None of what you supposed is truly final. Also, I doubt VLDC12 will have an overworld contest, given that there were no promises for a compilation.Windowless ride, feeling alive
Are you alive or just breathing?
I removed OLDC2 and Overworld Contest from the list of "contests considered for 2020" because neither of these contests will be held during the rest of this year. Mad Scientist and 12DBCLDC are still being considered.
It appears that I was at least half right. I'm sad for the lack of the OW contest, but I'm still interested on the Christmas one.
I'm hyped for the christmas one too.Want progress on 100 Rooms of Enemies: The Nightmare Edition? Go here to see.

It's decided: The autumn contest focuses on an aspect of hacking which rarely had a contest: ASM — it will be the second Mad ASM Scientists with improved rules and better themes.

Why does it convert into this weird face?
This isn’t really relevant. This thread is to discuss site events/contests coming up not to make “your first post”. Please stay on topic in threads and follow the site rules otherwise you could face warnings/bans down the line.
If you want to introduce yourself or something, take a look at this thread and tell us about yourself. If you have questions about the site, we have a forum for that here.

What's the mad scientist asm contest?This is my non existent layout I plan on adding one soon.. or never
It's an ASM contest with a substantial amount of rounds where you should code something based on a given theme under a deadline. Usually there's a rough description detailing what you're supposed to do plus public voting. It may not help you much (or it may), but here is the first take at the contest.
I think it should be in the contest glossary or something Windowless ride, feeling alive

That thread hasn't been updated since 2017. Anyone on staff can update that thread, but we already have a glossary of sorts, although it mostly contains a short but brief descriptions on each item.
12DBCLDC (which will most likely be the one for december, it seems) is more doable but I don't really fancy my chances on creating 12 levels on 12 days. It's a miracle if I do 4! But I guess I'll try.
In the last contest you didn't just have 12 days to complete 12 levels, it's more that a random theme is revealed pur day and then after the 12 days are over you still have until like January 12th to get the hack finished. There's also rules in place where you are forced to not make really huge levels, so it's fair for everyone.Want progress on 100 Rooms of Enemies: The Nightmare Edition? Go here to see.

And that last part from reading over that year's contest rulesset I recall was very confusing because how would one quantify like for example - bonus areas, secret exits, and end level areas that contain goal gates or keys when it comes to having them in separate levels, to be considered or not if it meets the 8-F screens requirement range?
If the contest does return for another go this winter, I hope that the organizers can either redefine that rule (e.g. like what you had in vldc11 and bldc for a hard timer rule of at max 600 smw seconds if you dont want creators designing gauntlets and even then I'm not fond of that rule) or preferably remove such a rule since aside from the given level themes people were allowed to use virtually anything they wanted for their smw hack levels and just penalize creators for making bad levels.Modern Redrawn Mario Bros. 1.5 (last update - February 14, 2023, some new bonus frames, tons of minor touchups to various poses)

Projects I support:
I don't think it was that confusing; you only have F screens per theme given to you. That includes bonuses, secret exits, and all. If you wanted bigger levels you could mash two or more themes together. Bonus rooms weren't a theme so you wouldn't be able to have them anyway. If you wanted to have an area with goodies, they would have to apply the same aesthetic as the main level (or offset one of the themes for bonus areas).Want progress on 100 Rooms of Enemies: The Nightmare Edition?

Alright, Mad Scientist ASM is finished and December is only 10 days away. Any update for the Undecided Winter Contest?
Not 2020, but I hope there's SMWC Class of 2021 coming up
Just out of curiosity, is the ExGFX contest occupying the winter event "slot" or are we still potentally getting a 12 Days Before Christmas LDC this year?

My question exactly, as id like to know that myself. Tho I wouldnt mind the ExGFX contest occupying that spot if it turns out 12 Days Before Christmas LDC doesnt pan out.Modern Redrawn Mario Bros. 1.5 (last update - February 14, 2023, some new bonus frames, tons of minor touchups to various poses)
