The 32x38 Room(s) Contest

Post by mako » Sat Mar 08, 2014 8:55 pm

We have a new editor. Yay. I mean, Yippee!

In honor of this, I will have a little contest. One which every room is a certain size. 32 (Length) by 38 (Width). For some of you this size will look familiar. :D

RULES AND REGULATIONS
1. ALL rooms are at the aforementioned size, 32x38. No exceptions!
2. NO hubs (I.E., it is all one level set)!
3. You may have up to 60 Rooms. They can be 1 big puzzle, many small puzzles, and/or have a storyline.
4. All editor materials are fair game.
5. You must work on this ALONE. You cannot work with anyone, excluding yourself. You may ask for help with editor functions though.
6. Your submission must be completable with a 'Gold' ranking. (I.E., tested by you)
7. All work MUST be original. You cannot use any puzzles/characters from any other level sets. You may, however, use forum members' username.
8. Remember, do not taunt any of the other submissions. They have feelings too, you know!
9. All submissions are to be PM'd to me, as a .zip file, with any other needed files (The Level, Custom Icons/Textures/Models, etc.). A .txt file, with instructions on downloading is only required on submissions with additional files.
10. All submissions are to be entered by July 4, 2014, by 23:59 MST. If any submissions are entered after this date, it is automatically disqualified.
11. All rules must be met in your submission, or it will be disqualified.
12. You cannot use any 'Pow' or 'Blink' Magic. This includes scripted Spellballs!
13. NO CHEAP TRICKS!!!

EDIT: 2 Rules added, 2 Rules amended, and the end date has been changed.

So this is basically just "make an adventure with WLVs sized 32x38?

No offense, but I think that's going to be a pretty dull competition. The few times WACC earned a reasonable amount of entries (5+), the participants had to follow unique and challenging rules they wouldn't normally try to follow. But because most WLVs in our ordinary adventures already fit in a 32x38 sized area, this competition is pretty much just "make a good adventure", which is what we're always trying to do.

But hey, maybe that's just me. I won't be entering, but maybe someone else will.

To be honest, I have to agree with yot yot5, this contest is rather mundane. The previous contests all had something that made them unique, but this seems like "make some big adventures with whatever." Of course, it may be a good idea to keep things simple at first, but still.

My opinion is the same, this is definitely not challenging. It's like giving your children $8000 and asking them if they can survive one day before you get back home - sure they can, and they'll do many things you haven't intended them to do.

Well, I'd hate to be your child if you think you should make staying alive until you get back as hard as possible. :lol:

But, I do agree.

Just out of curiosity, how many levels maximum and minimum must this require?

And, all so, what's your recommendation on the amount of levels per this adventure?

I actually all ready made one; it was hard, it's the first time I actually really used Z-bots... or flash magic... or suction tubes... or rainbow bubbles... or floing bubbles... or, a level this size, actually.

You can always add exterior walls. It's more of a limit to me, who tends the dimensions 40+. I might have to cut out unnecessary things! :O

I'm sorry Mako, but I probably won't be in for this. It's too vague on what we're supposed to do and I don't feel like making a random one-shot adventure of that size and quality right now. Maybe you should try adding more limits? (e.g. No monsters?)

I've changed some rules, and added 2 rules to 'Serve the Customer'. The new end date is July 4th. If needed I will make it go 'til July 31.

Uh-oh...

If that were Brr, I'd be set. :lol:

Oh well, I am sure I can come up with something, quick.

The minimum level requirement is 1, right?

I've never entirely understood why, either... :?

I personally find it as a motivation to make interesting puzzles.

Really, the two contest levels I made are two of my favorite levels that I've ever made. :P

I would join if it had some type of challenge but this contest to me is so, uh, general? Just "make an adventure with width x and height y" doesn't prove a challenge to me.
Previous Adventure:Time Out
Latest Adventure:Please Don't Feed The Dinosaurs!
Upcoming Adventure: History Lessons

I made it more challenging on myself by making it have to essentially exactly fit into that size...

like, only having 1x1 walls around the edge - if I remember accurately. :shock:

It did make me think a little. :o
