The 8th Annual VLDC: Status Update (OST posted!)

For those who haven't seen it, here's the updated best world submap (redrawn by yours truly #ab{;)}):


And the old one, for comparison:


It's already in the ROM so no other changes will be made, by the way.

Oooh, that certainly looks a lot better. You really made that submap look... alive. Well done!
With that out of the way, I'm just waiting on p4 to code in a couple of shenanigan-related things and then I'll be sending the ROM out to beta testers. It's taking a little longer than I anticipated, but I don't think anyone will mind if things are delayed a few days.

If it's any consolation, here is Magiluigi's testimonial to world X:

[21:29:23] <Magi> HOLY SHIT THE SECRET WORLD
[21:29:41] <Magi> BRUTAL MARIO AIN'T GOT NOTHING ON THIS SHIT DAAAAYYUUUMM[
I'm so hyped! Strange thing being hyped for an SMW Hack #tb{^V^}
I hope the VLDC Series of Hacks will continue like it's been done the last two years. It's such a good way to showcase the diversity of things the userbase is able to create.

Indeed, too bad most outsiders would assume SMWCP would be a better representation of that based on its name. (and yes, I'm aware I'm not a level design expert myself, I'm just saying.)


Actually, what you said gives me an idea NGB. Would it be possible to, at some later point in time, have some other overworld contest or something and make 'collabs' for past VLDCs before the seventh? That might not work, but it's just an idea.

No clue whn it could be done though. One thing at a time of course. :)

That would probably work, outside of several billion instances of MAP16 remapping.

But yeah, one thing at a time.

I'm not sure if it would be possible to create a collab of the VLDCs due to the sheer number of levels and sublevels each has. I don't think there are enough levels accessable from the overworld much less map16 pages available for a project of such proportions. It's a neat idea. Maybe if we took the top 8 from every collab and put that together as an "Allstars of VLDC" sort of thing or "Worst of VLDC".

This idea is already trademarked by a group of people and its still under consideration....

Every year would be possible except the one year that had ~130 entries (2010 iirc). However, it would be way too much work since nobody was asked to post the resources with their level, meaning a bunch of manual extractions would have to be done. On top of that, there are a least a few entries in previous years which go insanely overboard with their Map16 and sublevel abuse.

Although it's probably possible to set them all up, it would take an insane amount of time (especially when you consider that both the VLDC7 and VLDC8 were designed with a collaboration ROM in mind and they still took a hell of a long time).
The redrawn map looks really awesome!
Good job Magiluigi!
HYPE!!!#wario{;)}

What "X" means?
Abstract World or Space World?

Neither.

Then could you explain the meaning of X on VLDC8?
it's a surprise
X means it's one third as good as XXX #wario{<3}
