Old-School Level Design Contest 2021 - Discussion

OLD - Level DesignOLDCDiscussion

Yeah, the rules forbid map16 manipulation, but you can place tiles from the first two pages into your level.

I just realised Lazy submitted early in a contest. The pillars of existence have been shaken. Does that mean I could win?
It's easily the best thing I've done
So why the empty numb?

No, that just means everyone is substantially less Lazy on their entries.

Installing fix for sprite 19 is legal, isn't it?

Sorry, missed this question yesterday. I am not allowing any fix patches for this contest. (aside from FastROM)
Not even using LM to fix sprite 19 is allowed? Do I have to use standard Display Level Message 1, then?
I have a Discord server as well! (by joining, you agree to the rules)

Basically, I believe in peace and bashing two bricks together.

Do you mean the overworld save fix?

I misunderstood what 7 up was talking about. The sprite 19 fix in LM is perfectly fine to use.
Wait, I wasn't aware FastROM was allowed. (I think I don't really need it anyway)

Does "not including your name in the submission" include the file name as well? Since I assumed you're renaming those. I always used the same submission name format for anonymous contests and there was never any issue. I could rename it if needed though.

I had originally said no, but it turns out the entry randomizer is for patches and not ZIPs, so having your name on the filename is fine. Make sure it's not include inside your entry, though!
Since my last fan-judging got so much positive feedback and I decided to do it again and definitely not because I was bored as fuck or anything like that.

Playlist of all parts, read description for what levels are in that video. I'll put timestamps tomorrow/later. If you have any beef or any questions just PM me(include your levels name), but writing essay about how my judging/playstyle sucks ass doesn't make your level any better so save that energy to improve your level instead. Im not official judge and never will so you can ignore my option freely.

EDIT: all parts now has timestamps, and all levels are done up to 24-04-2021 10:52:13 AM or upto N450's level.

EDIT: part 7 up, all levels upto BlueToad's level are done (25-04-2021 09:56:24 AM).
As I don't find it int he rules thread:
- Can the time limit be 000 = infinite?
- Can we use as many levels / sublevels as we want?








Yes to both, just be mindful that an overly long level may get scored worse by the judges.
I decided to join in on this, and I’m definitely nervous. I’ve been a part of this community for 14 and a half years, and while it’s fun to be known as “that amazing overworld guy,” I feel it’s definitely time to prove myself in other aspects.

I do hope I do well. This is the best contest to prove something in, given it’s purely level design and creativity within very specific limitations. I won’t lie and say I wouldn’t throw everything and the kitchen sink into a Chocolate LDC if that would’ve been my first time instead. Lol.

Be short and sweet, y'all. The judges and compilation players shall be thankful!

My aim was to try to be short and sweet, so I hope I didn't fail #ab{<_<}

Weirdly enough the longer levels were my favorites lol. the longest one was 12min 50second and I didn't even finish it(puzzles are not my thing) and it seem'd to go little longer too. Despise that its one of the better levels 🤷
You sure it's your favorite if you couldn't even finish it? :P
