I'm okay with hard levels- the only levels I have problems with are fast auto-scrollers, which is why I gave up on Kaizo 1...

Oh yeah, what are the judging categories? I only saw Overall, Difficulty, Understanding, and Graphics.

Isn't it on the first post, or you can't seem to see it?

Well, I guess you guys got close to around half. Although for any team hack, if someone does less than 25% will not be given a trophy if he/she is in the top 3. (Hmm, I should add that to the rules)

So what's the verdict?

At times like this, you need to step back and say, "Where's the Balloon Party?"

No offence kyurel but you really need to fix a few things, I made it to the vertical lifts but the timing was horrible and I must of waited there for about 20/30 seconds and still wasn't in sync. So I couldn't complete it. Also I only had to use slowdown on 2 of the levels.

You both get trophies. (that is, if you place)

Okay. that's what I needed to know.

As I mentioned before, I'm not done with this hack. Also, are you implying that it's still too hard? You should see what the original one was like.

Alright guys (and gals). I have made the top 3 place trophies. You may view them here:

1st Place - SMW Central Kaizo Level Design Contest

2nd Place - SMW Central Kaizo Level Design Contest

3rd Place - SMW Central Kaizo Level Design Contest

I will do the participant badge later.

Try these:

1st Place - SMW Central Kaizo Level Design Contest

2nd Place - SMW Central Kaizo Level Design Contest

3rd Place - SMW Central Kaizo Level Design Contest

Quick tip: instead of the alt element, which only shows the text in IE, you can use the title element; notice that the element on sonia's description has "title: title text" instead of alterantive "text: alt txt" so you should do this instead: Code <img src="image link" title="winner of the kaizo level contest"> So the trophies should do this: 1st Place - 2nd Place - 3rd Place -

You should of made it at least possible to finish the demo, no I'm saying it's too easy. The other levels I could complete with 1 or 2 savestaes and no slowdown at all.

I feel kinda stupid asking this but if we were to get a trophy, would it automatically be put in our profile or would we have to put it in ourselves? And if we would have to put it in ourselves, how would we go about doing that?

It would normally be put into your account by an admin, but you can edit it with HTML. I know ulti knows how to do it.

You may discuss the contest here, ask questions, and post your works, but you must NOT discuss ANY of the other submitted levels besides your own. Doing this will result in disqualification from the contest. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please post them here. Discussion is free and open.

Unless that was unintended copypasta or I'm misinterpreting it, you're just about to break a rule that will cause disqualification from the contest. So it might be best to drop the subject of kyurel's/whoever-he's-working-with's hack, NekohDot.

holy dear mother of christ this thing has been released

Heh, looks like I'm being considered as the one to ask when it comes to HTML, as PenangBenny asked me a question earlier in a PM. Yet, it's true, I've been learning about HTML and whatnot.

Anyways, it depends on if this is an actual official contest with real trophies or not. If it is, an admin would put it in your profile, and enter you in the trophies section of the site. If it's not a real official contest, you'll have to make a trophy section in your profile yourself. See how my profile has sections? It would be like that, a mock-up, not a real trophies section, and you won't be entered in the trophies section of the site.

Thanks for answering my questions.

Man, I forgot how much easier it is to balance the difficulty of a Kaizo-level compared to a regular one. There's so much more freedom of design when your checklist is "Can I do it without a savestate? Yes? Ok, done."

I'm already about 2/3 of the way done with what I have planned for level design, though I may have to do some work on making it look pretty. So far its vanilla but I'm sure I can put something together for the remaining sections to change that.

Heh. For anything but this contest, you know you're doing something wrong when your inspiration for a level segment is "I wanna be the guy."
