HLDCResults

Greetings ghouls and ghoulettes. It is now a mere 5 days until Halloween. Isn't that exciting? I hope you all have your costumes ready.

Instead of rambling about nothing, let me get straight to the point - the winners of the 2008 Halloween Ghost House Making Contest are the following:

SCARIEST LEVEL AWARDS:
1st - MATTAN
2nd - Kc
3rd - Blue Rabbit

BEST DESIGNED/MOST UNIQUE LEVEL AWARDS:
1st - Kc
2nd - MATTAN
3rd - WhiteYoshiEgg

Looks like two people had both a scary AND a well designed ghost house - to everyone else, you can see the full results here.

Both andy_k_250 (Halloween Candy) and I both enjoyed judging this contest - even through the levels which were simply tedious. If you want to see our breakdown about your level, please choose one of the following links:

If you have any questions, or notice a mistake in counting, please make it known.

As for the prizes - first place will receive a badge and a title. Second and third places receive a badge. All of the six winners will receive a trophy in our lovely un-updated hall of fame.

We hope you enjoyed this contest, and we look forward to see you soon!
Congrats to the winners. :D

Congratulations to all the winners, especially MATTAN and Kc! I tried MATTAN's early on when he first released it, and I tried Kc's here and there during development. I'm glad these two won, as it is pretty obvious just how much effort went into both hacks, with the story, graphical edits, and the overall feel...it was just amazing how much was accomplished within the limitations SMW possess.

Once again, congrats to all!
I played both KC's and MATTAN's... I gotta say both were very creepy and scary. It also gave me a couple of ideas for when I want to make a scary level in my hack. WTG guys, you both deserve 1st and 2nd :)Working on something!


Better than the cape!

Good job, guys. I played through the levels a bit, and they deserved it.

*clapclapclap*
Congrats to Kc and MATTAN!
and those other guys... you know who you are!
I'm also glad My ghost house didn't get a terrible score! :D
Next year look for the full Big boo's 100 Trials!
:D
/me hugs shakes hand with Kc, Wye and Blue rabbit. I'm so glad right now :3
I really put much effort into it, and i'm glad it payed of.
I played the most of everyone elses levels, and I must say everyone did an amazing work. No really. All the levels where unique.
hey mattan your hack was the scariest stuff i ever played!! good job mattan:D i havnt found the secret yet
Congrats to the winners. If you look at the results, you'll see that MATTAN actually won by 0.5 points against kc.
Congrats to the winners! It was fun to make the level, even if I did not win. Thanks for this great contest.


Crap.

Somehow I knew I'd lose.

Then again, I half-assed everything, so it's only natural! xD

Isn't Mattan's hack "Mario Wakes Up"? Damn, that was pretty scary for a Super Mario World 1 hack! I actually got a nightmare after playing it! D:

Congratulations to both him and KC for winning in both categories, as well as Blue Rabbit and WhiteYoshiEgg for winning in their respective categories. And props to the rest of us who entered for playing. ^^

I'll have another chance... Anyhow, congrats to Kc MATTAN. Those Ghost house levels were fun play, and kinda gave a feeling like I had while playing Breakdown. Good work.

--Offtopic, don't reply to this down here--

Anyway, like I said for those want to play my ghost house level agian and don't want to download the patch... it is the Third Xtra on my soon to be complete hack.
When I first saw the results, I thought I'd get a custom title... Meh, it's not like the world will end or something just because I can't have some little text below my username. I didn't expect I was going to be one of the winners in the first place, so I'm unbelievably happy right now. :D The badge is neat, by the way.

Also, congratulations to Blue Rabbit, MATTAN and Kc! You've done a great job.


 
But Mattans level was very fun and i was always scared in Mattans level,so I say Mattans Level is the best!It has all of them that i liked (blood,dead mario,Boos,Boss,Cool title,Nice music and more!).

F-Mario X News:C3 Thread Ahead!
By the way, I gaved up hacking SMW. I think I'll come back, but not yet. ~ X-King
Alright, I did pretty good. I had a feeling that MATTAN and KC would win, and I bet everyone here knows why...
MATTAN's was scary. Dude, you put BLOOD everywhere! Not only that, you SEVERED Mario's HEAD from his body.
KC, I played through yours. To tell you the truth, I was lost, and I think you had two rooms that were look-alikes, but lead to different areas. Plus, you got rid of the Status Bar, Got some custom music, and to top it all off, you revamped the graphics.
Congrats to the winners! I got around to playing a few of these, including Kc's, and the level design was superb and creepy, so it's well deserved. Now I'm more excited to play Buried Treasure. I also played WYE's level as well, that was nicely done.
Thanks everyone, I have to admit MATTAN's level freaked me out a hell of a lot, and as he submitted his early on, I just had to build my hack up to the scary factor his clearly had, I have to hand it to you man, you did an awesome job, along with everyone else, I look forward to the next contests!

Thanks SNN and Andy for the kind words in the .txts you did!

Hurray for clowns!! (Or not in SNNs case) :P

Congratulations to Kc!

His hack was the only I´ve played. I have just found the Bad Ending jajaja, but I hope I get the good ending.

Congratulations to MATTAN too, even if Ive never talked to him, and never played his hack (but I will).

I wanted to participate, but I didnt get time (f**k the school ¬¬).

I will try next time.

Congrats guys! Great levels that were well worth playing through.

And not just the winners, there were a LOT of great levels to play. Many very nice custom graphic sets made for this contest, and many very interesting levels that in some cases were expansive enough to defy my attempts to map them out. I went through half of them already, and intend to finish the rest in the coming week.

Shame my level didn't do that well, but I ended up rushing it at the end so I suppose that's to be expected. Thanks to both judges for the comments, I definitely have a few changes to make to a couple of the early rooms before finalizing the level to put it into my hack (and one of these days I have to learn to use that xkas thing so I can get that perfect sprite memory setting I've heard so much about).
