Regarding Contests in the Following Months.

I would like if we had either 24ho contest or CLDC. The former is pretty fun and you can easily pull off with your contest entry, I can even say it's easier than regular LDC's. I've never tried out CLDC as I thought it would be a shame if my level didn't use ASM and I'm not a guy who usually inserts ASM to his levels/hack.

I can agree on Raidenthequick's speedrunning contests suggestions, it would be really fun if one of them really happened. The TAS contest will probably not be a thing as not too many people TAS and some level designers don't know what techniques would slow the TAS-ers down.

Gbreeze, your both contests sound really good as well, especially that one where you team up with an ASM creator and make a level with his own ASM.

God knows what'll happen...

EDIT: It would be nice if we ever had a contest where we are given resources (music, graphics, ASM, etc.), each with 5 examples, to create a fun level with them. It's okay if you coincidentally copy someone's idea for a level, I mean the number of combinations is apparently limited. You only can choose one thing to forgo (custom music, graphics or ASM) if you don't feel like to use it. Basically CLDC, but with more restrictions.

I'm up for a 24ho contest as long as it's vanilla and in a weekend so that many people can enter.

I support CLDC, and always will. And for the next one I'd really like to be a judge. Though only time will tell what'll happen to me next...

I support CLDC.

ASM Contest + YILDC. The former, if made more accessible, would surely be cool, and the latter would make a nice break from all the SMW-related contests. I legit never made a YI level but this appeals to me a lot.

CHOCOLATE LEVEL DESIGN CONTEST AT WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN


im down w/ this too




Are you seriously implying that there are only a few ASMers on this site


raocow's talkhaus tried that and it turned out like garbage lmao (challenge: can u find my level?????? its 24)

Don't you think some levels are actually GOOD?

I entered it and the whole thing was luck based
If you got a shitty resource set, you were fucked

I got K3fka's Spinias and some garbage bush background


you didnt have to

Also, re: Halloween/Christmas Level Design Contests, those are hella boring imo
Shaft them this year tbh

We need more CLDCs to go along with the VLDCs, even with the lesser attendance due to ASM and such not being as accessible
The ASMer and Level Designer combination contest is a cool take on ASM contests btw

whatever keeps bosses from being the second damn round

Then the resource set should be actually good and there'll be more chance you succeed!

My thought process behind my idea was that there are a lot of ASMers and level designers on the site, and a lot of ASMers don't make good levels (cough Alcaro cough LX5), while a lot of us designers have no clue how to make our own ASM. It would be a fun strategy contest where you would want to do the best ou can for your team partner, so you can both win.

But yeah, there are a TON of people who can make ASM and many of them don't enter the design contests.

nothing's stopping a level designer and an asm-er for working together for cldc, though. if we make a harsh limit that you must be a level designer working with an asm-er, the amount of level designers interested in making a level would probably outnumber the amount of asm-ers we have. plus, a lot of our asm people do still like making levels (ex: biob making his own asm for his kldc entry, sonikku when he enters contests, etc).

also dont bully alcaro and lx5 😡

Renember last year, when everyone participated in the ASM contest and the last round, they don't have enough time? Only 3 entries...



Well, everyone prefer CLDC over the ASM contest, because the majority of the SMWC users are hack level designers (correct me if i'm wrong).

If we have a CLDC contest, it'll have per level sprites with PIXI, UberASM and GPS, with some similarities with VLDC, but if we have an ASM contest, make things easier for rookies making an ASM, such an enemy and UberASM.

thats easy you just have to read a lot of pointless nonsense and then get headaches from all the mooncode




Vanilla hacking just isn't very interesting to me ahaha

I'm not a restrictions sorta guy, I prefer having as much freedom as I can


I have a few level ideas on my head, not sure if that counts or not º3º


It was more of a combination of everyone being busy IRL and also Vitor making the first round after the qualification round a goddamn make a boss sprite round, which is absurd because sprites take enough time as is due to testing behavior and making sure the code doesn't go batshit and what not

And since bosses basically take that and add even more complex behavior on top


More people being attracted to level design contests is kind of a no brainer due to most people joining this site for the purpose of making Mario levels

Also ASM is super unintuitive to "normies" (sorry, no better descriptor) due to everything being basically loading and writing to addresses, and comparing values

I just want more 24hour contests and oldk's. yoshi's island would be fun and hopefully a reasonable size of submissions. CLDC is whatever. We should have an actual ASM contest that actually encourages participants rather than pushing them away.

I think in general we just need contests with tighter deadlines / quicker judging. It's fun trying to get everybody involved but when it takes over 2 months minimum for results to just kind of show up the contest has already lost all of its excitement and it's just kind of a "ohyeah that." I get people have RL commitments, its why i dont offer to do anything any more lol. But yeah if a judge drops out just say fuck it and keep going without them.
Tho I guess on the other hand, a longer judging period means you dont have to have as many contests because you can just say there's already too many going on at once. Just do VLDC > 9 month judging period, and then 2 or 3 contests with 6 months of judging each

This could be fixed by just curating the boxes, right? Just make sure nothing shitty/clashing gets in, and you should be able to make it almost level ground.
