KS Level Competition

i heard it was going to be a public vote. Is it too late now?

Do you mean a vote on the submitted levels or on which contest we do?

which contest we do

I think we meant a public vote for who is the winner.

I like your idea though.  I've actually had several ideas for comps I wish I had posted because I've totally forgot them now.

Well, My mistake... I just thought it was for that because Purple pineapple competition got cancelled.
I also just came up with an idea for your competition. Ill just save that competition for next time unless something else happens

Well, My mistake... I just thought it was for that because Purple pineapple competition got cancelled.

It didn't get cancelled. It ended. No one entered.

So.. we're doing Peppy's comp?

I am going to make a competition recap on my website, It will record the previous competitions and have links to the
levels.

1st Place levels will have a Golden shade on the level icon
2nd Place levels will have a Silver shade on the level icon
3rd Place levels will have a Bronze shade on the level icon

Those will lead to links with the level description and all that.

This will only happen later.

So.. we're doing Peppy's comp?

Well now, I didn't say that.  Just said I liked the idea.  Anyhow, Bulbapuck is the one who has already started a level for the comp I suggested, so I would think you'd need to ask him before pulling the plug. 

Arright, whatever. Call me over when you guys decide something.

It's fine by me, I'm still working on the tilesets for the level and I've started working on my FiNCK level again as well, so that's also distracting. So I don't think I could have finished on time anyway

If it is my competition that im hosting, The deadline would be a week after July 31st. Extension is 2 weeks after July 31st

Headgrinder, My idea for this level competition was thought up a while ago. I just saved it onto my computer for when i get the opportunity to make a level competition

since bulbapuck is okay with competition transition, Whos competition shall we
host.

I'm trying to get my butt in gear and at LEAST make a preview of my first large level.  I've been working on tilesets for months and still don't have a preview.  So I'm out.  

Since Headgrinder is out...
This is the new competition
Example for the Theme: Levels like Safety and Chamber of Trials
You must make a level with 3-5 big areas, The next area needing a key
from the current area. The end of the area can either be the last
area or have a seperate exit which needs a key from the last area.

Detailed Example: First area has no key gate, Has a red key at the
end of the area. Second area has a red key gate, Has a blue key
at the end.  Third area has a blue key gate, Has a yellow key at
the end. Fourth area has a yellow key gate, WIN Tile at the end
or a purple key at the end. Fifth area (If fourth area doesn't have
a win tile) has the WIN Tile at the end. Of course, the colors
don't have to be in that specific order.

Difficulty Factor: The next section should be harder than the last.
It can be any difficulty as long as it follows the guideline.

Environment: The majority of this category will be judged by the
quality of the environment, This won't affect much though.
4 Bonus Points: Either make the tilesets based on the color of
the key, It doesn't have to be the entire area but the area's
entrance and key shrine or make the area's themes by the following
Section with the Red Key: Fire Theme
Section with the Yellow Key: Earth Theme or Wind Theme
Section with the Blue Key: Water Theme or Ice Theme
Section with the Purple Key: Wind Theme or the Weird Unknown
FORBIDDEN RULE: Wind Theme is Used Twice
CONSEQUENCE: No Bonus Points (For Forbidden Rule)

Music: Not looking for much here. This will count if it fits with the area.
Fits with the area: 8 points
Doesn't fit with the area: 4 points
NO Music: 0 points

Storyline: This isn't important but you should give a storyline at the
least.

Did PeppyHare4000 like this: Did i like the level, Will only count for
two points.

Deadline: September 4th, 2010
Extension: Has been used. (Original Due Date was August 28th, 2010)
You get extra points for being early at the deadline or extended deadline
These are bonus points so some points won't count if it exceeds the
possible amount of points you can get. Use this to your advantage.
