Post by: Purple Ink on March 11, 2020, 21:14:03
The favourite level of the compo was LPChip Hooray Fun Time. However, as was mentioned, it is ineligible for the prize.

Here is the list of levels according to votes:

1. LPChip Hooray Fun Time
2. Petals II
3. Forgotten Realms

So this means Talps wins the prize with Petals II. Congrats, Talps. :)

Would it be ok for me to submit Forgotten Realms (https://nifflas.lp1.nl/index.php?topic=7203.0) to the compo even though it was started in 2018 (and finished this year)? I'm guessing it'd be subjected to a score penalty, but I'm ok with that. Since I highly doubt I'll be able to make another epic level again in my lifetime, I might as well participate with what I got :P

I'm fine with you submitting Forgotten Realms. The penalty will depend on how many other levels are submitted.

Since I didn't really make it official back then when I asked about it: I hereby submit Forgotten Realms (https://nifflas.lp1.nl/index.php?topic=7203.0) to the compo!

I'm not sure if I missed this post or forgot about it, not expecting to work on anything big again. As it happens, lockdown has given me time and energy to work on something this year, but I don't know if I'll be finished by January... Guess we'll have to see how it goes. I'm getting a lot done at the moment but the next (and final) area will probably be quite a bit slower.

@Talps Well that's okay. Only 1 level submitted so far. So it's easily possible to extend deadline if necessary to allow more levels to be submitted. I guess we'll see if any more levels are submitted between now and then.

LPChip Hooray Fun Time could be entered just so Reditus has something to beat. I had hoped to at least work on a level of my own, but then I joined the The Machine project.

I would like to request a one year extension!
Title: Re: Epic Level Contest V3

One year might be too long. We'll start smaller and add more time if necessary.

New deadline is July 1, 2021

Please accept Petals II (https://nifflas.lp1.nl/index.php?topic=7259.msg75195#msg75195) as my entry to this competition.

So far two levels have been submitted. The deadline is still pretty far away but I'm curious if anyone else has something in the works. :)
Title: Re: Epic Level Contest V3
Post by: Talps on June 23, 2021, 14:21:35
Deadline is next week. Anyone else got anything to submit?

Hey all. I moved two weeks ago and haven't been able to set up internet yet; currently using a temporary hotspot. So the submission deadline and opening for voting probably won't happen exactly as planned on the specific dates. It'll still be relatively close though. When I can get full internet I'll make a post and it'll be the end of the submission period. Should be about another week or so to give you an estimate.

I was kinda hoping The Machine remake would be ready to go when this closed, but maybe I'm overestimating its ability to meet the minimum room count. I also like egomassive's idea of submitting LPChip Hooray Fun Time. I dunno... maybe we do need another 6 month extension after all?
Title: Re: Epic Level Contest V3
Post by: Talps on June 25, 2021, 20:13:03
I wouldn't mind it is LPChip Hooray Fun Time was submitted.
Title: Re: Epic Level Contest V3
Post by: Purple Ink on June 30, 2021, 06:21:13
Okay I'm back. I'm fine with LPChip Hooray Fun Time being submitted so there are more levels. However, like Island of Mimir, it cannot win the prize. Firstly because of its age. Secondly because it was a collaboration.

As far as extending the deadline: no. There is no point in extending the deadline if people aren't working on levels. I will give it a few more days for anyone to come forward and say they are working on a level. If no one comes forward we will move onto the voting phase. If devs for The Machine remake want to come forward and say the level will be submitted I can extend the deadline.

Though The Machine will certainly be over 400 screens when finished, I don't feel like it's epic. It's a normal level. Being a remake of the original KS level, it's about as normal as a level can be. And, if collaborations are disqualified from winning then there's no reason to hold up the judging and awarding of the epic levels which have a shot.

As no one else has come forward, submissions are now closed. Voting is open!

Submissions:

Vegetal Gibber: Forgotten Realms (https://nifflas.lp1.nl/index.php?topic=7203.0)
Talps: Petals II (https://nifflas.lp1.nl/index.php?topic=7259.0)
Nifforum: LPChip Hooray Fun Time (https://nifflas.lp1.nl/index.php?topic=7228.0)

Play the levels and then send me a PM listing the levels from your favourite to your least favourite. If you submitted a level, votes for your own level will be disregard. The level with the most favourite votes is the winner! Voting ends on August 1, 2021. If people end up needing more time we can discuss it closer to August 1.

Special note about LPChip Hooray Fun Time: it can win first place as the favourite level of the compo. However, given its age and the fact that it was a collaboration, it cannot win the prize. If it wins first place, the second place level will win the prize.

I will abstain from voting despite playing all the levels. In the event of a tie I will cast the deciding vote.

As a reminder, the prize is a key for Chucklefish's game Wargroove.

Thanks everyone! I'm glad the group project won it, as so many people worked so hard on that (including Veg and me, so basically we both won regardless :P). And also grateful for the votes for Petals II; glad to have made something people like.

Thanks for making this happen, Purple Ink.
