 judges, it took about 8.5 months (259 days).

November is my goal for judging to be finished, but if we need more time then so be it.

You should have never said a specific month lol. People are going to go crazy with the "how much longer questions" if it takes a day longer than November.


Also will you be doing playthrough videos again this year to go with your judging? I really enjoyed it last year and the commentary during the vids was awesome.
