Chocolate Level Design 2010 - Discussion

CLDCDiscussion

Well, I'm deciding on cutting out some content that I originally had planned for my level, because I do still want to be part of this contest. At the rate I'm going, even when working all day today with no interruptions, I wasn't able to come close to getting near what I wanted. I'm starting to regret scrapping my old idea that I spent a good month on before starting this.. !

But to be honest, I was secretly expecting a deadline extension this year similar to other past contests. Although I started to lose hope after none had been announced a week before the deadline. Way to be not as predictable as I anticipated, S.N.N... !!

Hopefully my watered down version will still be amazing enough to warrant a good score.

So you guys only have about another week to get your submissions in. There have been a fair amount so far, but I'm still interested in seeing more.

Keep them coming.

Yeah, something like that. Hence why I said "about" another week, since I was too lazy to check the first post.


So it's a week or four days?

I thought it was a deadline extension... oh well.

Hey people, the contest will end today or tomorrow? I'm from Brazil and the time here is a little different, so I'm asking.
Thanks!

It will be ending today/night in about three hours from now. I'm assuming so as S.N.N. and I are in the same timezone. Three hours from the present time is midnight where I live.

Phew, glad I finished my level in time. I'm not expecting anything big, however I'm hoping to do better than my Vanilla Resource Level that I made some time ago. Man, that was horrible. >_<

Today is the 23rd, the 24th is when it's due. Technically midnight is the 24th, but I'm pretty sure the date is 11:59 on the 24th.

If only. Just one more day and I could get this finished...
It's ending in about 24 hours from now (Sunday night my time).

Better get working tomorrow.
Here's a complete video of my entry:

There is a VERY TINY amount of cutoff near the end where the diagonal lava meets the wall. Do I have enough time to submit an update?
EDIT: Wow, exactly 15 minutes! 8>

EDIT 2: Update submitted.

Ok, thanks. I found it, but I wasn't sure if that was what it was for? how do i know which pallete is the one for the SMW2 goombas?
Thankfully, I've got everything done. I submitted my level, and I love it. I would have done more to it, but I ran out of time. Like most of us, I had work and real life to take care off; but I'm looking forward to the final judging and the next Vanilla Contest.
I no longer have interest in SMW Hacking as I did when I first started several years ago.
I am so relieved to have finally finished my level. I started it about 25 days ago so I'm actually sort of surprised I got so much done, considering I'm usually much slower than that. It's not exactly what I originally wanted from it (wanted to add a "house" made of clouds in the cloud area, and a larger secret path), but in the end I think it worked out great regardless.

The graphics may look really simple and easy to draw but this was actually more complex than I thought it would be. Since I wanted to make the areas look like an authentic drawing, to where it didn't look like tiles were reused over and over again throughout the level, I had to use a ton of graphics slots. Porting all of them over from a paint program to SMW's 8x8 tiles and then into 16x16 tiles was very tedious. But I like the way it turned out.

I didn't have too much time to test it, so I'm hoping for the best as far as bugs go.. !
55 minutes left guys, good luck!

At least according to someone it ends in almost an hour.
Can I still submit my level? I have to make an IPS patch of it, but I was just wondering if I had time still. Also, a side note, i tested it a lot times, but I think it makes a sound and crashes in SNES9x 1.51, but I used ZSNES 1.42, and the level worked perfectly fine. However, when I tried to insert the Bowser, you can see it, but the colors are kind of strange, and I was unable to figure out how to make the colors look right.

You can submit it until until the thread is closed.
We still have to insert all the music and make some touch ups, if possible, can we have an hour extension? We won't have enough time to do it in 20 minutes.

Ok, thanks. I assumed he lived in the East Coast so that would be 11:00 P.M. here.
Bloody hell, we missed our chance...
Good luck to y'all. I got lazy and didn't enter this year, but I hope people would've soundly beat me anyway.
Let's say I was in a hurry last night and uploaded the wrong IPS file (a bad one, accidentally patched the clean rom to the modified rom because I had to rush). If there was a proper one in my My Files right now, would I still be able to use that even though I can't modify my submissions post?

I'd really hate to see my work have been for nothing :(.
