We're all creative people inside, so I wanted a simple way to allow people to bring that out. Welcome to the contest!

Here are the rules:

This is what you have to work with:

Your final level design will be imported over a clean rom for testing. All possible levels that can be used together without conflict will be compiled into one collection rom for others to enjoy.

Claim your level slots: (This is just to make importing into one big ROM easy)

Slots open are:
100 - 138 (Hex)
1 - 27 (Hex)

There are more, slots and I'll open them up if we fill these up.

Awards will be given for a few categories, but it will be a secret until the results!


____________________

Tips!
Ctrl-D will open a level number, and allow you to jump there quickly!


Ctrl-Del will allow you to delete the whole level and start fresh!


The Level > Properties dialog boxes are handy for making your level unique:


Changing your level's Sprite/Tile selection is easy with the Level > GFX Index in Header... option!


If you want to quickly copy another background, use Level > Copy Background Image

Note: This will not set the tiles required for some backgrounds!

Well, that's it for tips! Good luck to everyone! I hope to see some great designs!

How affiliated with SMW Central is this? I'd hate it to be a ton of P-switch/shell/key juggling every level while spin jumping on ball and chains over a pool of lava the whole time. Challenge is fine, but that crap is just not fun.

Not in any way. It's just open to Jul's public members.

So if we plan on using the second level as a sublevel, should we claim it as a level that is inaccessible from the OW?

Yes please.

____________________

I'll have to force reset [!] switches for some paths as well. So the final rom will have a few patches in it, even if the levels themselves do not. :/

Post it here!

It never is on any emulator.

Yes, go ahead. That goes for anyone.

I really hope they expand on the end game, in the sense, that it makes sense where you can go and what to do after the main story ends.

After the main story ended in B&W I am sorta left clueless on where the end content is. Sure, there is still plenty (though not nearly as much as in HG&SS) but it's hard to get a good clue on where to go first or what is do-able without some event activating by weird means. ;


I really hope they took the time to work on the content this time around to make it amazing and not just a cash grab. B&W2 have taken much longer then either Emerald or Platinum, so it makes sense that they should have been able to get a lot of new content done. And from what I read in the link, there does seem to be content, time will tell how well it is done.

Er, you keep going around the map? --> That's what I did for post game anyway. (I got my arse kicked quite a few times... )

No, you can't. Sorry.

Are there any remaining slots left to plug in a level? Decided on a whim to make a level in about 90 minutes (as I was bored) and I want to see if I'd still be able to enter it. I know I'm not gonna win any awards with it, but I tried making it fair difficulty-wise.

Plenty of slots open, and if you run into a conflict, I'll do the moving for you!

Deadline is the 16th 11:59:59PM Newfoundland Time, better hurry everyone!

Bhew, I procrastinated this competition all the way to the deadline. More than interested on the results though. Are there multiple judges or what kind of rating system do you plan on using?

---

It's a secret.

I will be roping in another person or two.

I really do want to keep people away from designing to guidelines. I will say that fun is a factor.

Giving an extension. I have an exam tomorrow and have to head to bed early. So the thread's going to stay open till I get back from school tomorrow.

That means you have about 16 hours from now.

Good luck again!
